The parents are liable for expenses related to the detention of the minors. So the for-profit commercial detention center gets money for everybody they hold. It's pretty clear here.
If the wearer had a 360* light sensor on top of his head, and it was tuned to detect small flashes in the particular light signature of a rifle flash, something like this could work I suppose.
While I'm pretty confident that the electronics could react fast enough for at least a 1000meter range, I'm really not sure how fast the human body responds to the electrical impulses. If the last time I touched live 110v AC is any indication that's pretty bloody fast.
Am I the only one who finds it pretty funny that college students still use MS Office instead of OpenOffice? You'd think they'd enjoy the choice before they get stuck with Office 2007 at their first professional position.
Well, you know, some kids either
A: Have realized that when compatibility with the outside world counts, especially with VBA, Microsoft Office Wins. B: That if you are going to have to know something for that professional position you might as well learn it now while you're at school. Unfortunately not everybody has the learning curve of a hardened Geek. To ask them to be masters of two different office suites is asking an awful lot.
In any case, don't even get me started on Office 2007. That DOES kinda screw up everything. It seems the penetration of 2007 is incomplete. Many facilities I work in have a mix-match of 07 and 03 usually, sometimes older making things a nightmare. I could possibly get used to 2007 if I used it all the time...
That's a great analogy except with Dial-Up, total penetration was not as high, and consequently your total available client bandwidth most likely didn't exceed your backbone bandwidth. Now, with every other house on the block having a 3+Mb link to the backbone, it's nearly impossible to have a backbone that can accommodate that without mind boggling investment in infrastructure.
And I bet if you only downloaded the same 200-400 files from the internet at exactly the same time as your neighbors every ISP on the planet would offer truely unlimited internet...
Actually, I don't play games at all, too old for that shit. Pirated or not. However, it is my general observation based on the tendancies of other people I know who ARE avid gamers but have an inversely proportional income to their gaming habits.
As my peers become more successful and have less free-time the paradigm does shift towards everybody paying for a few good games. Instead of pirating a great deal of games and only paying for games that are too much trouble to pirate.
As somebody that currently lives a block away from the Luxor and Mandalay Bay, I can accurately say that you don't have to drive far from the strip to find a very high density of wireless access points, with approximately this ratio of secured to unsecured points. Within reach of the confines of my condo I have a buffet of wide open AP.
Take the strip out of the equasion and I think it's still valid.
The working poor aren't the way they are because of too little money. But rather, because of too much consumerism. When I look back 20 years ago, the poor kids didn't have Nike. The poor kids didn't have Polo. The poor kids didn't have SHIT. Parents put priorities first.
Now today. Every kid has fancy sneakers, cell phones, laptop computers, new cars for graduation... And bankrupt parents.
It's not the kids I'm worried about. It's the parents. What will the world be like when the parents of todays spoiled, money sucking kids, get spit out at 65 without a dime to their name - and greedy children with little desire to help them out?
A. Your train of thought "If I can Afford it, it means I should buy it" has put this country in serious trouble. It's only one step away from "Well I can buy it on credit even though I CAN'T afford it. So don't bash someone for trying to save a buck. Might be a lesson you learn the hard way some day.
B. I come from an area where the average income is well below $30,000/year. And LOTS of the families around here have a cabin, camp, cottage, whatever you want to call it. And it usually is a multi-generational thing. Generally a shack around a lake. Bought and paid for years and years ago when the land was cheap. Many of them have access to now POTS now, but DSL is a freaking pipe-dream. Most don't even have full plumbing! We barely just got DSL deployed widely in the populated areas... in fact I don't think I can get it at my house yet.
C. So city slicker, before people get too bent out of shape for paying too much for your one bedroom condo in some cookie cutter complex where nobody has any money to buy your "vacation home", realize there are a LOT of families that do have cottages. But most of the time to keep up on taxes and maintenance, they do without in some other aspect of their life.
Fact is, lots of these types of properties are still availible for the price of that new car. So don't go assuming you can't afford it. You just can't afford one that's within reasnable driving distance from your urban jungle.
Not to get into an economics battle. But the problem with the Cell Phone contract model is the same problem with automobiles and cars. MOST people can't afford the things they buy. And thus, live beyond their means.
And if they can't afford 15,000 up front, why do you assume they CAN afford 20,000 in the long term?
Well, to make an already questionable profession full of whackos look even worse than it really is. And to embarass the Bar in general I would suspect. Those Yuppies really hate looking bad.
I really feel the same way about high bandwidth uncontended internet for everybody as I do about flying cars.
They absolutely should have been here by now. But the fact is the world is not responsible enough for the technology.
Well I doubt there is a whole lot of unique color infomration to obtain, but in any case, BW sensors I believe can be built with a higher range and greater contrast... especially per kB which is important when you need to send the data between planets.
You and I have discovered a simliar trend. Despite what most/.ers would lead the world to believe, a 5 year old Athlon XP 2000+ running WXP is typically enough for all but the most demanding users.
My new laptop is nice and fast, but I feel it's wasted on me, it is definitely 5 times the machine my desktop is. But I knew I'd need some overhead for Vista so I didn't skimp. While Vista isn't too bad, it does seem to be overly bloated for what it actually does for me.

OMG. What are the chances that this douchebags root password is the same as mine!?!?!
I'll show him. rm -r *.*
Try the better part of Michigan. Lake Superior is clean and refreshing. Cold as hell though. Yes I'm a Yooper.

2.6 Million / 5000 = 520
Pretty sad that one persons freedom is only worth $520.
Well, light is an electromagnetic signal I guess.

Finally!
I can claim it's what's in my GENES that make me the way I am, instead of what's in my JEANS.

Of course I don't know shit about it.

And MOST of the time you'll find that those games are titles that require a legit copy to participate in online play...

Bentframe you insensitive clod. Weird Al had nothing to do with it. Jason Brannon and Chris Crawford.
Sure does!

You are probably right!!!

A few numbers vs. high resolution video...
We're talking about two entirely different beasts.
Whaaaaaaa!!!
You said it! Job security sure does suck, doesn't it?

I'm not convinced until I see pictures of mars men.

Explain how converting to DC would improve long distance transmission efficiency?
