I'm sorry, but haven't you seen Back to the Future III? Flying trains are right around the corner, and we better start preparing. I think we should make skyscrapers able to fly out of the way, personally.
Perhaps a better Star Trek relation would be to the episode with Tasha Yar's sister, Ishara Yar, where everyone has a little identifier that alerts the other side when they are trying to invade. "Legacy" episode link. Of course, they never explained exactly why each side always placed these things in/on all their young.
If used to track or identify our soldiers, I see this backfiring.
CRTs have more resolutions because of their analog nature. They naturally have smooth blurring at many resolutions. LCDs and other fixed-pixel technologies control each pixel exactly. All smoothing would have to be done algorithmically (see various image processing topics such as Gaussian blurring/smoothing), which increases expense and isn't always the best solution - think text display.
I would say a better solution to reducing resolution would be to increase text size or use the accessibility tools such as the magnifying glass.
I was able to get my account canceled fairly easily, actually. I had to go through multiple confirmation screens, but my account was canceled quickly.
However, all those friend's blog subscriptions I signed up for caused my email address to be included in their email notification list. I canceled about 3 months ago, and I still get emails notifying me that a friend has updated their blog. Technically incompetent people should be shot.
I think the primary reason we capitalize ID is to distinguish it from the id, ego, and superego. Flashing your id to get through an airport security station will likely land you in jail, or at least result in a sexual harassment allegation. Showing your ID will get you right through. Besides, grammar is evolving.
(int) x would convert the floating point value to an integer (truncation, basically).
*(int*) &x treats the bits as an integer, with no behind the scenes conversion to an actual int value.
I'm going to assume you were summarizing a season of 24, because it really does mirror season 4, I think. In which case, I picked up on it. Still not all that clever, though. Sorry.

Flexible Body Armor

That's why there's another topic of research dealing with shear thickening fluid. I particularly like Norman Wagner's research here. Basically, we could make full body armor, but the number of layers of kevlar required is too many to make it very flexible or breathable. This is helping to solve that while keeping or improving the protection.
This brings up problems in combating slander/libel charges. You have to have the ability to prove what you say. This would seem to especially apply to stories where anonymous sources are needed - chances are that someone's going to be upset about the information getting out.
I think they should have given their reason for cancellation as "the original Enterprise NCC-1701 had a 5 year mission that it didn't complete. In order to be accurate to the Star Trek universe, this earlier attempt really shouldn't have a longer-lasting Enterprise - this is a logical place to end the series."
Oh wait, Enterprise doesn't bother with accuracy. But still, it would have been a better reason to cancel it. Though, they wouldn't be in this spot if they had gone back to what made Star Trek great in the first place...not the special effects and crap a la Nemesis, but an all around good show.
If Canada also gets some creative influence and uses it to better the series, I'm all for it. If not, then yes, let it die.
There's also a web interface to Azureus you can set up so when someone starts a game, they can limit your upload speed further (or altogether stop your uploads) if necessary. It's handy on ADSL connections, where upload speed is severely limited. I can get that episode of West Wing I missed while I sleep, and my roommate can pause it at 3am without knocking on my door.
So, our little voice rendering machine would have a set of voice patterns to work off of? These could be stolen or copied to fake someone's voice. Of course, that technology already exists, but it's something to think about.
Then again, if it becomes common for computer voices to be heard on the phone, anyone can fake anyone's presence even without voice pattern theft.
It monitored the impuleses to / movement of his jaw muscle, I think. It required more movement than this technology, as I understand it. Ender still made soft sounds, or clicks, or something. It was at least very obvious to his wife, who got jealous of Jane.
Ummm, how about doing exactly what they did, but anonymously, so that we know they didn't just do it for the positive press?
How big of a story would this have been if it didn't have Microsoft's name behind it? The reason we have set punishments for various crimes is for the deterrent. It is much better to prevent others from doing something wrong than to just punish those that get caught. This being a bigger story helps deter people (not yet addicted) from downloading child porn in the first place - hey, you, you're more likely to get caught now! Plus what everyone else said about Microsoft being a for-profit business, and deserving some good PR every once in awhile, if for no other reason than to point out how bad their negative PR can be.

"By making energy conservation as fun as a video game, the fickle on-again, off-again of human nature might just be overcome."
Because people never change their idea of what is cool....
Actually, between the Angelina Jolie nudity and the awesomeness of a 28.8 Kbps modem, Hackers was pretty damn cool. Ridiculous, but cool.
I don't think I want to be associated with Swordfish. You should have mentioned Office Space, though.

Not everyone works for a large company. Small programming companies have only a few people, typically not divided into one-person departments.

I'm sorry, I couldn't read your post. Would you mind decrypting it? This truly is a remarkable method.

I agree wholeheartedly. People should know me.

Yeah, that's mine. Sorry 'bout that.

Perhaps it's time to change that wikipedia article, then. =)
I believe! I believe! Aw crap! my blood's boiling!
