Come on its a perfect match. The future of all commerce is on the internet.
What other service should the CIA use to sell surplus weapons/aircraft/ships, information, and drugs to extremist/rebel/etc factions around the world? I mean they certainly can't be seen selling them directly. And who would ever suspect that eddieguns4056 sale of 200,000 AK-47s could possibly have anything to do with the CIA.
And anyway using Nick Cage to do it is sooooo 1990's
You pay comcast to spy on you. Then you pay the government to get the information from comcast, so that they can take away our rights to not be spied on.
Maybe we should cutout the middleman. Comcast can discount their fees, and then the government can pay us to spy on ourselves.

Most Thermostats are either a bi-coil that moves a mercury switch, or a digital RTD, both which would not survive the conditions in space. The balloon would be nice if the latex didn't change elasticity with temperature...and how are you going to read the pressure differences. And of course off the shelf batteries would boil in the heat of the sun, and freeze on the cold side of the craft.
Sorry but this article is a stupid attempt to show how the cutting edge of science 50 years ago is commonplace by today's standards. And really we all knew that already.
Now create a micro-controller that does the same thing as sputnik I, and it might be worth reading. Make that the size of an aspirin tablet, and you'd have something thats news worthy.
The light from the sun is surprisingly effective at heating one half of the spacecraft. But yes most likely consumer electronics would fry and freeze repeatedly, making them very useless regardless of the fan's existence.
Oh yeah that internet is sooo much less energy efficent then the manufacture, packaging, storage, shipping, and retail outlets, etc for billions of CDs and DVDs. Oh don't forget to count millions of little spinning DC motors, actuators, signal amplifiers, and laser diodes.
Satire is legal as long as it does not cause confusion about which one is real or official.
So the only way Jack Thompson can win is by proving that the public will mistake his satirized image as being an official endorsement, or assume that GTA is a legitimate competition to his established legal or speaking career (Which I would feel sorry for the fool who assumes GTA would be a good source for real legal advice).
So the FCC is insisting that all OTA broadcasts are digital by midnight on Feb 17 2009. They are so confident in this deadline that they are already selling off the spectrum used by analog TV.
But now cable providers are required to provide SD, signals to analog sets till 2012? Isn't this now an unfair double-standard?
I knew I saw this back in around 2000/2001. Talk about a dupe...news of another city deploying GPSs, or tower tracking, in phones for traffic monitoring has made slashdot almost every year since the first NextTel phones had GPSs in them.
Strange since HD-DVD/DVD hybrids already exist, yet I don't know of any bluray/DVD hybrids... so I'd say the advantage goes to HD-DVD on this.
Pretty much every Blu-Ray player out there is a DVD/CD Hybrids, and many do DVD upscaling as well. e.g. Samsung BD-P1200, Samsung BD-P1000, Sony BDP-S300, Sony BDP-S301, Philips BDP9000, Pioneer BDP-94HD, LG BH100
Also Lite-On's, Plextor's Drives support burning Blu-Ray, DVD +/-, DVD-RW, CD-R, etc...
Yes but your data will face mirror images that are not it's own. It will find itself driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. Its only guide on this journey will be Al.
Slashdot users around the world this week began an all-out push for the power to tax stupid statements made by Senators and other government officials. A new revolt post would usher in Stupid taxes, and the Federation of Independent Internet Users (representing all users everywhere) advised senators at a hearing on Wednesday to issue a temporary moratorium on being idiots. One irked Republican senator warned that unless this tax is repealed, we could start seeing government progress and efficiency by the end of the year.

Does this involve the VMO (vomeronasal organ), which allows mice to detect pheromones, or is it a different olfactory structure?
If so, it not only stops mice from fearing cats, but also makes them GLBT
Don't worry the Aussies are working on a thunderdome module to go up in a few years.
MOTHER:
Oh, sure, with a box like that, they could read the FBI's mail.
WHISTLER:
Or the CIA's. Or the White House's!
CREASE:
No wonder they don't want to share with the other children.

Don't you just hate it when the internet wraps onto the ceiling. All those packets are horrible on the acoustic tiles.
And once it gets up there you know its going to be hard to get it back down.
Exactly why our friends over at Pfizer created Exubera.
Why sell insulin in a competitive market when you can get government protected monopoly.
For Porn!
Why you think the matrix was born?
Porn porn porn!

I swear for the past several years google has been taking its product strategy right out of the pages of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
I call dibs on creating the black sun.
