Streetview is a convenient tool for burglars to scope out neighborhoods, since Google has already done all the legwork for them.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with stopping the googlemobil.
Really? So in what countries can a person be denied access to public property while doing nothing illegal?
Why should anyone waste their time asking Google to remove the photos, when they can stop Google from taking the photos in the first place?
Because you can't stop people from driving on a public street and taking pictures.
In many communities it is actually Google that is breaking local law by engaging in unlawful surveillance.
Nope. No surveillance. Not in any one area or at any group of people. Once again there is no law against me driving down a public street and taking a picture.
I wonder how long I would stay out of court (or jail, for that matter) if I would photograph random private residences and post the photos online, accompanied by location details.
I wonder if we should respect the wishes of a person exercising their rights as a citizen on public property that their taxes pay for? Or is that way too crazy of a thought?
Processors have not increased in speed for 5 years !
Umm by speed you must mean the little numbers on the chips specs. Not how fast they actually work. Right? Because if you are trying to tell me that the actual speed of processors has remained unchanged for 5 years you are either beinb intentionally misleading or you are an idiot.
Republicans now are "big government" but that is not what they are supposed to be. Also. The writer of that comment made it really clear to me that he hasn't comparing Democrats and Republicans but more specifically Democrats and Libertarians. He could have used either Democrat or republican in that sentence and the meaning would have been the same.
Second. In a small confined space I can see that smoking should be curtailed. Really though. A lot of place have laws now that you cant smoke outside. This is not about where someones rights end. This is truly about those who believe they are smarter than everyone else deciding what they think others should and should not be able to do.
Third. Sir you show your true extreme left wing colors when you think that escalating from smoking in a bus to shooting someone is anywhere near the ability to even be mentioned.
Yes it was- people went nuts with images on their pages. I even remember one early commentator saying that text-only web pages were actually *better* for people on 14.4k baud modems.
That bill Obama just signed in hiding did have 8,500 earmarks and was his job.
I really hope that soon he starts doing the things he said he would do and get moving on the major spending problem this country has had with Clinton and Bush.
I'm familiar with all the boring Quality differences...it's due to ear training. You consistently hear your reference material (other well recorded and or well written songs on an iPod or some other device) in the mp3 format, and so you end up getting used to the mp3 format.
Slashdot Mirror
how exactly are we supposed to pay?
I'm not sure how the whole process works but I'm guessing that it involves bending over at some point.....
You "paid" when you decided Microsoft was the easier softer way.
In Soviet Slashdot the joke takes you.
At least I have a shot a good health care. Even if it dose put me into massive debt.
(What is the contribution of spam to the value of the Internet?)
For the spammer it is placed squarely in the plus column.
This patent trolling crap is bitched about more here than Microsoft is.

My guess is until someone makes a law against it.

Or :)
I can't decide if I should even give a shit. Smileys deserve to be filled with a viral infection. Happy little fuckers.
Have nothing to add to this thread but I really need to get on this whole achievement whoring thing.

Hence, Google is monetizing news content that they don't pay for.
OMG!
Google is making money off of making me more money! What am I gonna DO!?!?!?!?!?
Why are so many people such idiots?

I guess we'll hear right-wing radio decrying this as yet one more example of government interference stifling innovation in the marketplace.
Apologies, but I couldn't resist.
I guess I'll hear Leftist radio .... nevermind.
No one that can drive listens to left wing radicals.
Better than that lets do this.
Pick 10 or 15 standard tasks. Do those tasks over and over till the battery dies.
Tell us how many repetitions the system can do with the battery.
Because the real issue is how much can I get done on one charge.
First. I do not smoke cigarettes.
Second. In a small confined space I can see that smoking should be curtailed. Really though. A lot of place have laws now that you cant smoke outside. This is not about where someones rights end.

As long as the text wasn't blinking.
Well put.
Thats not what Doctors are for. That is what Fathers are for.
Daschle is a lobbyist.

-1 is the only way to read /.
Which is why I love FF even with its craptastic code. If you don't like somthing about FF....FIX IT!
The Minefield beta is really fast.
I so wish I had Mod points right now. That is the most accurate depiction of what is actually going on that I have seen.

There. Fixed that for you. :)
