"Computer Scientists can count to 1024 on their fingers" (non-mutant, non-mutilatated, human computer scientists)
What about people with an extra finger? They can count to 2,048!!!!
Why can't computer scientists count with their fingers AND toes?? Then those limited to just 10 of each could still count to 1,048,576. Hopefully they're creative enough to think of that if they can think of counting to 1,024 with just their fingers!!!
Then, using grid computing, you could start getting classes of future computer scientist together. Start writing programs and have the fingers and toes (bits) put to good use and replace all that silicon!
This way, the silicon can be used for better purposes!!! (AKA Nip/Tuck)
Sounds like those who have a web site, even those with a small website, will be getting a bill from each provider that allows information from that page to pass to a user viewing that information?

Good way to get rid of those small, annoying web sites by charging them into oblivion. Right???
Loading software that can aid others in hiding nefarious programs (I know, just 1 small part of what the rootkit accomplishes) is sort of like...
I wanted to protect the money I deposited in my bank account by breaking in and taking my money from the bank's safe.
In both cases, there are side effects that should be frowned upon by law enforcement agencies.
Breaking/damaging the computer that the root kit is loaded on and weakening the security of the internet vs. damaging the safe and building in which the money is stored in.
Could just just imagine what life would be like today if the person who first thought to wipe his BUTTpatented the idea?
Keep this up and you'll need a lawyer, and a full time staff of research assistants to let you know if it's OK to click on a link to find out something you'd like to know!!
Tatoos and Piercings aren't the only body modifications I can think of!
I would think that some people in an IT office might think that male and female enhancements could be a bit of a distraction as well. Especially when a fellow worker ends up spending more time looking at said enhancement instead of looking at the speaker in a meeting, projector display for an important meeting, or a some other meeting that is crucial to meeting a customer's deadline!
The thing is, what will they go and download (as someone already mentioned, upload from your brain to computer) your brains to? If you have no control over where they put your deepest thoughts, you may end up being the brains behind a descendant of the ROOMBA!!!! (Now, make sure you come up with a good strategy for getting into every nook and cranny of the kitchen floor, will ya!!!
Redundant? before I started typing in this post, I checked to see what was already posted.
At that point, there was only 1 reply, and it had nothing to do with what I sent.
If you look, 5 minutes before the date stamp of my post, there was a post that also contained the word eclipse. I think I made a fair effort to make sure I was not REDUNDANT prior to sending my post.
What makes the location so important is that it is permanently lit, with a balmy -58 Fahrenheit (-50 C).
Permantently? Have you ever heard of an eclipse? They may not be THAT common, but I would think that the temperature would take a bit of a dip without sunlight, or an atmosphere!
Couldn't this be used to get rid of certain pollutants? If you have too much carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide, send it into the black hole! What would happen to nuclear wastes (please experiment carefully before proceeding with this whole-heartedly) if you "throw them in the hopper"?
Maybe you want a better, and possibly more humane way of getting rid of death row inmates? Throw them in, and poof!!!
The uses could be endless! But, like anything else, put in the wrong hands, the original subject applies.:(
But at least then, the rest of the universe can be happy to know that the contant drone of static will someday cease bombarding them from the radio waves and such that we have been sending out since early in the 20th Century!
Just imagine this as the lead story to the 11 o'clock news!
A beautiful woman gets a new phone, gets home and finds out she has to take a picture of herself to use it. Somehow, she waits until the next morning I know, I'm pushing reality!! and takes the picture before applying her makeup. She gets in the car, gets stuck on the side of the road, and tries to call her husband. Sorry guys, did you think the beautiful woman would still be available? Now, she tries to make a call, and the phone refuses to allow her access, since she doesn't look anything like she did before the makeup went on. If she comes to the conclusion that her makeup is the problem, she searches through her pocket book and finds the equipment she needs and takes off her makeup. She tries again and the phone allows access.
Of course, if this was an emergency, she'd be SOL!!!:)
Did anyone else come tho this conclusion, or is it just me?
Oh, BTW, I guess you know who I voted for?:(

Basically, you pinch their earlobe. This forces the blood out of the lobe, and then you let go. If colour returns to the lobe, then the heart is beating and blood has been pumped back in. If it does not then blood is no longer moving around the body.
Now, what would happen to the person who gets this no beat heart? Will the heart continue to operate (not beat as we already know) after the person dies? If so, this test would show that circulation is still taking place!!! The person wouldn't be breathing, so the ear may turn an odd shade of blue when blood returns to the ear. I think this would confuse the hell out of the person expecting the color to be more of a pink, huh?
Sorry for the morbidity of my further thoughts on this assumption:
Now, let's say that they determine that the guy with one of these hearts dies. If the heart just continues to operate, things could get
messy when he gets to the morgue! And the mortician may have some psychological problems after cutting open a dead person have having blood flow out of its body instead of just leak out since the artifical heart is still operating.
Absolutely,
We all know that the programmers and testers of
MS products goes through and bug-proofs their code
much better than Open-Source can ever hope.

Well, hopefully it means that the Democrats will come up with a strategy that takes advantage of the good parts of Dean's campaign, while leaving the incoherant yelling for George Company, Halliburton and Company.
I'm guessing that everyone cab guess how I'll vote in November!:)

How about Anna Nicole Smith or Pamela Sue Anderson or maybe Petra Verkaik? - NOTE: Petra last name might not be spelled correctly.
I'm sure either one could fill Wonder Woman's shoes admirably! :)

Bill Gates hoards Billions (yes with a "B") or dollars by selling his wares, and his users are left with empty pockets.
Linux users avoid giving to the hoard, so they have the money to pay for their children's vaccinations.
It sort of sounds like Bill Gates is supporting Socialized medicine via the Microsoft Name.
