It's not likely that there is a zero missing. Indians typically don't use the term million but instead use lakh (for 100,000) and crore (for 10,000,000). In this case Lakh is the literal translation for usury.
time we moved on from keyboards, or at least made them specialist add-ons that only a few would want. Alternative input devices are still dismal, about as good as a rotary telephone dial with 37 finger holes. Where's the innovation ?
So far as I am aware, the error was pretty much the same for everyone in the same area. By which I mean that if you gave a position by Loran the coast guard could find you with excellent accuracy even if the absolute position was 200m off.
people want to be able to find out what they used the bandwidth for. Like a phone bill lists the numbers you called and the call durations. Except that it's not so easy to summarize like that.
if it's anything like the original tricorder it looks like it will weigh 40 pounds and have a 4" screen and no usb ports. Now if apple can come up with one of those medical scanner thingies instead - that would be a great deal.
As long as it's not the Alfred P Murrah Federal building.
Anyhow, why not have both, a pilot in the plane and a pilot on the ground crew ready to take over, or even just assist, by remote control should the need arise
...or don't allow any baggage (carry-on or checked) in the plane, tow it in a cargo glider behind the plane instead or arrange for fedex to deliver it separately. I can't think of much I really need to carry on-board that would not fit into a pocket. I just roll my carry-on aboard so that I don't have to mess with the baggage claim process.
The main problem is preventing the plane itself being used as a weapon against targets on the ground. I'm that kind of liberal that is very much in favor of gun control, but the truth is that as the parent suggests, you can make firearms on a plane pretty irrelevant to whether a passenger can or cannot gain control of the plane.
The second problem is safeguarding the passengers on the plane and in the airport. The sheer public willingness to beat the crap out of a terrorist on a plane (due process - I don't need no stinking due process...), the lack of any significant amount of baggage onboard, flying more air martials and doing something about the toilets on planes to make them less usable as bomb making labs may go a long way to fixing the remaining problems, they will at least reduce the potential reward and increase the risk of failure for any terrorist whether or not they are willing to die in the cause.
Or a bush of long flexible spikes anchored around the door-frame that meet in the middle of the door opening on the outside such that you can push through them harmlessly on the way out but get peppered with small holes if you walk the other way.
Not only that, but I heard a radio phone in show today where a TSA spokesman was asked why we never hear reports of successes. The response was that the TSA had been successful thousands of times in preventing people from traveling. Is that the sole purpose of the TSA, to find plausible reasons to prevent or delay people from traveling ? If their measure of success is the number of people that they prevent from reaching their destination, then they are Al Qaeda's greatest asset.
is that there are just not enough of them out there. If there were FAR more, then there would be a lot of people calling their congressman. The solution to DCMA involves its own petard.
Don't forget the typos and "unintentional" omissions in the proprietary standards and of course the "reasonable fees" to purchase the standards documentation.

or... just because it's not the worst, it doesn't make it the best. /. page !
My god - now NASA controls the fortunes at the foot of the
The Russians and the Chinese have systems too - I don't know how usable they are by the public.

As I get older my body is naturally getting fuzzier. If the scanner adds more fuzz the TSA will simply view me as a giant hairball.
Yes - the problem is infertile people passing things on to their children.
They just wanted it to sound ladylike

Can RTFA for me
Maybe you should not expose these small parts of your body if you are concerned that they are less than a centimeter.

Do you mean at evenly spaced time intervals, or do you mean in the commonly accepted way of having sex ?
Teachers in the UK felt that they could maintain this distinction - they could not, it was (is) just state sponsored proselytization.

My human form is simply the earthy representation of my plump soul in heaven and you can't prove otherwise.
is just one step prior to suing them if someone obtained your credit card info via google and used it to rip you off.
But will it run Linux ?
That's because you're only considering stories on slashdot.org. If you were a member of trashdot.org you would see more.
