Biological fact - the average man has a better heavy lifting capacity than the average woman. Biological fact - the average woman has a better multitasking capability than the average man.
I hate to shout here, but this really ticks me off. MEN AND WOMEN ARE PHYSICALLY DIFFERENT, MENTALLY DIFFERENT AND HAVE DIFFERENT SKILLS.
This means, for example, the average woman is usually better suited to work such as secretarial or workflow management than the average man. Likewise, the average man is better suited to be a construction worker than the average woman. There are many hundreds of thousands of exceptions, but saying all men and all women are entirely equal in all aspects is complete bullshit (Well, you said to call it).
Also, with national IDs, remember that the tag is likely to return no more data than a serial number. You then need access to the database to look up anything about the carrier.
That means the best you could do is work out that the same person is doing xyz, but not who it is. And if it's encrypted (SecurID make very slim cards which contain technology quite capable of this), there's even less risk because it won't return a sensible number, or even any number at all.
AJAX's place is definately on browsers - they are an application installed on most PCs which can interface with external servers using common, standard (In theory) methods. This gives me the ability to work in the same environment, with the same data, in different physical locations.
Yes, there are more permanent local applications which can do the same. I use Outlook 2003 and Exchange 2003. Outlook is a big powerful application which is installed locally and maintains its own copy of the data, but should I need to roam I can use Outlook Web Access (AJAX). Exchange Server does all the hard work of keeping things working on the same page.
This is an important point. An AJAX application will quite merrily send and recieve large quantities of data without you knowing - this is by design. It relies on being able to do things 'behind the user's back'.
Think of it this way - if you had a popup every time a local application wanted to communicate with the hard disk, how quickly would you become angry?

It was a statement though, so = is perfectly acceptable. Saying "its" == "it is" makes no sense, since you can't check for any kind of equality between them.
This may be the case with the USPS, but I know that Royal Mail (UK) are actually shockingly careful with packages classed as 'abnormal'. The automatic sorters can even tell when a standard size/thickness envelope contains something unbendable and deals with it accordingly.
That said, YMMV with the actual postman/woman who delivers it.
You missed the point there,.Mac iDisk is like a mounted network volume. No visible upload or download, files that are in it are just shared quickly and efficiently, and are backed up, and are available from all your machines, and it's treated as a physical disk by everything in OS X...
If you're like me and have a lot of data and PIM records to keep up to date between different locations and machines,.Mac is well worth $99 a year. For you, you may prefer to do everything manually but I am willing to pay for the time it saves me. YMMV.
If they combined it with a quality PIM manager on the handset, I would actually ditch my current primary machine and PDA in favour of an Apple solution, for the simple fact I would be 99.99% guaranteed it would work as expected, when expected, without bitching about conflicting updates or taking half an hour to sync properly.
Even better, give it an iSight camera and WiFi interface. If you can get on WiFi, you can use iChat on your phone handset. Or perhaps use your.mac account to automatically update iTunes/iCal/Mail as you roam around.
Integration like that would make me readily part with a lot of money.
Apple said whilst they wouldn't support Windows, they wouldn't specifically make it difficult for people. After all, you've already bought the hardware and the OS X licence, so where would the money be?
What I'd prefer is them to say that they wouldn't support OS X on a non-Mac machine, but should you happen to buy a licence for it then they wouldn't put anything in the way of installing it. But then their hardware profit margin vanishes, and they have a million and one combinations of hardware to test under.
MiniStore doesn't know the difference between bought and ripped music. Try renaming a track you bought on iTunes to a non-existant title and artist, and it won't find matches.
I'm more interested in them coming up with a proper universal PIM format..Mac is getting there, but still relies on visible syncing between devices. The closest I've seen at the moment is Exchange 2003 / Outlook 2003's "Offline Mode", although OSS alternatives (Must sync to Outlook, a web interface and my PDA) are welcome.
A PDA which bluetooths to your laptop or desktop would be far more useful to me (ie silently updates things), although docking into the laptop for charging is a neat idea. The 'external access' idea seems a bit of a waste of time, just carry around the PDA if you need the quick data. Rely on the wireless silent sync to keep them both on the same page.

MS may have earned a reputation for being insecure, no problem there. I evaluate it at the moment, and at the moment it's getting better. Linux may have earned a reputation for being awkward to use on a desktop. I evaluate it at the moment, and at the moment it's still a set of apps with no common standards held together by sticky tape and pipes.
This is probably/. suicide, but my IntelliMouse Optical does the job perfectly. Two side buttons, left and right click, and a clickable roller. It even works on sandwiches.
If you find yourself needing a 6 buttoned, a 4-way roller equipped, tilt sensor loaded, dual laser surface scanning, custom weighted hand cooling mouse then you are taking it too seriously.
I had some randomly bad RAM not long ago, and both Windows and Linux failed with it at totally unexpected times. It may be an application crash, or the whole system may go down hard. The day when software can ignore dodgy hardware is still a long way off, although it is getting better at spotting it (SMART for HDDs is wonderful, saved my data twice by warning my prior to a disk crash)
You may be looking at them, but you're still not moving towards them at anything like an appreciable fraction of the speed of light. Until then, black holes ain't gonna be a problem.
Besides, if you're moving fast enough for it to be a problem without ripping apart you can more or less treat the entire vessel as a single particle. If you get close to C, then your mass will be insanely high with enough energy to ignore most things.
As with all current or theoretical physics, your mileage may vary.

However, 2000 was a massive leap from NT4. We won't mention ME.
XP being built on the old NT base and ditching 9X was the best thing to happen to Windows in a long time.
So, 2000 is to NT4 as Vista is to XP? We can only hope.
