Just add this keyboard to it, some small I-won't-suck-200-watts-by-myself CPU with peripherals, a reasonable battery that doesn't explode and you'll have a computer that you can wear on your head, just think of the possibilities.
In another test, people were given some time to study a picture, it was a crossroads with stop signs. When asked what the colour of the traffic light was, 50% of the people said red, 25% said yellow and 25% said green. All insisted the traffic light was really there.
In another study, someone showed it was ridiculously easy to alter test subject's childhood memories to include things that could never have happened.
Human memory is a read-write filesystem, and recalling a memory overwrites it, recalling it with suggestions offered by the outside world can easily alter them.

And then there's the inefficiency of the car itself: moving around a ton of steel to transport 1 to not-so-many people. The total efficiency of a gas-powered car moving a single human around is not higher than 1%. But just try improving that, transportation systems are generally heavier than the stuff they transport.
But rehabilitation is besides the point. We must pre-empt the murder, not treat it after the fact. The idea is make the act of murdering someone - - and any crime which incurs suffering - so costly that it will be highly undesirable to do so for the rest of us. The only way we can do this is to make known that the person who commits a specific crime invariably afterwards experiences things so unpleasant that it would a foolish economic decision to commit a similar act.
Beyond a certain point (which is around 5 years IIRC), increasing punishment does not increase deterrent, people just try to avoid getting caught.
let's see, there's an RFID tag in the disk, the player won't play the disk of the RFID isn't correct, now there's a few options
-legacy disks won't play (people won't like it, but I can see it happening) -legacy disks will play, the fact that RFID is needed sits as data on the disk
both things will be fixable with a programmable RFID chip, provided their code isn't too complicated (which it can't be, since they're delevering the encrypted content, the algorithm AND the key, just obfuscated) you can also mod the player (I can see the US outlawing this).
things that will work only with option 2: cracking the disk image before burning it or simply cutting the RFID chip in the player or wrapping it in tin foil.
There was an article about people who simply wrote down where the ball landed, then based their bets on that, after they won a good amount of money the casino threw them out.
The obvious solution is move the table around a bit once in a while to screw up the statistics.
does this mean the useragent string will now include WIE instead of MSIE?
might this be an attempt to get around old selective scripts with their slightly-more compatible browser?
I can't imagine the amount of IE-only sites this will break though.
the laptop I'm posting from has a wheel on the front that adjusts the volume of the internal speaker, it works in exactly the same way as volume wheels on old-fashioned 0-10 (or 11) volume wheels on amps.
the biggest upside of this is that the PC speaker, being emulated on the internal speaker, can also be silenced. The noisest thing to come from this laptop is the fan spinning up. (assuming it doesn't have noisy encounters with windows, walls or pavement)
well, here's a purpose you probably haven't thought of: Someone failing maxtor harddrive, took it outside and shot it several times with different handguns, then posted photographs of it on a forum.
None of the bullets had made more than a dent in the cover, quote from the forum: "Who needs bulletproof vests when you have maxtor harddrives?"
If you actually read a little more about Little boy and Fat man, you'll see that it was little boy that was the uranium bomb, which weighed only slightly less than fat man, which was more spherical in order to house the implosion device.
the gun type device isn't just reliable, it's inherently unsafe (high accelleration or falling into water could set it off), it was used for little boy(first uranium bomb) and for the thin man project (which was cancelled because the higher rate of neutron emission by plutonium would require the weapon to be at least 19 feet long), but not many other bombs.
Every bomb after has used the implosion system, uranium, plutonium and composite fissile cores were all used.
that's when you actually look at what's happening, googling for the names of the two packages in conflict usually gives you a solution. (of course, you don't have to use -D every day)
for those who didn't notice:
halo1 pistol: 12 rounds
halo2 BR: 36 rounds in 3-bursts: 12 trigger-pulls
both have scope and are powerful
halo1 AR and halo2 SMG are _exactly_ the same weapon, dual-wielding the SMG makes it alot less accurate though.
halo2 pistol is just there to fill up that spot.

Of course we're getting way offtopic here.
we _had_ laptops that had 18+ hours of battery life, then we threw out the battery life for more processing power.
He doesn't need one.
The anointing oil he used contained cannabis-extracts, and in the quantities it was used in (being doused in it) would be far more potent than your average joint.
The obvious solution is to stamp each sheet of paper bought with "This is permanent paper", any problems will resolve themselves within 16 hours.
That's where RFID passports come in.

this is a microsoft conspiracy to get more people to download IE7!

you might have been modded up if it weren't for that last paragraph, that's pure flamebait.
