I think your efforts are in vain. You are way more likely to have some thug just break the door down or smash a window. Usually the people that break into your house do not have the foresight to plan to this degree.
I think that a more valuable use of resources would be to recyle the tinfoil sitting on your head.
He's talking about a folding machine, and it would truly be a great invention. Just dump in the laundry and out comes a folded pile. Bonus if it sorts socks!
For me, work comes first. If there is alot of stuff going on, I might not even look at/. all day. Most days there are natural breaks in the day that I use to surf the web. Some days things just run smoothly.
I don't know if this is a joke or not, but if not, how would you read the schematics without the device to read the media that the schematics are stored on?
That's not what he is saying at all. To use the road example, he is asking to drive on the road with as big as a vehicle as possible as often as he wants. I am not aware of any usage limitations on roads. I've never been told, "sorry, you have driven too much today, go home for a bit".
We know that our precious cable is shared with the neighbours, and we can't exceed the maximum posted speed for our internet connections (or even reach it). Your analogy sucks.
Really? I think Mars would suck. No internet (or high latency). Few other people & no privacy. It's not like you would be free to roam the planet. You would be stuck in a living chamber. I think it would suck. bad.
Yes, a lightbulb conroller. Lets keep the lingo with the networking world and call it a "switch". We could give it a nice simple human interface and place it on the wall, about chest height. Perhaps one per room. Then all users would have to do is go to the light panel and "switch" on the light. I like where this is going.
Why would anyone want to have a light bulb with a data connection? Oh the switch to the bathroom? Go to the computer, click file --> power --> lights -->bathroom. Select lights 1, 2, & 3. Click enable, then confirm. Got that?
I agree 100%. I bought my xbox a year ago and havn't played a game on the PC since. When I buy a game I just want to sit and play it. I don't want to muck with settings.
I have no problem with copy protection on the xbox. It works. I put in the game, and the game plays, always.
Every time GPS calculates your position, it calculates it in 3D. It The z calculation is just as accurate as x & y. GPS is used for altitude because of local weather conditions. If there is a low pressure or high pressure system, then the pressure altmeter will be off a bit. The GPS is way more accurate than a pressure based system.
I have a GPS unit in my car. I also have a cell phone. When I make a call, my GPS doesn't all of a sudden think i'm somewhere else. I have also used wireless mouses in close proximity to GPS without incident.
Humans are a computer. You take in input from your senses, do something to it in your brain, then output the answer (either to memory, talking, etc).
Your parents told you "rules" like "The stove is hot" "Hot things burn you" and "Burns hurt". The programmer tells these same things to the computer. The brain is just a highly parellel computer that over the years has evolved advanced programming.
Adult life (marriage, kids, family, work) leaves little time sometimes for other stuff. It's nice to catch up even once a month with a friend.
If you have the time to build a profile and upload pictures and send messages to people and add friends and maintain your "wall" and look at other people's "wall", you clearly have the time, just choose to waste it on facebook rather then calling the people that you care about and ignoring those you don't.
Why? Who cares how "hammed" someone got last Wednesday night. Oooh Look at all the pictures. Look at all the losers that I hated in High School. Facebook is for people that want to make High School last forever. I couldn't wait to leave the people I met in High School behind, why go back?

had to make friends with people by "shootin' the breeze". It's not much different in cyberland.
You can say that again. I don't even need to meet someone for them to be my friend. I have over 1,000 friends and I never cry myself to sleep.

I hope that you are wrong, but fear that you are right.
While we are talking about power, how about Steorn?
Not during the reboot, just magic then.

Line out to another computer's line in. Problem solved.
What they are witnessing is the Flying Spaghetti Monster manipulating the results.
I don't get it. If there is no air, how does space have a smell?

Now that is a feature that I would rewire my house and buy new light recepticles for! Wait, who still uses DVD?

Could you imagine the elegance that the spammers would be able to manage if multicast were allowed?

I think this is a cop out on the airline's part.

There is no magic in science.

Yet I bet every day, 1,000's of phones are left on in the air unintentially, without consequence.
From Calgary. I pay 7 cents/ kWh for electricity. I don't know a single person that DOES use electricity for heating. It's all natural gas here.
What is the electricity rate in Montreal/Quebec?
