Companies are required to allow service dogs. It's a reasonable accomodation, as per ADA and sections 504 and 508. US law, at least; I imagine it's similar in most western countries.
I like dogs. But it'd only work in a really small office; otherwise, some idiot is eventually going to bring in that annoying shih tzu or creepy rotweiler.
Doesn't rival us, but they have nukes, and enough other tech to make us very unhappy. If the Iraqi resistance (for lack of a better word) could nuke or use conventional missiles against US cities, do you think we'd still be in Iraq?
Last I checked, bowling balls weight 8-16 pounds. Maybe a little more or less, but not 44 lbs. It will splatter someone really well, though... a heck of a lot worse than it did in Flubber;-)
Ignoring good/evil, it would be Sauron or Saruman, as the superpowers, that would have these. From their point of view, the Fellowship are guerillas - or even terrorists.
I think we'd be likely to let them have Taiwan. Yeah, we have a treaty, but we probably wouldn't mind breaking it to avert war.
Even if we did go to war, y'think the war would be over in a year? Against a country as large and technically developed as China? Nah, there'd be time for the railguns to come in.
Cheaper than missiles. The ammo is smaller, so more can be carried. And since it's a kinetic, non-incendiary (non explosive) weapon, there's less to worry about as far as storing them:
"Captain! They've hit our ammo storage!" "Not to worry, it may be damaged, but at least the rest of the ship won't be destroyed."
PageRank is well documented. It's not a neural net. I heard someone say that it's a 12 line perl script, but it's well-publicized that it's python. Might be 12 lines, though. 12 lines and a hell of a lot of data...
Releasing the page rank formula would allow microsoft/yahoo/inktomi to create their own uber-search engines. But those companies have very different visions w.r.t. what makes a "good" feature. Google's tangible value is in Page Rank; while the sparsity of its pages makes it aesthetic and simple to use, that may not be enough to keep it alive.
OTOH, I would love to be able to play around with GMail's source code. And they could probably release code for, say, GoogleGroups, although I'm not sure why they'd want to or why I'd care.
Maybe the Miranda warning needs to be rephrased; technically, the Constitution only grants the right not to incriminate yourself (although that's an interesting idea; couldn't it be argued that if the only way to remain silent is if you'd incriminate yourself by speaking, and you invoked that right, you're incriminating yourself?).
And if it's the Miranda warning we're going off of, they don't have to give you that 'till they arrest you.
I'd suggest Open Office. If you're on a dialup, and don't want to install several hundred megs, then look at the google cache - it'll have an HTML-ized version.
If you don't like it, don't upgrade. You're not locked in to one version of text files like you would be locked into a specific version of.doc files with Word.
<sarcasm>Or you could always write a patch; you have the source code.</sarcasm>
In reply to your sig (yeah, yeah, offtopic, I've got karma to burn) Safari works in GMail. I haven't tried Opera, but it probably works by now. Even if the page says it doesn't, click the "log in anyway" link and give it a shot!
Mr. BOFH, sir? Could you help me please (quiver)? I shut my laptop down and left it in the conference room/lobby/office/whatever while I went to the bathroom, and now it's gone.
Nah. Give him some choice, at least; his middle name can be Dick (there's a few other options I can think of), and his first name can be anything beginning with A, as long has he only uses his first name's initial.
You're not familiar with Real, are you? If they're saying it's 600 kbps, then each frame will consist of one frame plus (600 Kb - one frame) worth of DRM, ads, spyware, viruses, just-plain-crappy-broken-software and error messages.

I believe it's also faster than Tomahawk missiles.

It arcs. It's a projectile.

They did that once before. Used FreeBSD servers to run [H|N]otMail.

I don't get it ... I mean, I understand X-box=='X' and Gamecube==square, but why PS2==triangle?

Who is SWMBO?
Are you familiar with the Pornzilla project?

Not their fault, just that I can't use it. And I tried Helix, and it's a buggy, stuttery piece of crap.
I always thought it was http://slashdot.org. Yours won't even resolve (no dot between the www and the slashdot? horrors!)

And I still can't get the friggin gxine/Mozilla plugin to work for *any* codec, much less Real (which should work automagically, once gxine works).
