My understanding is that they actually work TOO well at high altitudes, confusing the cell towers by being visible to so many at once, so the cell companies convinced the FAA to ban them. They work fine.
At least, that's what my flight instructor told me. I get full bars at 5,000ft in my 140 anyway.
Uhm...
IIRC, this (Microsoft's) was released first. You should know that its appearance on Slashdot has no correlation to its actually release date.
Try again.
Or, Microsoft installs Google Search as a default button in the IE7 search bar (which, contary to some claims, does remember your preference, though it's buggy in Beta 1).
The changes go deeper than you might think. It's not as revolutionary as we'd all hoped, but the new Explorer and the user priveleges are huge steps forward.
True, it is important to learn what's there before we move in, but I think you'll have a hard time finding moral qualms in accidentally eradicating the local bacteria.
Since what life we might find will almost definately be merely microscopic, or so I'd expect, it would be a little ridiculous to expect long-term protection of it once we've researched it adequately. In the long run, we're gonna move in, if not permanently then at least enough to displace the fauna.
That is, assuming the first astronauts don't suffer a horrible and anti-climactic War of the Worlds denoument.
According to the review, it's locked in place. He may be lying, but it's worth nothing that the toolbars are identically figured in all of the Windows Vista IE7 shots from multiple sources.
I don't know about debris -- maybe have some redundancy or a self-cleaning/error-detecting system -- but the cloud cover should be simple; it might not point directly at the sun, but it still will point at wherever hte most light is coming from. Heck, ify ou live by the freeway, this setup might just point there at night and get you some power.
So make it smart. Put light switches in each room that dynamically adjust which "pipes" are open and alter the brightness of the artificial sun/spotlight according to how many rooms it needs to feed. You ought to be able to come quite close to the efficiency of standard bulbs by doing this, and since you are only running it at night and it saves you the old lighting infrastructure, it might be worth it.
The downside being that if the spotlight goes out, so does all your light.
In the original screenplay for the new Fantastic Four movie, they had changed the plot so that the heroes were actually mutated by errant Wi-Fi transmissions.
I have an even better idea. We'll call it "Every six months day". It will happen every six months. You'll know when it's that day again because that's the day you change your fire alarm batteries.
No, it doesn't render them useless at all. Just because Wal*Mart doesn't carry hardcore porn, for example, doesn't mean rating hardcore porn whatever it is that it gets rated is an innefectual thing to do. In fact, it just shows the usefulness of the rating; it allows companies to, without drafting their own standards, effectively determine in almost every case what they will carry. And it allows parents or other consumers, when they find the product ANYWHERE, to evaluate its content.
Newsflash: When you own a corporation, you have a right to censor whatever you want inside the building. In other words, it's absolutely ridiculous to say that with disgust as if Wal*Mart is obligated to sell you anything.
Too late. Microsoft already has em coming. I forget when it was announced, but you'll be able to access (but not change) calendars, emails, contacts, music, etc.
That thinking is wrong and outdated. Don't people have any morals? You should be able to give your information to a company without worrying about it being sold. Therefore do just that and ignore any side-effects.
*cough*

Worse yet is when the two cars were pulling forward and I could have sworn I was rolling back... The resultant collision was hard to explain.

This seriously sucks, though. I mean, I, can't even maintain a full 11Mbit unamplified connection for 3 hours, and my router is downstairs :(
Canadian Space Agency! Hah! Mod parent funny!

My Mozilla complains. I'm not going!

Yes, those are indeed all indisputably good in an objective sense. Surely taste is no matter.
That's where I am too. I'll probably download and play with it, but pressure sensitivity is important to me. Come on, even Windows Journal does that ;)
Three bags of rice! Wow! As an average man, I can only lift one and a half!

My three year old Tablet PC can do one and three out of the box.
Ever tried to significantly upgrade a G5 on your own?

Oh.
Oh well.
MREs get danged hot though. I burnt myself on one at the USNA last fall. Lots of food in there too.
