While it would be cool to highlight rapists and muggers with a red status bar, it would be really awesome if it could be tied into medical devices. Say you're a diabetic and you have a little device on your arm that constantly measures your blood sugar. Could help you maintain a more stable glucose level which has long-term health benefits. Or say you have a heart condition that leads to arrhythmias or PVC's? You could get a little readout that tells you that the alarming sensations you're feeling are ok within the baselines the device has set (or vice versa that you don't feel anything but that the device detects some serious abnormality). Something like a hitpoint meter that ACTUALLY shows some useful information regarding your medical condition.
The story came from the Washington Post so all manner of journalists know of it, and internally, word of mouth is almost as quick and just as effective as tweeting, facebooking, etc.
When will governments realize that even their best efforts to control information are akin to holding back an ocean with a leaky sieve?
I actually had a long argument with my park ranger about deer scat vs. rabbit scat. My main point was this: whenever he experiences any trouble he still complains to me, and for me it is much easier to deal with deer scat. So he gave it a try and it all tasted OK to his own surprise, he had no troubles eating partially digested berries, pine needles and pigeons.
Thanks alot folks! I'll be here all week!
(PS This wasn't in reference to parents comment, it just fit well here)
The basic reason for the notice requirement on evictions is that evictions tend to leave a person without a home. When getting cut off from online access to relatively unimportant content has the same devastating repercussions, I guess the same requirements will begin to apply.
How about the Guide v2, the one at the end of the series that makes reality collapse in on itself in the end and can manipulate time at any point:) Better than the silly Krikkit weapon:)
I live in Appalachia now and it's still only the innovative or at least motivated people who get ahead. The majority in my area are lazy and leech off the system.
Well, in the rurals, digital actually seems to be more useful since even though the transmit power might be a little lower, error correction and other tech makes it much easier to keep a useful signal. Believe me, I live in rural Virginia and the difference between our old analog and new digital is night and day.
Well, yeah bad examples maybe but they still exerted a massive amount of productivity before they started getting any recognition. This article is talking about kids out of college expecting miracles.
How many truly influential people (Torvalds, Gates, Jobs, etc, etc, etc) jumped to stardom overnight? For that matter, how many upper-level IT guys and gals in big firms got there overnight? Work hard and treat the other people in your office right and it will happen for you. And most of all, make sure you don't act like this guy:)
But if you think about it, the device wouldn't have to be "conductive" to still short out the power line. With that much voltage, even the thick rubber gloves lineman use specifically for dealing with high voltages, sometimes fail.
I agree with that point. I didn't say it would be a pretty thing, just that it would continue to change even without him. Like a corporation board of directors that takes the company from the founder against his wishes and then fires him.
But really at this point, even if he stops developing the kernel, someone else will just pick up where he left off. I don't think we can ever really expect to keep one final generation of the kernel. It'll always be changing and morphing to new cpu's, hardware, etc...
An interesting article on the role sleep plays in saving/discarding memories. Even if it seems like you've forgotten an event during the day, it isn't really gone until your next period of REM sleep.

Interesting story, posting to undo mod error
Seriously.

It wouldn't matter if they got free since soldiers do not reproduce.

Are you kidding? I think the RIAA has proven they're incapable of learning.

This site is legit, forwarded me to a forum page..But I do have to tell you, that is a horrible domain name for a non-pornography company :)

But the owner in most cases is the producer, not the artist. And you can bet yourself they will renew it as long as it continues to make money.

I dunno, seems to me there is a massive amount of foreign IT available to most any company. Someone will ALWAYS go cheaper than you..

When Miro has editing capabilities, it'll truly be remarkable considering all applications like that are mostly closed-source.
The Russian BIOS-3 project fit the moon goal better I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS-3
Midi ringtones are outrageously priced..real tones even more so. The price isn't THAT inflated compared to what we already spend.
