The massive spinning bombs that were designed to bounce along the water before sinking and exploding in front of a dam? That technology was developed and used successfully in world war II by the english.
"According to researches made in the 1980s about one-third of Indians study or studied in schools, which have English as medium of instruction. This number has gone up in the 1990s. For these people, English is in many senses their first language and it is easier for them to read, write and even communicate in English than in their own Indian languages. This makes India the second largest English speaking country in the world after USA."
Spam relies on the idiot factor. Ask the same stupid question a few million times, you're going to get a few stupid answers.
As long as there is one ignorant/plain stupid person managing to survive this world, there are ten people waiting in a queue to exploit them and take their money.
Final obligatory quote: A fool and his money are soon parted.
because every couple of years I read something like this:

the architecture of the original amiga was very innovative, more like a ps2 than a pc
I still get a kick from looking at some raytraces I did back in the old amiga days
It's funny you mention "arms race", because the dual arm9's immediately made me think of aim-9 sparrow heat-seaking missiles you see on f-16's.
Now that would be the uber-device to have for xmas!
Where can I get a copy for my PC?
Oh... You need a mac to run it...
If mac users are so unhappy with windows why don't they uninstall it and use OS X?
Ahh... You can't get Windows XP for a mac...
What the hell are they arguing about then?
We have to have a whole extra day every four years because a year is more than 365 days long. If we added a few minutes to every day to force a year to fit into 365 days, things would get confusing really fast. And you'd end up having sunrise at midday.
It's a real shame that time isn't neatly packaged up in whole numbers for our small monkey-brains to digest easier. According to Einstein, time can move at different speeds in different parts of the universe, also depending on how fast you're moving relative to what you're using to measure time.
And you're getting tripped up by this? This is KINDERGARTEN compared to the real problems in measuring time in this universe.
With fly-by-wire, autopilot et al, I think you could safely say most modern airliners "know the way home" too.
Even so, I'd prefer to fly with a drunk pilot (with sophisticated help from computers) than fly in a pilot-less vehicle. That'll NEVER catch on.
How long before they decide to make one of these into an implant? I bet they have scientists working around the clock inventing new ways to spend money.
So imagine when your credit runs out; They don't just cut up your card, they give you surgery.

I see great careers in 'reality TV' in forthcoming generations.
Even though 'reality TV' is a contradiction of terms.
'sif I care, tho, change the channel;p

How can this be applied to real-world applications? Are they going to redesign jet-skis with this information? Or surfboards or body-boards?
Those are a few things this research could possibly apply to, can anyone give me examples of others?

They say they don't want a war because it'd be unprofitable. Isn't avoiding unnecessary bloodshed a good enough reason anymore?
Can anyone tell me the likelihood of tracking down a spammer at a laptop in a city the size of San Francisco?
