There should be lots of data from nasa, its not like they can miss the south pole.
The amount of visible light data available for the South Pole depends on the orbit of the satellite and the data gathered by the satellite.
Incidentally, J-Track - 3D, NASA's realtime Java-based satellite tracker, lists only three LANDSAT satellites in orbit: LANDSAT 4, LANDSAT 5, and LANDSAT 7. Although they are in polar orbits, these three gathered only non-visual data. Information about each of these satellites can be obtained by clicking on "Sat. Info" in the JTrack - 3D window.
When I took a programming class in ANSI C in 1994, we used ANSI C for that very reason: because it embodied more purely the general purpose programming skills that C++, et. al, had added upon.
Oh, and the professor was kind of a purist...
Some children are very precocious. Others take longer to gain their mental abilities... or never gain them. Yet others can understand more than they can effectively communicate, or can give the impression that they can understand more than they really do.
Verstehen Sie?:-)
But under the terms of an agreement, Odyssey will have to share any finds with the British government. The company will get 80 percent of the first $45 million and about 50 percent of the proceeds thereafter.
Potential users include banks, libraries, government agencies and corporations.
I'd say that various economically-well-endowed individuals are also potential users. Paris Hilton might want to be able to store her criminal record on a single disc, for example.
I had exactly that problem for a long time at my last residence. My number was one digit different from a local government fax number and I often had fax machines trying to call me.
When I got a fax call, I activated my fax modem and downloaded the fax, which stopped the offending fax machine from trying to call my number (until the next time). It was kind of funny to receive "private" faxes that were covered with "for internal use only" messages, etc., but it was annoying when the fax machines kept calling back and wouldn't give up until I used the fax modem to receive the calls.
Finally, I got frustrated with the annoyance and sent a fax back to the originating number which indicated that my number was not the one they wanted, etc., repeated several times.
After that, I had no more offending fax calls. YMMV.
I would definitely include the most-creative of the single-player games from the 80s in that list....and some of the multiplayer games from the 80s: although M.U.L.E. was an awesome multiplayer game, however, it wasn't multiplayer in the same way as the multiplayer games nowadays... same for W.O.R.M.S., et. al...

Does Google leadership believe that "Do no evil" [equals] "Obey all laws"?
"Evil" to the western world (generally) and to Americans such as those who run Google (specifically) is likely to be differently defined than "evil" according to the rulers of India.
To retain worldwide acceptance, Google must conform to local laws.
Yeah! Star Control II or a legally permissible version (The Ur-Quan Masters) would make a lot of people very happy! Networking would be a big bonus!
Deus Ex.. retold, using the abilities of the DS. Same game, but with different puzzles/etc. to use the dual-screen nature of the DS.
Project EDEN.;-)
they could also be used by a governments or other entities to 'dust' crowds or areas
I don't think governments/etc. would want to risk the lawsuits and bad reputation they'd get as a result of lawsuits and etc. from health problems caused by miniature RFID tags getting into people's eyes, nose, etc.
I used to teach 5th grade computer class, and please do not underestimate the power of Clippy(tm). I would instruct my students to remove Clippy, as I have done per habit for so long, but they would rebel. I recall at least several classes where Clippy hypnotized my class (and kept them preoccupied and easy to deal with.)
*sniffle* The things 5th graders get to use these days! Why, when I was a lad, we didn't get access to computers until 6th grade, but we learned BASIC programming, darn it! (The school had about four CBM Pet machines with built-in green monochrome CRTs.) There was no Clippy to waste our time!

As long as it's not too distracting...
That would still be pretty good camouflage.

Where is Nebaska? In the USA, I suppose, since the RIAA is "wasting its time"... but the USA is a big place.

Ring around the rosy,
pocket full of posies,
ashes, ashes, we all fail to transmit uncorrupted data....
Ever heard of the IE Tab extension for Firefox? ...if you use Windows, of course. :-)
