Well, why not get this grafted into your arm? Just look at your wrist and see the time.
Unfortunately, this could lead to your damnation if you put it on the back of your right hand and you're alive during the end times and you're not a christian before the rapture and it says 6:66 because.. uh... the antichrist likes metric time?
That's because the goverment has more customers than any other corporation I can imagine. Remember as well that there were not always calculators and computers. Before a computing machine was created, it would've been terriby impractical for the government to try to do all that work. So what did they do? They distributed it, of course, to the people. So now, instead of doing all the math, they only have to recheck forms that smell fishy.
As far as projectile wounds go, this is a pretty merciful instant death. I'd much rather be vaporized in a second than slowly bleed to death after getting shot in the stomach. True, the chance for survival goes down, but police are trained to shoot to kill anyway.
Yes, but is it not possible that the other comment wasn't on the page yet when he submitted his? I mean, by punished the first repititon of a particular comment it then becomes risky to say anything! What if someone else just said that +5 insightful nugget! Then you'll get -1, redundant. Better keep that possibly repetitive comment to yourself.
The mod guidelines say you should concentrate on modding UP for just this reason.
That hard drive is a bottleneck. 60GB??? I went to Fry's on saturday (major computer retailer in CA and a few other states) and got a Western Digital 80BG for $70 with $50 in rebates. It was the smalles WD HDD they had. So your 1337 laptop has less storage than the bargain desktop drive.
Sure, laptops are getting pretty great. But that's far, far less than you'd get in a $1350 laptop.
He's not talking about setting up potentially dangerous structures, though. He's talking about management of the farmer's own land. The consequence of the farm failing is Farmer Brown's financial ruin, but Granny Smith and Joe Sixpack survive just fine if they rotate their crops. When it comes to public buildings, regulation makes sense (to a degree, anyway). But this is private use of private land!
Now that the series is popular, why doesn't he go ahead and sign for the next season? I'm sure he could get a bigger paycheck this time. Poor sci-fi gets no respect from actors and actresses... sheesh.
Because this isn't about protecting your individual computer, it's more as a start into bigger and better things. Eventually, someone has to WRITE the firewall and anti-virus.
Also, it uses a live linux cd to teach. You're doing kids a huge favor by teaching linux and linux security in class, and not just telling them to pony up money every year for resource-eating software that doesn't always solve the problem!
See, they were trying to inbreed sharks to get a Golden Shark. You have to breed like a black shark and a green shark, but sometimes, because of the constant inbreeding, you get a redarded white one.

Toggle between Photoshop, Excel and "Counter-Strike," for example, and the Ergodex DX1 software automatically shifts the keys' profiles as you go.
Heh. Sounds like they have an instant alt+tab macro for work in mind.
Yes. It responds to the audio command "Aibotron, TERRORIZE!"
I just want a robot dog with frickin lasers strapped to his head.
AIBO! SICK 'EM!

In Red China there is no virtual property.
Mostly because in communism the government owns everything, har har.
All seven of them.
Google'd get all the "in soviet russia" jokes anyone could ever want, though.
Aye, but sometimes 'wasteful' diversions like that make life worth living.
Nor can they hear it.
But he only has to be hiding in the soup can for a few 10 billionths of a second!!! Think of the applications!!
...well, for one round.
I agree. Weapons are tools, they're only as good or evil as the one that holds them.
On the other hand, if you get a new hammer, you'll be on the lookout for nails.
Too bad it's hard to stuff a vaporized squirrel.

Size doesn't matter; it's all in how you use it.

One part of the article that I think many slashdot readers will find interesting is near the bottom:
