You just successfully pulled off an "In Soviet Russia" style post legitimately without even saying it and without incurring the wrath of the moderators. Kudos to you.
Consider this hypothetical example. You walk into a shopping mall. In the middle of the shopping mall, there is someone in front of a kiosk who asks you if he can record what stores you visit while you're there as part of a survey. In order to do so, he writes down a description of what you look like - not your name - but what you're wearing, your height, etc. In several of the stores throughout the mall, there are people who identify you based on this data, and record whether or not you visit a particular store. When the mall closes, the surveyors in the store report their tallies back to the kiosk. What the surveyor ends up with is a list of some of the stores you visit while you're at the mall."
I like to use car analogies when talking about technology. Cookies are like the gas station attendant asking you if he can write down the make, model, color, and engine type of your car while you're fueling up. He then proceeds to attach a device with GPS that tracks your every movement and writes down your daily routes. Then he steals your car from your house in the night.
Those signs are just relics of the days of analog cell phones; today's phones don't cause any kind of interference. Every doctor I know and employee of hospitals carries a phone on them when at work. Mainly though, the signs are also to keep patient visitors from yapping on their phones in the hallways and such. IAAHITT (I Am A Hospital IT Tech)
I bet the military would jump all over this if they could get some human/dog hybrids to sniff out terrorists, or human/eagle hybrids for enhanced eye sight, etc. I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for Altered Beast (Genesis) and Project Altered Beast (PS2) to become a reality.
Bruce Springsteen was determined to be the event horizon and it has been theorized that his singing is actually spewing forth from the black hole as gamma radiation.
Like I said, the physics simulations and image processing are the same type of problem and also conveniently tackled very proficiently by graphics hardware. Perhaps thats why AMD merged with ATI? Just a thought.
Just like how one of the two recordable DVD formats (DVD+R/RW & DVD-R/W) was supposed to "win" and become the dominant format? AFAIK neither one has won definitively and it only makes sense to buy a drive capable of writing both simply out of convenience. Why lock yourself into one format when you can spend a couple more bucks for compatibility across the board?
Number 6: What do you want?
Number 2: We want information.
Number 6: Whose side are you on?
Number 2: That would be telling. We want information... information... information.
Number 6: You won't get it.
Number 2: By hook or by crook, we will.
I build a tinfoil hat for my machine because I KNEW this day was going to come! First they start by remotely shutting off your computer, then they take control of your car and force you to shop at designated outlets, and then finally they mandate a brain implant for full mind control! THE CORPORATIONS! THE GOVERNMENT! ITS COMING!

It's not cheap to build a bridge to Terabithia
Perhaps this means Lisa won't need braces after all.
This is classic from TFA;

That BSD is dead too?
Mr DNA, where did you come from?

Exactly my point as well! It's not about the games being out, its about the excitement in anticipation of their release!
For the greater good!
How many libraries of congress can you download every second?
So its made of Samuel L. Jackson's skin? Its nice to see celebrities getting involved in science.

So does this mean that Lennie will finally get help for his diabetes?
That would imply that they existed before the formation of the universe as we know it, since its estimated to be only 10^18 seconds.
Not a bad idea at all, I'd +1 Interesting you if I didn't already use my points.
I invoke Godwin's Law. This discussion is now officially over.
Excite bike. 'Nuff said.
If this thing combines with the smug cloud from George Clooney's Academy Award acceptance speech, we're all doomed!
I for one, welcome out 64bit Etch overlords... provided they can overtake Red Hat and company.
