  1. Can PDA encryption be trustworthy? Or those softwares that claim to store and encrypt your password. I'm looking around for one, so that I can change my password very often. I know with Google, people these days can just snoop around and find your password or credit card number very easily. Though I doubt most of us will be prone to major attacks, we may be the unfortunate target of a few pranksters.
  2. yep this sounds much like what I read in prey. This is real scary, but anyway what is the current state of things with such research. Our body is very intricate and there are many things about it that we still do not fully understand, it is extremely dangerous to put things in us that are living, this nanobot could be another virus and since the immune system won't help, we'd be a gonner
  3. it is still very surprising that computers are so limited in calculating something that seems so easy to define. Anyway what no. are we at now, and how fast is our progress? lol the progress of mankind in numbers
  4. queer the guy didnt ask for permission and now not only is his effort wasted, Google may just steal the idea and allow people to build their own search engine using the script php.google, but this time with catches. Anyway, compare to the effort google put in, his was nothing, so lol, what was he thinking man, to do such a thing as this.Then again, I really do not think google has much to lose if it uses a script on its system which obviously can be adjusted to refer the person to google site results page or at least pop some google ads in.
  5. May I know where you quoted that from? I agree with google actually, its only fair this way. However so does it mean now its illegal?
  6. I think the results are still shown in a google fashion right or at least have some of googles own ads on them if not why would google be willing to share its API and indexing service and let you market and put your logo to its service.Given that google is so strict on the adsense service and copyright laws, not wanting to infringe on intellectual property or step on anyone's toe (it wants to be in everyone's good books) what if someone misuses this indexing system. Anyway I still do not really get why google is allowing this.
  7. This idea of nanotechnology and nanobots invading your body to heal you or do whatever to you rings a bell with Michael Crichton's book - PREY.It is an interesting science fiction that probably arouses the feelings that science and this nanotechnology may be just another step forward that destroys the environment and depletes resources, but is worse this time. It kills. Go read the book.
  8. The above article is from Fortune and you can read it here. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and another major line The article discusses or rather just reveals issues that I think most thrid world countries face. They are constantly manipulated by foreign companies and in this particular cased Oil companies from the US and Europe such as Repsol, Total, British Gas, Exxon Mobil, and Pan American Energy. It is funny how the oil belongs to them yet they are still so poor and get such a low percentage cut on the huge amounts of money earned by these corporations. I think it just shows its not what you have but your ability to use what you have. Funny thing is, like most political leaders, inspite all their promises "I don't think much will change" as Abel Mamani, president of Fejuve, the association of neighbourhood organizations in El Alto puts it. What do you think? Is this fair treatment to third world contries? Is grace from the Oil Companies in the form of paying them more and waiving some debts, the only way for them to break out of this cycle of poverty? That seems to be what I'm thinking now though.
  9. I agree with Cerebral Stasis. Anyway this is old news and now its time to see how the new leaders, his deputy Olmert can rise to the challenge. We are all quite certain that Sharon will not return to office and that his contributin was major. The pulling out of the Gaza strip was a major move that required a lot of courage because not many were supportive of it and the immediate benefits could not have been assumed or predicted. To be able to make sacrifice and concessions is the first step towards peace making and in that, we are sorry for his depature from office.
  10. Haha, that was funny. Zoom all the way in and you get cheese. I think google does appeal to the hip and more modern or younger generation, which in fact are the people wasting their lives away on the internet... I think google has that special PR X factor to captivate us with its nonsense, brilliant features and candidness. Three Cheers For Google!
  11. I wouldn't really dare to tamper with the services incase all the things stop working. Especially since I have wi-fi and other components to worry about. What I usually do is adjust the programs that run on start-up getting rid of iTunes and quicktime as well as other useless detectors. I haven't experienced any problem from meddling with startup programs (though I've played safe and not touched Microsoft ones), this part of MSconfig seems fine.
  12. That is part of the demo page for the google sms service, part of the page displayed. What I'm keen to find out is, is google's https://www.google.com/microsoft or /linux really searching for help stuff on the respective items? because when I tried searching stuff like schools, or whatever it just produced results with schools related to microsoft. Some of the results are within microsoft's website and some are not. Nonetheless this is a very cool service with seemingly dedicated searches to a fixed catergory.
  13. actually such programs take up a lot of time right? Wouldn't it be better to just get a normal job an office job and work over time and get paid over time and get promoted. haha Just my two cetns worth.
  14. There is no mention in the bible of God creating any other intelligent species. And up to now there are no signs of such stuff. The only thing we have done to ourselves is imagine and get self absorbed in useless day dreaming. Hah! let's get practical and down to earth shall we and stop thinking about alien species. We do not need aliens to invade us, we are already killing ourselves. This world needs more love, peace and tolerance as well as moderation.
  15. Dude, I think you have been watching too many movies. I mean lol, I for one do not believe there are other intelligent beings besides us. If there were, we would have detected them or them us long ago. I dont think this world has space for more than one intelligent race.
