I can see it now, "Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry to have to tell you that your beloved John has been formatted and then written over. Along with our heart felt condolences, please accept this virtual urn containing the error codes we encountered while trying to retrieve him..."
Finally a way to change my tattoo every time i feel like it, and get rid of my gf's complaints that she doesn't want me to have more tattoos.
Plus, when she starts bitching about the naked woman tattoo you can claim your wireless tattoo must have gotten hacked by someone and you have no control over what is being shown!
Your finger prints can not be used against your children and grand children. DNA can and will be used for whatever the market will bear.
Once they have the database, health cost containment will be the excuse for accessing the information for use by non-judicial agencies and then later by non-governmental agencies. This is the ultimate privacy violation, using DNA to grant or withhold medical treatment will just be the beginning... how about getting a permit to start a family, in order to "clean up" the gene pool? Sorry sir, you can not procreate with the person of your choice. In fact, we have decided to sterilize you based on the number of recessive genes you carry.
Never under estimate the ability of people to abuse power when it's just laying around for the taking.
Hey, why did Alabama get lumped in to this? It's not like they can pick the state up and move it... plus they do have the Marshall Space Flight Center http://www.nasa.gov/centers/marshall/home/index.html in Huntsville.
Isn't there a standard penalty for a lawyer who blatantly lies about the facts of a case?
Yes, many of them end up serving long terms (even life sometimes) as an elected representative of the "people" in various state or national legislative bodies...
When I think of Yoda speak, the phrase "Around the survivors, a perimeter create" springs to mind. I think mine is closer to the spirit of that Yoda utterance. It would be better with his voice and inflection.
Well, let's just ski on down that slippery slope. I'm pretty sure we can find some large, athletic women who would find the word "Amazon" offensive... said women should request that any search results returning links to any page with this unacceptable word on it be removed from site...
According to the article, these virii only infect bacteria.
Well crap, there goes my idea to make some ground breaking changes to Sexually Transmitted Disease detection and treatment... Mutate the diseases and make them easier to find and treat. I already had the first TV spot plotted out:
It is also worth mentioning that this can happen slow enough that you really don't notice unless the blind spot is right in the center of your field of vision. I had a friend that got his first clue when he was looking at 2x4 walls I had framed, as they lay on a slab waiting to be stood. The regular layout made it obvious to him that he had "gaps" in his vision. He had been unaware of them because his brain was compensating. He was tested looking at a grid (all straight lines) and said it had "puckered areas" in it. To his credit, he immediately gave up driving... I'm sure at some point the doctor would have insisted but he did not want to risk injuring someone and he just gave up on his own. This issue has had lots of exposure in the older population, but most people under 50 are unaware of what could be waiting for them. Along with a genetic component, risk factors may include smoking, high blood pressure, obesity, high fat diet, sun exposure, and possibly light eye color.
Losing the ability to read or drive is not comprehensible to most of us... this could be great news for millions of people.

Someone will work the system into porn and THEN we'll have a video game that is REALLY addictive!
...this would depend entirely on the client program, because files can't delete themselves.
Wouldn't the client program have to be running to insert the password?
I think it's partially human nature though.
They call it Schadenfreude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude and there is a lot more of it in the world than one would like to believe.
Perhaps what we need is an updater to update the Adobe Updater.
OK, but they have to promise it will run all the time and use at least 200mB of my RAM...
Well, at 40,000,000 lines of Code Windows XP would have cost $160,000,000...

That's when you use a BitPump...
With all the errors I suspect it was translated to English by someone who isn't quite qualified.

I can see it now. "Ethical Hackers" working for "Diligent Bureaucrats" under the direction of "Honest Politicians"... Things are gonna be just great!
what actually is happening in the ??? part of that statement?
That's the part where they sit around wondering how to do the billing for all the customers whose information they no longer retain....

Given the state of the news media right now, that guy'll never work in the field again.
Maybe The Pirate Bay can start a reviews section and he could get a job there!
assuming North Korea didn't include an auto-destroy mechanism onboard
If they did, they better hope it worked better the the rest of the mission.
Turns out, it IS rocket science! Who'da thunkit?
But then how will we fight off the aliens?
He has put out a call for a world free of nuclear weapons... We will still have a butt-load* of them in orbit...
*Note: This is the US Standard butt-load, not the smaller International (metric) butt-load.
