umm... no you put this inside cargo container, and it will attach itself and then sniff around for contraband, etc. The idea is that this will replace current methods, such as drug sniffing dogs, external scanners, and heartbeat monitors. Nothing in there says you build these into cargo containers. Heck, one of these is probably worth more than 100 cargo containers.
Exactly, and those utilities are usually billed based on usage.
Unless ISPs convert over to a $ per bit pay plan, removing the cap will only benefit the small amount of mass downloaders and make the internet less usable for everyone else.
From TFA: "Despite this," he admits, "anyone with a fast pull shot usually sneaks it past, so more improvements on the reaction-time front are definitely necessary before the computers are ready for the big leagues."
There will always be strategies players can use against computers in games like these, too difficult for the programmers to think of every possibility ahead of time.
Beating the system does not take skill, but simply finding an exploit.
Example from Starcraft: early on, send a single drone to attack their base, the computer will immediately send all their resource gatherers to attack your single drone, thus stopping his advancement. Repeat until you have an army to kill the computer. Cheesy, but even a novice SC player can beat the AI that way.
Hey, just focusing on space doesn't mean it isn't okay to spend a very small amount of extra resources for cultural values. I actually like to hear about things like this since it tells me that those NASA people aren't just a bunch of people who distains everything on earth and thinks only space is worthy of their attention.
This makes me wonder, if a blind guy and his guide is out in the woods, they aim the gun at a deer and somehow ends up hitting and killing another hunter. Who is responsible? The guide or the shooter?
This could be a hell of a way to kill someone and lay the blame on the blind guy pulling the trigger.

I tend to use a privacy filter on all my laptops anyway and that tends to reduce the glare by a bit.
On the contrary, they need to make the women no longer fear a Slashdotter's smell from lack of good hygiene.
