Actually, this will make life harder for the average farmer. Now they can't even have any intimate moment with their sheeps without feeling somebody's watching...
Nothing really new and has nothing to do with PDF...
In Firefox, you can use Mozilla Archive Format extension, which can also save pages in Internet Explorer's MHTML format, to do the same thing.
Besides, as it is said in Wikipedia, the reason for PDF is to render exactly the same regardless of its origin or destination and they are most appropriately used to encode the exact look of a document in a device-independent way. Unipage suffers from the common problem of webpages rendering differently in different browsers.
4 minutes? Either you're not looking for lossless ripping or my computer is getting really really old... It takes me much more that that to rip a complete CD with EAC.
"The software was developed with Japan's Tokuhoku University and uses touch and voice control to complete various tasks that aim to improve your gray matter."
A big here's hoping on that U.S. release.
U.S. citizens getting smarter? Now that's a matter of national security!
I learned to drive when I was 11 or 12 years old, while I only drove in dirt roads and with the supervision of an experienced adult. Driving is a good thing to know when you live in a rural, deserted area, as I did most of my life, because it may save your's or somebody else's life, in case of an emergency. Through those years, I got used to drive cars without any kind of assistance.
When I was around 19, I decided to get my driving license and, suddenly, I saw myself in a high tech car for the driving lessons. The instructor warned me that I would feel a huge difference from what I was used, specially when braking, because the car had some sort of assisted, electronic braking, so there wasn't the need to push so hard on the brake.
Even with that on mind, the first time I braked we almost hit with our noses on the windshield, if it wasn't for the safety belts! Eventually, I got used to it, but I wasn't expecting such a difference.
After I got my license, I returned to the old fashioned cars. This time it was the way around, so I almost didn't brake on time. It seemed like the brakes were wet or faulty.
Today, I keep driving a car without assistance (except for airbags), and, while I don't have any trouble driving it, I sure would like to have high-tech systems, because they do help to a safer driving. However, it seems most people overuse those systems and forget they are there to help keep control of the car in special conditions, not to help to drive faster or do risky moves. The problem is in the drivers heads and they have to understand what is defensive driving, regardless of the car.
Well, you and the other discoverers get to name it, so you might get a chance to "convince" them to name it after you.
from the article:
"If at least two of the four volunteers viewing each image report a track, that image will be fed to 100 more volunteers for verification. If at least 20 of these report a track, UC Berkeley undergraduates who are expert at spotting dust grain tracks will confirm the identification. Eventually, the grain will be extracted for analysis. Discoverers will get to name their dust grains."
I almost had an heart attack playing Alien Versus Predator with a 4 speaker system. Just remembering those "blips" on the radar gives me chills...
System Shock 2 was also very scary: because of the constant respawn of zombies and other not so friendly beings, one never could feel safe, there was no "clear area". Also, the best hard science fiction game I ever played!

Back in 98, I'm pretty sure someone must have said the same thing about google...

It's just like night vision in Iraq.
I would be more worried if you said:
"Last I checked, eating styrofoam let off some pretty nasty gasses..."
I don't know if it has any relation, but when I try to open http://gmailuser.googlepages.com/ I get "Not Found Error 404"

They're still building their website. Check:
So far, you can only get the snail mail address.

Babel fish?
I agree.

Just a warning. If you ever come to Portugal, never ask for a Kona: you would be asking for 'cunt'. Literally.
You insensitive clod! Everybody knows it is because of the pirates!
I see... change of career, heh?
Well, bite it. If it's tasty, then it's manga.
It's interesting to note that both Thief and System Shock 2 run on the same engine, called "Dark engine".
