I had a security lock...a long time ago, it wasnt very secure though! It locked to the security cable but the plastic hook that the cable went into was busted off quite easily accidentally one time.
I wonder how feasible this idea is though, it seems like it would involve more difficulties than it is worth!
This is an interesting little project, I remember learning about the history of the battle over the Enigma code in Computer Science, and the Colossus, the first programmable electronic computer...maybe now you can emulate a replica of the Colossus, the computer used to decipher the Enigma, and have a mini-WW2 cryptography battle on your computer!
Dont be fooled into investing in something just because it uses the internet!
Actually look at the business model first! Just because it has.com behind the name isnt a magic formula for success!
Be aware of what the internet can and cant do, ebay is a wonderful perfect use of the internet, you pay for the servers and maintenance and everyone who uses it does the rest, however on the other hand an idea to sell toothpicks over the internet is not a good idea, even if it is a.com!
I am sorry, anyone who responds to penile-enlargement ads, or nigerian scams, or any sort of other spam is a complete and utter moron.
I dont know why anyone out there would do this, especially given the poor quality of the advertisements sent out via email by the spammers....
Ahh..but as Monsieur Barnum said, "A Sucker is Born Every Minute"....it was true then and it is true now, there are people out there too stupid to live!
And in response to a previous post, at least drug dealers and embezzlers require a modicum of intelligence, the haphazard style of the spammers indicates they have none.
I remember when HGH (Human Growth Hormone) was being abused by bodybuilders... I wonder if we will have a similar scenario with this...

Turns out the comic book writers put more thought into it that you would have first thought!

Nerdy kid:I'm looking for a Batman for my Batmobile.
Lee:Who about a nice "Thing" action figure?
Nerdy kid:Uhh no,I need a Batman!
(Lee smashes a thing figure into the Batmobile so it's legs are sticking out the floor)
Nerdy kid:You broke my Batmobile!
Lee:Broke,or made better!
Read the small print, they send a "symbolic portion" of the cremated body, that could be one speck of the ash, that way you can send up an unlimited number of bodies in one go, sounds like a license to print money to me!
Another rip off is the name a star after you, listed at the bottom as part of the cheaper option, I have researched this name a star after you after hearing it on the radio and thinking about naming one after my girlfriend (she is into cosmology) but after researching it I discovered that all the people do is write the name down in a book that the company has, but the company has no right to name the star (only the International Astronomical Union (IAU) has the right to officially name celestial objects), so all you get is an expensive piece of paper ($50 and up) and here they are charging $300 bucks for that a digital broadcast!!

It is ridiculous that we are able to streamline and technologically advance every aspect of life except for voting! It should be quite easy to make voting electronic, and in local elections I have voted electronically and had absolutely no problem with it.
I think an independent committee of computer science professors from prestigious institutions should be assembled and given the mandate to create a transparent e-voting process.
Face it, we IT guys are going to have to band together if we want to put some sort of political pressure on the government in order to stop the wholesale destruction of our livelihoods!
The truth of the matter is, the rich CEOs couldnt give a f**k about us, and if things continue the way they have been going there isnt going to be a middle class in this country anymore, just the very poor and the very rich (the gap between the top and bottom quartiles has been increasing non-stop!)
I have to agree this item is not really newsworthy,
As an owner of the SPV Phone (Sound, Picture, Video) which runs on Windows architecture I already have Gameboy, NES, SNES and even SCUMM (All the old LucasArts adventure games) emulators, and I have been playing MULE on my PHONE for almost a year now. (Not to mention being able to watch movies, listen to MP3s, etc.)
Face it, Palm sucks for games, PocketPCs have far more emulators available, and if you want to be a real./er get a phone with Windows architecture and watch cams on the underground!
The truth of the matter is, I feel no qualms whatsoever for downloading musical files (actually I probably dont listen to any label that is part of the RIAA anyway)
This is the crux of the problem, although they have scared the P2P Kazaa kiddies off with the RIAA's actions that has done nothing but make the P2P more well run and it is now the dominion of./ers with super high speed connections sharing high quality files.
An analagous situation can be seen with the "War on Drugs", all it has done is improve the quality of the drugs being used!

Does it seriously just advise you to look under the cap? I have been doing that for years, no big suprise there.

Whoops, I swallowed my iPod again!
I dont know if she is that small, I think it is just that most of the baddies are quite huge (and she changes bodies regularly as well..)
An interesting thing along the same vein for readers of Battle Angel Alita (aka Gunnm) "The Physics of Tiphares" http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Fuji/7539/phys.html

Wow. I have heard of typos, but to transpose words completely like that...its kind of strange.
