This site lets you watch the border and report suspicious activity. I'm not sure how effective it is, but its an example of what can be done with this "virtual fence" technology.

in this case, the word anchor means "specially engineered cable cutting device capable of precision slices while on the ocean floor"
This is exactly what I DON'T want to happen. Record companies start to realize that if they can get their songs into the games they might stand to make a buck. They'll start slipping Red Octane bribes to place their songs in the lineup. Then the games will become just as watered down as CD's are now. We'll end up paying (assuming we still support the game) sixty bucks for a game with four songs we actually enjoy and the rest will be crap.

4. Which nations have substantial amounts of useful uranium? What would the balance of power be if those nations became the new Saudi Arabia of energy?
I'd take Australia and Canada over Saudi Arabia and the rest of the middle east any day...
If they want it to be wildly popular, embrace third party developers. The iPhone is capable of so much more of Jobs would just step out of his reality distortion field and notice.
Unfortunately, Google will probably go the other direction and record your conversations that way they can display periodic "target" adds as your wallpaper.
Every time I read about this monstrosity I burst into a fit of laughter. Gigantic weapons just make me happy for some reason. I propose a 100 Megaton test on the moon so the whole world can watch...
Unless something has changed dramatically since the last time I researched this topic I'd say that 15 gigs is being extremely generous. I'd say closer to 60 gigs on average.
I purchased a desktop from dell a few years back and my credit card information was taken from my customer account by the person who was taking the order over the phone, forwarded from India( or wherever they happened to be) to their partner in Miami, Florida, and was used to purchase $35,000 worth of printers and digital cameras. Thank god they caught it. As the summary stated, with tons of people in the government something is bound to be taken sometime.
Of course, if you do your banking on a public computer don't you deserve it?
All I got from the article was that someone is impatient about getting some benchmarks and that a Thai Journalist MIGHT have walked out because of a NDA which may or may not exist... exciting...
This scares the hell out of me. We are, for sure, going to be wiped out in a takeover by the machines we have created. How long before it realizes, hey this plastic sleeve on my foot is kinda loose, lets take it off and stab someone in the face with the exposed metal.
Obviously I kid, but how long do we have before my previous statement comes true.
There is a time and place for protesting, and during a presidential speech is not it. Like it or not, he is in charge (more or less) for the next few years and deserves his chance to get his points across as do his opposition. Let them hold a press conference. Let them inform the media they are going to protest at X time on Y date on against Z subject. If the media wants to come they will, if not, then maybe opposition groups need to rethink their strategy. What would happen if they didn't do this? Speeches and rallies would dissolve to a shouting competition and nothing would get done.
I recall an incident where Harold Ford Jr. ambushed Bob Corker http://www.wmctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=5568809 and tried to derail his press conference. There are ways for people to get their point across and times when protesting is appropriate (demonstrations on public property etc.). Trying to out shout the president during a press conference or speech is not the way these things need to be done.
The last thing the secret service works is chaos while the president is vulnerable up on a stage. Our country allows you to protests pretty much any way you want to an time you want to as long as it doesn't endanger other people. I'd call a bunch of left wing crazies shouting about how the government caused 9/11 in a crowd of right wing war hawks is going to cause some issues.
When I visited ground zero earlier this year a group of conspiracy theorists showed up and started marching through the crowds of people with signs screaming about how 9/11 was an "Inside Job". Fortunately the police showed up and had them move to a designated area to protest. This isn't Big Brother censoring peoples dissenting views, is the police trying to prevent a massive street fight from breaking out between the people who feel that ground zero is a place to remember those lost and the people who are concerned with shouting their views at everyone within earshot.
In other news, Level Three has begun filtering all traffic relating to online first person shooters until cables capable of handling that kind of fire power can be installed...
I hope to god the first thing that went through your head when you heard about the 9/11 attacks wasn't "Lets build faster internets!!!". Please keep your troll-posts contained to the politically oriented articles.
The way I see it unhealthy people are most likely costing me money. If everyone paid the same amount rates would go up so everyone could help get 900 lb Joe Sixpack a hover-round so he doesn't have to be bothered with such difficult tasks as walking, and "moving". If I watch my weight, wash my hands before I eat, don't smoke, and don't engage in dangerous activities, then I should get a break. Its like someone mentioned above, insurance companies raise rates on people who get tickets BECAUSE THEIR A HIGHER RISK. Their going to have more wrecks and cost more money. Insurance companies should have the right to do this and the government needs to stay out of it. I think it will also help lower the percentage of obese people in this nation if they end up paying out the ass to keep their insurance. Maybe they'll stop and think before they down those 25 McDonald's cheeseburgers. I for one am sick and tired of having to pay for the medical care of people who don't even try to keep themselves out of the hospitals. I may seem insensitive but my compassion for people who leech off of my hard earned money ran out a LONG time ago./rant.
User generated content is a huge part of the gaming market on PC's, and now that a console may get a piece of the action people start freaking out. Shows that people really aren't too concerned about PC imo, or they know the truth: we PC gamers are mature enough to handle it. I just hope they don't damage the customization of unreal tournament that gave it such a long lifespan in the past. Damn console's screw it up for everyone.

Captcha: Dwindled, how fitting...
but does it have an LAN port? Or more than one usb port?
Those are the two things that really turned me off on the air, in addition to the poor specs for the price.
They'll give you the speed but as soon as you try to do anything with you'll start getting your connection RST'd.
Captcha: perishes , how convenient.
... but does it run linux?

Yet another game that had so much potential that I will not be purchasing because of in game ads and adware. I'm looking at you BF2142.
