You're certainly right about some fans...maybe even most fans. I still think, though, that a lot of them will be disappointed after a few weeks of looking at exactly what they thought they wanted.
99 out of 100 sports fans will screw up. The guys who scan 10 feeds and pick the best one will do better almost every singly time. That's why they get picked out of a couple of thousand wannabe's to do the job.
Mostly, they're better than Joe Sixpack though that isn't a tune that plays well in a country that believes everybody's opinion is just as good as everybody else's.
There's already research indicating that the voice aspect of Google Glass won't make it safe. The problem with hands-free cell phones in cars is that the person (or app, for that matter) engaging the driver's attention isn't the same as a passenger. Passengers can usually tell when a driver is getting into a stressful or potentially dangerous situation, and they instinctively stop talking. Somebody at the other end of a cell call doesn't have that situational awareness, and will keep distracting the driver with their chatter even while they need every bit of concentration and ability to get through a potentially nasty situation.
LMFAO. Sounds like a plan. Sort of like that pathetic computer in the original Star Trek that always seemed to be getting hosed in by being ordered to compute Pi to the last decimal place.
...They can't tell that "Give her joy by split her halfways with yoou massif kawk" is spam, but they're going to identify sarcasm with a big analytics package.
I'll admit I didn't read every word of TFA, but my antennae went up when the author spent lots of time comparing the environmental impact of gasoline engines to electric autos supplied by coal-generated electricity. Then, comparing different types of generation, he matches up nuclear and natural gas rather than either of those two relatively-clean alternatives and coal. Completely absent is any mention of thorium-fueled reactors, though several countries are at the testing stage with such generators, and unless some major problems emerge, they seem likely to take over from uranium-fueled reactors in the next generation.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed to me that the author was most interested in raising his profile by generating controversy. It's an old academic trick when ideas are scarce and the bosses are hinting that it's time to get a few papers out there...or else.
Yes. A "moderate terrorist" is anyone in a roomful of conservatives who peacefully states that there is overwhelming scientific support for the reality of Global Warming.
I wonder how many conservative Americans who support all this spying also oppose background checks as a threat to the Second Amendment because they would lead inevitably to a gun registry. I also wonder if they understand information currently being collected with their blessing will be more than enough to compile quite an accurate registry.
Thanks for demonstrating a level of understanding that is, sadly, rare in the community we're discussing. It's difficult not to think in terms of nasty little smart-asses who have one field where expertise grants them authority, and they use it to pay back all the frustrations and disappointments they accumulate in other areas of their life.
"And yes, I say that as someone who has contributed to bunches of projects".
Like we didn't already know that from the tone of your comment. It does, though, go a long way toward explaining the overwhelming success of the Linux-based desktop environment.

I guess this is what you call "a camelwoe".
LOL. Maybe so. But I'm more inclined to believe the UK government is every bit as horny for a police state as the US government.

There...fixed that for you.
It looks like Tony Blair wasn't the only lapdog Parliament had in the kennel.

How about "Cumulodumbass"?
From the back, or in its throat?
Classical failure of reasoning on your part. Please quit abusing your parents' computer and go to bed.
Clearly identify it as a Ubuntu laptop. Your average, low-level thief is notoriously unwilling to steal things that are rare and unpopular.
So in just a few years we might have a way to remember dining at that fabulous Mexican restaurant literally forever.

"Computer: identify and grade snark. Execute!"
Right.
I think this question can be answered with a coin flip. Call it in the air, guys...heads or tails?

"Metadata" isn't just a buzz word.

It's like pointing out that Slashdot has gone downhill drastically in the past year or so...some things are not supposed to be said.
The Chinese suing over copyright violation? That's like a convicted pedophile suing the local day care centre for not hiring him.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Or that new peer-reviewed study on glyphosphate.
