or not... i think after sept 11 many people and organizations put a lot more focus on data security, not just in case of a physical disaster but for virtual ones as well... hackers are constantly trying to compromise systems and efforts to protect the nations vital systems have been the focus of many security experts... i don't know what clarke is doing (other than promoting his book and trying to save face) talking about these things like they are new ideas when they are the actual basis for the creation for things such as the internet
phone cams are the least of most companies worries... how about spy cams (actually meant for spying) or photocopiers that double as scanners... i would put usb storage devices way above cell cams on the security threat list
what about the fact that they may create a generation of smarter criminals who need only tune in for a regularly schedualed episode to learn about the most common mistakes that their kinsmen make
encryption, required server validation, checking the game files for unauthorized changes... what's next a mandatory retnal scan or finger print before you're allowed to play the game you paid for.
putting the fiber underground it pretty capital intensive but if they would run them above ground like some power/telephone lines they would be affected mych more by weather and have to replace sections much more often... dealing with sewage bursts is probably a better and more cost effective alternative
for most people because it's so simple to use and doesn't require much computer/linux knowledge to use it as a recovery disk. it's also pretty well documented
most people don't need the type of box that runs lots of complex software and services that they don't require... employees in most corporations have specific software needs for their job and all would like access to the internet... putting db/cad/cam/graphics aside your basic word processing/spreadsheet bod doesn't need a p4 or an os that has a few dozen different servers and useless apps that ship with it...
replacing commercials with banner ads, so instead of watching ads you're essentially paying to watch ads... good move tivo... probably time to short the stock
some people will take the legit rout of paying for their downloads (ex: itunes) but there are others who don't recognize file sharing as a crime or simply do not care. the idea that some of those people will suddenly have a change of heart a pony up some cash is ludacris.
i doubt this will have much of an effect on the gradual phasing out of agp... pcie has numerous benefits and the performance will be unleashed once software developers catch up
anything that promotes non ie technologies it a net plus for the market... as long as aol doesn't use their position to turn off millions to firefox by adding adware/spyware to it and distributing it on their cds... otherwise the people who actually use those cds and find that aol adds some value for them will become converts (possibly without even knowing it) and firefox could possibly become the most dominant browser if other isps follow suit
anything that helps fight spam can't be all bad, but it would be nice if there was a completly transparent/open source system that we could all agree on rather than a dozen competing standards
giving your spare cycles to a good cause is a great way to make sure your computer is generating an optimal amount of heat during those cold winter nights
it makes a big difference in th elives of many "users" with little to no experience with troubleshooting and fixing problems... 90% of all the problems people are nagging about are browser related... the other 10% are related to some other crappy part of windows...
pixar can live without disney, they're firing on all cylinders... as for disney i can't think of the last hit they made on their own... probably fantasia
by the time my eyes have been shot i'll be able to get a chip implanted in my barin so i don't need my broken eyes anymore... or maybe i'll just stop wasting time on slashdot... chip it is...

more useless laws on the books... too bad the constitution doesn't set a maximum amount of time senators can assemble... only a minimum
somehow i was transported to a site i would never visit, i was looking at products i had no interest in, and i didn't want to leave...
