Why are they placing this in mannequins' eyes? They just figured that mannequins approximate people and people see with their eyes, so voila? There are many face-level places to stash a camera that wouldn't "spur shops to adjust window displays and store layouts" and cause owners to rearrange the store to place a dummy somewhere that doesn't make sense. Forget the mannequin and put the camera in the wall! Place it in the rear of a window display! Stick it in a mannequin's eye if you want to! Then wire the data to the security room and analyze and log it there.
Or, just stop being invasive and don't do it at all. I would love to find a way to determine actual ROI on this type of investment. I would guess (and hope) that the results would be dismal.
my recollection of informal research is that caffeine is only safe to a certain point. Too much caffeine, like too much testosterone or steroidals, can be dangerous.
Or too much water, too much calcium, too much of anything. In determining the safety of ingesting something, one must evaluate the ease of staying within limits that are unlikely to produce negative results, and the likelihood and consequences of the negative results in comparison to the benefits.
Why make things so complicated? Just use the speakers and play a recording of the pistol shot with no real pistol. Reminds me of the Jack Handey quote:
"Instead of raising your hand to ask a question in class, how about individual push buttons on each desk. That way, when you want to ask a question, you just push the button and it lights up a corresponding number on a tote board at the front of the class. Then all the professor has to do is check the lighted number against a master sheet of names and numbers to see who is asking the question."
Anarchist is a label for people who refuse to be constrained by society's limits. And one of those limits is not to kill.
Wrong, Anarchism in it's truest form is closer to socialism than chaos. Anarchism and lawlessness aren't the same. Anarchists don't want to abolish government so that they can go push old ladies down the stairs, that's a rebllious teenager's point of view. Anarchists just want everybody to be equal no person above or below any other in terms of power or pull. An anarchistic society would still have rules, but they would be decided by the community, there would be no police because the people of the community are responsible for it, every man, woman, and child. Please don't comment on things you know nothing about.
Correct. People seem to be confusing anarchy with nihilism; they are not the same.
I think his record is $80,000 of garbage recycled for free so far, including shipping costs.
That is funny, but I am having a hard time picturing the scammers receiving crates of garbage and then shaking their fists and shouting, "Grrr, now we have to properly and responsibly dispose of all this waste!!!":)
I agree with all of this and suspect that Google will not go for this (though they probably should, even out of self-interest, to become more closely associated with the big players in social media and to potentially promote the use of G+) this type of integration is exactly what we want to see and should be encouraged. I am glad to see any efforts to have the great minds in the room collaborating to leverage our technology and create something beneficial to users, again, even if done out of self-interest. So often we see the limitations of the technology we have not being met and pushed because of intentionally locking down devices and software, and it is a real shame. This type of interaction between competitors is a good thing.
I recently gave up cable tv and started looking for VGA->component connections, and the first place I thought of was Newegg, despite the fact that I am not using a PC. Fortunately for them (and users), they are fairly unlimited in what they offer, at a relatively low price, and with an observed high-level customer service. Overall, not a bad business model, and one other companies could try to emulate.
Agreed. I can't even watch the Viewpoint scenes from Assassin's Creed in HD without getting queasy. Standard Def from the low-to-the-ground safety of a bean bag chair, please!
a few weeks after you buy a 'smartphone' some other model makes yours a POS.
I hate that people think like this. I sort of understand it, but you have to keep in mind that the introduction of a new phone (or computer/car/whatever) doesn't turn yours into a POS. Just remember why you bought it and be happy with what you have.

Wait, did I just ruin it???

Well, that's not how Quibids makes money. They make money because that Macbook was not sold for $67, it was sold for $67+$66+$65+$64...$1.

Your tense are all wrong!
I mean other than the obvious that NBC is now owned by a cable company...
Because NBC is now owned by a cable company.

SNNAAAARRRKKKK!!!!!

Simple!
I think the US is one of the exceptions, where the more affluent population continues to have more than multiple children.
Can you share a source that cites just how many more than multiple? :)

Unfortunately for you, your numbers are off, as they sum to 43. SO close, but you are off by 1.
I just googled that question and got the response, "Yes, I can." So there ya go.
How come Slashdot never gets Slashdotted?
If I had mod points, I would rate your sig Insightful. So every time you post anything, Boom - Insightful. :)

Also, in your example, if you go back to year one and kill one fish and one elephant, you would have one fish and one elephant left.
Try reading again. Go back to the END of year one. You would have one elephant and 9,999 fish. A bit different.

Some people (well one person) would argue that Napster was that company that Justin Timberlake STOLE from Seth Green.
Not true. The Boston police have a Twitter page that allows them to post updates and respond to citizens' questions, and it has scaled beautifully.
Since when do police apartments need to look trendy?
Since the police got addicted to watching "Divine Design" on HGTV, of course!
in fact the local pastor just recently told me "I wanted to let you know what a fine young man you have in your oldest.
The local pastor doesn't consider himself to be a "fine young man", does he??? Just a thought. :)

The applications which people perceived as "Wave" today is absolutely not the "Wave" people will see tomorrow.
I am anxiously awaiting 12:00AM EST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
