While I find this interesting, there's still some lack of information. For example, they claim they will do it by using two transmitters. This of course requires more hardware only to generate destructive interference at the receiver and improve the SNR. However, these two transmitters will generate most likely deep nulls at certain distances from them. The question is, does this really solve the problem, or anyone moving at certain speed is under the risk of hitting all the nulls and not listening to anything. Or Perhaps due to your location, you may cause that destructive interference in the neighborhood of your router/base station.
It would be really interesting to see how do they deal with the problem they created to fix the issue.
Scientifically, there are only three types of rapists:
1. The ones that watch fox news.
2. The ones that stopped watching fox news and now rape in their spare time
and
3. Those that never watched fox news. I can only think this type rapes from outrage after listening that fox news is saying.
Clearly. Fox news is very closely linked to the problem. Moreover, according to their statistics, as Glenn Beck has been going down in ratings, apparently rape is going up. Am I to assume that Glenn Beck was actually keeping rapists at home?
More interestingly. Would if be possible to split the Internet into two. The Google one, and the rest? I would assume that Comcast-NBC merger may help to disconnect people from Google, but what would be a proper retaliation from Google, if is not to set up their own Internet?
Now, I know we are in dreamland, but go figure, maybe Google manages to pull that one out of their hats.
In my old school classes, I remember that population grows exponentially. While I don't expect people to join the hacker community at the same pace, I'd say that if it's linear with a higher slope than sony's lawsuits, it's still very likely their plan will not succeed, as the pool of capable people outside the range of Sony's lawyers may increase faster in the following years.
Well, for starters... Because IE9 is not chrome. But at this pace, I'd say that IE10 is just Chrome in disguise... Those guys in Redmond are brilliant!
While I certainly agree with you up to some point. The problem here is that you're comparing an individual to a production machine. Ask the same to the Japanese from the after-war era, or the Chinese. They copied everything until they got enough insight to start their businesses on their own.
Unluckily, half of what you're saying is right. it will work as long as the smart kid sticks around, or as long as you take over and get an advantage. Sad as it sounds, wasn't that the whole boom of the Japanese cars and technology in the market?
Note that I don't agree with the practice, but it's rather common.
Dude, really? On my only interview I got with a guy from Microsoft I was asked if I knew how to build a boat, when I said no, he said how would I do to build a boat for a customer.
I started to make a list of things I would to to build a boat and then I was asked what would I do if I was asked to have it faster by the customer. My reply was to look into what could wait to be installed later.
All this time I've been questioning what I answered wrong. And It seems clear now (yes, I didn't get into a second interview): The answer is "copy one", "buy one and disassemble it" or "buy one from the company and make it look like it's yours". Darn! I wish I knew this before my interview! I guess thanks go to Google.
BTW, this was more than 6 months ago. But if you tell me you got something for free from Apple (even after signing a 2y contract) I'll believe you that Apple is "dirt cheap".
I got two android devices, an HTC aria and a Samsung captivate plus a credit of $25 from ATT (i.e., not only free, the two phones where free, but I got cash back). I have them on a $15 Internet plan a month, which has been enough for now.
Then you're assuming you have space to do so. Or that people won't park on the street. There are just too many variables. If you want your personal solar powered garage, then go pay for it, you won't get a garage from the same people that sell the cars, because that should be their business, if they wan to hook you up, that's fine. If they want to jump into the design, go ahead. But it demands more than just "put it where it fits".
In addition to it, in mountains just as cable cars work, you can use the energy from the cars going down to power (push or pull) the cars going up. So the power consumption is also reduced and very efficient.
Moreover, for Apple to make people use such technology, must ensure that it will be no easy target of malicious attacks. So attackers can't replicate account information, intercept data communications and whatever mechanism for identity theft.
There's people designing power plugs that provide and receive power, so you can make your car into a power plant and provide electricity to your house.
Because that would also require an installation that may not fit your place? Let's say the front of your house aims north and you live in Seattle. Your house would cover the sun most of the time.
It's a great idea but requires a lot more of planning than just a guy installing an electric plug at your place.
Which makes me wonder why many apartment complexes haven't installed solar panels on top of the carports they rent. At least some of those receiving the most sunlight during a year.
If it is about the market and how well the car will sell, then a coollooking car does indeed has preference among the people.
Despite the fact that the covered wheel may help, I think is an outdated design, and doesn't look as appealing to me as some bad-ass looking BWM or Audis. But then again, some people do actually pick functionality over looks, I just don't think they are a vast majority.
Computers don't do what you want them to do. They do what they are programmed to do. Trying to blame stuff on the computers is always ridiculous. If someone abuses the system and programs the computers to do so, it's not the computer's fault. If someone programs the computer in a broken way, it's also not the computer's fault.
It's like the traditional "let's blame the video games" or "let's blame the drugs", so people can excuse themselves for their stupid behavior.
Just try to add some "sleep" to your iterations. Last time I tried a script to gather information from Google, I was banned from searching for a couple of hours.
Great! Now I have to actually type the full word and hit enter or even worse, click on the freaking search button! Just they way I used to do before I had this annoying instant search./s
A system that alerts you doesn't imply you don't need to pay attention to what you're doing (and I hope for the sake of the US, nobody would start suing every car maker just because).
I recently drove a rented chevy cobalt, and I really didn't like the car that much. But turns out that when the exterior temperature is under about 37F, the car displays a message "Ice possible" on the dash.
It's as easy as that that now I was even more aware of the road. The way I see it, it's very helpful, but I'm pretty sure that someone eventually will hit some patch of black ice and try to sue Chevrolet because they didn't get the message on time.

I'm pretty sure there's already OILv6 out there already. We just need to make the move from OILv4 smoothly but soon.

Nope. Cybercheaters, cybercheaters, cybercheaters, cybercheaters

On the bright side, at least facebook is not a nominee... Yet.

How Apple devices compare to this?

I know at least a couple of guys at the University of Delaware working on it.

Hey! it's 15! that's like... 1111 in binary. But... multiplied by a thousand, which makes it thousand times cooler!
Nah, I'm with you. I have no idea what's the significance of 15000, perhaps it's just a zodiac thing.
Also hackaday.com has some interesting projects about it. So far I remember this one among those trying to make the kinect portable to gather data.
