Get it on mainstream media outlet cameras and I *might* believe it.
Fill-flash does not cause the shadow under the craft to be "harder" than a shadow coming from the roof top. It's the same SUN! If I took the time to photoshop the pics, I wouldn't then say. "Yea. You got me. They are fake." Maybe he is just hiding the wheels or something, but it just don't look right.
It's clever to say "These are not the droids you're looking for." but without the Jedi powers behind the statement my Stormtrooper squad is going to detain you and turn you in for a promotion or duty transfer to some tropical system staffed with female Twi'leks.
I imagine that the real practical application of eliminating gridlock and commute time that we all want to see is this scenario. 1. Roll out of my garage onto my street/airstrip. 2. Get flight clearance and take off. (In the same amount of time it takes me to buckle up and select this morning's soundtrack.) 3. Fly to my work's airstrip and park. 4. Depending on the technology state
- Plug in to charge up the batteries
- Fold up plane into my briefcase like GeoJet. (my preference is BOTH in reverse order)
I can't count the number games that I have played in my gaming career that *had* to be reset due to corrupted saved game files or the world state was horked.
Or a failsafe backdoor that allows customer support to reset the world state. Otherwise they will have a support nightmare with the associated cost of refunds. Soon the customer support reset method will leak out into the wild and "ta-da" second hand sales will not be a problem.
Now we know why Microsoft paid that price for Skype. They have a new cash cow gov't contract. The purchase by MS (or similar big corp capable of supporting large gov't contracts) may have even closed the Skype deal for Congress. Surely, Congress is most comfortable with the known entity vs. the unknown. (...and don't call me Shirley.)
The clause in the development deal was solely intended to protect Microsoft intellectual property from falling into the hands of someone non-MS approved. Microsoft put a lot of money and other resources behind NVIDIA when they needed a hardware partner for the first Xbox console. All of those detailed API and design specs are archived somewhere at NVIDIA.
This is not an alarm that NVIDIA is being shopped around for purchase. IMHO they are doing too well and worth too much to be folded into another company.
We just had a Supreme Court decision that allows for citizens to record police while performing their duties. This technology flies in the face of police accountability. To turn a routine line back on the orginators "If you(police) are doing nothing wrong, then you(police) have nothing to worry about."
Whatever method is used to disable/block the IR signal from effecting the camera, it must be on by default. Let's be honest, the most useful videos ever recorded are done so because the user has a camera easily accessible. From Rodney King to Epic Beard Man. Videos shot, spur of the moment have been the citizens most useful tool to establish fact from what appears in other reports.
I own one and when I corporate traveled it was my constant companion.
The most significant advantage is that the physically small and compact machine that runs your full desktop. Plug it into the docking station and...abracadabra... you have full size monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Travel without the docking station? You can still use the tiny dongle to attach to ethernet and VGA while using the USB keyboard mouse. Battery life SMOKES most smartphones I have owned since 2007.
I can't say it applies to all Ultras, but I still use my Fujistu for the occasional travel.
Any good surveillance methods have backups, I guess.
For what it's worth I don't think this is going to be stopped.
Even if the Supreme Court says any evidence gathered this way can't be used in court, police will still use these techniques to develop a "habit profile" on a suspect. Then fall back on more conventional techniques of tracking to disclose any useful discoveries. "I had a hunch your honor so I followed them and witnessed them."
Amen to that. I figured that I should probably get a Facebook account once....wait for it...
my mother had one. Oof. It's great for sharing pics of her granddaughter with her and the rest of the family. Not to mention finding old friends. For old co-workers you should be using LinkedIn. Never mix business with pleasure, unless you are posting to/. at work.
RIght. I doubt this low level "hacker" was working alone. He most likely has a boss or at least partners that would none to happy that he is in a situation to squeal.
This is not an attempt by Microsoft to co-op and then take over Windows Phone 7 apps that their employees develop. Microsoft wants WP7 apps to be developed and get to the consumer thus promoting the WP7 os and devices. Everyone know that the combination of devices ability and available apps are going to decide the smartphone os wars.
Usually, any MS employee would be hamstrung by the blanket IP policy, which is narrow enough that a novel would not be covered, but any Windows realated code would. The new policies rally the MS troops with deepest access to WP7 source with incentive to develop specifically for the platform. Also, worth a mention is the fact that app approval process will be greased by MS 30% interest. The resulting apps will have a much better chance of making it to the consumer.
Easy solution is to establish the demarcation line and hold fast. Don't friend coworkers and the boss on Facebook just network them on Linkedin. Then how will my employer know if I bash them or not? If they get into what I say to a private group then that is overstepping the relationship.
The summary and TFA refer to smuggling cell phones which is techincally correct. It is currently a crime for inmates to possess a cell phone and it is a crime to provide an inmate with a cell phone.
However, the proposed bill/law would make is a crime for ANYBODY to possess a phone inside of a California Department of Corrections facility. This is a huge difference for prison employees. Guards, nurses, adminstrators, maintainence, possibly even delivery drivers will not longer be allowed to carry personal cell phones.
We can agree that this is a problem. The soilution is up for debate. Employees and everyone entering a facility are already subject to TSA type searches, but personal cell phones are allowed. Even if they "banned" personal cell phones, I'm sure they would still get through just like the mass quantities of commercial alcohol and illicit drugs.
The most effective measure would be to install cell phone jammers in the facilities. Keep the human element out of the equation.
I think the point that law enforcement is trying to make is that finding you is easier than you think. Win-Win for both sides because the FBI gets to look savvy and Anonymous is required to step up their game.
Let's examine the secondary revenue stream the came from publishing Strategy Guides as one of the causes of death.
Whether published in-house or by another company these guides cost around the same price as the game itself. At least one puzzle in a game was solved with such convoluted logic that completing the game required the purchase of the Strategy Guide or knowing someone who did.
I could be wrong, but I sure felt like it was part of a larger consipiracy to force me to shell out another wad of paper route money if I wanted to complete the game.

Glad to see this already modded up to 5,Insightful. I don't have to lament my lack of mod points this morning.
Thank You Big Tobacco!

Wouldn't we class these "tools" as "snake-oil" or psuedo-science by today's standards? Can we really say were tools at all?
