* They can be removed without an unmount procedure.
you could theoretically setup your usbdrive to do the same, just performance would be shitty
* They are essentially free, whereas I need to get my USB drives returned. that'll change soon, at least for the smaller drives. 64mb are only 10 and prices will fall rapidly
* They don't autorun stuff when inserted. my usb drive doesn't autorun stuff either...
* Works with Windows 98 (25% of the desktop market) you can easily download drivers for win98
* They are bootable (handy when debugging a computer) as are usb drives
* Works with DOS (handy when debugging a computer) who needs dos if he has a knoppix cd?
I don't think so, I haven't much black market experience, but I think it's much easier to fake databases than stealing them. And judging by the ratio of fake software and audio sold on such markets I would say that the chances are good to be ripped of buying such databases
just yesterday or the day before they said here in the german news that we actually had a positive energy import/export ratio. i guess you are not informed very well
How can you know? Since nobody knows what this "consciousness" is nobody can tell whether it's bound to our body's matter or not. It could be very well possible that consciousness is transfered with a perfect copy of the body.
AFAIK there was another daedalus project with the goal to determine if interstellar travel was feasible within the next few decades... much more intresetnig subject if you ask me
These experiments already run for years. I even submitted a story about them but was rejected. Still... I want to have a cybernetic arm, or eight..., please.
a year has 8760 hours. if you leave your pc on 24/7 and it's always under maximum load it consumes, say 400W, 400J/s. this is 0.4kWh/h, that'll be 3504kWh/year or 770.88$ (an kauai) 490.56$ (on honolulu). however you'll probably get away with 100$/year...
Hom can someone believe that giving away for free something as valueable as a graphics card can be a profitable buisness? I wouldn't give them a single cent! They should better put their effort in reverse engineering the drivers for already in use hardware.

Almost everybody on this globe has, had, will have, has right now sex.

they're not very good at x86 code through WoW.
Why would I run x86 code through a *game* anyway? No wonder the performance sucks!

Fortunatly Slashdot had an inteview with the project founder
Yes, the touch-wheel still works. Touch-wheels are capacitance sensors, you can learn about them at www.qprox.com

you have to pay at least 16,99/month for the connection, I added the 5
of course the people who don't do drugs form a social group of their own!
here in germany you get 1mb down/128kb up for 20/month
This opens up a huge can of worms...
Yet they developed it to close the can of worms that's called email today.
Why don't webdesigners simply use standard compliant ways to make their websites?
how was the world 50 years ago? much the same, yet completely different.

if it was a real quantum computer you could for example factor primes very fast
IIRC Time already is an physical dimension, even without whizzbang fields and temperatures

depends on where you are. if you are on nothing more than a big rock you'll have to take care not to fall into orbit
Of course fat is the ideal power source. Nothing else has such a high calorie density (at least, nothing our body can use)...

I can simply turn my cellphone off
