Goddamned bastards have everything I send to my girlfriend from Google labeled as spam. Maybe you should stop sending her emails on how to maximize her rod?
Presumably one must use a password. You could write a cronjob on the laptop to check an https "website" for a boolean value, and send pictures to the site if the boolean is set to true.
Make it look like a weather applet for extra points.
As an aside, this is one big gripe that I have about prisons everywhere. It doesnt allow for creating new life. Conjugal visits? That's what I thought these were for.
Success in Darwinian evolution _is_ procreation. If you procreated, you were successful. If you procreated more than others, you were more successful. Evolutionarily speaking, Americans and Chinese are (individually) some of the least successful people on the planet.
If in some future dystopia the most evolutionarily successful humans are the ones with a genetic predisposition to murder, steal, rape, etc., Evolution will not care. Of course, societal evolution, or human breeding, or [self-]intelligent design of our species would certainly benefit from your viewpoint. I personally think removal of violent tendencies might do us some good (until violent aliens land or someone clones a "violent" human a la Demolition Man, and they're so past violence that they don't even have fear in their genes).
110001101010111010100001010101010 is a very uninteresting number. Call me when we get close to 111111111111111111111111111111111 (8589934591 for those of you with ten fingers).
Parent post has it all.
Car analogy? Check.
Soccer Moms? Check. Check. (no mention of how many are single though)
But... a lot of soccer moms don't care. They're busy with their other kids and errands too (each server runs more than just apache), so they want the flexibility of driving their own car. Show me a website where the hardware is designed to be energy efficient, and I'll see a site that can't handle a good slashdotting.
Net equality could be misread as making sure every [NIC/computer/process/meatbag] gets a cap on data transfer rates so that others get their "fair" share. Yay, we all have a 4GB/month cap, now we're equal! You wanted to download a free OSS OS DVD? Sorry, that's illegal per the net equality act.
I'm sure there are more than a few groups that would like "net equality".
Click through contracts are rarely enforcible. ... if the click is expected after delivery of end product and receipt of payment. This would be a contract you click before you get the end product... and there's not even any payment!
help us evaluate it for the next game title. "Not for the patch for this title, because we want you to hate our company so much that you won't buy from us any more." Who at Bioware has been selling short?
Yeah, I noticed after I posted that you had a link to the right book on Amazon. I love that they still have the picture of the wizard on the front cover.
In future news:
Firefox 4.0 complies with the Internet Identity Assurance Act by including a GPG plugin to digitally sign all text input fields by default. IceWeasel developers continue to leave out this plugin in IceWeasel 4.0, eroding their user-base.
I also suggest this book. It's analogous to a math book that discusses _why_ 2+2=4. It's always nice to relearn things we learned by rote.
Though, isn't the title "There are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings" by Kenn Amdahl?
Dave Barry says it best on the back cover:
"There are no Electrons changed my life. I lost 17 pounds in five minutes without dieting, and I feel great!"
There are more intelligent comments from other authors, but no comments from physicists, EE's, or electricians.
Combine this with electronic paper, and a place where people are close and captive (Shopping lines, Elevators, Escalators, Urinals...), and you've got advertising that can determine how effective it is on its own. "Viewer eye focus is up 30%!" (works best when the electronic paper _doesn't_ interact with the user)
Scale is not directly proportional to price. If it were, a nano-battery would cost next to nothing to buy. Wait until the demand picks up (and it will, because these are currently at a good price point), and you'll see parts manufacturers making more and more parts for these little guys, and the price will drop slightly, increasing demand again. Hopefully the price for bigger machines doesn't increase due to parts shortages though.
I think the bigger question is, since when are we the "technorati" -- i thought pretentious words like that were reserved for [...] Pretentious words like that are reserved for whomever the speaker/writer wants to insult.
You for one, welcome your new narrator overlords.
In Second Person, you are the subject. In Soviet Russia, subject are you!
Surely you can think of more memes?

Second Person

But what I'd like to see was an "herbivore person" game. The screen would be split vertically in the middle, one side showing your right, the other your left, both at exactly 90 degree. And the predators are near. Run! Deer Hunter: Brown Shift.
Is the goal of the game to eat, fight, and mate, or get shot by the best hunter?
The point system should be semi-obvious: antler points. And they drop off yearly, so this could be a good play-leveling feature for "Deer Hunter: Brown Shift: The MMORPG. Defend your herd from other Bucks. Defend yourself from Buckshot. Do it all again next year."

Hotmail lazily blocks about 90% of all HAM emails (at least on the account I had a while back).
Your proof is elegant, but assumes that distinction leads to interest. In my case it does not.

Love the use of "offal" instead of awful too.

Because those are the next step in OSS gaming? Methinks someone needs to look at Vegastrike or a similar project.
I've been playing official NWN on a computer without a network connection for a long time. There isn't any call home DRM in NWN.

No problem, it will be shipped in the 40th month of 2008.
