The privacy groups oppose the merger because, they said, it would give one company too much private information about consumers. These fears are unfounded. Google has made enough information available for everyone, and I don't think DoubleClick really has any information that can identify you personally.
Maybe self powering solar paneled towers might be better. You'd be helping the environment as well as providing backup. And the height of these towers are perfect for a wind turbine + battery installation as well.
Even if it's not perfectly reliable, such a tower could be connected to the grid, and in the event of emergency, it'll be at the very least, intermittent,which is enough for some traffic to flow out for a very long time. With a battery/generator, you'd only have power, while reliable, for a limited amount of time.
But consumer reports cannot feature ads like other papers, because it must be, uniquely independent, of the products it reviews. Other newspapers do not necessarily have to be independent.
While it would be nice if others were, I think I prefer paying less, and reading some ads.
Kasparov's opposition is ineffective, and truthfully, unlikely to have any effect. OTOH, His approval rating is around 5%.
For many people, it comes down to this, Putin is an ethnic Russian who revived the national economy. He's made the lives of many people much better. Kasparov is an Armenian Jew, which is quite different from Russian, and well, somewhat insane.
This seems like a rather glaring oversight. The only reason that something available previously being available only for newer versions of a product is to force someone to upgrade.
The problem with backdoors, is that noone can guarantee who uses them. While it allows for (possibly) justified surveillance by our government, it also allows for it by others.
The United States, or the NSA, doesn't have all the world's best cryptographers. Russia, China, etc, other nations have excellent skill in these endeavors. Ironically, by trying to protect the nation, the NSA runs the risk of opening us up to foreign espionage.
Much of the reason Asia is obsessed with MMORPGs is because they provide a form of escape from everything. Students are pressured much harder to succeed there, and failure really isn't tolerated. As a result, children are disinclined to try new things, because they might not be very good at them.
The need for such treatment camps is perhaps symptomatic of this underlying issue - that, life is so dull/boring that a virtual world is far more entertaining. You can take risks their, and noone will think less of you for it. (Noone out of the game, at least)
People here seem to be missing the point - it isn't that this stuff isn't trivial compared to todays engineering, it is. But it's more revealing about the fact that non-western civilizations had an advanced grasp of the physics/science behind this stuff. They knew how to take advantage of rope tension.
A bridge like this isn't so impressive today. It's easy to build. But to come up with the design is the hard part.
Part of the issue is that people demand laptops when they don't need them. They do have the attractiveness of not having cords or other extraneous things that confuse users, but at the same time, being mobile is oftentimes not the best practice.
Security is a major issue - can you trust that your data won't be compromised if lost or stolen? Do you have a reasonable backup? (Most people don't)
For most employees, a desktop is often enough. And if laptops are handed out, then users need to be very, very careful. (Encrypt data, daily backups...)
I'm thinking a better solution would have a laptop that works as a dumb terminal.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these...
Actually, with ATI's CTM technology which allows these to be used as stream processors, you could get alot of math done with a couple of these.
It seems to me that the Iranians have this type of basic technology - keep in mind, keeping something in the air is no big challenge, nor is waypoint navigation.
Also - picking up any field robotics journal will have papers on this sort of autonomous stuff - should be ban those too?

This is actually how many Asian families operate. The child supports the parents when they become old and senile. It seems to be an effective form of motivation.

Maybe fox can do a report on themselves now.

So I have. So, how many people googled themselves after reading this post?
This would work better if it wasn't on your computer that you brought in for repair.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these! ...i hope they wear deodorant.

That's cost amortized. To add an extra 40kg worth of cargo to an existing launch is probably much less then that.

What, reading slashdot?

Maybe they saw what happened to the other reporter. *shudders*
Can you just imagine a beowulf cluster of these?
Will the first battery last longer then 14 miles?
