[...] developments like this one typically found their way into commercial products in 12 to 24 months. [...] At 500 gigahertz, the technology is 250 times faster than chips in today's cellphones, which operate at 2 gigahertz.
Nothing about laptops, it's all for cellphones. So don't worry about those body parts. Prepare for ultra super-duper cellphones next year!
Suppose the attorneys and the generals and all the greedy lawyers and mothers win and MySpace has to require a credit card or driving license to prove that a user is above 18/19/etc. So the guy registers as a 17 year old and obviously you cannot require such a person to has these IDs. What's the point then? How would this prevent situations like in the story? If the guy lies and says he is younger - he is a minority and isn't required to prove age, if he doesn't lie and says he's 19, well, she's been warned.
It is because of idiots like yourself (no offence) that this world sucks so much. I am a woman, studying and doing research in astronomy and therefore work with Linux very closely at work/school, and I am perfectly fine with it because I actually started using it as my desktop quite a while ago, before even going to university. And I LOVE shell. Yes, it is one of the greatest things about Linux, I just love how it is possible to issue one or two commands to do something that would otherwise require minutes of clicking.
What I hate most about some people, is when they talk about women as if they all had IQ of a stereotypical "dumb blond", and that is just plane sexist, and racist, too. Cause it seems to exclude all black women. And guess what, I see even less of those here working and studying science and engineering then blonds. And I doubt it's because they are less smart, it's because nobody EXPECTS them to do anything like this when they are kids, and that affects a person's abilities and desires to perform so much! So instead of arguing that "Linux is too hard" you should open your eyes to the reality: this superiority complex that some individuals have, it has spread to the entire society, which believes that every person has intellect predetermined by their sex/race/fatness/etc.
Interesting idea, check this out, how people fight for their freedom nowadays...

It's a pity rats can't do the same to free themselves.
