Since when is probable cause (scanners are pretty fucking accurate) for a crime in progress (jamming licensed frequency is very much a crime) not justification for a stop and search? That's even more accurate and specific than a damn drug-sniffing dog!
My bank actually has my photo on file (they scan your drivers license). If I lose my entire wallet, I can walk in a they'll issue me new cards after a signature verification.
Not really. Even if 90% of people buy the standard definition version, you still have to shot, generate and store the HD version for the other 10%. The only thing they actually save is bandwidth, and they'll probably team up with ISP's so they don't have to worry about that either.
Sort of. Simple triangulation is more difficult, but if you know generally what route he's taking, just stand on the side of the road with a scanner and wait for it to go ape-shit as he drives by. You should be able to narrow it down to a half-dozen cars at that point and then have another cop 20 meters down the road motion for them all to pull over.
What we need are window managers that handle the "tabbing" natively. This whole thing with every application having to implement its own non-standard tab system is completely stupid. Not only will it simplify applications, but they'll also all be the same. Right now the way tabs works is equivalent to every application using a different window decorator with the minimize/close buttons in random places.
Someone please tell me I'm reading that wrong. The fas.org website has a network map labeled "Topographic" with a link to a.ppt file containing nothing but a larger copy of the same image. Did this guy write their website?!?
I was thinking more along the lines of simple protection from rain or spilled wine. Phones/etc you can put relatively securely into your pocket. Watches tend to stay at the exposed end of your upper-most limb with nothing more than a few inches of fabric to protect them.
Holy crap, which ISP's stock are you holding onto praying it goes back up?!? If ISP's had increased their capacity like they were supposed to YEARS ago and stopped over-selling their intentionally crippled network there wouldn't be a problem. Split the ISP's from the content providers and maybe North America won't be stuck in the technological dark ages for the next generation as well.
I'm not sure that's it. The attraction to (or lack thereof) for IT fields seems to start a lot earlier than college.
I remember in high school going to the Skills Canada competitions where there were competitors in everything from cooking and plumbing to electronics and airplane mechanics. I think I saw more females competing in aircraft mechanics (by which I mean repairing engines) than any of the IT related fields (robotics, computers, etc). Note: this was at the provincial level, so we're talking about a fairly large area being represented.
I've also noticed very, VERY few women even starting college in the IT field. Our first year diploma program had 3 women in a class of probably 150-200 people.
I am NOT saying that women are not as good at IT as men, only that fewer of them seem interested in it. The women I have met in the IT field were pretty much at the same level as the men, there just weren't as many of them.
If all IT and garbage collection workers stopped showing up for work in a given city, nobody would be saying "hey, has anyone seen the guy that normally sits here burning through keyboards?"

Others may view that as a security liability.

Yes, and then you walk past each of them with the scanner...

Well, except for it having barely half the capacity. That's why so many xbox games come with 2 disks (1 for install, 1 for play).
Yeah, I find it hard to call something a "full-featured pc" if you can't even install Firefox.
Report her for illegally sending cash in the mail?
FedEx, Purolator, UPS and DHL may not agree with you on that one.

Really? Is that why firefox, with only 6 tabs (mostly just text) open, is currently using almost half a gig of ram?

Do you use a shared computer? Perhaps your son/daughter is into something dangerous and your wife is feeling too neglected to deal with it herself.

We actually have very little data to confirm or dismiss whether humans feel pain while unconscious. Did you mean subconscious?
Oh, oops. I just realized you were probably refering to people who get TV, Phone and Internet on the same bill.
$140/month is average? Are you sure you did the math right?
Or not http://yro.slashdot.org/story/...
Good grief. $1.75Million and they didn't even waterproof it?!?

Fair enough, I was just going by the title of the wiki page.
