Actually, if you buy several of them and use them to seal your nose/mouth, you won't need to eat, drink, or even breath again for the rest of your life! I smell a patent here.......
Just make sure you have two identities, such as "iJames" and perhaps "iJamesLovesGerbils" and then pick blogs accordingly. Thirty extra points if the gerbil identity blog list gets ranked in the top 3 hits on google when searching for "gerbil" or "richard gere".
I look forward to the price drop in PS2 games and consoles, particularly in the used market. Granted the games won't have all the eye candy appeal that the PS3 games will, but I figure the new influx of games will keep me happy until the PS3 price drops (probably around xmas of 2006).
Another excellent read is Leadership secrets of Atilla the Hun
Don't forget to place it in a visible place on your bookshelf, or better yet right on the corner of your desk where none of your minions can miss it. A picture of him and his army pillaging and looting would be a great addition too.
Am I the only one who thinks that Alex Trebek would be a kickbutt trivial pursuit player? Imagine all the questions and answers he has heard over the years (thought perhaps he hasn't absorbed much of it, I dunno).
The problem is, how do you even go about suing someone who lives in Elbonia (Or India or wherever) without spending a big pile of money? Or maybe that can be outsourced too, hmm. I am off to register "wesuetheworld.com".
Heh good point. Though you could always tell them, "OK, now that you are 25 you gotta get off your butt and start earning some money". Plus finding housing would probably be hell, especially if no one ever moved out of their houses, particularly as it became harder and harder to find empty houses (presumably if everyone had hundreds of years to find the "perfect house" in the "perfect location" they wouldn't want to move later). Then again maybe people would tend to move more often due to boredom.
It seems that people would be more inclined to be environmentally friendly too, since they could see (over the span of a few hundred years) with their own eyes what happens when you aren't.
I guess a better way to phrase my question is, would you be willing to suffer lots of pain to be famous? Granted that isn't all that Jesus is well known for, but when I think of people who lived a thousand (or more) years ago, most of them had pretty crummy lives (though probably mostly because of the poor social circumstances at the time).
Of course writing a book that is still well read a thousand years later might be a less painful way to be famous:-)
One interesting thing I just thought of; if you could live forever, there would be no hurry to have children (assuming your reproductive system continued to function properly). Thus people could have an entire career and save up money to have kids later. Eventually things would get pretty darn crowded, but that would encourage more space exploration, so in the end you could end up having a) every birth planned and well funded (presumably meaning the kids would be better taken care of in general) and b) more space exploration. Not too shabby.
Only if my brain keeps working and doesn't turn into pudding. Plus I don't want to have to drink blood or anything. If I could live forever in a 25 year old body that would be nice too. But if I have to live forever in a 120 year old body wetting my diapers forget it.
Not that I would ever have anything to hide, but how safe is data on an encrypted disk, in particular linux encrypted filesystems like this? It seems to me that with a little encryption you would pretty easily foil the efforts of any local forensics people.
..if Rick Berman were to show up on my porch selling Star Trek cookies...
If Rick Berman made Star Trek cookies, they would consist of 100% icing wrapped in gold cellophane covered with lots of blinking lights. Time to give Trek a long needed rest and let some new chefs try out their recipes.
Interesting, I did search for "authenticated DHCP" earlier but didn't find this for some reason. I currently allow the wireless router to act as the DHCP server, but it has the option to allow another host to do this. Thanks for the link!
...add mac addresses to a table for wireless clients...
Sadly this isn't very secure, since mac addresses can be faked (my wireless router already has this feature built-in). However it looks like ipcop has other types of authentication too [Version 0.2 of IPCop will include an Amber Zone (Wireless DMZ) which will support CIPE, IPSec or VPNd encrypted connections among other things] so I will check it out:-)
Rather than yet another wireless sniffing tool, what I really want is a linux firewall that sits between my wireless router and the rest of the world that tosses traffic from unauthenticated IP addresses (you could authenticate with, say, ssh or perhaps by hitting an SSL protected web form). Until the newly connected machine authenticates itself the firewall would squelch all outgoing traffic. It seems like this wouldn't be too hard to write, but before reinventing the wheel has anyone heard of such a thing? It would at least help keep random people from using our wireless network to surf the web (it is already outside of our firewall to help protect the rest of our network). I am all for allowing freebie wireless access to the masses, but I am not too keen on letting Joe Wardriver download kiddie porn from our work DSL either. This kind of tool seems like it would be useful to use in conjunction with a lowend wireless router.
The nice thing about dark fiber is that it is more efficient. While regular fiber uses light to transmit data, dark fiber uses a lack of light to transmit data.
Self replicating bots that rebuild nerves/bones/muscle, or self replicating bots that tear apart nerves/bones/muscles, take your pick. Or maybe tiny bots that hunt down and convert evilbots into other good hunterbots. I dub this new "game" Biocorewars.
Explosions. Now those are way cool, and always made chemistry exciting. Then again, the explosions in chemistry class never had fallout associated with them.

Will domains registered through them rank higher in search results?
Just put one of these six button mice on their desk and watch their head explode.
