The more contentions something is, meaning there's no real clear evidence one way or the other, then the more it's much ado about nothing. You are free to use a cell all you want - there's no conclusive hard evidence it causes cancer. You are free to believe it will melt your brain if used for more than 5 minutes and rigorously avoid it. You can take one side or another in the argument and waste a lot of time and energy promoting an arbitrary view. Or you can just ignore the whole tempest-in-a-teapot and get on with more important things in life.
A fellow I worked with decided to go into the air purifier business and put one in his cube, next to mine, turned up to where we could small the ozone. He swore, like a salesperson would, that the odor was 'good for you' but I threw a fit and got it remove - damned if I'm going to sit there breathing O3 for 8 hours/day.
Just for the record, the situation is similar to what has been happening with the RF spectrum and the fcc for ages - they are always complaining that 'we are running out of spectrum', but they only mean that it has been allocated, usually to large companies. You go out and actually scan around you find that large parts of the spectrum are barely used at all. It's like a room with all the chairs reserved, so they tell you the room is full - when actually there's hardly ever anybody in there at any given time.
However, people are so worried about such things they would never admit it.
It's really a shame in so called modern day enlightened educated society that people are conditioned to be as afraid of anything nuclear as medieval people were of ghosts and demons - the same people who put down anything having to do with religion as mere myth, stories and superstitions. About the only thing people know about nuclear energy they learned from 'The Simpsons'.
Its piracy and it would invite if not all out war then at least some sort of major retaliation by the US.
Sounds like the plot to James Bond 'You Only Live Twice' (which looks like the big inspiration for Austin Powers, except no mini-me). Anyway, the Dr. Evil character is capturing both American and Soviet space missions in order to trigger a war for... some reason.
Yeah, it really sucked when they switched records from 78rpm to 33rpm - my grandfather had to go out and buy a whole new turntable and stylus, bastards.
Well, they have the Happy Meal Ethernet (hme0). Looks like they also partnered with Pontiac for the Sunfire and British Telecom for the Yellow Pages (NIS).
Spotted this past weekend - flat screen in a cooking school window playing a video, in the background, with a toolbar along the bottom and a window in the middle, over the video, informing us that "Your Updates Are Ready to Install!".
You can easily make 3D images viewable with lcd shutter glasses and an nvidia card if you find some shots where the camera is panning across the scene, and it's pretty static, using software like 3D Combine. Just take two frames so many frames apart and use one for each eye. I did this with some old Betty Boop cartoons (which were made by rotoscoping, that is, based on actual photographic images) and they worked great.
and Microsoft owns the biggest casino in town. Nothing wrong with that, just during any given gold rush, you can make a fortune from selling supplies to the miners.
Great, now we can soon get on with the job of assigning static ip addresses to all our toasters, refrigerators, furnaces, thermostats, tv sets, electric hairdryers, etc.
3) people that experiment with key configuration settings. Go ahead, click that DHCP button.
The trick is to create some group policies so the user does not have ability to play with those key setting. Don't even let them have the change to muck it up. Good security is not granting access to things they don't need to perform their work.
In an old movie, a bunch of prisoners were sitting around when the new guy asks, "Hey, what time is it?" and one of the old guys says, "Oh, about 1793".

... we charge you outrageous prices for the WiFi and give you free coffee.

Linux could use a figurehead like OpenBSD has - then we'd really get some respect.

First, you start with a large fortune...

most people on here only play strip solitaire.
Does Sun have stock in McDonald's?

that's only when the store purchases the rfid tag upgrade.
It's already annoying enough with those things on the shelf that detect when a body is present and spit out some commercial message.

I always setup a ram disk for swap space - it's so much faster than regular drives.

Cancel subscription to Wired, that'll take care of a large part of it.
Damn straight, I use mutt to read gmail (true).
Don't forget the non tech gift guides from Dave Barry
The olde saying goes: People who think they know everything are particularly annoying to those of us who do.

Wonder if users will be allowed to wear them to a movie theater.
And half of the manuals would read, "Blank this page has been left intentionally".
