Since when has America been in an age of scarcity?? Consider all the famine stricken countries in Africa and what term would you use to describe their societies then? I am not saying that there can be no "leading" society and I am not saying that everyone in the world has to eat without Supersize as a menu option but stating an "age of scarcity" is fatuous.
BTW, if you do limit connexions, please remember that it usually takes one for browsing the site (using Netscape or whatever) PLUS one for the download manager to fetch the file.
Uuuuhhh, I thought most http connections were not keep alive. So that means your page showing the directory listing (file choice) isn't connected... Having clicked on a file to download, the http connection is interrupted by the download manager and it then takes over using as many connections as it is setup for. Your browser just stays on it's listing page. If your download manager has maxed out the allowable number of connections, any link you click on for that site should fail... At least thats the way I figure it works and has worked for me using a download manager.
On the F-22, I believe France is involved in the Euro fighter. Whilst the equality of the planes is debatable, I believe the cost is 2 to 1 in favour of the euro fighter. ie: you upgrade all your F16's to F22s and I upgrade an equivalant number to Euro-Fighters and I will have a 2 to 1 numerical advantage although we both spent the same money...

Never filled the 2 MB on your palm....???
I got the IIIse as a starter. I've got 90 kb left in it's 2000 KB.
The biggest hog is Avantgo with a newspaper, Salon, and Wired and Lastminute.com
Then come the ebooks with
The Black Arrow (or some other Public Domain novel), a Palm Newsheet, and a top 100 wine guide.
a few small games from chess, chinese chess and cribbage
Also an "encrypted" password holder
A shopping list
An image viewer with a map of the London Underground
and that's about it...!
I guess yours is just being an organiser?
Yup! I think I worked out once that a standard novel with a jpg of the cover would be about a megabyte. Say on average it's a book a week. 52 books a year. 60 years reading life. That's 3120 MB. Compress that and you'll probably get it all on a 1.5 GB tape. Tapes these days have gotten better though.... 25 GB. But 20,000 million GB...!
As Keanu says...
Woah...
(I can only squash a few chapters of the Illiad onto my Palm IIIse as I only have some 400Kb for docs)
Whilst I agree that there's no point having a security system that wouldn't stop an armed person (hence the need for armed guards) armed guards themselves are a source of firearms!! There are enough shootings of police by their own firearms that they have specific courses against this for "Firearm Retention". Now I have no idea what level of armed security guards you are putting in a school but will they be better than the police? And will the children at a school compare with the elements of society a police officer meets... To reiterate, unless security guards are well trained you are putting a source of firearms within the school.
Actually, in the article, it was said that the final state is an improvement on some patients conditions. Christopher Reeve is a case in point as his original body's organs are actually deteriorating. Literally wasting away inside his body. This transplant would give him a new body and extend his life. "Perfect Brain Transplant" it isn't but if I was Reeve I'd jump at the chance!
Strangely enough, the artificial womb would remove the "it's part of/my/ body" arguement for abortion. Don't want it? Transplant it! And let's really see if Malthus was correct! (espousing that eventually, population would be too high...) Yes, save every life. Spend thousands of dollars on saving a premature baby. No it's more sense to spend 5 dollars on staple foods for a day for someone in a third world country. Push that population envelope!
Uuuh,I thought that the High tech companies investing in GM crops were making single use seeds. In that you take the GM Seed, you plant the seed, Nature grows the seed, you harvest the crop and there are no more *fertile* seeds...! You have to buy another "one-use" seed!

Sounds too much like a marketing slogan to me

Seems the ecryption story is summed up here nicely.

Hey! Don't just agree with this post about the reporting story, let the people that distribute this story know!!
Contact feedback@ap.org and let them know why you feel the article run in Yahoo news was "whatever".
We should be taking our views out to the world, not just agreeing amongst ourselves, which amounts to a head in the sand.
