Hopefully negligable, since you need tke key generator AND your username AND your password. If you're stupid enough to let people know your bank access details and then lose the key generator, more fool you.
Having an entire wall as a touchscreen would be ideal for police for example (ala Minority Report). Having worked with data organisation and cross-referencing I can say that the ability to view all the data at once in at a sensible scale, combined with the ability to 'save' an entire wall's work whilst you check something else, videos, real-time info etc. would be absolutely invaluable.
I'm sure that most countries would disagree with "The American Way" being the only alternative to communism. How about the British way? Or Australian way? French? German?
This also occurs with my XP box, as of Firefox patch 1.0.7. I strictly control all patches on my network through a WSUS server, and some testing on a 2nd machine makes it look like an issue with 1.0.7 rather than any MS issue.
No, but the people have places to be so that they don't end up causing chaos.
Someone dictates that people walk along a pavement, and vehicles move on the correct side of the road. Removing this dictation is likely to end up with 18 wheelers hitting each other at 55mph. In countries with a sane speed limit, like the UK, this means 18 wheelers hitting each other at 70mph.
It's not just common sense, it's regulated for a reason. Radio spectrum is regulated for a similar reason - so that radio stations don't clash. It's bad enough driving across the states and trying to keep one station as it is, imagine how bad it would be with 20+ competing stations on the same frequency within one city.
Unless (And here's a new one) MS Office can prove to be a more useful application without reverting to proprietary document features. Integration with SharePoint/Outlook/Exchange, if done well whilst following OpenDoc format for the actual file saving, is still a big bonus which OSS can't come close to at the moment.
Apple integrated it and made it easy to use. Ever tried syncing using Windows Media Player? I would rather copy every one of my 3754 tracks over manually, including creating the folder structure.
Thereby forcing people on IPv4 to implement tunnelling, or upgrade to IPv6 equipment/software.
All it takes is a couple of big carriers to go IPv6 and the rest will fall into place through necessity. That which simply cannot will be assimilated using IPv6's backwards compatability.
Not to mention the total lack of powerful enterprise PIMs for anything other than Windows.
I still stick with Mac for Home, Windows for Corporate, n*x for Servers. The platforms are more or less fine for each aspect, all we need is all three communities to stop bitching about each other and just write some proper data standards. Yes, open source creates the accessible standards but that doesn't mean you can only use FOSS.
There is no need to reclaim old IP space allocations. If people request new IPv4 addresses, simply fob them off and tell them to use IPv6. Harsh but effective.
As a staffer for a major modding website, I can say that whilst RDKF's distribution is an excellent example of how to get indie games out there, a lot of work still has to be done. For example, there is no way the game is worth $14.
Despite this, the new version of Steam (The distribution platform used) is meant to include support for third-party mod distribution via. an integrated interface which effectively solves advertising problems. If Valve and indie developers get their act together, Steam can do advertising and distribution in one. Just make sure it is priced right bearing in mind the fact that the distribution costs are far less than through physical media.
The reason goes back to the days of knights on horseback. If you pass on the right, you are in a bad position to attack people. It was therefore a simple matter of 'good form'. At least that's what history lessons tell me, YMMV.
As for why some countries now pass on the left, I don't have a clue.
I have yet to meet a front door lock which cannot be circumvented. Crowbar usually works quite well, failing that a battering ram, and if nothing else works just go through the windows instead.
"Properly redundant RAID array" would be fine though, since RAID is the technology. It's like "ASP Page" actually turns into "Active Server Pages Page", but that's OK because RAID is only the technology.
As long as the protocol itself is capable of doing everything useful (Voice, video, file transfer etc.) all other clients can do at the moment, bar the incredibly annoying "Nudge". That way in a transitory period you could have 'relays' which turn MSN protocol into Generic protocol, without losing anything mid-transaction.
If the business on the far end had bothered to set up their PayPal correctly, they would be able to accept credit card payments without the person on the far end needing to sign up for a full PayPal account (although the option is there). Admittedly the cost of the CC transfer is higher than *most* straight merchant accounts with major banks, but it's just as convenient as using WorldPay, and only one page more than an extremely cut-down SSL e-payment system running on my own server.
It still doesn't solve the problem of needing a zone where the car can slow down in order to exit without slowing the rest of the lane. What you are suggesting is either putting the auto lane on the inside, which means manual traffic will need to cross it, or building a whole new lane with dedicated ramps etc.
The trouble is, how would you merge? You would need to be driving alongside the auto lane on manual as you switched to automatic, which then leaves the car the decidedly tricky job of working out *exactly* how to get from what you were doing to what it should be doing without damaging anything in the automatic lane, or accelerating into the back of the car in front of you. Merging out would be even worse, since you would be coming off a fully automatic lane at say 100mph, into a flow of manual traffic. The whole system would need to work out where other cars were which may not have a transponder *before* trying to merge into the side of them.
The only solution I can think of, at least initially, is to have 'transfer' lanes which you will merge into manually, then the system will take over control and move you into the next free space in the fully automatic lane. If you say the only cars permitted in the transfer lane are transponder equipped cars, at least you stand a chance of knowing where they are and how fast they are moving. This also allows for the possibility of merging you out of the fully automatic lane and then slowing you down before handing control over without slowing down the 'fast' lane.
Probably, unless (and this is going out on a limb here) the floor of the warehouse has 'sockets' at regular intervals into which the feet of a PExS can fit. An ideal location would be loading bays, so that forklifts or other warehouse systems can move crates to the bay, then a human with his exoskeleton attached to the floor would have a solid base to move objects from, as well as finer control offered by the fact he is within the suit himself.
Either that or big electromagnets in the feet. Alternatively they could all make like clowns and have oversized feet.

Photo Camera, not Cameraphone.
Most cameras still use CF.

Forever.
The cookie they set expires in 2038 or something like that, the exact date escapes me.

iTunes and iPod is easy. That's why it's winning.
Realistically, if you were using Flash drives as your system volume, you'd want at least 4gb to deal with swap files, /temp etc. (Varying by OS)

Easy. Shuffle with a colour OLED strip down the side so you can see what you're playing, as well as select tracks.

Depends on the weapon. A musket ball works quite nicely though - a musket ball to the shoulder will quite easily remove your arm.
