This won't ever see the light of day. For one, its not currently legal in America. Two, it would only result in a much higher rate of impact. (Slam on your brakes next time you drive, see which way your hand moves. Is it forward?! Oh no! you just hit the car going 30 instead of 22). THREE, if its NOT BROKE. Do NOT fix it. Four, there is 0 gain from this. At all.
Also, unless we start seeing it on race cars no one will ever take it seriously.
I'd be interested to see what would happen if they provided some kind of negative feedback to the mouse when a player shot it, and then just let them run rampant in there. I'd imagine mice would have a far better reaction rate then people in it.
Whats next? My money tree won't grow?? Come on people, there are very very few "easy ways to get rich", and the few ways that do exist typically involve f'n over everyone else, and you ending up in jail at some point.
This is true with windows too? Flash is a bloated pile of shit program. Is this really shocking? Wake up and smell the piss poor programming along with god awful management decisions. (Rewrite? Screw that! Lets tack more shit on!)
Of course its like nothing you've ever seen. Its completely unnecessary. I've never seen a car with built-in centrifuge.. doesn't mean they should make one.
NASA's only real problem is that the government is giving them a crap ton of stupid projects to do. What good is identifying the asteroid that will kill us all? We can't stop the stupid thing. Why exactly are we going to the moon again? As a launch platform for mars? How about we use that other launch platform we have.. you know, earth. We got to the moon in the 60's because NASA was told "Get to the moon.", so sure enough they hopped right onto it.
Criminals rarely think "Gee... I sure hope no one sees me do this!" they think "Gee... I sure hope I can get the hell away from the scene before a cop gets me.". Having something floating around would require several things to actually work:
1. Someone to know the crime is happening and thus record it, send cops over, and prevent it.
2. No blind spots(good luck on a roaming platform. Last I checked, buildings still are 3d and thus will cause blind spots.
3. The criminals not to take the most basic of all precautions to hide there identity(sky masks aren't exactly hard to make or buy.).
So, in conclusion, it looks like some dumb ass company built this device and decided to market it to whatever sucker they could find. World keeps on turning.
Anyone else remember when the announcement of a government facility wasn't met with constant pessimism and assertions of ill-doing? Me either. I suppose thats our job as 'informed' citizens though.. to constantly second guess our government.
As much as everyone might think this is a big boo-boo by google, I say its a great job done by automated software. All systems should protect themselves from massive peaks in internet traffic in order to provide a base-line service. Twitter even pulled selected services off to keep up a minimum working level. The fact that it classified it as a "net attack" is a matter of terminology, not importance.
The point is not to read the content, but to enable a computer to analyze the content in such a way that they can deduce statistics and patterns from it.

I don't need to know that you love apples to know you definitely love the same thing as 14 other people. Lets assume that we have 20 encrypted sets of data. Lets also assume the 20 sets say basically the same thing but because of the encyrption method look nothing a like from the raw data perspective. If you go ahead and find a way to analyze the encryption enough to know that the 20 emails all contain a similar message, but not enough to actually know what the message is... well then! You could go ahead and store all of ebay's customer information and do massive amounts of data crunching for them, without ever actually seeing any data.
This is a huge problem in IT, where admins need access to the databases in order to see how the data is being stored, how the tables are working, etc etc.. but can't actually have access to the database because then they might see customer information. So you either let joe-bob admin in there and let him see all the data, or you don't. Now you can let the admin in there, they can determine anything they might want to know, but they never actually see any exact data.
No, I don't know anything about the math portion.. but thats basically what they are trying to say in the article. I think.:)
I am sitting in a data center right now.. we are at about 65% of "total capacity" and at about 85% of our current capacity... our 6 other data centers are in similiar situations. We have some big names looking at moving into us, which means they will be leaving other places soon.
India has a pretty firm grasp on data centers now, India's economy is doing ok at the moment.. so net effect? No data center shortages.
Total capacity is if we actually used all of our available space instead of dedicating some of it to on-site tape storage, admin cubicles, increased our eletrical capacity to max, and same with AC. You won't see a data center shortage, you will however see an upsurge in datacenter remodeling.
I am legend the book was about the story he just said. One guy thought he was the only survivor, but lived ONLY during the day. As such, he never saw the "crazy vampires" at night. SOME of them were indeed insane.. but most of them were normal people that just looked crazy. Anyways, "Legend man" slaughtered a ton until they tricked him with a little girl.. then at the end they tell him they are killing him because HE is the "vampire" like creature. Thus.. HE is THE legend.
Kind of suprised at the jokes so far... I know that every 2 days we get some kind of "world changing" discovery/invention, but this one has very serious and amazing implications for nerds. Imagine charging your laptop once a week. Seriously.. if you could take your phone out with you on vacation and not worry about a charger. Theres a million serious uses for this, and I just really pray its not vaporware...well I guess I kind of do pray its vaporware?
To those that don't know.. phoenix/tucson are seeing record kidnappings and murders. These are being primarily carried out by drug cartels. CNN and Fox have been talking about it, which makes this a political move to calm the masses.
I'm sorry, but wtf?? When will the FRIGEN industry understand that the LAST thing gamers care about is the frigen technology?? We just want NO lag, good FPS, and heres a crazy ass idea.. GAMEPLAY.
Everything else is just wasting everyones money and time.
Google, once again, is just using the basic idea of competition to drive a market. There is nothing to see here but some whiney person who is shocked to discovered the world does not revolve around them.
What?? Its the internet man.. no no. I take that back. Its the "Web 2.0", just throw it on EVERY social network outlet you can find, host it on blogs, etc etc. Facebook, myspace, youtube(read it.), blogspot, email it to everyone you can find in the media, etc etc. Once its on the internet it can't go away. If you want a centralized place to point to then make it a torrent on pirates bay. Not easy enough? Fine, post it on blogspot and a 20$/month web hosting service. One of two things will happen:
1. No one will care and this won't be an issue.
2. Someone out there will find it, talk about it, and then that one hosting site you use will have its pre-allocated bandwidth tapped out in mere hours. If that happens, it won't matter because the site pointed to the youtube, facebook, myspace, and the torrent.

He didn't get rich quick. Research his shit, he spent a LOT of time and energy on his company.

Whoring out a dead author's lifelong work for some extra cash.. gotta love it.
I'm here for the +5 funnys. Not the +5 accurate and not a sexist jerk. :P
Woah woah woah.. wife? INSTALLING?
There goes using a remote control to watch porn. The naked walk to my TV to change the channel is gonna get annoying real fast :(
Fuck you Joe. I hope you burn in hell you d-bag. (*waves bye to his karma*)
