Of course. All the real moneys in moichandising! spaceballs the lunchbox! spaceballs the action figures! spaceballs the flamethrower!, kids love that one...
Your probably right, but ONLY if the law is completely re-written to not be totally insane like it is now. Selective enforcement is how things are now, that or my spedometer is telling me I drive faster than I really do.
I agree, unless the the U.N.(ok or Dick Chenny) decides to totally ban the manufacture of anything that might be used as a spy camera any sort of attempt at regulation is futile. The only thing to do is to just get used to the fact that you are probobaly are being watched at any given moment and ignore it. Kids growing up in the near future will probably make fun of all the old farts and how in thier day "there used to be places you could go where no cameras could see you and if a crime was ever commited a man called a detective would have to collect evidence to find out who done it"
IMHO the only scary aspect of it all is if law enforcement goes 1984 on us and the FBI decides to arrest 99% of the population for every single trivial criminal act they ever commit or something like that.
I remember when my carphone was a 24x12x6 in. box, videogames were played in arcades and to use an 8-track recorder you actually had to have an 8-track recorder, so I'd say it's got a few advantages.

Ok, you go for a one minute drive or something while I just sit here. ok done yet? Well if you did then in your frame of referance I just moved foward more than one minute in the minute you were driving. Oh ya i got too prove it too, hmmmm ok. e=mc^2, or some form of that anyways.
For most registration required sites I usually just go through the first few qwerty:qwerty, asdfg:asdfg, aaaaa:aaaaa, etc. Usually won't take more than 3 or 4 tries. For me at least I've found it to pretty much be the least troublesome way to go about it. Like they say, the old tricks are the best tricks..
Secretsquirel's 1st theorum: The set of all possible replies to a given topic contain an infinite number of funny replies (prime replies) spaced exponentially furthur and furthur apart.
When people reply, as the funny replies get more and more used up, they take more and more comedic procesing to find and thus a smaller and smaller percent of all attempts turn out to be primes. Also, certain functions seem too output a higher than average number of prime replies. Interestingly such functions also seem to output a high number troll replies as well.
But dammit I just can't prove it!!
Ok, so a TOW needs someone to select a target or guide it in as it flies, it would probobly be an easy hack to make it aim automatically though. Of course if your gonna be like that about it you can just substitute the TOW for an old fashioned soviet made heat-seeking grenade launcher, point-shoot-bang, problem solved. Not sure but I think those still have a small recoil (in S.R. rocket launches you!), plus they're simply just not as cool so I used a TOW.
"Swap out the foam-disk shooters with a pair of shotgun shells, and now you're talking. Fire both shells simultaneously, because the recoil will probably send the 'bot flying backwards.":
Hmmm dunno, IMHO a flamethrower/TOW missle combo would be more aplicitable. Neither really have a recoil, plus flamethrower doesn't really need to be aimed much and the TOW has all the targeting stuff built in.
"And that means that when there is a demand for software, it won't be American that fulfils it. America is legislating away its dominant position in the software market."
They won't be getting as much $$$ for software then either though. Alot of asia uses OSS already. Wonder if uncle sam will still be bitching about software patents when they are from mongolia though.
More energy brain has smarter it is, evolution of brain limited by amount of energy available, give brain more energy to make it smarter!
Then when you overclock it with coffe/"other stimulants" it will still have enough current to run. Though it might make you faster, you still void the warranty and manufacturers don't recomend it.

"With cutting edge reporting like this, why would anyone go anywhere else for news?"
To get more up to date reporting instead of the luxury of having it all in one place?
Of course. All the real moneys in moichandising! spaceballs the lunchbox! spaceballs the action figures! spaceballs the flamethrower!, kids love that one...
You gotta admit, it would be pretty interesting to see actual numbers of what slashdot costs the national economy each year in wasted man-hours.
Ya, too bad we've had cold fusion up and running at area51 since the 70's. We just like to laugh at everyone else throw their money into dead-ends.

Bwhahaahha....ha, I shall laugh as our federal spacetroopers crush your puny astrodroids!
Hahhaa sure ya will, don't you mean you'll have to 'download' it again, c'mon now, don't lie...
Wow, I'm impressed. You definitly have earned my honarary +1 really observant mod.

ok take a deap breath and repeat after me, ok ready?
Mi..dol, I hear you can get it at your local drug store.

This is a prime example of my theory;

There hasn't been anything new in FPS since online gameing.
From a buisness perspective, it would actually be alot cheaper to just pay the damm 24 grand and get a new security guy.
