Any archeologists today worth their salt who discover old (Medieval) Christian burials will open them, learn about the person, then make sure they are properly re-interred.
You're missing the existing reputation, installed base and community that comes with JBoss. Perhaps a more valid comparison would be development, marketing, getting installed customer base, developing good reputation, building strong community > $400m. Some things are priceless. For everything else, there's MasterCard.
Games aside, the consoles themselves are needing a bit of (physical) work to reach family living room status. Perhaps releasing a 'gamer' edition with all the sleek curves, and then a 'standard' edition which is actually the same size as every other component in a media system and will fit in a cabinet with them?
Knowing Apple it will sync elegantly and seamlessly with my desktop, even using.Mac to keep everything in harmony when I'm away from base. Bluetooth will mean I only need to walk near my desktop and it syncs. I will be able to use it as an extension of iLife when connected to the internet, using.Mac and WiFi to seamlessly pull photos and audio over the internet.
Dream-sounding I know. But nobody else has even managed to get MP3s syncing sensibly, so if anybody can do it Apple can.
Try a mousemat with a wristrest. My hands are reasonably large, and I've found that if I get acceleration and sensitivity right I can reach my entire screen without needing to lift my wrist at all. Wish I could say the same for my keyboard, bloody RSI...
And yet people like you complain about those who don't keep their PC patched?
You have two choices:
Make things easy for some who can't remember some cryptic command to download source, compile, install, patch, re-patch, re-re-patch, change the config, find it was the wrong config, hunt for the config, change the config, find they have to re-compile, re-compile, re-install, re-re-re-patch and finally use.
It is improving though. Mostly it's down to applications not liking running non-admin. Office and IE work perfectly in non-admin, the issue arises from things like games insisting on admin. I have yet to work out why The Sims 2 needs admin access to operate, install I can deal with.

Your rank in Google for any particular search is based primarily on how many people link to your site using specific words. If you have those words in your meta tags it helps Google decide what searches you appear on, but doesn't help boost your pagerank much.
As with many things, the more expensive cameras have far chunkier buffers. There is really no other way to speed up 'write' time (Viewed as the time between taking one shot and when you can take the next) than bigger buffers or an inherently different type of memory.
That said, my (very) old digital camera taking photos at 320x240 (Maximum resolution) was shit fast.
Much as this is a nice idea, what you search for is fed into some quite complex algorithms to determine what people are likely to be looking for. If you have an application feeding Google or any other engine a load of irrelevant searches then they lose their ability to improve search results based on pattern matching.
Blazing through in-game menus. Natural Selection would be ideal, for example.
Say you're commander, you could have a control tree with up to three items per branch. Icons to show what you're selecting appear on the keyboard so if you get lost in a menu (As I've done using numpad re-assign scrips) it's not a major task to get back to what you intended to do.
Example from experience here - Darwinia. I would never have bought it boxed-copy unless I saw it in a bargain bin whilst wandering, because of the time and effort taken to find and buy it on top of the cost. Steam made it available far faster, for less money. I bought it, and it gave me many hours of entertaining gameplay.
Windows XP Media Edition, XP Media Connect, XBox 360, and several 3rd-party gizmos, linked with portable players, and powered by Windows Media DRM and sync technology. I don't care if I paid £0.79 for a track if it's 'just there' on everything.
Apple need to get their Video AirPort sorted to keep competition for this 'unified media' thing alive. I personally think Apple have the upper hand, since one of their strong points is making things just work.
I was part of a design team for a mod (Now sadly vanished), and the amount of implementation such a system would have needed was beyond phenominal. It was literally a case of "There is only x amount of material y in the world. If item z takes amount w, then the world has x-w of that material left". If you killed a creature, you would only get appropriate resources for that creature. (Flesh, bone, hide etc).
It was even down to the level of specifying how much of one material an NPC would have taken from the world's stock for his own clothing or residence. Nothing could be removed from the world, so if you killed something and abandoned the corpse it would have to have the flesh degraded into soil-based nutrients over time. Again, this was handled by another function for how much bacteria was around based on the local conditions.
The biggest pain in the arse was designing currency. In order to match with the rest of the system, it had to be 'tangible'. The 'coins' were nothing more than set quantities of 'world' gold and nickel run through an NPC manufacture process, but the entire concept of value of them had to be based off a central stock of goods.
This is what MMORPGs need. You shouldn't just be able to kill unlimited creatures and sell their hides for cash, because there is only a set quantity of material around to make those creatures. Kill too many, they become extinct.
Just shove a port open request through UPnP. Works fine for P2P apps, and a few pieces of IM software. Azureus for BitTorrent does it quite nicely. Haven't yet seen a game do it though, anybody know of one?

Transferable ownership keys. Now there's an idea.
And how do you propose to steer whilst watching this DVD? Just out of professional interest.
Not on my lap they're not. I need those bits in later life! (Cue obligatory comments re /. and girlfriend)

It's a holographic projection of an image taken with stereoscopic cameras? The article was a bit short on details.
Whiskey looks just like cold tea, hence the grandparent becomes "whiskey coloured whiskey", or just whiskey.

Umm, it's likely to just de-orbit and burn up within a few days to a couple of weeks. It's hardly going to sit there forever is it?
Perhaps what would be more useful to the world is an 'anti-wired' bathroom which features radio jammers for things like cellphones and WiFi.

And not just Google. A properly formed robots.txt will let any search engine worth its salt know how you want the site to be treated.

Actually, Sea Monkeys are a specific brand of these brine shrimp, designed to be easy to set up and feed and stuff.

I thought it was just me who got this one...

I'm currently sitting a CCNA, and there's no module on Mushrooms. Might be in the midterm though.
