What people haven't realised when making these predictions is that printing technology would evolve in similar fashion and at similar rate as computing.
I think these type of weapons should be renamed "semi-lethal". This would not only end the confusion, but also promote the correct use for such weapons i.e. when the only other alternative is to use real guns.
They use quick pulses of UV to ionise the air. These are not gamma rays. You probably won't get irradiated with given the exposure time or even sunburnt. Some people like stay in direct sun for fucking hours on end, and they don't give a fuck. Stupid.

Now, I could certainly do all this analysis and report generation by piping the plaintext CSV data using bash, sed, grep, wc, gnuplot, latex, etc. but to say it's bloody tedious is an understatement. I know this because I've done it.
No you wouldn't. This is stupid. This is exactly why perl and other scripting languages were created. The point of Unix philosophy is using the right tool for the right job. What you've described are definitely not the right tools, at least some of them are not.
I'm not disputing the benefits of OOP. OOP is very useful, even in scripting. I think what microsoft has done with COM is created a standard OO API for all the languages to use. This trend continues with.NET. This could never happen with Unix. Unix has millions APIs some OOP, some are not, some are C libraries, some are C++ class libraries and of course some are language specific APIs, like CPAN. This is the nature of Unix: you cannot have a single standard in Unix.

Perl + CPAN/Python/Ruby available on UNIX (and Windows) now.

I've done each of those in bash and in WSH and I infinitely prefer the latter.
There's just as many examples where I'd prefer bash over WSH. Then again I'd prefer almost anything to WSH. The UNIX equivalent of the scripting object you're reffering to is called CPAN.
Perl + CPAN is UNIX's answer to WSH. (Or should that be the other way round.)
WSH should be compared to Perl/Python/Ruby. cmd.exe should be compared to bash.
..but the setup of various components can be... trying at times
...only for thick people.
Seroiusly though, buy only supported hardware. When you buy a Mac, you don't expect for all your existing PC peripherals to work with it. Same goes for Linux. Check to see what is supported. That's all there is to it.
What really gets me are all these whiny posts, "I installed Linux and now my camera's not working and my scanner's not working and blah blah bla..." - Get a clue, kids!

Makes sense!

not so elusive it would seem.

er.. ...those people are. Not you, ofcourse ;)

heh. good one.

So, ehm.. did he have to do a mambo to refute the allegations?

WTF are you on about? Seems like a regular comment to me.
The real question is, why is it on Slashdot?
This just proves the generic lack of artistic tendencies among geeks/thinking types.
Are you being sarcastic?
