Screw that, we only ever got the world wide web here and that's what we equate the internet to. If you had a network between different houses or institutions before that, who cares.
If your product needs to resort to odd spellings, like replacing the i in Think with an exclamation mark, that means you are dealing with a bunch of marketing hype and are trying to cash in on a fad instead of doing something useful.
Google changed something very important about the internet. It made bookmarking obsolete by actually being able to find the content you need quicker than browsing through a list of bookmarks.
That's a pretty radical change to before-google-became-all-too-popular times.
My bet is they looked at the "from" field, then had to somehow look-up the email and find out whose it was. People don't always put their full name in an e-mail address, but rather a nickname and then you have to look up the nickname and trace it to the name via the tubes.
If I wasn't implicatly involved I'd never go to the trouble of calling the coppers for anything. Let the victim call them, I don't want to be involved in any way, because most of the time it's just more trouble than it's worth.
Think about it, if I report a problem I'll be the main suspect for a while, I'll have to be interogated and I don't think they're ever nice about it, I'll potentionally have to appear at court and it's just overall too much of a mess. I have my own shit to deal with.
Don't you get it? America is the world, so if it was built in England they don't care, they're going to say they were the first for as long as it takes to make everyone believe it.
The only professions safe from automation are programming and different kinds of designing. At least until we get creative computers, but that's not very likely in the foreseeable future.
The reason these vehicles will never get adopted to the extent they should doesn't have anything to do with having to plug them in overnight, hell I'd venture to say many find that less of a nuissance than having to make a trip to the petrol pump.
The real reason we won't be seeing a large scale adoption of these is that they're ugly. Why can't somebody just give us a green car that actually looks good?
Sounds logical that it'd be about the speed of sound, it did used to be called "the sound wall/barrier" which, imho, likens the experience somewhat to flying through, well, a wall.
Walls tend to create a lot of friction when you're trying to fly through them.

Nullifying my mod because you may be funny, but informative you are not.
I've been using my real name on the Net for more than twenty years. I don't see the problem.
The problem is that Internet is only 15 years old.
3. Users must email their manager every 10 minutes to let them know that they're online.
The poor manager sob, wouldn't want to be him.
Besides anything that's not used to penetrate is wasted and in the way.
Oh who cares about length anymore! That's so old school, just give me more thickness!
I pay 0.00euro to send SMS. I even pay 0.00euro to receive SMS. Hell, I even pay 0.00euro to call somebody.
Then again, those prices were in euro and not dollars for a reason.

Then there is that one company that started off very small and ended up changing the rules of the internet completely.
... Google.
You know
Have you considered the Total Cost of Ownership?
If a wife costs too much there's still mum or a sister. Point is, a man never really has to do laundry, there's always someone to do it for him :P
It's called a wife.
In future you could perhaps have a two layer table by default, each layer being touchscreen and so on. This would make for something very useful.
Or maybe this technology could be built on and improved and you'd get a 3D map interface right on your "desk". How cool would THAT be!?
OK, off to do laundry now. When will they make a robot that does my laundry for me? Now THAT will be progress.
It's called a washing machine.

Something tells me the kid just wasn't smart enough to create a new e-mail address for this.

Will there be a "slashdot disagree comments" posting on this green horror?
Steve Hawking ain't got nothing on me; I must be a genius!
(You have to appreciate me calling myself a genius in the same sentence that has the word "ain't", and a double negative.)
And a misspelling of "Stephen Hawking"
Same here, I used to be able to concen OH HEY LOOK LOLCAT!

There is a monster out there less secure than windows and it is called Internet Explorer.
No it's the smell of your soul sold to Steve Jobs for the mac.
