I'm sure with proper planning anyone can avoid being born in a war-torn or impoverished nation.
Well, it worked for me. In fact, I've authored a bestselling book called Who's your Daddy? A Pre-Conception Future-Life Planning Guide. I'm currently on a book tour of the nation's sperm banks...
Consitutional scholars have been debating privacry rights for a long time now. But with our own laws and the added British Commonlaw is there nothing to prevent this type of thing?
If I recall correctly there was a peeping tom case that had some poor smuck who was getting some coffee in the buff, in his own home, and yet he was the one who was charged.
Look, I'm a big fan of jurance prudence. But we need to make our system work because when it's a joke then nobody will respect the laws.
As an American (USAian) I see that what is holding us together is a sense of purpose. We ignore the really stupid stuff that is on our books and really try to do what is correct. But we should make an effort to make sure that the books are correct too. It's not like we don't have the manpower. (Most barristers per capta.)
There's just something about your post that makes me doubt the claim that you're an American, but I can't seem to figure out what it is...
Frankly, I want my children to grow into rounded, self confident individuals...
And it's a well-known fact that the junior and senior years of high school are particularly well-suited for this... right? And community college is particularly unsuited for this, right?
The site doesn't tell you whether everyone in the household is gone, only if one person in the household is gone. A robber would still have to peek in the windows and do whatever it is robbers do to make sure the house is empty. But they could do that just by walking around some random neighbourhood and peeking in random windows; they don't need Twitter to tell them to peek into someone's windows.
IDK, it seems like you could probably figure out whether a lot of tweeters live alone or not based their previous tweets.
You, sir, apparently have trouble distinguishing between humor and sadistic malice. I also find your comment terribly insensitive towards those who had/have to provide technical support for friends and family using ME. They try to deny it, but I know their just using ME.
The ultimate dream would be a truly holographic sensor that records exactly where, when, and at what angle each photon hit the sensor...
I'm usually one of the last to predict the limits of future technology, but I can not imagine how this could ever be any more practical/useful than capturing/tracking every hundredth, or thousandth, or even millionth photon. I think maybe there's a lack of perspective as to the insane frequency at which photons contact a given surface area.
Wow. There must be some serious hate out there for Chronicles in order for you to get a Troll mod. My friends and I all enjoyed Chronicles as much as Pitch Black, even with the gaping plot holes. A very fun popcorn-sci-fi.
IMHO your post is better than the previous post because you note that the article poster's actions actually promote policies that neglect privacy. The previous poster, keeping with the war analogy, calls it 'surrender'. Whereas the more appropriate description within the analogy would be something like 'buying war bonds from the opposition'.
But thank you for your/.otter advice on parenting.
I believe you are mistaken, sir. It's only on topics relating to the appropriate naming of atheist organizations, and the proper way to consume mollusks, that the/. Otters give advice.
Personally, I'm not that concerned about the display on the device being higher resolution than that 1024*XXX. That's currently plenty for the far majority of my web browsing, eBook reading, note taking, media playback, and even basic word processing, spreadsheet work, and image editing (with bluetooth mouse/keyboard). If I want to do more serious work I'll probably want the larger screen size (17"+ minimum) along with the higher resolution. It looks like I'll be able to plug the Adam directly into my 24" monitor (with HDMI).
It also seems likely that someone is going to figure out how to dual-boot this device, so you can have Android on the go, and switch to Ubuntu or ChromeOS as a portable underpowered desktop.
Maybe my hopes are too high, but I haven't been this excited about an electronics device in years...
My understanding is that this was only true when comparing the U.S. to Japan/Korea. And I'm pretty sure that gap has been closed over the last three years. Unless you can show me a smartphone with the equivalent specs of the Nexus, Droid or Blackberry Bold 9700 that was released in some other country 2 years ago. And please don't trot out the "but they've had mobile TV on their phones for X years" - it's just sad.
Hilarious that Google got bit on privacy concerns. Facebook learned the lengthy hard way on that one...
If by "learned the lengthy and hard way" you mean "has made a fortune off of, and has grown exponentially despite of, its continuously worsening lack of respect for user privacy" than I totally agree with you. Otherwise I don't think we're talking about the same Facebook.
According to this chart (that I've been shamelessly pimping around/.), it will be able to have ChromeOS, or Ubuntu installed on it, although I do not know if Notion Ink plans on this being one of the options in the initial release. Personally, because of the app base, I'd probably choose Android to start with, and then if I was feeling adventurous later, try out ChromeOS. I haven't seen a good touch-friendly gnome or KDE implementation, so I might hold off on Ubuntu until there's an effective touch-UI.
Obviously you'd have to lay it on a desk or your lap when you for example want to type an email.
For me the point is not that this sort of device can be used as a handheld device (and ONLY that), but it should work well as a handheld device IN ADDITION to being a proper computer, albeit with lower performance than a big desktop machine.
That way you have ONE device that you can take with you anywhere, which is always useful AT LEAST as a handheld device.
And with (to my knowledge, the first) dual-core Cortex A9 MPCORE (1GHz), you may actually be getting snappier performance than most netbooks/bargain-laptops. Especially when you consider the 1080p video encode/decode ability.
According to Notion Ink, there will be different versions (probably based on 3G capabilities, internal storage like the iPad) ranging from $327 to $800. I don't really know how they could be making a profit @ $327 with everything they crammed in there, but I'm pretty damn hopeful.

But the gelatin has been diluted - to produce the maximum healing effect.
A device that converts energy into hydrocarbons?
I would like to patent such a device. Hmmm what to call it?
Whatever you call it, Monsanto beat you to it.
At first I read that as "xenotolerant" and had visions of you holding potlucks with aliens
Yeah, me too. And I hate those filthy Canadians. They took our jerbs!!
Really?! Can you be any more paranoid?
...huh?
They did WHAT in Pennsylvania?!!

I found this on floor after you left. Do you need it? ---> </i>
That was no mistake. You just didn't know that Monkeedude1212 is a zealous supporter of the Anti-Pirate Association of America.

I think you mean approximately 300 000 km/s, not km/h. You're only out by a factor of 3600, no worries!
I just assumed he was actually talking about its speed through a medium with a refraction index of 83,275.
And for every one of your kind of story we have one kind of mine...
I don't think that the dissatisfied-user-to-satisfied-user ratio that sentence implies is really what Canonical is shooting for. :-P

What a disaster really...
I don't think that right now is the time to criticize Facebook...oh, wait...

I'm pretty sure this is actually an accurate representation of South Carolina's advice for the TSA.
