There is actually good reason to believe that homo neandertalis is still very alive in some parts of the world. Isolated regions of the planet often have some groups of people who are unable to interbreed with other groups that have been active members in the gene pool. Although homo neandertalis would probably have evolved just as much as our own homo sapiens since the time of the neanderthal skeleton, they could easily still be living.
It is also possible that homo erectus could be alive, but this is less likely because of their smaller brains. Homo neandertal is able to compete with, though not dominate, homo sapiens because we have similar cranial mass, but homo erectus just didn't have enough brains to cut it.
We have standards for everything else, why not create a password-protection standard? If there was a standard set of requirements for a password, then people could use the same password for all standard-compliant systems.
Of course it's not as good as the hype. Hype=false advertising. False advertising=how to get money. Getting money=goal of every corporation of any kind. It's really not a difficult concept, here.
I agree with this. If we're going to accept the model of time as a dimension, we've got to abandon the idea that cause and effect have a specific order in time. The only reason we have this perception of cause and effect is that our reference point is in constant "forward" motion along the time axis, so we are unable to measure the effects of the future on the present and past; we don't know what effects to look for because the causes haven't happened yet. If we are to understand the effects of the future on the past, we've got to first understand the fundamentals of how matter and energy are able to travel backwards in time.
Incidentally, while I love Douglas Adams, he wasn't the first science fiction author to think up this perception of time. The Tralfamadorians in Vonnegut's The Sirens of Titan were able to see in four dimensions and viewed past and present as interlocking concepts all the way back in 1959.

C/C++ and Assembly is still a very viable combination.

What's not to like? Sex isn't any worse just because porn sites were invented.
...imagine the spams you'll get. H0tt chixx clamationz! I don't want to think of what would happen if they started producing these in life size.
If you become involved in the tech groups of others, they will be willing to become involved in your tech group.

But that's not true. The older adults are the ones committing suicide, mostly.
