I wonder if it really wont, or if NASA is trying to prevent widespread panic. We've all seen the "Apocalyptic" asteroid movies. Everyone is looting everything else, and the world turns into chaos. What if NASA is just trying to prevent that kind of scenario, so that in 24 years we get blindsided as this whole "event" will have long since passed our minds. I know I wouldn't tell anyone in the first place, but if I did I would come up with some calculations to disprove it so people could keep living their happy lives. Is there any private calculations going on this asteroid? Or are they all NASA or Government controlled?
I see your point about the integration into the os. I never really thought about that one. But to be fair, XP SP2 does have that same yellow bar (I don't know if it does the same thing as I've only used it twice).
What I wanna know is whats preventing XPI from turning into ActiveX? I know alot of security problems come from ActiveX and users clicking yes when they should click no. I've done it several times myself when I'm barreling through sites. I use Firefox exclusively. I've even installed it on my USB flash drive so I can use it at school.
I've heard about some new display out of Canada called the iFire. It uses thick-film dielectric electroluminescent (TDEL) technology. Has anyone else heard of it? And can anyone else comment on it if they have?
