at most or at least? To me, if the 2 crystals will be vibrating at the same time regardless of distance, the only lag would be in interpreting the vibrations on either end.

Now let's give one diamond to my ISP, and one to me, and maybe I can get some information at a decent speed.

Would be having it print out big black squares or troll faces until the toner runs out.

In the days where there are lawsuit trolls roaming the earth trying to turn any mishap into $$$, I can't really blame them.

The music and entertainment industries don't like you meddling with the affairs of their puppets...

Flag as spam? Seriously, it's not like I bother looking through my spam folder, and gmail has a pretty good filter.

The music starts at 7:40 if you prefer to just listen to the plinking of unmemorable notes...

He has more experience working with them than anyone else.

Install a hardware keylogger inside your keyboard (or just buy an external usb hardware keylogger -- this is less secure for the paranoid) and have the password that accesses the keylogger written on a piece of paper with instructions on how to use it in your wallet. Tell your relatives that you have a keylogger in (or attached to) your keyboard and that instructions on how to use it can be found inside your wallet if you die. Run a monthly script that simply types all of your passwords out one by one in a notepad so the keylogger catches them. If you die, your relatives will find the piece of paper, access the contents of your hardware keylogger, and collect all the information. If you are paranoid about someone breaking open your keyboard, stealing the flash memory, and somehow accessing it contents, I'm sure you could put an encrypting stage between the read and write stages (given you are making this keylogger yourself with a microcontroller). ...Or you could just use an online service that holds sets of passwords and secures them with a master password, but that's not as fun, is it?

I just went into the compiz settings and set it so the launcher only pops out if my mouse is in the upper left corner of the screen... problem solved.

And we also need Google to install cameras at the manufacturing plants so we can see what the food inside the packaging looks like. That way, we are not surprised when we open our bag of chips to see that it is half air.

I heard that Google is developing a new program called Google Space. Basically, they are going to send thousands, nay, millions, of 360-degree HD photo capturing deep space probes away from the earth in all directions so that people can explore space from the comfort of their desks. I kid, of course.

Well, to me, "software engineer" sounds even more high cost than "programmer", since it implies college education.

The biggest problems are when the aircraft is landing, not when flying at 10,000 feet. It is extremely difficult to shine a laser into the cockpit of an airplane if it is high above you, but as the aircraft is approaching the ground, it is easy for someone on the ground or in the airport to shine the beam into the cockpit as the craft gets closer and closer to the runway. The light bead could easily pass over any exposed eyes, temporarily blinding the pilots. It's not too big a deal for commercial aircraft since computers do the majority of the flying, but it can be dangerous for manually flown small aircraft.

I only ever use yahoo for mail. I vote it gets blown to smithereens like Alderaan - I'll just use my gmail account as my primary account.
