Another use might be to remove blood parasites without harming tissues (other than the blood itself, which could be worked with outside of the body). Maybe, MAYBE, it could be used to help rid a body of viruses like AIDS.
Sometimes I wonder why I sit here, waiting for the next Slashdot story only to find that it is something I've already seen months ago, time after time.
Funny story. I'm not a great speller, and I ALWAYS spell that wrong, so I stared at that word for about two minutes, wondering if I spelled it correctly. Obviously, I was wrong.
To opt out, you give them all of the information they need. The 16-17 year olds don't even have much of a say on this. I just turned 18, so at least I can annoy my Rep and Senator about it.
This war on terror isn't going to end, even if the war on personal freedom succeeds.
And if we AREN'T better off, we'll just have to suck it up.
I personally don't want to have to suck it up; I want a disc that's A) fast B) large (capacity-wise) C)familiar (shape-wise... I don't want to have to buy new folders for them) D) reliable and E) doesn't have built-in DRM.
I've always had this idea for an MP3 player implant that would run on something like this. There would be a hard drive in-between the radius and ulna and there would be raised buttons on the arm, with a screen somehow built in (I obviously haven't worked out the details. There would have to be a USB or FireWire port, as well. You could have tattoos on the buttons to tell them appart or just memorize them and have it sort of consealed. Wires would run from there up to near the ear. Since it would come from inside the body, little amplification would be needed. Voila! No more worrying about broken or lost MP3 player, headphones, accessories, dead batteries, etc.
That's pretty dissapointing.
Isn't NCQ supposed to be one of those "WICKED SPECTACULAR AWESOME GIMME YOUR MONEY YOU NEED IT" technologies?
One of the reasons why I'm always 2 steps behind the technology curve, the other being the price.

I'm pretty sure the University's position is a popular one. Even Google does it. That's why they give their employees that 20% personal project time.
But how much uplink bandwidth does a zombie really need? I'm no expert, but it couldn't be that much.
Reminds me of Teh Scene, Episode 2. "I have a T-1 connection. That makes my penis bigger."
But, the fact that it's hotspot-free (tetherless) wireless access from major metropolitan areas should count for something.
The 3G phones DON'T NEED a hotspot. It's for people that don't have that sort of convenient place to go to.

Some of us would be happy with a 400-700 kbps pipe in our home. Ass.
A midnight post.

This is redicuolus.

Remember, there is no inscriptions on Das Keyboard keys. The letters are visible on this diagram for information purpose only.
UberGeeks don't need letters OR English classes.
Vegetarians don't know how to eat, let alone how to use a toolbar.
EXACTLY what I thought.

It IS that important, at least to me.
That means it's only $2000 for the _graphics cards_ in a top of the line SLI rig... this month.
I could've sworn CMDRTaco himself proposed this at least 2 years ago.

They did this on The Screen Savers (that is, the GOOD Screen Savers) years ago.
