I work on this system and as it says in the article you quoted, they are not actually "replacing" traditional radar. We still very much use Radar but the GPS-like system (it is not the same as the GPS in your car) allows us to position planes even closer to each other to allow more planes to share the same amount of space.
In addition, the current plans (including about the next 10 years) are all about making the current human air traffic controllers more efficient and reliable and the systems are all still based around human interactions which I really don't see changing anytime soon.
It benefits the country because a part all of that money spent on MS products goes towards the GDP and taxes.
Although Red Hat is based in the US, they don't make the kind of profits that MS does and thus don't contribute to the economy as much.
You are all looking at it the wrong way. Think of the all those children who are having picture books read aloud by their kindergarten teachers! They are having a society of piracy ingrained at such a young age! We must arrest all the teachers immediately for the sake of the children.
Hmmm... My Treo stops working whenever the I put my hand over the antennae or point the antennae downwards. Thus I am safe from this effect 1/2 the time! Woot! Damn I need a new phone.
My grandfather was involved in the naming of both of these rather large Japanese companies as a VP when they were trying to cross over to the U.S. and I have heard the stories hundreds of times so I figured this is a good venue to share them.
Panasonic (Originally Matsushita) actually got the name of their company from a review of one of their speaker systems. The article said that they had great "all around sound." All around translates to pana and sound translates to sound.
Epson (Originally Seiko) made a small printer named the EP-101 which was the worlds first compact, lightweight digital printer. My grandfather found large demand in it in the U.S. so they needed to create a new name to use(Seiko is a watch corp in the US). He told them the story about how Panasonic came about the name and left on a flight back stateside.
When he got back, he had a message waiting already and they told him that they were naming it Epson. He told them that is a horrible idea because people would confuse it with epsom salt. They told him it was his fault because it was his idea and explained that they were naming it based on their first product sale like panasonic did. So the name comes from "son of EP" to the more consumer friendly Epson.
I agree with everything said particularly about the SecureGrip project. In the Netforce book series by Tom Clancy, each agent has a special ring that they wear on their hand. And all guns will only fire if a valid ring is within a certain distance of the gun. I think that this will be the way of the future. Although it does not protect against stolen rings/guns, in the case that an officer drops his gun while fighting, the enemy cannot just pick it up and shoot.

Trying to sail with no wind can be a problem too... I recommend that you get that fixed.
You actually can have your cake and eat it too. If you had bothered to search for "office 2007 file menu" you would find dozens of add ons that enable you to have a file menu AND the new UI. When I first got 2007 this was pretty much the first thing I did to help the learning curve(although I ended up rarely using it). I have a hunch that someone who doesn't have the time/expertise to do a quick search for an add-on probably won't be using the old menus style much either
I recently graduated from Penn State and the real problem lies with the fact that the people in charge of discipline action have no idea what they are doing. They are not special tech administrators but instead send you to the Judicial affairs office for violations. I had my internet turned off for 2 weeks and could have gotten a disciplinary action from the school (such as suspension, expulsion, etc) because someone had apparently downloaded the shareware version of Dreamweaver from me. Yes I am talking about the 30 day trial. Until you get administrators that understand technology, you cannot be effective in this fight against student rights.
I was born in DC and have lived right outside of it my whole life. When I hear about gun freedom advocates, all I can think of is the ruling over the summer to end a very successful campaign against bearing handguns within DC.
I have no problem leaving the choice on guns up to the states(or in this case districts). What I don't understand is how someone can say that letting MORE people in DC legally carry handguns is going to result in less deaths. I will agree that maybe it will allow some to fight back but if someone is holding a gun to your head the right thing to do is not to pull out your own but pull out your wallet/car keys/ etc and just go along and no one gets hurt.
I challenge you to show me an example where someone having a gun has actually saved lives (I am not talking about exchanging one mans life for another but an example that resulted in no lives or health lost altogether). I just don't see how two men, one good, one bad, both carrying is going to bring about a good solution.
I work very hard and like to give something back to those that are less fortunate (intelligence is largely inherited) than me.
I work very hard and don't believe that sending criminals to jail is going to help them or us in the future (paying for their stay in jail is costly and ineffective).
I work very hard and have never had the need to use a gun to protect what I've worked for.
And I would rather not have more guns out there to go into the hands of the criminals that would like to take what I've worked for.
I think that Ellen says it best... "The way I see it... If you need both of your hands for whatever it is you're doing, then your brain should probably be in on it too."
I believe you are missing something in your argument. I agree with what you said but the government agent actually LOST the camera, someone FOUND it on a train and then sold it on ebay.
Your first 2 examples, road capacity surveys and road congestion could as easily be done and is already being done using anonymous data without figuring out who it is because that doesn't matter.
As for the Service fleet owners and car renters, most of these already deploy the use of GPS to track their vehicles and optimize solutions.
And you idea of congestion pricing makes no sense. Charge someone for using there car to go a total of 1.5 miles divided in 3 trips a fee but do not charge someone driving hundreds of miles at a time? The latter is the one using more of the service so obviously should be the one paying.
Yes the government owns the roads but they also own tons of services that people get free everyday. Think of a rest area with water fountains and bathrooms. Now picture some big guy standing at the door demanding you pay $5 to go number 1 and $20 to go number 2. I mean its in their right because they own it right?
I don't know about in Germany, but here in the US a CO2 powered gun is considered a firearm. I have had personal experience with this when playing paintball in the woods near (within hearing range of) some houses.
Some lady called the cops and they came in with guns and ended our game. They told us that it was against the law to use "firearms in a residential area" but ended up just taking our pictures (in case there was paintball vandalism in the future) and giving us a warning.
It still makes my heart beat fast thinking of the day when I am playing a GAME and two cops come up behind me pointing pistols at my head yelling "Put the gun down!"

The real question is, how much do you trust this OS not to have an NSA back door?
This was my first thought after seeing the title. Don't see any other way that the NSA would recommend an OS unless they get something out of it.

Actually there are add-ons available to bring the old file menu style back in addition to the ribbon. I know there are some free ones around because I downloaded one months ago, but heres a link to one that has a trial/buy. http://www.pcworld.com/article/130635/office_2007_addon_adds_back_classic_menus.html
