Well, it appears to be the US law, and not only about women. Or is it suicide legal already in all the US?
On this topic, the government is supposed to take care of its citizens and thus I find the freedom of killing yourself and the duty of the government preventing me from killing a citizen, well, conflicting.
They way I interpret the GP is that computers, tv, books, guns are tools. Like some pliers. You may get to use it properly and pull stuff out, or you can use it to hammer nails or even twist nipples. While hammering stuff may still be constructive, twisting nipples being a usage of the pliers may just not be the best one and even harm people.
Now, you can say also that books are hindering education if you focus on comics and porn magazines and leave novels, science fiction and history books on the side. There should be a proper analysis of the data based on supervised usage. You don't leave your 10 yo kids watching horror movies or porn (if you're a fairly good parent), but you expect that computers don't bring this kind of information to your kids eyes?
On top of that, there's many "fun" pages to visit that may distract you from your original goal, such as: this case. The problem with computers, as I see, is their versatility. They can be widely used for several purposes and parenting becomes relevant to verify and follow up on kids work.
Also note that the person may have purchased your laptop unaware that it was stolen.
A person who purchased the laptop from someone, and it's not aware of it, shouldn't be checking your email account, unless he knows it and it's planning to return it. Opening your mail client 4 times seems suspicious to me.
In any case, if you could get to login to your computer and use it as proxy you could probably use firefox to determine your approximate location, or simply download a hell lot of movies/music and wait for the RIAA/MPAA to do the rest. Unluckily, I'd guess it's probably behind a NAT, or may have no remote services enabled.
Might as well have an "Alexander Graham Bell" and a "Thomas Alba Edison" sections then.
There's a hardware section and a mobile section already, why not removing the only trademark from the list, and add software and Network (Internet) sections.
For those of you complaining about "Linux" may change it for POSIX and everyone's happy.
What they probably need is a better voting system that properly ranks applications. If people is looking for the "best farting-sounds application" that what should be returned based on people's experiences and application ranking. It's not like Google doesn't know how to do search and ranking.
If you're logged in to you gmail account, Google provides you with results closer to the ones you've previously look for. For example, searching for an acronym with different meanings seem to return different results depending on who's searching for. Same occurs based on location. Google yourself from different accounts and you may see the variations among the results.
Well, if they keep losing money, poor little creatures, even with the most successful movies. Why do they keep having money and wasting it making movies? They deserve an Oscar for their performance, and possibly a bailout too!
or example, can measure RTTs to under a microsecond, even if connectively to the time server is lost for over a week!
Let's see... with connectivity loss over a week, that makes around a 604800000000us RTT plus or minus some error. If you don't trust your clock, and it's important to you, why would you leave it without connectivity for over a week?
I wonder if ticketmaster will see on this the opportunity: since there are no printed tickets, there is no paper or shipping fees or the "print at home fee"... would they charge the ecological-anti counterfeit fee now? I don't like their tricks but I also haven't found anyone else that provides the tickets I look for.
Some stuff was properly working before. I wonder what drives them into changing stuff for worse.
My 3G (old, I know) is now slower than ever and applications crash constantly. The iBook application takes about a minute to open and load. They crippled the GPS data that safari provides through their own geolocation API, using only AGPS, which of course provides really bad accuracy and doesn't update often.
So the question here is. If they had a working product, why would they change for worse.
This episode only reminds me Windows Vista. But I least I had the chance to go back to XP. Here, my 3.xx is long gone.
As the summary claims: it may fix it. For what is worth, I noticed that the Geolocation API through safari doesn't work unless you have the WiFi on. It seems like they either crippled the device or something they may as well fix. Possibly not the only thing to fix from the first release of iOS 4.
Well, my 3G has never been a good cellphone. They may as well disable the phone antenna, and get rid of both, customers complaining and Nokia suing. That's win-win!
I agree with the E Series. My gf has an E75, it charges really quick and the battery last way longer than the iPhone. As any other phone, you'll have a steep learning curve at the beginning but it's a really nice device once you get used to its options.
In fact, PostgreSQL evan has types for location, areas, polygons, which are quite useful. To present the data SVG could be used and add reference points relevant to your location (city hall, main office, etc), so you can avoid Google or Bing APIs.
I agree with you that the tough problem is acquiring the GPS data and the means to transmit it to the central database.
I followed F1 for sometime also, and I also know that many limitations are imposed to reduce the top speed and sometimes acceleration of the vehicles.
1. Rules enforce fairness among the competitors. If your team cannot afford some technology then better limit the spread of such.
2. Rules enforce safety of the competitors and observers. If they reach 600mph on a track your car better: A. hold the pieces together so observars are not killed with flying parts and B. Make a small attempt to keep the driver alive. Since both are quite hard a high speeds, they are limited by other means (tires, turbos, air intake sizes, etc).
But I wonder now, could that be another reason why automobile industry is not going a step further? Should it be there some RDF1 (Remotely Driven F1) but then, who would watch that?
I remember the HTC Fuze, when it came out it had a full VGA (480-by-640-pixel) resolution 2.8-inch LCD. Wouldn't be not only fair, but also interesting to compare to other brands in the market? I mean from the scientific perspective?
Subsidies?
Why do I have to pay more for other cellphones on my carrier (AT&T) just because they allow doing more stuff, and even more if they are unlocked? Of course people want what "they bought and do whatever they want", they just don't want to pay $600 more for that "feature". While I have an iPhone (company paid), my gf recently bought a Nokia E75 unlocked with some incredible discount from dell.com, I'll follow as soon as my company doesn't pay for the iPhone anymore, that's a great and reliable device.

He said "put a line under"... smartass or not, it was done properly and the ambiguity of the teacher shouldn't be reflected punishing the student.
When teachers ask you if an odd number can be divided by two... what's your answer?

Combining email with IP-over-GSM is simply combining two existing technologies
Like a screen and a mouse pad and call it a touch screen? The patent system needs to be reviewed.

I guess the cool part is the robots. The other one appears to be history repeating.
Apple will also be releasing this new accessory.
I suspect the optimization problem was aimed to maximize beauty, and they neglected the antenna on the equation :)
You need to stop criticizing already! These are magical devices and need to be properly held.

If your app doesn't have a compelling reason to keep executing (like streaming audio, getting GPS updates for navigation, etc.)
May that be the reason why they seemed to cripple the geolocation API for web applications?
