Here's a few theories. Better policing, the banning of ethyl lead in gasoline - take your choice.

A responsive development team. That's pretty cool! Now if only Google would put some time into improving Gmail because their web based product sucks ass.

Backward compatibility. Which btw Microsoft has broken a time or three.

I don't think we're going to go machine bodies. Regenerative medicine will see to that.

I despise most all of Symantecs products from their craptastic PGP implementation, drive encryption, etc. It's horrendous. It's why I went 100% Unix. Don't need Symantec at all for AV or firewall or PGP or encryption. It's built into Linux.

Great takedown. And here's the thing - humanity as we know it has been around at a minimum of a couple hundred thousand years.

Meanwhile in the Boston area we have positively antiquated vehicles on the Red, Green and Orange lines. It's time to move toward the future.

I wouldn't say that. A good friend of mine is on facebook under an alias. Plus I won't admit how many facebook accounts I have.

That plus enterovirus. We had a kid die recently but he had two concurrent infections, one of which was enterovirus. Now they're beating the panic drum.

The same as registration stickers here in the U.S.?
> Because for a very long time we here just piled the stickers on the plates. Then when a corner got too full you'd pile them on other corners.

Now parking permits are another matter entirely. They are easily replicated and nobody would know the difference.

That underneath it all is a flat file structure and a database product like MS-SQL, MySQL or even PostgresSQL.

What they really need is someone that's good at reverse engineering.

A good 40MPH over the limit on highways. Here in RI most of the highways are 55MPH or 65MPH. But I recall as a kid they used to all be 70MPH.

So I can be found flying down RI-4, or I-95 in a variety of vehicles.

Most recently I had a Subaru Impreza - speedy little beast. I was on I-95N in the left hand lane until I came upon an asshole doing 55MPH there. So I dropped to the right, accelerated. I see headlights behind me while I'm doing 85MPH. It's a State Trooper - he just cuts around me. Didn't even turn the lights or siren on. And the car was in fact RED!

Luckily I live in a city that understands spiciness. For example there are several Indian restaurants - all have great food. Then there's a Carribean restaurant near me - the jerk spicing is excellent.

Yup - I've done this myself. Just walk right in.

I was thinking the very same thing. Besides, what fun in there in hijacking an aircraft anymore when you can just terrorize the thousands of people in an airport instead.

They really don't even think about that.
