Ditto, regardless of how imperfect it is in the beginning, I believe that Google will do a much better job managing privacy in the long run and will not change privacy settings every week, opting in all users by default and waiting for them to maybe find out about the issues on their own and change their settings to adapt. I dropped Facebook a couple of years ago and haven't looked back once - if Google+ can replace it, great, if it can't - I will stick with LinkedIn and more immediate means of communication with my friends.
So what you're saying is that they will either need a helicopter with a ducted rotor(s) or something with a downward-pointing jet engine like the LLVR? Why don't they just do that?
They also get away with saying that their burgers are made with "100% Beef" because it's the name of the company that supplies them with that goo that their patties are made from.
Agreed. Without this any company that has a legal team can just start suing any citizen that crosses it, regardless of whether they hope to win or not, just to stick them with legal fees. Great way to bully customers into submission - "Oh yeah, you're going to post a bad review about us online? We're suing you, have fun paying those legal fees."
I second that. Just use a damn helicopter (unless they're suggesting that this would be able to fit into places where helicopter rotors would not... in which case - use a hovercraft).
I hate roundabouts, majority of people don't seem to know how they work, and as a motorcycle rider I always have to watch out for some nutjob deciding that I am squishy enough to cut me off, instead of giving me the right of way. Multi-lane roundabouts are the worst, with people changing lanes in them at will...
Went to a bar in Vancouver BC once - they scan your ID and take a photo of you when you come in, apparently to reduce violence... but in a sense - they already have this gender recognition technology and with even more intrusion to your privacy! Suck that SceneTap.
That's all it would take. Reinforce the doors and give pilots a handgun. Or put a marshal on board of every plane... FFS, what's next, are they going to start searching pads and tampons now?
Who cares about fishing out a container of anything that has salt water damage on it. Unless you're shipping something like gold bricks or bottles of alcohol - it's going to be useless after having spent a day or two in salt water.
Not to mention op stated "that a single large container ship emits as much greenhouse gasses in a day as all the cars in US do in a year", correct me if wrong but the citation states 15 of these ships equals that.
You're wrong. The citation states that 15 ships equals all the cars in the world. Considering that out of 254 million vehicles in US, only 136 million are actually cars - it only takes 3 ships to pollute as much as all the cars in US.
It is a little known fact that the Chernobyl sarcophagus is at a danger of collapsing, requiring the international monetary fund to issue a few million dollars on its upkeep every few years. Through such simple means Ukraine is managing to consistently reduce its annual budget deficit and supply its government officials with sizable salaries. Japan just wants part of the action.

Was peanut butter used in training?
Might come in handy for when I lose mine.
Very well put, I couldn't have said it better myself.
In which case the question is - why didn't they offer a pat-down instead of asking children to be put through a radiation emitter?
I'm sticking with Google+.

"Your toilet has performed an illegal operation and will be closed. Please remove all poop and reload it again to continue."
That's a user issue. Some people have to reboot their Windows PC's once a week two "to speed them up". Don't confuse product problems with PEBKAC.

I'm starting a trend for "iphoned" as soon as I can figure out what that would mean. Suck it Apple! :)

Fair enough, I guess I didn't have to deal with too many dingbats where I live, while running into hordes of nutjobs in roundabouts :)

To be fair I had to do a semi-annual reinstall on my g/f's Macbook Air recently to get it to stop crawling. It's all about the user.
I think it was called Ceilis, on Granville.

reinforced doors

Ok, and exactly WHY as a customer, would I want an iPhone?? Rather limiting I'd say.
Fixed that for you.

You know what's ironic? Losing an entire container full of GPS units :)
There are something like 250 million cars in the US
Technically there is only 136 million cars, 254 million is the number of all vehicles in US in 2007: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=number+of+vehicles+in+us

I wonder if Bruce Willis will still be around to save us from a firesale once this is in place ;)
