I wonder exactly how 'trackable' your... I guess "Thought Voice" really is. When you talk out loud in your own head... or for that matter if everyone CAN do that.
Differences in mental make up are going to make direct interface devices a pain in the arse, but if we can all at least 'talk' in our heads, it would be a good step... even if everyone had their own translator (which I'm sure they would)
To start with, I have to say I'm siding with google on this... as all of the above posts have stated.
I just wanted to point something out. This is the difference of Googles rep and MS's rep. If MS did this, we'd be all over them searching for everything we could slant in their favor.
yeah, his stances on net-neutrality are like that as well...
I like what he says, and at this point I'm willing to run the risk it. I mean serious, what do we have left to lose?
A more realistic view is "They've leeched X-Billion out of a market, killing it... now they have a X-Billion head start in whatever market they chose to milk tomorrow."
Matter resists being compressed to the levels needed for a black hole... even if we got a handfull of atoms pressed in like that, they would scatter quickly. The only reason they stay like that in black holes is the gravity overrides it by shear brute force.
0 risk, I don't care what doomsayers say.
They can all put their money where their mouths are. Taking all bets, payable after this thing goes live.:)
at some point the search for the key has to become less then approaching it from another angle... say 'alright, the front door is locked, how hard is it to build another door'
I know very little about encryption, but there has to be something other then that single way to decrypt it.
A ratio is also black and white. I'd let loose every pot dealer in prison to prevent one innocent from going to jail, but I'd risk an innocent to keep in a rapist/murderer... and I'm sure everyone would have their own ratio.
That's the bitch about law, it's a black and white in a grey world. The trick is putting the line in the right place.
Bitch of it is, people DON'T look for their own information.
This is one of the key differences that we have trouble understanding (as I assume most of us on this type of site take the time to research).
Most people literally do not look into their options. They devour sound clips and single lines as gospel, making their choices and standing with them as though changing their minds would prove them less a man/woman. This is why the red states stay red, and blue states stay blue.
Any/. reader knows more then most of the voting public, and has seen more of each side of the fight. You want scary some time? Stop using the internet, try to gather your facts from Fox, ABC, or any other news network. Try to get a real look at the situation using that only.
Look at the standard, masses voting for their normal color, with a handfull of states that are naturally even enough that the few who actually vote differently can matter. I have never lived in a state where my vote counted, and that's a sobering thought.
How is this 'typical of the obama campaign'... or insightful for that matter?
Look at this;
This is a list of crap email received on Obama. Note the themes and quantity of emails... Really a bit telling to the mentallity of the people sending them out, as well as the people who forward them on and on. http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obama.asp
That said, I'm more then a little pissed at this idiot for the google bomb. These were funny once, but trying to manipulate politcs with them isn't. I view the 'good guys' as being above this.
That said however, I'm at the point where I'd sacrifice some of my personal views on that to prevent what happened in 2000, and then 2004. If that's the only way to get the idiot vote, go for it... because at this point the idiot vote has to be 50%
Well lets see... if I was a terrorist I would *gasp* encrypt my data?
But wait, I'm sure that any decent criminal organization would do that... so... wait who's the law supposed to effect? It would only really help with people who DON'T encrypt their data.
Wonder what the largest group of people who send non-encrypted data are.
In its current form, youtube is going to die. Large bandwidth needs plus lack of income potential is a rough combo.
Ads would help, but I don't know the details to income vs outgoing. I would hope it could be as simple as a side or top banner, both would be acceptable... however, before they start more dramatic user-side changes (sign up fees, unpopular video removal, ect) I would hope they would put small ads on the bottom of the video. I think that would be the limit of what youtube could take before it fell.
Didn't we the public pay in taxes to have these infrastructures built? When are they going to understand that we'll just keep figuring out ways to not pay for things twice?
This is not the fault of the content providers.
Youtube/google didn't build them, and they have to pay the people who DID build them. If they aren't making at least enough money to pay for the fees they are being charged, they aren't going to keep it going.
If you had a business who was paying for customers parking, and you weren't making back enough money from those customers to cover the cost of their parking... would you continue to offer that service?
And along the same line of thought, if you could put up a pepsi advert at the doors to your store to keep the parking free for your customers, wouldn't you?
If you have a problem with taxes being used for the infrastructures, that's another problem to contend with. I know that our taxes aren't maintaining those lines, and I'd guess (unresearched) that any and all fees 'should' be going toward maintaining and improving those lines.
Of course, that doesn't explain where the CEO's new cars are comming from, but that's the idea anyway.
Yes, there should be smart kid classes, yes there should be dumb kid classes.
I have no intrest in seeing the next rocket scientist kid slowed down by the next welfare case.
If they want equality, they should read a book... rather, they should have parents capable of raising them to read books.
Not fair? Screw fair. Fair is for naked hippys. Teaching children it's better/easier/more sympathy to be stupid then it is to be smart is part of the cancer that is making failed adults.
Will you;
A: Behave yourself, get good grades, and smile in satisfaction at your own skills by yourself.
B: Act like the kid with ADD who has the whole teaching staff helping keep track of him, fail a class for the extra focus, and just quit trying so everything focuses on you.
kids aren't hard to understand, especially on something as simple as this.
Good to know he figured out what tune to whistle to get you on board.
Never mind that he's a sock puppet for lobiests... but yeah, he changed his mind on this, lets follow him!

on a side note; your sig demonstrates why bullshit gets elected
not everyone likes scrawny women, I reject the whole artical

Lesser of two evils doesn't justify voting for the worse of two evils. I belive the national debt will attest to that

Because it's okay to be spied on by your own government.
