I'm sure the cops would like to interrogate it when ever they went past check if you ever went over the speed limit, and if you have been to any suspicious areas lately. Personally i think active radar and sensors are the way to go. If your worried about legal claims for the inevitable errors (even if its a hundred times safer than humans accidents will still happen), build any litigation costs into the cost of the product. No reason the robots can't have insurance too.
Dude i support the smart grid, hell i represent the smart grid. I work in remote real time metering, and we can already turn off and on different parts of the network from control, and supply from different feeders (that's why we don't have to work live here). My point was its a stupid analogy, everybody already has an electricity internet router on the corner of their street up a pole or underground.
We have already discovered this technology its called the bus bar (big copper / alloy strips we feed power through), tap off as many connections as you want. If you want a network switch then its a bit more complicated but basically a substation. Unless they want to share power all over the world in which case a world wide electricity gird is a lot more important.
I'm sorry but how is the company that came into the game 18 years latter the innovative one. Do you mean its lighter or that programs are automatically organized with a shortcut on the desktop.
A standing wave formed by future waves and waves from the past still seems a little spooky to me. However it seems there is still quite a bit of debate as to whether this accurately describes the situation. Thanks for the link.
Your forgeting the huge excess manufactures and retailers put ontop of the product cost. I agree that manufacturing costs in a plant will be lower than in your living room. However this technology will get better, 3d printers are on the verge of creating circut boards and even if its twice the price as in the plant and you have to buy some components, it could become feasible.
Microsoft is a 4wd/suv (lot of excess bloat that is rarely used, but quite powerful adaptable system)
Apple is a sedan (easy to drive auto; cut down system runs fast but only on apple approved highways)
Linux is a sports car (a fair bit of manual tinkering to get the best ride, then you have to run it on fairly flat but mostly curvy open source tracks)
Most of the time your right which is why we go to war, break office equipment playing games, and get into pub fights, but large groups of males have done some pretty incredible things. I'm not saying it wouldn't of happened if a woman was there (it may of even happened faster) but the guys have proved them selves. It may be a case that the heard is only as fast as its slowest member, then throw in increased adrenaline due to peer pressure and bingo you have your retard.
This is still the most ridiculous story I've heard in a while. There is no such thing as an IQ that's too high when dealing with high risk, high stress situations. Every time your adrenaline gets going your IQ is halved. So if a cop has an average IQ (100) and sees a teenager that could be reaching for a gun (or a handkerchief), bang suddenly that cop is a retard with an IQ of 50. If you ask me (which no one is) we would be better off with all the 150 IQ judges out patrolling the street (should probably give them some backup), you might even be able to discuss something with them. High IQ people are most likely kept out of the police force because they cause to many problems internally. What i don't understand is if the guy in the story was so smart, why didn't he change a few of his answers to wrong ones?
I don't know of any products that would do this but some one should make it. If you build an office in a computer game but integrate web cams or xbox kinects so you got real time real life images of your workmates, then display it on a projector or an extra screen. This way you get all the advantages of working in an office team, while being able to relax on a boat next to a Caribbean island (which has good wifi). Also depending on your business a great way for clients or contractors from any where in the world to communicate with the whole team. Given 5 years and light weight good res video glasses, (or eventually holograms and hacking of the optic nerve) this will be even more feasible.
This is the report from software engineering put it in the bathroom i want to wipe my ass with it. They don't tell me what version of web to invent i tell them, and i'm telling them to cram 3 more webs in there. I don't care if they have to install one of the webs at right angles to the others. What part of this don't they understand if web 1.0 was good and web2.0 is great then web5.0 is going to be amazing. Stop. I just had a stroke of genius. Are you ready? Open your mouth, baby birds, cause Mama's about to drop you one sweet, fat nightcrawler. Here she comes: Put another dot zero on that fucker, too. thats right web 5 with two point zeros. It's a whole new way to think about the internet. Don't question it. Don't say a word. Just key the music, and call the chorus girls, because we're on the edge—the virtual edge—and I feel like dancing.
Linux on a tablet sounds great but it needs a lot of work before its ready. Touch is apparently implemented but it dosn't always work. Accelerated graphic is rarely implemented by any one. A new interface is needed because you can't fit the same amount on the screen any more. Maybe when this plasma active or ubuntu 11.4 comes out it will solve these problems, but at the moment your better off putting up with android. The "kno" tablet i belive runs ubuntu out of the box but it is a 13inch screen.
We could argue numbers all day I’ll round down while you round up (i can't find the original new scientest article but i seem to recall them saying it would slash launch costs to 1/10th if not 1/100th the conventional price) but i'll give in due to the fact that if it was truly profitable, as well as expanding our exploration foot print, some one would be building one (maybe the gfc slowed it down). It wont be any where near 1000gs because you can build the speed up gradually (and providing you have a large enough radius). The heat build up once it leaves the vacuum of the rail gun and hits the air would be more of an issue. have a nice day.
Except it is unbelievably bad at it. touch only works half the time, accelerated graphics hardly ever works, trying to get 3g to work is a pain, accelerometers are practically useless, onscreen keyboard non existent. I think I’ll wait for 11.4 and unity ui to improve before i try it again. I love the concept of a Linux tablet but unless your a super duper programmer its probably not quite there.
If we can cope with re-entry into the atmosphere and we are launching probes into some of the harshest environments around, I think we can deal with the forces on the payload. We have roughly 4000 satellites in orbit at the moment, and i would expect the same number of launches over the next 20-40 years. As old tech comes down and new tech we want up there becomes available. Currently it can cost up to $50, 000, 000 to launch a satellite it doesn’t take that many of those to make it economically feasible. If that’s not enough and the military don’t want to rent it, we could start a same hour package delivery service to any latitude or longitude on earth (if we cross a time zone it might actully arive in the past).
Good point on the balloons. The trick with the rail gun is to have a circular track so you cut down on the distance and you can build speed gradually (cutting down on peak energy demand), however then you need a quick way to change the trajectory to launch it; catching it at the other end wont be a walk in the park either. It wouldn't be cheap but it could be quite profitable launching satellites and what not. Maybe if we convinced the government they could put soldiers or bombs in a pod and shoot it to any spot on the globe during the week, then it could be used for working on interplanetary exploration on weekends.

gotta burn fuel to run a gas station.
Lets use robots, to make it a bit easier.
Yeah but two 5.5 inch screens only a really stupid company could do that.

Microsoft has been making touch phones for longer than apple.
If they made an Xbox 360 tablet with dual thumb sticks i would be interested.

Still, how long before pirating no longer applies to just data?
How do you explain that when you change the spin of one you change the spin direction of the other aswell?
Yes, but i don't think you need to be all that smart to do that.
I meant the IQ was average, this man would of been a genius in his field.
