Seems the Chinese also build about 64 million houses they didn't need... whole cities in fact.

Amazing Satellite Images Of The Ghost Cities Of China

Aluminium is 3x lighter than steel.

If this material is 10x lighter than steel we would be able to build among others much lighter aircraft.

Of course, I hope we don't have to glue the plane together from A4 sized pieces of "paper".

I did think twice.

So I downloaded the portal I demo (free), and then bought Portal I (full). Cost me Euro 8 and I am enjoying it.

I don't have to think very much things priced under Euro 10 -- but something like Portal II at Euro 50 ... that gives me pause.

I can afford it, but why waste the money?

I most likely wait for another 1-2 years and then buy it at a discount.

So where can I find an app for this?

It needs to protect my phone from being abused by thieves & in this case the police -- and preferably screams in some kind of high piched funny voice "You TICKLE me!" when they connect a cable to it.

From the article: So how good is the camera? For endoscopy, pretty good. The resolution is 62,500 (250 x 250) pixels and can produce a frame rate of 44 per second at this resolution

The Apple-Challenge / Apple-Response is iTunes' method to verify that it's talking to an Airport Express; it may be similar to the DAAP one which has been reverse-engineered. These headers are optional when talking to the Airport Express, so it's possible for other programs to talk to the Express but it'll be difficult to get iTunes to talk to something other than the Airport Express.

Until we get the private key out of the AirPortExpress, it's not possible to convince iTunes to send anything to a non-AirPortExpress client (say, another computer pretending to be an AirPortExpress).

Seems that problem has now been solved.

> All it requires is for them to snag the Beatles, AC/DC, Led Zep, Metallica, Pink Floyd,

Seriously does anyone actually miss those dinosaurs? The people who enjoy their music already have the LP / CD / DAT / DVD-Audio / Directors Cut / UnCut / Life in Wembley / Re-Union / Retirement editions. And they produce nothing new...

.. and tv series, and movies , and everything else digital .... unlimited subscription based access for a low monthly fee.

THATS where it is going.

Not independent author websites (too many too cluttered), or even pirated content (still too much hassle) , or itunes (why pay for a track?)

Simple, uncluttered access to everything you (n)ever wanted.

It will take a few years, it took the music industry 10+ years, so expect this to happen around 2020 or something.

Remind me to generate a new IPv6 address for every hour of the day...

It is set in the (then) futuristic year of 2004, when Earth has been enslaved by a race of aliens known as the Orbs. The Orbs, who look like giant floating eyeballs, have implanted all humans with global tracking devices, forced them to wear nondescript robes and forbid them from speaking or communicating. The protagonist has been assigned by the Orbs to track down fellow humans who are believed to be forming an underground resistance.

Sounds like a winning strategy for the MPAA.

The INTERESTING bit here is in finding out how much, and what, Google actually logs and stores.

So does Google actually log visits by IP adress to a private YouTube page?

Looks like the mythbusters can redo this myth one more time.

Sound like this will work fine in Europe, and will never make it to the US
