I first saw one of these at the Argent hotel in San Francisco. I can't say I felt that the Ipod was useful, but they did have wireless cards and some other hardware that you might need if trying to get ready for a demo the next day.
When I first read the article I thought this was a new Python Skit. It sure seems like it. A few tweaks and it would probably be appropriate. Obviously the skit would take things to the logical conclusion of destroying civilization.
The US Government probably said something along the lines of "We're questioning your actions in China. But if you were to turn over all that search information we want (and keep doing it) we might be convinced to ask fewer questions."
Usually you tell the marking service how deep you're going to be digging. For most jobs they'll mark everything since the stuff isn't buried too deep.
For a lot of the "middle of nowhere" fiber feeds they bury them at least 6' (2M) deep. An electrical contractor friend of mine was doing a job "just north of middle of nowhere." He'd had the major fiber carrier in the area come out and mark where the bundle was buried. And they assured him it was 6' down -- which worked since he was only digging down about 4'. He tore the cable apart with the backhoe at 3'. The original contractor that had laid the fiber cable hadn't buried it to spec. The marked path of the cable was right on though.
You might check with Dr. Kersten and his company http://despair.com/ -- he has lots of suggestions. Your conference room might benefit from a few of these lithographs.
Game manufacturers stop selling older titles. If I want to purchase one how am I supposed to do that without buying a used title from someone else?
If they want these new laws maybe there should be some more laws created that force them to keep every title they've ever produced available for purchase.
If they claim to be "licensing" the games instead of "selling" them won't there be consequences? The tax laws are different since the company still "owns" the product. Also there should be more warranty -- if the media (cd/dvd/whatever) gets scratched the company should have to replace it (since I've purchased the right to use the product).
You seem to be forgetting that Sony has a lot more money to buy off people in the Congress. So they have "friends" like Orrin Hatch to look out for them.
I wonder if Orrin's CDs are released with this kind of DRM. I assume his CDs also have the ability to destroy your computer if it thinks you are copying his music.
I had several bad experiences with netsol. A friend suggested mapname.com. After some investigation I transferred my domains over.
It is amazing how many warnings you get from them as your domain names get close to expiring. They start warning you months before it expires and fairly frequently as the expiration date gets close.
The guys that run it are responsive and actually take tech support seriously.
There is usually some kind of sale going on, and you can also buy multiple "credits" at a discounted price.
So will there be maps/sat images released for the Moon and Mars? Seems like there is enough imagery available from the various probes to put together at least localized areas for topo and sat images.
Not a lot of roads up there unless you apply the definition of "someone drove over it once". Then there are several roads left by various probes.
Let's not forget the legal costs here. He'll need a fulltime team of lawyers.
- copyright/trademark infringement (obvious) - *BIFF* *BAM* *POW* must all have TM after 'em
- defense attorneys to get him out of jail/represent him for all of his speeding tickets
- civil attorneys to handle all the lawsuits from the criminals he "wrongly assaulted"
- insert obvious comments about riaa/mpaa/gitmo
Next time I do product capture/scheduling (like in the Extreme Programming style) I'll try and use lots of colored postits and make pretty pictures like this.
Since management never seems to care about the realities involved in planning/scheduling, maybe they'll appreciate pretty pictures.
The cubicle in the Capital One commercial featuring David Spade ("1001 Ways to Say No") is pretty well decked out. I'm betting that it wouldn't go over very well with upper management though.

When I first saw the link I read it as "Migraine Innovations".
And yes, I suffer from migraines so that might have something to do with it.
Krylon spraypaint also eats away at it.

So where is the best spot for the mass driver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_driver/? We need to get construction started on that.

Won't the DMCA prevent this?
If they actually DID take over our machines we'd be able to sue them. I'd welcome the hack just to give the RIAA/MPAA someone else to sue.

So did they have to use a flash to get a pic of the dark side of the moon?

Obviously YMMV.
Is the land available for commercial development?
Based on where developers seem to like to put housing and commercial developments this would be perfect!
I was thinking along the lines of a GTA theme.
So shooting at the rescuers, burning the place down, stealing from the old folks. All those examples of humanity at its best.
I assume production has already started on "Looter: New Orleans" and variants.
You could always just post the IP on Slashdot.
Some might consider that overkill though.
I've got to disagree.
To make the typical politician all you need are a couple of Dimmer switches.

What you need is the Virgin Alarm from SpaceBalls.
Lone Star: What the hell was that noise?
Dot Matrix: That was my virgin-alarm. It's programmed to go off before you do!

Thanks for the added trailing slash.
