in-game advertising increased average brand familiarity as much as 64 percent
brand familiarity means almost nothing in that environment. When it comes to AOL, everyone knows the product name but almost everything immediately says "I HATE THOSE BASTARDS!" so there's really no advantage at all to their brand recognition. All people are going to think for in game ads was "oh, those are those jerks flashing distracting crap at me while I was trying to play ______"
It's not that RFID passports are a bad, insecure idea. It's just that they keep hiring complete morons that have no idea what they're doing to work on the systems. You know, kinda like voting machines.
Haven't they used gigantic super magnets to contain (and accelerate) particles on particle accelerators for like...ever? Probably at least 10 years. I mean really, why did it take so long to figure out that that was a good way to keep particles in?
are you kidding me? Output a full screen second monitor style output from your graphics card through the DVI port and into a DVI port on your video capture card. You get full quality re-recording of movies as you watch them from any source or any DVD ever. If people really felt restricted by anything, they'd do that. This hacker just did it to feel special and be famous and piss off big companies, and who doesn't like all that?
are you amish? Not use search engines? I hope you mean use proxies when U use them (cuz with proxies you still create a search record, just they don't know it's you)
EVERYONE has something they've searched for that they don't want anyone finding out about and probably don't want advertisers knowing about especially. I mean really, anything from looking up diseases you might have to really obscure things or trying to find out information that "everyone" knows to something sexual to your purhcase histories to just about anything else. I can't think of any serious internet user who be okay with every search term they've ever typed seen by anyone else in the world at all.
So what kind of processors are in the new one (and the old ones). Are there just tons of basic, high end intel chips in it or is it some that they built not like any other that are unique and diverse to do special jobs? I seriously don't know.
whether it's basic hacks or super high level, new ones that seem godly doesn't really matter actually. It's a big convention that basically says all computer systems are insecure by nature and everything is hackable. Well duh! A bunch of guys get together and show off new ways to remind everyone that computers aren't safe. They might as well be holding a fire isn't safe convention and holding conferences at it where they light random things and fire to prove their point. Ooh, look at me, I can light an entire couch on fire in 3 seconds, I'm so cool! It's the exact same thing at hackers conventions. Lots of people get together and talk about stupid and simple and super complicated and hard ways to do something everyone knows is possible and they pretend like they're the coolest, most special person on earth for it.
Instead of a few people pretending they know what they're talking about, how about we make a panel called "people who play the games" and see what they think of the games. I think that might be a little more effective
I think they should charge fat-ass drivers that are on the road their cell phone while smoking the most. That's a whole lot of idiot in a little bit of car lol. But seriously, your satyrical comment is right. Fatties, smokers, and drinkers are raising my health insurance prices and I'm as healthy as can be!
wait wait wait, what it could really be used for in the US is obviously hinted at in the article:
The practicalities of designing the lens to do this are daunting but not impossible and levitation "could happen over quite a distance".
I mean really, they might as well just have put "finally, we can pick up AOL's headquarters and drop it on the Norton section of Symantec's headquarters" instead of beating around the bush
The smarter a living thing gets, the more likely it is to do something stupid that kills all of them swords then guns then nuclear weapons then synthetic black holes and antigravity, etc. And less cognatively capable but well adapted animals can't build radio towers and spaceships so we'll have to go visit them instead of them visiting us
Well let's see, if you wash your hands with alcohol based waterless cleaners or don't look around enough, your vehicle will shut off or suddenly pull you back in your seat so when they start hitting people and light poles all over America, I'm gonna have to do with: NOBODY will buy one. And there's no way in hell it will become mandatory unless it works 100%, in which case I'd support it.
Oh yes, because Everquest needs something to make it more addictive lol. Obviously they don't think their players are playing enough lol. I think since a lot of the players are older, it won't work as well as with kid games because I'd much prefer collecting rare armor and other viewable wearables in any game I play and I'm 20
I assume that's kinda what this is for. Breaks heal so I can't even think of any other injury or condition where bones just go away and need to be replaced. I mean like if your kidneys get damaged and don't function anymore, you gotta replace em but they do lots of stuff actively. Bones just kinda sit there and make blood cells or whatever. But osteoperosis makes the bones pretty useless for structural support so they should be replaced if it were possible, and hopefully it will be with this new invention
what if they didn't know it was a mistake? I just about crapped myself when I was the $400 off laptop deal a few months ago and I bought one for waaaaaay under what any Acer would cost. Just how low was the price mistake? If it was like $150 for a new, decent PC then yeah, these ppl are idiots but if it was $600 for an $800 machine then I wouldn't think of it as a glitch, I'd think it was another sweet sale, especially if it was at the time of the month/year/quarter that they usually do that kind of a markdown.
if someone modded it to have a large enough solar panel it would go much, much further. Dunno the specs but who knows, maybe from the top to the bottom of California on a sunny day. Seriously, instead of a magic invention that burns the fuel at your city's power plant instead of in your car, why don't they put some solar panels on it to effectively get energy to travel on from "nothing" whenever possible, like whenever the sun's out.
their "power boost on large files" reeeeeally sounds like a compression feature like a very few dialup companies use. Basically you could download a 1 GB file of the letter A over and over in a few seconds on dialup with that compression. Don't most speed tests just download a giant gob of repetetive data? Maybe that's why. Just a theory though, dunno if that's what's up. I do know for certain that Comcast sucks.
Hmm what could go wrong with massive electrical generators and water. And doesn't the wind push things on water when it blows? And aren't there massive waves when there's wind that would prevent the generator from functioning properly? And how are they going to get the electricity to shore?
Along with the other guy's comment, I gotta say InPhase has had a working product out that could hold 500 GB for a loooooong time. Also, the drive used to be $3,000 USD but now it's a little over $18,000. I blame Sony and the PS3 cuz I think it's caused partly by the blue laser shortage cuz some of them use a blue laser (might not be related but who knows) And btw the discs run under $100 each if I remember correctly.
and they also suggest that consumers would benefit from having the actual caffeine content labeled on the beverage.
yeah cuz some ppl like me can have too much and end up in the hospital. I'm super sensitive to it which is made worse from never having it so if I drank a whole monster on an empty stomach, I'd be in big trouble
the point is to have it continously recharge. Like the one they supposedly already perfected that has a generator in the boot sole that generates a decent amount of electricity with every step and has a light, short term buffer battery that's wearable. Seriously I saw it on tech tv before G4 ate it what like 5 years ago? What ever happened to that invention? Maybe I should re-invent it and sell it to them rofl. (btw it probably caused severe foot pain and ankle injuries while running by landing wrong and shocked you continously in the rain lol)
Anyone consider that they set it up on purpose with the intention of getting caught and sued for the overall goal of having nobody trust new sharing sites? Then they knock out the good old current ones and everyone's too scared to go anywhere else. Yes I know that's ridiculous and will never work but I think that's what they're doing.
I'll do you one better and ask...would light hitting a metal and causing electrons to move be the most obvious solar panel ever? Must not be very efficient or they'd be using that already.
Exactly, he even said it's powered by earth's magnetic field in the last article. What an idiot to say it violates the basic laws of energy now. Oh and I suppose magnetic compasses run on magic too and that's why they create their own energy to turn all the time.
But more importantly, wouldn't this like stop the Earth from turning or screw with its magnetic radiation shield effect if everyone builds generators powered this way all over the planet?
