That wearing Glasses has become a fashion statement. Yes, you can go and buy Glasses with lenses that do nothing so that you look more fashionable.
But seriously - that is cool beans. But if the Stem cells come from the other eye, does that mean I'm producing stem cells right now? Can I harvest it and fix my liver from a night of overdrinking? FRIDAY HERE I COME
Saying that anything I invent or discover (or along those lines) during my time working at my company - and in my spare time I decide to make Flash games...
Does that make my hobby-work belongs to a company that holds no interest in it? If it gets sponsored on a website could they claim rights?
Yeah but it'll be able to tell you whats encrypted.
Then you personally decrypt it to access it, and remove the encryption all together.
Same with compressed files and decompressing them.
There will be some amount of user interactivity, we're not calling this the magic USB stick. All it'll have to do is scan each file looking for certain flags. The SAME technology & application used in your antivirus software. All it has to do is return the directory of any file that has a.zip,.rar, or unrecognized file extension. Any file it has trouble accessing due to encryption will also be flagged.
Getting a computer to do anyones work would be considered lazy then. Back to the abacus I say. As for Encrypted files, you have to hand over your encryption Keys, and its not exactly difficult to uncompress a file. These are the sort of things that even the average computer user can understand with minimal training, like how your mom checks her email. 1. Plug USB in 2. Finds all encrypted and compressed files 3. Cop decrypts and uncompresses 4. Scans 5. ??? 6. Profit
Its not harder for the user. On the event he/she "misses" the key they just slide their finger in the direction of the proper one, as opposed to a backspace & repressing the correct key. Touch screens + triangle keyboards ftw. No. wait. Science, ftw. Its been tested.
I don't disagree on any particular point, I think it shouldn't have been optional but he did bring it up. He wants a web app that will show the location and the web app will only be located on his domain, thus only people on his domain can use the app, thus its secure. Should it be a higher priority? Definately, but his first concern was of course having it so that no one else knew about the system in the first place. How would anyone know to use a web app that only he has access to, to track down the location of his daughter? Broadcasting the location of his daughter isn't going to be unsafe for his daughter unless someone is looking to kidnap her specifically, in which case they probably already know enough about her daily schedule.
I could get a GPS implanted into me broadcasting my Long and Latitude on radio waves out to the world - is that endangering me any? As long as no one is after me, it won't do any harm. If people are after me, they've probably already kidnapped me, in which case it'll help me.
Oracle Documention wasn't as dry as a desert. I like O'Reilly because he's not afraid to converse like a regular human being in his books. I feel like I'm being taught something rather then being shown how to do it. Would I go out and by this book? If I used SQL - definately.
Right, but I figured most of today's GPS technology just based your direction on your last known movement, which is why when I back out of my driveway - the GPS assumes I was facing south but really was just moving south heading north.
But now thinking about it, I suppose for a phone which doesn't move half as much as a vehicle, a compass of that design wouldn't work. Thus using the whole magnetic north pole thing would be more useful.
I thought the iPhone already had an autofocus camera in it, and that it had a GPS (thus making a compas possible).
Either I'm thinking of something else, (maybe a smart phone? I can't keep up with phones nowadays), or none of this is anything more then cool app-work.
If there is one thing we have too much of these days is communications.
Clearly you don't see the dream behind every ICT
Instant messaging services, ERC, even email were a complex thought at one point. Signing into a server with an alias, reading and sending messages. Low and behold they caught on. And this is no different, its comprised of the same 2 activities, sending and recieving data, except this time, you don't need to sign into your MSN Messenger to check your hotmail to get the email confirmation for the forum registration password!
The question as to "Who wants more anything?" :
A Vast Majority.
Actually Totalitarians run a pretty good Gov't system. Too bad about the whole equal rights thing and the way Democracies love to liberate people and stuff. I mean hey, that Stalin guy was a bit of a dick but don't nobody say he didn't know how to run a country.
Generally speaking, the more automation a voting system has, the higher the potential for fraud.
Not necessarily. The more automation a system has, the more control is put into fewer people (IE, the system designers, administrators). This means there is less people to corrupt, thus making corruption a higher success rate, but not more potential for corruption. A system that isn't as automated requires more people to overlook the details, and with more people, the higher chance you get you'll find someone willing to commit said fraud. But since theirs so many aspects to be looked over by more people, the chance of the fraud creating a "successful" outcome, the chance of it occuring is less.
The problem with Democracy on a massive scale is that because the rest of the country outnumbers the amount of people you know - you can't be sure that your vote is either A) Properly being counted or B) Worth it at all.
This, combined with something like "The Sixth Sense" That I saw over on TED.com would be amazing, since the only pitfall to their device was that it was an actual projector you had to wear around your neck.
No, its not shocking that a tool for the job beats a "jack of al trades" - its shocking that the jack still missed third or more exploits. Hundreds out of 600? The odds are less that the janitor will break the server.... heres the kicker, its happened before.
Good thing the internet is communal and not communist, I couldn't imagine what the world would be like if the Government FORCED me to comment on slashdot articles....
Wait...
No more difficult then it would be to set up a proxy server and a firewall.
Unless Microsoft imbeds it into the console level, in which case they would have to mention that in the ToS or EULA of the new console.
That is IF its still a free country. BUM BUM BUUUUMMMM
I hope the 3 members who "reached a financial arrangement with church officials" can un-withdraw and help testify.
And if they get to keep the money - sweet!
Aren't smoke signals and flashing light based communication inferior to electricity?
How would you encode a message into a fuse without the use of some electrical device? Wouldn't that mean they have to be pre-determined messages before put into the field?
I'm sure I'm just not understanding the full symantics of how these things work.
I mean, I thought the whole "Fire the Green Flares!" thing has worked pretty well when people don't have a radio.
Slashdot Mirror
People tell me that 7 gigs right now would be overkill.
We'll wait till Crysis 2 comes out...
You just watch, new Ram from magnetic discoveries, DX11 release, the boom in multi-core computing...
Even Next Gen consoles will be amazing
It dawned on me NOW that you must be joking. "Killing dead babies" haha, how do you kill something thats already dead, zombies excluded.
Clearly stated !embroyonic (meaning NOT babies)
The Sanity!!!

No more antisocial then half the people on myspace.
At least we don't complain about it.

That is what #4 is. No one will be able to log onto his domain without his permission. #5 is an added security measure.
