On other words, what you're saying is that if it had been a GOOD camera, they would have caught the criminals. What I see in these complaints (and the ones in the article) is that putting phony crap cameras doesn't do any good. Well, duh.
What he's saying, ass, is that there CAN NOT be enough cameras to do any good! There will always be a hiding spot for foul deeds. All these cameras do, in his opinion, is bore the people that man them. He then recomends using armed police who could do something if they saw, or heard it. Duh yourself.
Oh wait, it's Reality Master 101, I've been trolled.
You are correct, liquid hydrogen is not as practical a fuel right now.
Public concern has been so missdirected. Airplane fuel, crypto, nuclear power plants, give me a freaking break! It's like all the anti-technology trolls are having a field day with the national press. There is no way to think of all of the devious things people can do, and no way to block them all without crippling eveyone's ability to do anything.
Wanna kill lots of people? Let's see, how can we do that? How about blowing up a train load of chlorine tanks in a major urban area? How about a distributed fire bomb attack? A few timers and gassoline containers placed here and there over a few months can light up something that no one could stop. How about hijacking a truck load of fuel and another full of fertilizer? Drive it into a tunnel, into a parking garage, a crowded football stadium and boom. Why not break a gas main in the food court of a very large mall? Then there are the traditional targets, dambs and what not. Hey, that was easy, all the gaurds were at the airport waiting for yesterday's strike.
What are you going to do about it? Stop making plastics? Outlaw possesion of more than ten gallons of fuel? Make farmers go back to manure? Fuel everything with liquid hydrogen? Why not safe and dependable rubberband power? Right.
Cool, I've got plenty of gas close to my belt! Co -workers have always complained, but now I can tell them it's for the company. Gassoline powered stuff kinda scarged me.
Now, go talk to your little sister about how she's going to have to go with out her poppy boy band shit for a while.
What 14 year old girl isn't using some online music source for their music needs these days?
I have not seen any at the music store in the mall lately.
...my hands start peeling due to dryness in the winter, and it soon came to the point that the system wouldn't let me in. This wouldn't have been a problem except that I was usually the first one to work in the morning, and was getting locked out.
Locked out, standing in the cold, your hands getting dryer and less likely to work the next day. Oh my!
We use a hand and plastic card system here for entry. It seems to work well. Key numbers work where there is no card reader or if you forget your card. The hand readers themselves tollerate changes in my hands from exercising, but not gloves, and are speedy. This might not work for a laptop, but it's tops for building entry.
This is just more of the same propaganda, every bit as misleading as the RAND euphemism. From their extension letter:
The W3C and the Patent Policy Working Group represent a diverse range of opinions. This includes those who feel that all W3C Recommendations should be Royalty-Free, and those who believe that paying Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory (RAND) fees to implement W3C
Recommendations is sensible and even productive policy.
W3C recognizes that a Royalty-Free environment was essential to the growth of the Web, and the contributions of the open source developer community have been critical to its success. W3C also recognizes that software patents exist (and patent issues have become more revalent with the growth of the Web), and ignoring them will do more harm than good. W3C is working hard to reach consensus in an area where there is an obvious tension, and to strike a balance among diverse interests.
Is compromise possible here? No it is not, you either do or you don't base your standards on royalty free methods or you don't. I'd like them to show the harm done, and ask the company in question why they insist on causing such harm.
So which group is in control?
A RAND license is common among standards organizations.
Everyone is doing it, why shouldn't we? Nice logic, but hardly expected from a standards body. Shame! Re read the Cox letter, and let them have it.
Drop the e. Why bother calling it email, when it should be looked on as mail like any other post? The sooner people stop thinking of their personal correspondence by computer as something different, new and disposable, the sooner they will demand privacy for their mail.
Five billion people need food. Since the typical North American lifestyle involves eating large amounts of meat every week, if 5 billion people had a North American lifestyle, you would need to raise enough cattle or pigs or whatever to feed them all meat. Moreover, all those cattle and pigs would need to be fed enough until they were ready for slaughter. (This is why meat-eating takes an unfair share of the world's food supply.) There is not enough arable land in the entire world to achieve that. QED.
What a relief! Here I was thinking that everyone had to live in Texas. We could reserve the rest of the world for the 125 billion pigs needed for lunchon meats, but I prefer places like Nevada. All the arable land in places like Kansas can continue to be used to grow grain. There really is enough land to feed those folks, if it were used corectly. But the relief is that some of the world's population will have to look after the pigs and grain. We are saved and don't have to all live in Texas. Who is Qed?
Man's limits and suffering are imposed by ignorance alone. The universe is infintely large, and infinitly abundant. The answer is NOT to cut the nuts off educated people, or anyone else.
Oh, the software! I thought XP could read my mind and phone home about it.
Really though, do you think the company that has yet to embrace multiple virtual screens and mice with three buttons properly, will ever use this? Sure, the prototype uses Win95 (at least they knew better than to use MS for web stuff. quoth the page, "meta name="GENERATOR" content="Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; SunOS 5.7 sun4u) [Netscape]"") Will MS really pick it up and make it available with their GUI? I think not. Xfree86 will beat them to real and invovative uses for the interface by years!
Kudos to Hollar et al. This is a cool glove. MJ wants to know if you have one with rhine stones.
This type of advertising only frustrates users and creates animosity between advertiser and potential customer.
I've heard that some people pay to be abused, humiliated and embarassed. What better way to get all of that than to have your six year old daughter open one of these sites in front of your wife who never thought well of that internet thingy?
It's a joke. I hate spam, porn and this Zuchinni loser.
Still, for reasons posted above, I worry about this shutdown. Should the govenment shutdown web sites that simply take advantage of a crummy browser on a single crappy OS, and thus give official government protection to those products?
I've only been using Mozilla for a week or so, but I'm impressed, and imagine this is not a problem. Featurs such as right click, "block this image" to kill add.doubleclick.whatnot are very cool. It looks good and works great. Java is back on and I don't fear it will be able to replace system files. Blocking images is tricky, but I've been seeing fewer adverts and more real content. Bassed on that, I imagine the fix is already in and this is an M$ specific problem.
That makes the implications worse. Does this mean that anything that makes MSIE do unexpected things can be shut down by the Feds? As M$ careens further and further into it's own little propriatory world, who's to say they won't put up yet more "standards" that make innocent sites look bad to M$ users, who then pull their hair out and curse the site. Is this an old pattern emerging again?!
I've heard that M$'s crappy software was powerful, but this is too much.
High consumption of porn is due to "unnatural desires"?
Let's see, what did I say. Oh yes, "unhealthy attitutdes breed unatural desires and suckers willing to pay for it." Porn is an unnatural channeling of desires, a perversion. Societies that don't know how to deal with sex are unhealthy, and it's members tend to consume porn. Interacting with real people instead of paying for imaginary friends is much more healthy. It's hard to force the bizare things depicted in porn onto real people. People who pay for porn are losers and suckers.
let alone that the planet isincapable of supporting 6 billion 'NorthAmerican lifestyles'.
There is enough space for five billion people to live in an average American suburb in the state of Texas alone. The world is large.
As you don't think there's enough for all of those folks, what do you want them to do? Do propose that every one in the world give up potable water, adequate diets, health care, sanitary housing and public entertainment? I think we should continue to teach people, who have not, how to make things for themselves.
Don't be afraid. Many countries have eliminated the more offensive kinds of advertising most Americans endure daily. In fact, communities in the US have done the same. Nothing drastic happened, and people feel more not less free.
Public space can be regulated by the public. A sign on the door is reasonable, a 60 foot tall billboard on the interstate is not. What people do to make the interiors of their homes and places of work ugly is their own problem. What people do to make the world at large oppresivly ugly is our problem. It's that simple, your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. What kind of ass is it that would put up a billboard in a residential area? Have I violated YOUR rights by saying that you can not urinate on my front yard? Billboards are offensive, and should be outlawed. Yes, you can tell people not to paint outrageous things on the side of their building, and you have not violated their rights.
As yarn pointed out, you are not sure what "unsolicited" means. Opt in means that the user sends a message requesting "information", and comercial junk does not flow without such a request.
The spammers are right in that it's something of an abridgement of freedom.
You don't have the freedom to yell in my ear. You don't have the freedom to piss in the public well. Spammers do both of these things by abusing a public network. The EU has the right idea.
The quickest way to ruin your company's reputation is to spam people.
Does Intel's 90% dominance disturb anyone else? It's a good thing that there is competition within that 90%. Oh well, this user will probably continue to buy cheap AMD mobos.

GPS Meets PCS
·
· Score: 2
I'd like a big switch on the phone to turn it on. Otherwise, I don't want it. When it comes time to choose between this and not having a cell phone, the gadget may lose.
Some half measures may include: leaving the cell phone home; unplugging the battery; trading out phones with my wife and friends.
Legislation will be difficult here. No one needs a freaking cell phone, much less one with GPS, so complaints will be lost on the general public. Right now, people are willing to give up their credit reports (periodically, not just as a check on purchase!) and social security number to get one of these gadgets. It may be possible to force providers to behave in return for spectrum rights, but we see how well public service laws have done in TV and radio. Elements of the government itself have an interest in tracking people, and they have the upper hand right now. They will be getting a big helping hand from big corps like On Star. What a nightmare.
The reality is that this does not really help people find you when you need it. Think about it. If you are aware of your problem, you can call for help and tell where you are. If you are not and no one knows that your are in trouble, who's going to bother to look for you? Your wife? Hopefully, she knows where you were going and help will be on the way anyway. In practical terms, very little extra security is gained for a massive loss of privacy. I could live with that if I could turn it off.
Basing your standards on patented methods will fragment the web and destroy your organization. If you succeed in forcing such debased standards on the web, your corporate masters will no longer need you. If you fail, you will be irrelevant. Either way W3C loses.
Ignore Greek Mythology and you will not be able to recognize testosterone as Ares, and the rest of the modern scientific pantheon will escape your grasp. Ignore American History and you will not know freedom.
Ignore liberal learning and you will be a simple tool. People with degrees are looked on as leaders, you had better learn what that means while you can. Do you really know what other people want out of life? Have you thought about what you want out of life? Money, mentioned in every one of your sentances, is not a very good answer. If you don't figure these things out now, other people will have an advatage over you. Think about how that will work with your career.
Don't think that you can lock yourself in a room and get things right. Some intersting self educated folks I can think of are Adolf Hitler (he thought like you too, hated French!), and the Unibomber (ended up hating everyone). Peer checks are important, and a good teacher's guidance is invaluable.
Find courses where you can express yourself honestly and recieve honest criticism. Propaganda classes ARE worthless. Classes that teach you how to analyze things and present them to others are valuable. Classes that force you to understand and catagorize unfamiliar ideas are useful. It will serve you and your friends later.
Well, according to an article I read about a year ago, large corporations were some of the largest vendors of porn! GM, Disney and others all had their fingers in the pot selling filth over cable TV at hotels and such. Nasty. The funny thing is that places with the most represive laws, like Utah, had the highest porn consumption. Go figure, unhealthy attitutdes breed unatural desires and suckers willing to pay for it. Don't discount the possiblity of these enterprising investors putting their product in an easy to find and restricted domain.
Still won't clean up the rest of the net. Only a proven lack of demand will do that. Too bad there's a new one born every minute.
I think we can also be sure that the kind of W3C members working this little agenda have plans. I would bet on "Windows digitally-protected noncopyable web pages" being one of them. Of course the protection they really mean is "against reading by non IE users".
Said after pointing out the secretive and rule violating manner this happened and rightly snearing at how this will contribute the purpose of the organization, interoperability. His prediction:
This would mean SVG became a multi-vendor consortium pushing a private specification. But let's face it - with the patents involved - that is precisely what it is.
And so the internet becomes TV as all are shoved out to be replace by three or four big broadcasters. Can it happen? Sure it can, just look at all the empty TV and radio spectrum. There is no technical or real economic reason the airwaves are filled with nothing but comercial noise or static. It's a problem with bad laws.

Train it to recognize your toe prints. They change less than your finger prints, and anyone who would steal your foot will have to smell it all day.
