According to Comcast's policy, I can't use my webcam to communicate with family if my shirt is off because my fat and hairy upper half is considered objectionable by many. I definately can't get away with sending pictures of myself at the beach to friends.
"Google's proposed acquisition of DoubleClick will give one company access to more information about the Internet activities of consumers than any other company in the world" Now wait a minute. If logic serves me correctly, there is always ONE company that has more information about the Internet activities of consumers than any other company. What would be odd is if all companies had the same amount of information about Internet activities. If he meant to say that Google will have a virtual monopoly, that would make more sense to me. However, it would be completely untrue. Only a small percentage of all Internet activities go through any one provider.
If you actually read through the FDA docket, you will see that it's about reducing the amount of regulation currently in place. They admit to not being able to keep up with advancements in food technology and essentially acting as a barrier to innovation. It loosens standards across the board and says nothing specific about chocolate.
The article suggests a number of ways to modify product installations so that they work on Vista. It failed to mention that most commercial software EULAs do not allow you to modify the product in any way. Modifying the installation would be breaking the EULA in most cases.
I am curious as to how many non-religious individuals do not believe in evolution. That might indicate how many people are not familiar with the theory.
My hat is off to Core Systems. This takes a lot of dedication as needles in the BSD haystack are very small indeed. I'm curious as to whether this was found by protocol fuzzing.
One further note. This company does not provide single photon technology. It is very unlikely but still possible to eavesdrop on the conversation if the quantum communication uses more than one photon per bit of data as they do. Single photon technology is still in the works.
You cannot theoretically tap a quantum communication. You have to alter the photon stream in order to measure it.
This is more of a quantum transport than quantum encryption. It guarantees that noone can eavesdrop on the communication. Combined with conventinal authentication, it can provide a very secure and authenticated communication channel.
What ever happened to turning off the water and draining the pipes? Where you actually thinking of keeping the house heated the entire time you are gone?
For break ins and fire, just get a security system.
How can you be sure that the vote isn't being stolen? The vote only has to be stolen once before an evil individual has the power to manipulate all future votes. It would also be in the victor's interest to make it appear as if votes were not being manipulated.
The article title is a good example of sensationalism. They think it had to be something catchy in order for us to deem it read worthy. I agree, apples to oranges.
How does the ability to distribute some of your computing mean that other types of computing are deprecated. If anything, distributed computing doesn't take away from centralized computing but augments it. In fact, I would expect an increase in distributed computing to require even more centralized infrastructure to maintain the network.
You need to ask for a user's consent before installing this type of software. How could you install it without asking the user or providing a EULA and not break the law? Would a warrant allow someone to install spy software on your computer? I guess so since this might be the same as bugging your house or wiretapping.
Open source software, it's easy to find and it can been downloaded and evaluated on the spot. When looking through commercial software I get frustrated with the difficult to search marketing material, the lack of fully functional downloads, and limited documentation before purchase. Open source, on the other hand, can be easily found by searching sites that do a lot of the indexing work for you such as SourceForge.net and all the documentation is readily available as plain text or HTML. Obviously, this does not apply to all commercial and open source software. I've seen a lot of good and bad on both sides.
Since when is asking someone if they would like to install ad software during installation called peddling? This is legit. Slashdot supports itself in part by ads and they don't even ask me first. Peddling?

It's a shipping lane dude. Google directions aren't just for driving anymore.
I agree that computer players have a number of advantages. I would not characterize these as thinking or any type of intelligence however.

The cockroach carrying the microphone and camera could in turn be carried to the fence by a pigeon. :)

The combination of these robot chassis with a Real Doll would be perfect! www.RealDoll.com
Colbert should copyright it, wait until everyone is using it, and then sue any politicians he doesn't like for rights infringement! :)

Alas, where is Kiki Stockhammer when you need her.

So what do I need for this one, a quad processor? :)
