I can see how they could disrupt the p2p networks by providing bad data instead of genuine data to their peers, but how can they disrupt Usenet other than by posting bad data?
(yeah, I know I broke the first rule about usenet.)
"Lie" detectors only detect an emotional response which is interpreted by the examiner. I have first hand experience taking a polygraph test by some guy that was supposed to be one of the country's leading experts in the field. It returned a false positive. So in my opinion, if a situation every arises where you're asked to take polygraph test, never, never, never take it.
6) less start up risk. If I can start with a couple of seats a month for $50/seat versus having to kick out hundreds or thousands of dollars per desktop copy, it's a better deal (well, legally anyways).
Criminy! What software are you talking about that replaces $1000+ apps with online apps? I think Dvorak was talking about things like Google apps and Flickr, not custom apps run inhouse on an intra-net.
5) Accessibility - what if you're outside the firewall and can't get thru the VPN?
Again, if you are talking about inhouse, intra-net apps, for security reasons, the only way you should be able to access it from outside the network is through VPN.
I still think the compressed air powered car looks the most promising. And I think we should focus on producing and delivering cheap electricity, then base our transportation on that.
"I've been dreading the opening of this museum." -indeed.
An artist that uses a brush, or a spray can, or a computer still "creates" art. So why can't God use evolution to create something? Because it doesn't fit the model described in Genesis? The bible was written by people with no concept of modern science and technology or knowledge of the formation of the earth. Even if divinely inspired, they would be expected to write with a frame of reference based on the world they lived in.
I guess the question should have been, "Whatever happened to the all the media coverage about the hole in the ozone?" The way the media covers global warming used to be the way they covered the hole in ozone 10-15 years ago. And before that, how they covered the cold war nuclear proliferation. To the point: the media tries to increase people's fear of these issues in order to increase ratings.
There was a time when soldiers where not allowed to have unauthorized maps. All military operations have a certain level of secrecy. If I or my immediate family was found to be blogging about what goes on inside the company that I work for, I'm pretty sure I'd be fired, even though the information that my company wants to keep secret wouldn't get anyone killed.
The right has fought a successful campaign over the last 30 years or so to move the center
I have to strongly disagree. Read up on the policy and speeches of JFK and compare them to today's politics. You will see that he is much closer to today's Republicans than today's Democrats. To me that indicates a shift to the left.
(Although I also hate to use "left" and "right" to describe political views.)
Of the protests I've seen on the news for the past couple of years, it seems like their purpose is to fullfil some kind of hippie fantasy of the protestors. Politically, they have been pretty much meaningless.
I don't know about the field tests, but I can tell you to never, ever take a "lie detector" test. They don't actually detect lies. They detect an emotional response that the tester will interpret as a lie or the truth. If I'm accused of something, I want evidence to based on something more concrete than an interpretation. I know first hand they return false positives.
From what I have read, a polygraph test is more reliable as a "truth detector". That is, a result of "no deception detected" is more often correct than the result of "deception detected".
What do you mean the parent is "trying to have it both ways, all ways, whenever it's convenient." The parent just expressed the opinion that the referenced web site is a parody.
I think your comments show a lot of bigotry.
I work for a company that does rating and billing for cell phone companies. This will not be a problem. It's not a unique situation. For instance, in Brazil, daylight savings start and end dates are different every year (I think the date is set by a presidential decree), yet it hasn't been a problem.

So what specific online applications are we talking about here?

All we see is "shirt 1: $13.00" vs "shirt 2: $15.00" and we buy the $13.00 shirt. If you have 3 kids and $40, Walmart wins.

Since when did being a Christian mean that you have to literally believe everything in the Bible?

I dunno... It seems sort of romantic to me to have your mortal remains lost in a mountain. Seems like a pretty good resting place to me.
What ever happened to the hole in the ozone? I thought everyone in Australia was supposed to have skin cancer by now.
