Well, if he implemented your first point, (zooming in and out from the window), wouldn't that change the scale of the window automatically? (Assuming windows are viewed with perspective)...
I thought the USPS RCR image machines were QNX, not Linux.. Anyway, the OCR machines typically catalog the images for 30 days anyway, there's just no really efficient way of sorting through all of them, yet..
P.S. I work for the company that makes some of the USPS mail sorting equipment like TMS, CSBCS, DBCS, etc..
The article says that the EFF is defending the right of companies to edit these films. Presumably, the companies would legally purchase the decryption keys to incorporate into their software.
This faces a similar problem that MP3.com and the like have seen. You can't start charging money for something that has been both free and open for so long.
The whole point of this article is that people don't like to type in passwords very often, so they set the timeout on the screen saver for a long period.
Then they walk away and the PC is left unprotected for that whole period.
I think one reason these shopping cart gadgets like calculators and computer never catch on is dirt.
Consider your own keyboard/mouse. I'm sure they're filthy. Mine are. Now imagine hundreds of different people all rubbing their dirty digits over these keypads. Yuck.
Of course, the handles on shopping carts get that dirty too, but with a keypad, it just looks disgusting.
Actually, lasers do not need to be very powerful to blind a person. You can do serious damage with a bar code scanner (this happened to someone I know).
As for the military, I used to work for a company that developed military flight suits. Part of the design for the helmets included a filtered plastic eye shield, which would protect the pilot from incidental laser light from guidance systems and the like. I would suspect something similar could be used for this, were it to actually be used full-scale on the battlefield.
Welcome to NY. It's already against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving (except in an emergency). Thanks to people who aren't able to chew gum and walk at the same time, no one can use their cell phone and drive. Idiots...
The real problem with Wilkes-Barre, and even more so with Scranton, is that they are both essentially run by the same two groups. The Catholic church, and the mafia.
You see, the DeNaples family ownes the whole fucking area. They manage to make millions a year by importing trash from New Jersey and New York. This is why they built the "Lackawanna Valley Industrial Highway". To help truck trash in more efficiently.
_Everyone_ in the area knows this, but the powers in government (mostly elected by the large Catholic population) are political fat-cats taking money from all sorts of groups. The whole political situation there is corrupt. Nepotism is rampant.
What needs to be done, is to have a federal commission investigate and remove the offending officials from public office. It will never correct itself any other way.
BTW, how does the Catholic church explain paying off 5 different families (total: $500,000) to hush them up about the reports of pedophilia? If I was Catholic, I'd be pissed that my donations went to keep priests from going to prison for playing with little boys' penises...
Yes, China is the worst country in the world. Look at how the Chinese citizens have basically zero rights. No speech, no press, no right to peaceably assemble, etc.. No basic human rights. At least in the civilized world, you don't get a bullet in the head if you try to argue a traffic ticket...
Perhaps they could use the tilt-wing concept developed for the militaries Osprey. It can take off like a helicopter, and as it moves forward the wings (which hold the rotors) tilt forward and convert the helicopter into a prop plane. As the speed decreased (stepped on brake, etc..) the wings could respond by tilting back to allow more lift, thus holding you in place when you completely "stopped".
"...particularly when the government (which can't even deliver mail across town on time)..."
The US Postal Service is not an official government agency. That's why they don't get tax money, and you have to buy stamps. However, they are regulated by the government, which is why it takes an act of congress to approve a stamp rate hike.

You'd be subjected to poor commentary with a huge liberal bias by a commusnist drone..
Right after AT&T gives up the last 'T' (for Telegraph)...
No. It didn't.

This reminds me of the saying:

Is it just me, or does this article read like a Jim Theiss story?
No, file sharing is _NOT_ illegal. Copying and distributed copyrighted works is illegal. There's a world of difference between the two.

Does that mean it will be as good as "The Eye Of Argon"? That story is a classic.. Ha.
