many people dont know how to change a tire or oil.
Clearly, what is needed is a network of retail shops, call them 'Jiffy Comp' or something, for people to pop in and have their computers scanned and upgraded while they wait in the lobby watching CNN. After 20 minutes or so a jumpsuited tech would come in and say, "Mrs Pauley? We found two worms, installed service pack II and updated the virus defs. Everything is ok now but be sure to bring it back every 30 Gigabytes or 3 months. That'll be $24.95 + tax"
Leveraging the synchronicity of our paradigm-shifting product line with state of the art technology developed by a dedicated team of professionals, we offer a significant win-win situation with competitive advantage on the diversified but fragmented market of best of breed anti-spam solutions.
the phrase "My 2 cents worth" came from the days when postcards could be sent for 2 pennies, thus you could write an opinion and send it to your congressperson for 2 cents. Today, a regular size postcard is $.23, so an easily ignored inflation-adjusted opinion is now worth almost a quarter! (USD).
You can get the whole kit-n-kabootle here (for a pretty penny) - head mount display, head tracker, controller, force feedback vest and full retail copy of Doom3.
Actually it's more like Nielsen, Arbitron, Hooper and other media ratings services that have been in use since advertising began in radio in the 1920's.
I was an Arbitron participant one year and kept a booklet of all the radio I heard for a week. Shortly after that a TV ratings service asked for the same, and I was glad to send them back a book mostly blank except for a few half-hours watching Nightly Business Report;))
mod me down, goggle fanboys, but I'm not buying into the hype. I haven't heard anything about how they're going to turn a big bundle of cash into an even bigger bundle for a return on my investment, other than piss it away one advertising experiments. It's basically Internet data-mining of public information anyway.
Give me a good solid energy or pharmaceutical company or something with a steep demand curve, naturally limited supply and customers who gotta have it (like sickly suv owners).
I use an iPAQ with a sandisk wifi all the time for listening to Internet radio, incl. my own icecast server, using GSPlayer. It's like carrying a portable transistor am radio in the shirt pocket.

how do you ever know that 'letters of authenticity' are authentic?
would be great timing for a new WOTW movie to be released at the same time that they decide the 'interesting' SETI signal actually was real ETI.
Would be really interesting to get a series of ETI signals, and find out they're coming this way fast
close, but backwards (bottom of page)
You might end up on the newest reality TV show, "America's Funniest Security Cameras", with your host, Bob Saget.
Everyone will be wearing these

No doubt the ratings have shot thru the roof, as well as the advertising revenue. Makes me wonder if it was somehow rigged to achieve that end.
Thanks to outsourcing, everything I buy at WalMart with my unemployment check is cheaper!
the odds of developing an infinite improbability drive, by, oh, 2050?
but I just can't shove my head up my butt that far.
Here's the flying SUV that I want.

Wouldn't that be cool or what?
Gheez, Back in my day, the only hazard of using computers was getting your tie caught in the chain printer.

this is a dupe of a dupe

is that the same person who said, "Me fail English? That's unpossible!"
this is akin to hardware "spyware"

you just need a tin-foil athletic supporter
There, that was easy.
The Union Aerospace Corporation could probably handle a moon research facility with no problem.
