And since the spatial dimensions are locked to the time dimension as one person said earlier a time machine is basically tracking the spatial dimensions in step with the time it's going through.
With that being said one still isn't without problems. How does the time machine deal with changing conditions surrounding the given location? For example x,y,z at time E could be on a flat plain, but at some future time at the same location be underwater. So really a time machine must be able to look at the location being moved to, AND be able to adjust one's position in spatial dimensions before getting there.
I'm assuming that's your blog, and your point there is ridiculous. Stop trying to map physical objects to digital versions. That's what the RIAA is trying to do and most/.ers (as well as most people informed on the subject) think it's unreasonable to expect a digital medium to have the same restrictions the physical medium does. Treat each medium separately, and instead of pointing out advantages one has over the other and pushing for those to be mapped into each domain, KEEP THEM SEPARATE. It's an e-book. It's digital, can be copied for zero cost, etc. etc. Don't whine about not being able to share it with a friend. Yes, that's an advantage of the physical book. But it isn't a physical book, it's an e-book. So why try to create a system to match physical books?
Wonderful since we're keeping things separate does that apply to the economic laws too?
Actually that would be a rather good question and at least an opportunity for Apple to gain more enterprise experience not to mention "eating one's own dog food".
I think the more insightful question when articles like these come up, is why does the audience not understand the processes behind the creation of the entertainment they enjoy? Today it's books. Tomorrow it could be music. The following day, movies complete with the "down with the man" and "buggy whip" posts. Is there really anything insightful about basically saying,"I like cheap stuff and 'the man' is keeping that from happening".
"I call her 'Tugette,' " says Muniz, who works in hospital admissions. The voice is about the only feminine part of this robot, which was developed by Aethon as part of a product line called Tug, which automatically transports food, medicine, and lab samples around hospitals.
I should point out a previous slashdot story on pneumatic tubes and one of their uses in hospitals.
Using the Anybots device known as QB, for example, it's possible for a remote operator to roll up to a colleague and ask an impromptu question, replicating in some measure the unplanned conversations that occur in offices.
This is just a symptom of the operating focus for GE. They no longer have a consumer interest. There are several companies working on high efficiency Halogen bulbs using IR reflective coatings to reflect heat back against the filament. In addition there is a significant amount of work updating the tungsten filament itself, basically sputtering the wire to texture it.
If it's those thick textured glass bulbs that screw into a regular socket? I've found they don't last long. Suppose to give a natural color though.
I just wish media companies would stop with this region-locked and country-based contracts nonsense and go with worldwide releases already. They don't need local distribution networks anymore.
"The Washington Post reports that last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the US is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.
I have but I think the law of unintended consequences will kick in and people will find that piracy will be the least of societies problems. We're raising generations on the idea that one doesn't have to respect their fellows, and undermining trust, the foundation upon which a society is based is OK.

The IEEE Standards Association, which develops industry standards for a variety of technologies, is working to define 'digital personal property.' The goal, says Paul Sweazey, who heads the organization's working group, is to restore some of the qualities of physical property — making it possible to lend or resell digital property.
But, but, it's "imaginary" property. How else are we going to illegally download movies, music, and games, if we start giving it physical properties?
Interesting article in bringing to attention unintentional leaks from cameras, and other devices under your control. However it doesn't address unintentional leaks from devices under someone else control concerning you as the subject. For example if I'm in a public space any number of cameras and video devices can record information about me. From the nearly ubiquitous security cameras, to the same cell-phone cameras nearly all phones have (even the cheap phones) with their EXIF date. How about the next Youtube video recording any number of unwilling victims? What's a paranoid person to do?
Your statement said tongue in cheek, but remember one of the justifications for the expansion of broadband in the US and elsewhere is the greater availability of education.
Points noted, but there's another group that could benefit from online. Those who already have a university degree and either want to brush up, or maybe take related classes.

Don't forget to include religion in the, what math can't express, unless of course one is arguing how many angels can fit on the head of a pin?

They need to economically "blow the pants off" the competition first.
Read this book.
Instead of burying people, we should eat them.
You'd think mad cow disease would discourage that sort of behavior.
I can imagine this being quite useful for cavers (also known as spelunkers) by allowing them to model large caverns quickly to look for exits.
Or, alternately, if it works in the dark because it's lasers, you could use it as an alternative to night vision.
Actually what came to mind was the mapping of building interiors for the purpose of historic preservation...or games. :)

What makes you think the problem is strictly corporate?
"The Washington Post reports that last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the US is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.
Debatable about the innovation (read some of the comments)

What online education programs have Slashdot readers been happy with and considered successful?
I got my law degree through "IANAL but..." offered through Slashdot. Next week I'm going for my economics degree.
Maybe its because I work for a large state's DOJ...
Prosecuting any powerful people or dealing with large sums of money?
Maybe other places should too?
Is the public at large willing to shoulder the cost, especially considering most don't understand the threat?
Considering how many holes and exploits there are in present day software. I wouldn't get too comfortable with the word "impossible".
Nice but what's the range, and is the spectrum licensed or will we end up dealing with a "tragedy of the commons" much like the 2.4 Ghz band?
