Reasoning works with most people. Those willing to strap bombs to their bodies or run airplanes into the ground don't fall into that catagory. You need to trump "God said to do it" in your debate; just a bit tricky (though in some cases finding 71 available virgins may do the trick)
Indeed! Apple DRM, MS DRM, its all the same really. Someone will crack it, that someone or their supporters will get sued, and you're left with a stack of files bound to a couple of machines. Even the GUIs are irritating; an overly heavy skinned app on one hand (its a media player folks, you're listening not looking) and a web interface driven by the incredibly insecure and incompatible COM.
Or you can get the original off eBay for arounf $5-10. With $50 to ship that cast-iron beast, of course. Not that heavy steel is a bad material for a keyboard; I don't know of too many people who have had to buy a replacement.
Good luck getting it for free. Seeings as the IOC cracks down on pretty much anything related in any way to the games, I doubt they'd let slo-mo footage out without a fee.
This would actually be an interesting computer vision project; we can detect facial patterns from video, why not levels of attractiveness? Take the guesswork out; guys want a number on the new girl, just run a picture through the computer!
At some point in the first season, there's a whole scene about Picard trying to get a decent cup of tea from the replicator. The 'hot' bit is *very* critical.
This is actually a thought, if the cover of the passport were made of one of the many frequency-selective materials that have been developed. If you could only read the thing when its open, its a lot harder to sniff in a crowd.
Yes, we should vote out the guy who signed the Patriot Act and launched us into war in Iraq, replacing him with the guy who voted in favor of the Patriot Act and approved going to war in Iraq. A brilliant plan!
True, you can detect an odometer that has been run backward. However, I'm not aware of a technology that has an inifite range; at some point all counters will roll. Even a 10-digit counter will succumb after a bit of beeing hooked up to a power drill geared for speed. Some quick calculations: if you spin the odometer on a 5000rpm shaft, you accumulate around 17800 miles per day. You have to get into the range of more than 50 digits before it takes an appreciable amount of time to roll your odometer.
I thought this too. Yet my family insists on turning all the thermostats in the house to 'off' in the summer, even though they will automatically keep the heat off until needed (oddly cold mornings are a real pain; be nice to have a device to turn the heat on for me when that happens).
Interesting... I would have thought Pan-American would be a trademark of the airline by that name. I knew there was a reason they haven't been able to afford any new planes since the 727 came out...
For PPC to be accepted, they must emulate the norm (IA32) as well as the originator of the norm, and then diverge doing something so revolutionary that people want to switch over. This is what AMD did, and now they are an actual player. They made really good copies of Pentiums, and then came out with their 64-bit extensions. Intel did the following and emulating in that move.
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure no one is going to shoot me, deny me employment, or imprison my family if I don't vote Republican this year. In fact, about 50% of the populace didn't last time, and nothing bad happened to them. In Iraq, however, that 1% is slowly being uncovered from the sand by US forces.
As for inciting a large portion of the populace to not go to work, I'm guessing that the government wouldn't need to do anything. The populace needs the products and services of the economy a lot more than the government does (at least in the short term; the average person doesn't have a survival shelter stockpiled with necessities). After a while, they'd just go back to work, figuring its really not worth it. Besides, you're talking no more than 50% of the population tops anyway, probably less.

'Ouija' is great for either bringing some vowels into play to get the game moving, or to tick off people hunting for vowels by sticking them somewhere inaccessible.
This is what EZ-Pass users in New Jersey told themselves, up until the day that they got tickets for passing between EZ-Pass receivers faster than the system deemed legal. No one had actually *seen* them so anything, but a set of people was generated from data nonetheless. If there is a database of everything you've ever done, you'll sure as shooting come up in queries for random things that you didn't even think about at the time (and may have not even been illegal - at the time).
First, you're protesting the outcome of an election... bad start. Generally even semi-democratic processes are better than coups.
As for refusing to work, this may be doable in some areas, but for a great portion of the populace that relies on public services for water and power, the government is in a water-monopoly position (rebellions lasting 3 days tops are easy to deal with)

So what we really need to do is fill the reelection coffers with money made selling bootleg movies we got off KaZaA ...

I use my WMDs as end tables in my living room?
But surely we can define some quanities to measure? For example, breast size, hip/waist/chest ratio, height/width ratio, etc.

There was also an ongoing gag between Arthur and the computer to get a cup of tea that actually tasted like tea, yes.

If you have to patent your ethics laws, you've already lost.

Hopefully it will crash frequently enough that anyone trying to grab my data will be foiled :)
Our military, by using advanced tools like this, is able to ensure that you don't need to simulate peace in Hippieville.

I think I'll just leave the device in my garage, which I wallpapered with heavy duty tinfoil.

This brings up an interesting point: can you change the battery in the camera, or are you all done when it runs out?
