Ok, there are reasons enough to do this to sex offenders, and I personally think it will happen. Once the possibilities are there, people always find an ingenious way to abuse it.
The movie "ST: First contact"
Data stopping the self destruction sequence by using the voice of the captain.
Or in nowadays terms: This call may be recorded for fraud purposes
All the april fool ones:
- Linux: GeNToo - Gentoo on the NT Kernel
- Developers: Microsoft Porting SQL Server To New Platforms. The XBOX did it.
- Hardware: Google Moves Into Drink Market
- IT: First PC Virus Spreads to Humans: This is not true, Melissa already showed that humans are infected.
- Apple: Tiger Woods Signs Deal To Be Apple Spokeperson: Doubtful, could be true.
- Science: Platform-Independent Real-Time Speech Technology: Watch the wording: Analog transmission through air.
- iCopulate Romances iPods, Executive Pong: The nam iCopulate will never make it in the US
- Science: Scientific American Gives Up. The wording gives it away
- Linux: Paris Hilton Recruited to Publicize Linux. To easy, no comments here.
- Britannica Takes Over the Wikimedia Foundation: LOL, I will start a new version just in case it is true
- Say 'Cheese' to Google Satellite at 10AM: Just another joke. Also one in the Netherlands where mobile phones were supposed to catch and direct the signal of the Huygens probe.
- IT: RFC On New Internet Routing Protocol: Routing the moral is a great idea. Good for religious fanatics, makes firewalling a lot easier.
- Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets: Since a few weeks ago an english couple was arrested for the same crime (but then to sell drugs), it could be possible, but the "health" remark gives it away as a joke.
- Science: Prsident Bush Cancels Space Shuttle Program: Sounds like the truth, but just read the article.
A mainframe interface is pretty close to what he suggests. People hate to remember even the easiest commands, even if it makes it a lot faster working. vi is more efficient for editting than eclipse.

Long tiem ago already, but... Doom After a game going outside and thinking on your bike that the truck coming from the right won't hurt you because you can use your rocket launcher to stop it anyway.

The banks will win. Electronic transactions excist for long enough for a patent to be or expired or to have previous art.
