On the flip side, I can do it *right now* with an Archos device, and not having to have the adapter, just the normal cables.

I respectfully disagree with you. Host USB is a hard requirement for me. What if I want to use it to download pictures from my camera, to edit up and email them around? Or say I wanted to watch a movie? There is a finite amount of space on the iPad & iPad2. External storage helps work around this limitation. HDMI out, in an easy form, is important. I often give presentations, so being able to hook it to a projector will make things work nicely.

Aren't these really just two similar technologies, applied in radically different ways? The transporter takes matter, converts it to energy, sends it somewhere at the speed of light, and then converts it back to matter. The replicator just takes energy and converts it into matter. I chose transporter for that reason. That, and "warp drive" without "inertial dampening" will just SUCK.

My apologies. Part of that is my own warped sense of humor, part of it is a direct quote from SANS.
I'll endeavor to work better/worse humor into future submissions.

*Note to self: Must work harder on pleasing all of the people all of the time*

I don't agree with your view, but I think you need to be modded up as insightful.

So I guess I'm sitting here thinking, "Why?"
Really, what's the point in going back if you can't go forward again.

Sure, go back, invest, it won't do you a lick of good. You'll basically be dead to the people you left behind in the future. It is nothing more than a novel method of suicide. You could just as easily buy a big life insurance policy, and go back to see %big_historical_thing% or whatever, and achieve the same results.

Exactly. I predict that there will soon be a trade market for IP subnets.

The point about him risking his children was more about putting the good of the many (the dozens of people potentially injured if the truck was allowed to continue its course) ahead of the good of the few (The people in his car)

Was there risk involved, certainly. That said, it was still the right thing to do.
From the article, it says that he'd seen the truck side-swipe a barrier already. He had a reasonable assurance that the driver was incapacitated to the point where he would not rouse.
He did what I think is the most reasonable and responsible action given the known information. I am sorry that you feel differently.

Get your head around this: His passengers were his children.
However, knowing the physics, the risk to them was minimal. The only question would have been if his brakes could have held the pressure of two vehicles instead of one.

I still salute the guy. He saved a bunch of people, and did what was right. We need more people like him, and less people who want to "not get involved" because they might get hurt.

There are options to use Android as well. Hypermatix will do Caldav for Android, and does work with Zimbra

Confirmed. I get the same warning. I suspect one of his advertisers went rogue

So far, every time. Same with the wild white rhinos that wander onto my property. ;-)

Dunno about that. Ask any police dispatcher. They do whatever they can to find range time for the patrol folks. I've been told that FBI field agents are in similar situations.
They've got a less than 25% chance of connecting in their "double tap"
I spend more time on the range than the typical field agent. I also wouldn't bother coming out the door to shoot them. I'd just put a shot through the window and drop them at the end of the drive. A coyote is a lot smaller and a lot faster at 100m than a FBI agent. (And yes, I realize that I just got on their watch list. It's not the first time, and it won't be the last)
