There's people out there who spend their lives cutting out the 'bungs' of thousands of dead pigs every day*. You think they'd turn down a job at the TSA because of this?
(Do a Google Image Search for "bung dropper" if you're not squeamish....)
The outcome of patent trials isn't 100% dependent on pesky facts, people can win and get injunctions because the other guy's lawyer was having a bad hair day or because the judge was too busy playing with his penis pump or any number of "human factors".
I would have said it more like a baby stroller which later had to do duty as a lawnmower and a vacuum cleaner while still maintaining full backwards compatibility and increasing capacity up to 200 babies.

I dunno, why does it remind you of Bill Gates? It's not like he ever said that or anything...
If that doesn't get the hipsters the bottled water and thermal till receipts will...
75 MILLION GALLONS?? Exactly how much fried chicken do they eat in Louisiana?
I should be financially ruined for sharing a couple of songs? In what universe is that "fair"?
PS: All independent evidence still shows that file sharing is GOOD for the record industry.
I think they just spend more money on pills over the pond. Most Brits have an aversion to all things medical.
I thought the reason you chill beer is to kill the nasty taste....
Um, *everybody* has a right to privacy, not just some special cases.
PS: The machines won't stop anything, explosives fit inside body cavities just as well as heroin/cocaine does.
Simple: C4 fits up asses ... and the scanner can't see there.
Every terrorist on the planet knows this.
Drug smugglers do it all the time, do you think a suicide bomber would have a problem with it?
Who makes the policies? Does the TSA not have to report to anybody? Are they a law unto themselves?
What we really need is for people to start dropping their pants and *showing* them that there's nothing hidden there.
Step two: Bend over and show them from behind, goatse style.
I remember saying "calculator!" to Windows 95 using a free microphone and the built-in calculator would pop up.

How many people used to read it before? That's the only real measure of success, and we're not being told.
I dunno, I used to read Jeremy Clarkson's column...
If you read the summary it says it's a fork of Open Office....

That doesn't work on people with IQs below 80 (ie. the people who'll be doing it to you)
How's the crackdown on TSA employees who steal from baggage coming along? Oh, there isn't one.
I'm not making plans to visit America anytime soon if that's how they're going to treat me.
You need to be trained to accept government intrusion into your personal space, do whatever they tell you to.
If you'll let them feel you up in public then letting them scan your email will seem like no big deal.
Or at least ... not yet. Not until there's a billion users and the whole web depends on it.

Came here to see a bunch of geeks fail to grok "art project" and go into endless loops over the merits of the technology involved.
