well... obviously the car manufactures should not hire the developers behind windows 98 and IE 5.5 because they do horribly insecure work.
there are already 100s of processing units in modern cars trusting 1000s of signals. when the implementation is correct, a correct purpose can be served
granted the recent problems with toyota's accelerator signals suggests a slide in quality of implementation, but i still think it's very possible to make a trusted mesh network to establish lanes, and actively sense other cars approaching your position in your lane, and also accept signals from other cars that believe the same thing, and then react by not allowing the cars to move closer to each other, or backing off on the accelerator of one of the cars.
and just to further point out how stupid your analogy is, you are comparing life on the line mission critical hardware to an operating system that allows you to play solitaire.
cars can much easier be made to drive themselves when they communicate with each other. i think working towards that goal would save lives. perhaps that doesn't seem important to you because of the unemployment rate... or maybe you just don't like people because they don't like you... perhaps because you pose ignorant analogies?
airplanes automatically pull up when they detect you are too close to the ground or approaching a mountain. why on earth don't we just trust the pilot to not move about 200 tons of equipment and 100s of people at 10 times the speed of cars into a mountain? oh wait, i forgot.
The basis of I Am Legend (the movie) was the modification of a virus to selectively treat cancer. Unless these "nano-bots" learn to replicate themselves, I think we'll be alright.
if you are trying to move into my lane, i want my car to be able to send a signal to your car to not allow that to happen. i fully understand the implications and trust our justice system to prosecute rogue signal transmitters. many cars already implement rev limiters, so the only issue is trusting the signal.
of course politics is a giant conspiracy... do you know what the word means? "To join or act together"... political parties are inherently a giant conspiracy, and more so as the number of contending parties approaches 0.
so yes, you were absolutely right about what is going on, and yes there is paranoia... it does in fact exist... you are not wrong about that, and yes, then there is us guys... i am here... right again.... and just like all the other ignorant spinsters insulting the public with double speak and backhanded baseless accusations, YOU HAVE MADE NO ACTUAL CLAIMS.
so, to appease me.... please, just make the blanket claim that i am wrong... can you do that?
statistics that do not imply any discredit is deserved.
list all of the requests and who they came from. then another report grouped by requester. then another report grouped by request topic. then another report attempting to group requesters into organizations.
i personally could request something, have it denied, then copy the same request 20,000 times and run up the numbers.... so, to quote a somewhat intelligent conclusion about data prone to that type of abuse: "This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane."
or don't you think that discrediting government is "important"?
Is funding undercover reporting somehow unacceptable? Or only when you don't like the results?
the point wasn't whether or not it was acceptable... the point was that, YES, it happens...... which was in response to someone that argued it was paranoid to assume it MIGHT happen.
the idiocy and hypocrisy rampant in these counter arguments confounds me. you all can't really be this close minded and stupid.... but i don't deny the possibility.
ah yes, but you mentioned the necessary large explosion, and that would harm the status quo, so everyone in "the gang", get to your computers and start modding down.
so they can fabricate a story to the end of undermining a popular campaign promise of open government and retake control of the office of president of the united states.
your jokes aren't funny... more like elitist, entitled, judgmentalist ramblings.
artists have free time? oh, i get it. you're stupid. that's hilarious. dumb people.
unless it was THEIR JOB to make the requests... how many people does the GOP employ? what do they do? they have enough money to run multiple 24/7 cable news channels... what do the make-up artists do while glen beck is on camera?
i got a troll mod too for suggesting the numbers were being run up... obviously if the conspiracy is worth all the trouble of submitting the requests, it's worth the same to maintain enough accounts on popular websites supporting moderation features to kick down all the troublesome thinkers.
this story is meaningless until all of the requests are categorized and filtered for duplicates and irrelevant items.... perhaps 20,000 of the requests were for information on troop counts on mars... should the government respond?
i don't care for either of the established "sides" of government, i'm just pointing out the massive amount of fluff in stats like the ones presented in this article... completely useless.
you don't think the copyright owners would be all over a smaller solution that would allow someone to go through a newstand and copy every current issue of every magazine? libraries are usually at least an issue behind, and don't stock every magazine available at newstands.... well... last time i was in a library that's how it worked... i don't find much use for them anymore.
a service like the one i described could give libraries new life and purpose.
you seem to be the one trolling me... you stated that you couldn't even image what google could be thinking "allowing" someone to use a term that they didn't have a trademark on, because it caused confusion with a trademark they did have a trademark on.
what they were probably thinking is THEY WERE NEVER IN THE POSITION TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO DO THAT.
since when can we not do something unless google allows us to?

good luck with all of your future propagandary.
Wow. There's paranoia, and then there's you guys.
guys who see through the propaganda and lies?

am i missing something? no one is going to explain this?
ah yes, but you mentioned the necessary large explosion, and that would harm the status quo, so everyone in "the gang", get to your computers and start modding down.
so they can fabricate a story..... I was joking.

stop being stupid.
buy guns.
i am confused.
this story is meaningless until all of the requests are categorized and filtered for duplicates and irrelevant items.... perhaps 20,000 of the requests were for information on troop counts on mars... should the government respond?
i don't care for either of the established "sides" of government, i'm just pointing out the massive amount of fluff in stats like the ones presented in this article... completely useless.
it wouldn't surprise me if anti-obama spinsters would repeatedly request denied items just to contrive this story. out of context it's meaningless.
in the end, it's only a problem if the person listening is an idiot...
a service like the one i described could give libraries new life and purpose.
we just need a few at libraries to digitize everything for everyone... no need to make it any smaller.
The people who create the apps serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his anger.
last i checked, fear-mongering was pretty evil...
bad move, google.
i guess what you're saying is that phone manufacturers that utilize the android OS serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his anger. no?
Even though the words "marketplace confusion" remain the same, they refer to different types of confusion.
and you are saying that SOME of the types of confusion apply and some don't. i don't think you understand what the word "totally" means.
what they were probably thinking is THEY WERE NEVER IN THE POSITION TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO DO THAT.
since when can we not do something unless google allows us to?
yeah, 3 minutes ago
We Americans need to come up with our own, incompatible, standard for charging vehicles.
i'm sure apple and sony are already on it
i am still completely correct. mexicans aren't "the most part".... yet.
