you were lucky:) I only had the money for a Archimedes 305 in Q1'88 and doubled the RAM to 1 Mb in Q2'89 for a hefty 300 Euro equivalent for 16 chips (if I remember correctly), but it was fun.
Fingerprints, iris scans, voice recognition will never work for everybody all the time because there will always be people without hands, eyes or voice. That's why a picture of your head works great for ID-ing purposes.
Don't forget that stainless steel won't rust, but stains very easily just by touching it.
Also, the doors of the DeLorean did leak, which is particulary bad if you have gullwing doors.
Keep it, as you also might want to know for security reasons if a former employee tries to login.

Real Problems

· Score: 1
I find it very difficult to get the Real player working from behind my firewall, whereas Windows Media Player works everytime.
This makes the Real player worthless for me.
Current day CPUs like the Pentium march to an internal clock that at this moment runs at around 2 Ghz. This is both difficult to design and very inefficient.
There is research going on that changes the clock based design for much more energy efficient clockless design. Mind you this is nothing new, just not applied yet to every day computers.
One interesting chip design is/was the Amulet which is compatible with the very popular ARM design in a clockless version.
There would be no index or content on your machine. Just URLs in your browser history.
K.I.S.S.: By using your browser history only as filter you would have up-to-date information (Google's massive index will take care of that) and wouldn't waste space with cached versions of web pages and the full text index.
I am sure this would work much better than any attempt at a graphical representation of your browser history.
I am not sure how to implement it, maybe a plugin? But however you implement it, you don't need either the content or the index of the pages you have visited because 'everything' already has been indexed by Google. Just search using Google and the 'plugin' will only present the hits that are from sites you have visited in the (recent) past (according to your browser history)
Google has an API and with that and access to your browser history you should be able to it.
The license could however be an issue and this is where MS could have the edge on searching as they can integrate it much tighter with IE. In that case substitute Google by MS Search in the text above.
It is. Just restrict the results to sites you have visited in the (recent) past. You would use it to retrieve this single URL you forgot the bookmark but are unable to find in your history.
Using Google for the search is much better than just searching in you browser history because then you would only search in URLs and Titles, no page bodies.
It is a bit like using a multiple "site:" tag in your search string, except that the definition of this multiple "site:" tag is based on your browser history.
Except that the concept of filtering a search result using your browser history is very simple. I would not need it all the time, only when I know I have been somewhere, but forgot the exact URL. Changing my personal search profile for this purpose is brute force and prone to miss anyway.
I would see this filtering as an advanced way of searching your history by using the huge index of Google.
Slashdot Mirror
but it did feature a real CM-5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_Machine) in the control room.

and the CVT has been around since 1959: http://www.ritzsite.demon.nl/DAF/DAF_cars_p1.htm
I would give Febreze a try. It removed the stench of the content of a bottle of fish oil from the upholstering of my car.
They used a single character for encoding the year (the 10th character). That is why it will end in 30 years
Huygens sounds the same as Huigens. The UI is one of the few Dutch diphthongs and fairly difficult to pronounce (for non-native speakers that is).
See here for more double vowels, diphthongs,single open vowels and triphthongs
The US has joined the metric system a long time ago.
They are even actively monitoring these messages. Be careful what you type, you might end up in the slammer sooner than you think.
What I mean is that the throughput (for me at least) is more like that of a 3.5" floppy disk drive than a harddrive.
Using gmail as a backup medium is useless for me, even with just 1Gb to fill.
If people are really using a T1 connection then the cost of a extra harddrive for backup purposes is peanuts.
it would take me almost a year of receiving email (24x7) or 2.5 year of sending email to reach 1 Tb.
for this act see here 2002 Supplemental Appropriations Act for Further Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the Unites States (section 2008 on page 87)
you just might get it. For some cases they already have put it into law: section 2008 on page 87/107

There are no people alive without a head.

I hardly buy anything in the theater. You would think people would be able to survive without food for 90 minutes.
This isn't you by any chance?
The next thing they try to sell to you will be Tin Foil Hats

It is not a Time Award but a Rolex Award and indeed very old news (2000!).
