This would be the equivalent of projecting an advertising image on a natural landmark or such.
Imagine taking a pic of the family with Niagara Falls or (insert landmark) in the background and having a momento for the rest of your life to 'Drink Coca Cola' hovering above your heads.
"This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't bare thinking about."
As opposed to the OLD EXPLOITS? Source code leak or not, Windows can potentially be devistating if used for something critical on and open network.
Microsoft Corp. on Thursday confirmed that the source code for its Windows 2000 operating system has been leaked, a security breach that could give hackers important intelligence about how to exploit flaws in software run by most of the world's computers."
Since when did 'Hackers' need the Windows source to exploit it?

You know... when IS the right time to kick-start a stagnate space initiative? Mars is an obvious goal for space exploration sometime in the future. The fact that it's happening now is a good idea for someone wanting another term to see it through. Your comment would be worthy after his second term if he sat on it.
Your bulleted list is lame and isn't worth responding to. It shows you know little about what is involved. That is what happens when you simply read and react to the headlines and not explore the whole picture.
Bush is a bold president. He is doing things that simply have to be done, no matter how ugly it may seem to us know. I believe history will show the overall positive changes his decisions have made.
If my cell phone only made phone calls and did nothing else, no one would buy it. Competition can easily 1-up me by adding because it's easy to sell something when you can say it has more. People make decisions that way. If the phone includes a kitchen sink, they it has to be a better deal at $20+ than the onther that doesn't.
When NES (Nintendos) were 1st beaing sold, they we marketed with that robot, which spun a top, and you controlled it to drop the top onto the NES controller's buttons. It came bundled with a game where you basically controlled the game by proxy with the robot and spinning tops.
I find it interesting all the rocks in the pictures look small enough for any human to pick up and throw. I don't see any large outcropping of boulders and such. Why isn't the variety of the rock sized greater?
No kidding! I find myself doing the same thing when live events are being waited on and the news commentator is being told by their producers not to fill the air with silence... even at the expense of talking over someone important.
You are sadly ignorant of what is happening in the world. I suggest you read the news from real news sources and open your eyes. GWB did exactly what needed to be done. It was ugly and nasty and dead American soldiers are responsible from bringing more peace, stability and freedom in the world.

Wow, "Nerds" wasn't the first thing I thought when I looked. More like. "Wow!", "fascinating", and "this guy is a genious".
You on the otherhand, elicited an immediate response from me after reading your post.
You are an idiot! Most people get it! Unfortunately, people like you have to suffer an entire lifetime. Someone develops a novel idea that could lead to fascinating advances in technology for the next 100+ years and the only comment you can gome up with is. "NERDS"?
You idiot, we funded the mujahaden during the Soviet war. The checks wern't written to Osama.

It's important that we (American citizens) urge our congressmen to not exchange dialog
with Iran's ruling Mullas. As long as the US is courting Iranian government, it makes it harder for the younger people there to fight for their freedom.
Iran's youth believe that Islamic fundamentalism is medieval and not compatible with modern peaceful civilization and are desperately trying to change it.
This is a start for true peace in the middle east and Iran could be the model for that in the future.
We as American citizens can help the Iranian people by writing to our governments and asking them to clamp down on any political ties to the rulers there.

Ultima VII is completely ignored on the support front from Origin. They attempt to sell the game as a "Classics" package and knowing that the software will not likely run on a modern computer system. Rumors have it that the source to the game was lost a long time ago.
Have you guys seen Jeff Freedman & the Gang's "Exult" project?
Exult is a completely original port of Ultima VII to Windows & Linux and is nearly 80%+ complete.

I'm glad to see that X=4, KDE=2, and maybe, soon enough RH=7. But everytime I boot up my linux, I REALLY miss my quick keys. Mice are for people who have time on their hands.

It's visual pollution.
Man, after reading that article, all I could think of was "How gay!".
After reading it I feel I've lived a fairy tale where nothing was real and everything was sugar coated to make me feel all mooshy inside.
Actually, I'm impressed even at this. As long as nothing is failing, it gives me hope for future missions.
