The good thing is that it's much easier to screen space travelers, since there will be so few. It's unlikely that terrorists would bother going through such scrutiny.
Why don't you try living in China as a Chinese person? You know, give up your US citizenship, tear up your passport. Then see how similary they really are.
When asked "Can we win?" the war on terror, Bush said, "I don't think you can win it. But I think you can create conditions so that the -- those who use terror as a tool are -- less acceptable in parts of the world."
I haven't looked into Janus much, but this ZDNet article mentions that Dell, Creative, and Rio will be offering mp3 players supporting Janus. Some players that support it:
Creative Zen Portable Media Center
iRiver PMC-120
Gateway MP3 Photo Jukebox (4GB)
iRiver H10 (5GB)
iRiver H320 (20GB)
# The first version will be 512mb.
# There will be six buttons along one of the skinny sides.
# There will be an LCD screen.
# The head will be removeable and compatible with existing PEZ heads.
# The first production run will be small and made in the USA.
# The first production run will be early summer.
# Supports MP3, WMA, OGG, USB 2.0, mounts as flash drive.
# No voice record, no FM tuner, no Bluetooth, no Janus (Napster to Go.)
# Will be sold direct to consumer from this website (may go into retail channels later.)
use of Firefox rose to 6.17% from 5.59% in January.
Firefox's gain comes at the expense of Internet Explorer, which dropped to 89.04% market share, from 90.31% in December.
So, IE has dropped by 1.27% and Firefox has risen by 0.58%. That means other browsers have risen by 0.67%, which is more than Firefox.
From what I understand, many repetitive stress injuries arise from the specific positioning of the fingers while typing. So, for example, some people's hands might hurt while typing on a regular keyboard, but not when using a game controller. This may alleviate some RSI cases by allowing a new fingering position.
I use Bloglines to subscribe to a bunch of blogs, but I only find about 20% of the posts interesting. RSS aggregators should have some way for you to mod individual posts, then use that info to intelligently rank posts in the future.
Ben Edelman says: I think that's crazy -- no one reads the EULAs, and no one would agree to their terms even if they did read them. But courts and lawyers take these things very seriously -- tending to defer to the fiction that users really did agree to the software, and to all its terms and requirements, when users pressed "accept."
He's talking about spyware here, but by his logic all EULAs in software and on the web are BS because the user didn't "really" agree to them. (How many times have you actually read the full EULA?) Then what legal protection can legitimate software makers have, under this standard?
There are literally, millions of blogs out there. The only enforcement needed is competition, which can be much fiercer in the blog world than in traditional media. Honest blogs are trusted, dishonest blogs are dumped.

Is this a strategic swipe at Google's ad revenue for parked domains?
Then we can have a competitive playing field.
Do they have a working prototype of a Helium-3 power plant? I have a feeling this is an Energia propaganda piece.
China needs Internet companies as much as they need China.
No it doesn't.
Why not simply link to the original article, instead of these cut-and-paste pages?
I found this even more interesting:
And for the first time, sales of MP3 players are surpassing sales of personal CD players and CD shelf systems
Something for the music industry to think about.

Thanks to Google Maps (and many similar services) a street address is all we need to get a satellite image of a person's home.
Yeah, we've heard it all before. How does this pertain to what you can do with the Amazon wish lists? It doesn't.

You are correct. I should have said "% market share" for all figures.

Not at all. They're a bunch of lawyers and academics, mostly discussing legal issues.
Was it just me, or did anyone else here a faint, regular "heartbeat" in the descent audio? Was the spacecraft emitting this?
