Open water is valuable. Aside from crude oil, the other mineral they are referring to is probably manganese, found in vast quantities on the sea floor in Manganese Modules. In the 1970's a few groups tried to mine it but it proved unprofitable. Maybe things will be better this time around?
Say, for instance, you build a computer based around a PC version of one of these DRM-enabled chips are you are not allowed to boot the computer without the password permanently stored in the proc. Your hard drive is encrypted, as well. Now you overclock your processor and you burn out the processor. Or say you are even an "average PC user" (READ: You don't know anything about computers) and the fan dies. Does this mean, since the password is premanently stored on the processor and you depend on that stored password to access the hard drive, that you will lose all of your data?
"Trusted Computing" = Lost Data?
Do I have the right idea or did I completely invent this?
The Technics Deck Bag is great for carrying laptops. It's padded, has lots of pockets and comes in camo (listed above) or black. It's meant to hold around 30 LPs and is an interesting alternative to regular laptop cases/backpacks. Of course, it still somewhat screams "steal me" as it says Technics on the outside.
But tin foil reflects lasers, too! Now they can track your position using infrared lasers! The only solution is to hide deep underground where the lasers can't reach you.
Not myself, but a few of my friends have become interested in coding by writing programs for TI calculators. The TI-83 cheap with a nice thick manual, and is programmed in TI Basic. It is one of those things that can be appreciated by non-nerds as you can use it to write programs to solve difficult problems, but you can also write (semi) interesting games for it. There is also an active development community and many games have been ported to it, such as Mario Bros.
We often forget that we are among the "enlightened" computer users. The average computer user just want to surf the internet. If IE lets them do that then they're going to use it. Tabbed browsing? Most people don't even know such a thing exists. Stability? If they were concerned with stability they probably wouldn't be using a Windows PC in the first place. Security? That is usually not a concern. Look at all of the open Wi-Fi routers in your neighborhood. Most people just want something you can "plug in" and have it work. Internet Explorer provides that and to them, there is little reason they should switch to another browser. "Don't fix it if it's not broken".*
*This is not to suggest that there are not many problems with IE. I use FireFox and would never consider using anything else.
This is not to mention tabbed browsing, while not an extension, arguably one of the best tools for reading/. ever. You can keep the main page, the article and the page it links to open in one window.
That is news to me. Montana has a much lower population density than Texas, especially considering the route the Trans-Texas Corridor would take. This image should illustrate the point. I would like to now say "The Trans-Texas Corridor will have a speed limit."

The real question is how Santa knows who has been naughty and who has been nice. I don't buy into the "winter cap" or STASI explanation because it is now the US Government. The Patriot Act has made it possible. As proof I submit some of the lyrics to "Santa Clause it Comin' to Town".

Does anyone actually copy windows media files? I thought everyone used mp3 and if not that, then ogg or flac.
Compared to a red laser with a wavelength of about 630-650 nm, green lasers have a wavelength of about 530 nm. 532 nm seems to be common.
