My school district uses the Mavis Beacon software. From what I remember, we're required to do it starting in Grade 2. I should note that I'm able to do the whole "quick brown fox" sentence blindfolded and type at 50wpm at last count.
I should point out quite a bit of the radiation has died down or been absorbed into the ecosystem. If you don't eat stuff you grow in your garden you should be fine.
Mass hypnosis, seizure delivery, broadcast of AYBABTU transmissions... it's more of a hazard to national security than a help.
I would switch over to Linux or a variant thereof

but TransGaming is too focused on FPS eye-candy to get the only three games I play (Simcity 4: Rush Hour, C&C Generals: Zero Hour, Monopoly Tycoon) to run under their software.
Gaming is my prime reason for having a PC (and don't tell me to get a console, RTS and simulations, two mouse-requiring genres, don't do well on consoles and I have to step over my brother to get my console of choice, a Gamecube)
However, Linux stability is a nice feature. But Windows 98SE hasn't let me down too much. Heck, most of my system problems are my BIOS registering an improper speed setting and hanging on restart or not detecting the hard drive.
One of their employees offered to rent me several river crossings in metropolitan New York. He also offered a treasure map and the secret to eternal life too, but the installment plan was a bitch so I turned him down.
I wouldn't be using Windows if my games were supported on another system. But the reason my games won't run on another OS even with emulation is DirectX. Look where "embrace, extend, and extinguish" has gotten us now.
I remember saying to myself "If I had a nickel for every bug in (insert program name) I'd be rich". Remember, when you don't act on your ideas and file a patent, THIS happens.
But I should tell MS to implement this idea. Note going broke should be a good motivation to fix their own security flaws.

C&C Generals: Zero Hour
Monopoly Tycoon
Frankly, these three games still have a somewhat decent amount of players and there's no excuse not to get them running in WINEX. Not all people like FPS's, Warcraft III and Everquest.
When they come out with these bolts and try to force you to use their dealers for maintenance, some guy's gonna make a virus to disable the mechanism and allow everybody to do their own repairs. Sure, it's not kosher DMCA-wise, but who gives a damn about the DMCA?
In the organization, we're all SOMEBODY's superior (unless you're an intern, then you're kinda screwed). This sets the precedent that most any employee that has a position of power has a right to slack off, and if anyone wants to interfere with the slacking, they're out panhandling the next day.
Could a hacker crash the system and therefore put the city in chaos? Or could terrorists connect bombs that operate based on the network?
Either way, we're only about 3 years from the invention of PET (cookies if you get this).

There's massive amounts of untapped fuel under most cemeteries in the form of human flesh. It's doing nothing but rotting there, why not put it to good use as a fuel/energy source?
MSN Search is for the people who don't change their IE start page (if they use IE at all), or people that entered mistyped domains that haven't been taken by the cybersquatters and porn redirectors.
Yahoo! is used by Joe Surfer for ease of use. I use Yahoo! Mail and Briefcase for homework, but I personally prefer Google as a search engine.
Google is used by the web-surfers who know what they're doing and want to find what they're looking for.
Everything else (Excite, Lycos) is just niche surfing.
BSE is dangerous, even if it doesn't effect anybody. The fear caused by it can devestate beef-based economies. If you've seen what's happened to Alberta during the recent BSE scare, you'll see what can happen when something is blown out of proportion.
What I truly fear is that someone gets a hold of this, infiltrates another country's beef supply, and sticks a couple cows with it. The end result: an economic crash.

I saw this article on the CBC show "Marketplace". Pretty interesting stuff. Maybe I should pop open our 99 Malibu to see if ours has one.

"Circumvention of copy-protection measures" translates to "circumvention of price-fixing measures" in SlashSpeak.

Microsoft is more important because Microsoft has more money. And if you do not agree Microsoft can buy your life out from under you.
