Sounds like that would move it away from the intended market, which is "Plug-and-Play" "Just Works" style uses.
I always imagined this as a future replacement for the OLPC except for the requirement of an HDMI-compatible video display. I think perhaps a coax RF connector would be more useful for a majority of the undeveloped world.
Perhaps I missed a math lesson somewhere, but aren't 42%, 34%, and 37% all below half, meaning that even at that time the respective fields were male-dominated?
I recall they did something similar in an episode of Enterprise when Tepal and Archer needed to steal a car. Unfortunately, I think the car was like a '70s Challenger or something that would never have had automatic locks, much less iPhone control.
What seems crazy is that people forget that the 2nd Amendment was crafted to allow us to shoot dictators and tyrants. In a crazy person's mind, we may already live in a dictatorship, giving them the perception it's ok to shoot law enforcement/politicians and take over or eliminate their roles in government.
It is a sad fact for the US government that so many people now consider it a police state or dictatorship, based on their overreaching of the constitution and its bounds. Until tanks roll through the streets and a curfew or other militant restriction is imposed, it's not ok to shoot people over political differences.
Sony has a massive 21 first party studio lineup that is cranking out a flood of PS3 exclusives that dwarf the combined exclusive output of Nintendo and Microsoft combined.
I've seen many "Hospitals" (more like tiny clinics) which don't have any tech infrastructure. Many places in developing countries want to address huge issues like famine and curable diseases quickly, and are not particularly concerned about patient records when distributing food, vaccines, or doing disease tests.
Why anyone would choose anything over Android at this point is well beyond my understanding. The code is easy to write (Java/XML or Native C-based) runs excellently on even old hardware, as long as it's not Crysis, and the developer community is the size of the friggin' moon. It's been around for a good while, so people have gotten most of the bugs out of the base programming. The app store doesn't require approval/scrutiny to upload your programs, and the developer resources headed up by Google are amazing. The entire system is open source as well, so developers are able to 'compile their own' version of the OS to suit their devices and needs.
Until I see that on these other systems, I'm at a loss for why anyone but Mac Cult members would use anything non-android.
I can't remember how many times I've tried to explain to various family members the differences between the two boxes in the title bar. It's a lot, that's for sure.
They never seem to get it, and perpetually type URLs into the search box.
That was then, in a relatively stable post-USSR world. This is now, in the age of instant digital fearmongering, rampant invisible terrorist threats, and overwhelming governmental corruption and outright bribery. Expecting anything to get done even 1/10th as efficiently as a 1990s government is just pointless.
So wait a tick, there is already a ton of prior art ON FILE and yet the patent is still deemed valid? Wouldn't, say, several dozen prior inventions that do what you're trying to patent being on file in the application generally preclude granting of that patent?
It's not really even about messaging. The abstract in the patent application is so ass-backwards and contorted that nobody could make heads or tails of what the actual invention is. Here is the abstract:
A system for transmission, reception and accumulation of the knowledge packets to plurality of channel nodes in the network operating distributedly in a peer to peer environment via installable one or more role active Human Operating System (HOS) applications in a digital devise of each of channel node, a network controller registering and providing desired HOS applications and multiple developers developing advance communication and knowledge management applications and each of subscribers exploiting the said network resources by leveraging and augmenting taxonomically and ontologically classified knowledge classes expressed via plurality search macros and UKID structures facilitating said expert human agents for knowledge invocation and support services and service providers providing information services in the preidentified taxonomical classes, wherein each of channel nodes communicating with the unknown via domain specific supernodes each facilitating social networking and relationships development leading to human grid which is searchable via Universal Desktop Search by black box search module.
A committee to do -what- exactly? It sounds like a "group of Good 'Ol Boys to handle whoever we suspect of this, without proof, without judicial oversight, in any manner we choose"...
I would be outraged, but who didn't see this coming from the GOP boys?
Their tagline must be "We can't figure out how they're doing it, and we don't know who's doing it, but if we start locking up and executing folks who we THINK did it, maybe they'll get scared and stop."
McCain, et al: Perhaps if you weren't corrupt right-winger pieces of shit, people wouldn't feel the need to hack your stuff. End of line.
So you're trying to say "Democrats pass green initiatives, and Republicans repeal them"? That's pretty much what happens...
Drill baby drill! Hey, let the government pay for BP's cleanup! Let's avoid solar and wind power in favor of 'Clean Coal' and natural gas technology...hell, all we have to do to extract it is pump diesel fuel into your water supply!
Since when has it been Congress' job to be everything that is wrong with the USA? I mean, they can't even get the budget up to par and working correctly, and now they're bothering with repealing more green energy initiatives....but why?
Of course, because Philips and GE, and the entirety of the oil/energy industry probably threw millions of dollars or more at campaign contributions and lobbying to keep their existing product lines available. Greener technology means less energy consumed, and less energy consumed means less money for the providers.
Until we ban the outright sale of law and votes to corporations based on contributions and lobbying, this country will continue to march backward right into its grave.
Fuck the entire government, hard, sideways with a barbed metal pole.
That sounds remarkably like a coincidence of timing. The flight attendants do tell the pilot when the passengers have started/finished eating/getting snacks and when they have finished picking up baggage, but not with a chime. That's what the little phones with blinky lights are for.
The chime that she pressed was likely letting the pilots know that the attendants are done and can now sit down and buckle up - something still required of them during takeoff and landing. The pilots, furthermore, have the discretion to begin an ascent/descent at any time they wish, by simply requesting it of the ATC operator. It is probably the case that they started descending to avoid weather, traffic, or some other factor...or simply because the pilot felt like beginning his descent at that point. Pilots will rarely ever wait until the last waypoint they cross before an altitude requirement to begin a descent - that means steep drops that upset passengers' stomachs.
A plane will never hold a landing for a passenger, unless there is a security issue with said passenger, or a medical emergency which would be worsened on descent. Even if you're in first class: if you take too long to eat, the attendants will still come by and tell you it's time to pack it up and stow the tray table.

This. I want this. Must shutdown asshole drivers.

I'm sure if you pay whoever owns said jumbotron enough money, they will show whatever you want.

Sounds pretty much like a horror story to me.

I would be much happier with a contest to design and program clever variants of my own rather than playing them.

Yeh, GET requests are not that secure...
10 hours too long?

My favorite part has to be "knowledge packets"...
Lennart is trying to make Linux more like OSX
Thank you for clarifying that. Now I understand that he is to be stopped at all costs.
I wonder how much Apple paid them to arrive at that decision...?

Double miles? Relatives in India? Who knows. When I traveled to Australia/New Zealand and back I got a LOT more than 1667 miles...
