And if the 18 year old releases it, but upon turning 26 finds out an insurance company turned him down because something in the video indicated a health issue predisposing him to cancer?
What makes you think an 18 year old will make a decision about the video they won't regret when they are older? Given that, what's the difference between parents making that decision for data in their own house?
Besides, 18 years of age is an arbitrary amount of elapsed life. Why not 16? Or 30? Can the parents skirt the issue by having signs posted around the house saying "video and audio of this room is recorded between xam and ypm."? You don't have copyrights to video of yourself in public when this type of notice is up.
Personally, I'd rather this data be published since it's collected for understanding humans in general. Also, I think it would have been nice to have seen the parts of my childhood I cannot recall.
They should consider selling this to the public once the data requirements are met by a cheap PC.
"Ummm... Okay, buy me lunch then and we'll call it good?" "No." "Bummer. Because talking to you left me with little time to go grab something to eat. I have another meeting with [insert patent violator's #1 competitor] to discuss selling the patent to them. So, I should probably leave so I can prepare for that discussion." "Hmmmmm. Come to think of it, there may be something we could work out." "And lunch?" "Yes... lunch is a great idea."
Keep in mind, large corporations have a lot to lose and lots of enemies bigger than you. Just because you're too small to take them on yourself doesn't mean their competitors wouldn't jump at the chance to sue them for patent infringement. Sell out to one of them.
nothing to see here, move along. You are obviously not following the conversation, but rather picking and choosing details to lump into one stupid thought.
University of Florida did this with their stupid student loan system. One of the loads was with Sallie Mae. Sallie Mae outsourced their call centers to India.
I got into an argument with an Indian for refusing to give my number to a foreign national. I told them to pick something else to verify. They kept refusing. Eventually, I got my way.
Hey man, knowing little details like this got my my current girlfriend - a software developing, home-owning, partying, big-boobed, brunette with insane cooking skills, hot friends and a slight curiosity about other women.
So you, refrigerator magnet boy and mister puberty who also commented can all go home together for all I care. Yours is a lame comment, even by Slashdot standards.
That's the problem with stories without data. Noone can build upon the data by further examing the building and pointing out, for example, that it was built back when asbestos was a popular insultation. Or that it's a four story poured concrete structure, not a steel high-rise.
The best stories have links to the data set. Whomever in mainstream media or among bloggers understands that will win the information race...
Nah, this isn't a steady distortion. This is occilating with the transmission. Hence the wavelength comment. The point is, a cell phone isn't a magnet - it's an electromagnet. And note that I didn't say anything about tumors, you did.
But if you want to be a smart-ass, let's compare your refrigerator magenet to a cell phone in another way. Take a 9 volt battery and a 12v power supply. Break the latter open and hook the 9 volt battery up to the two smaller wires. Now hold the other two in each hand. OMFG! You have 90 VOLTS RUNNING THROUGH YOU! But wait, it doesn't hurt, does it. Now, have a friend disconnect the battery...
There is a difference between a steady electromagnetic field and a fluctuating one. That's a reason comparing the earth's magnetic field to a mobile phone's doesn't work either.
You've probably heard the interference your phone generates in your radio.
Do you still have a CRT Monitor, and not a flat panel? Here's a fun experiment. Take your cell phone, dial up a number on it and place a call. Now, hold it up to your CRT - the emag field from it skews the electron stream in distinct waves. You can probably correlate the frequency the phone operates on to the wavelength on the screen if you know your monitors vertical refresh.
Regarding eclipse being the first for refactoring support, sorry, no. They just didn't call it that before. Netbeans supported changing a file name in the same manner as the windows explorer - just select the name. Eclipse, you actually have to click the buzzword first: Refactor - rename.
Netbeans was scuttled in release 4 - it may as well be eclipse at this point - they destroyed everything that was unique and useful about it to drop into project -centric purgatory. Their problem - they put all their weight in developing GUI's first. But their default webapp support was far better than eclipse is now.
Beyond 3.51, though, yeah, netbeans is garbage. Used to be great though. Wish it would have forked. I'd be on the other branch.
Do you remember what version of netbeans? Post 3.51 is trash. Prior to that, webapp development on it rocked.
Netbeans autocomplete end-tags by default. In eclipse, it's a plugin. Eclipse used to "forget" that a project was scm's in cvs and I had to rebuild the project more than once. Neither support subproject any more, where netbeans used to be more forgiving about directory structures. You could mount anything.
And don't get me started about UI development in eclipse and the "overhauled" netbeans. It used to be excellent in the latter...
I'm guessing you haven't been programming Java for long. Netbeans was a great IDE until Eclipse came and muddied up the water. The process of mounting source trees and libraries was intuitive and didn't interfere with actual development.
Eclipse blows chunks compared to the 3.5.1 netbeans. Since then though netbeans ~= Eclipse. Damn shame
Also, have you tried running SWT on platforms other than Windows?
And why do you say open sourcing Java is required for distribution with Linux? The only problem with Sun's license is the distribution rules.
Although it's possible you have a point, I cannot believe you cite Eclipse as an example - that pos halts and leaves you looking at a blank menu bar more times than I care to count. It's mere existence all but trashed what was a great user experience in Netbeans by causing them to chase the competition with the project-centric crap. Project-centric with no subprojects - utter shortsightedness.
I don't care what anyone says - your IDE isn't supposed to limit your options for setting up a project.
And performance wise, eclipse is trying to be pluggable ad-nauseum - it doesn't help performance if you're trying to run all of your tools within the same app - what's the point of a multi-threaded os then?
There's not a lot wrong in Swing that doesn't have a equivalent problem in swt.
What's more, the company is ripe for a pump & dump. He has an immense interest in going public, getting the stock value up in the air, then selling out. Hell, he actually had a profit holding company named Treasure Solutions in Florida and an offshore trust.
Again, from the SEC filing, "Jeffrey A. Citron, our principal stockholder, founder, Chairman and Chief Strategist, will own 48,427,617 shares of common stock, or 31% of our common stock."
Pay careful attention to the following quote. The guy is into illegal profiteering:
("NASD") rules restricted use of the SOES system to small retail customer orders and prohibited broker dealers from using SOES to trade for their own accounts. By fraudulent means, defendants Sheldon Maschler, Citron, McCarty, Erik Maschler, and Heartland used the SOES system to execute millions of proprietary trades, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in illegal profits. The great majority of these profits were paid to Sheldon Maschler and Citron, but other defendants profited as well. The fraudulent scheme was carefully planned and orchestrated, and was concealed from regulators through the use of sophisticated software, the creation of nominee accounts and fictitious books and records, and the filing of false reports with the Commission. Defendants Sheldon Maschler, Citron, McCarty, and Erik Maschler carried out the fraudulent scheme from 1993 to March 1998 while in control of Datek Securities. Defendants Sheldon Maschler, McCarty, and Erik Maschler carried out the scheme from April 1998 through June 2001 while in control of Heartland, which had purchased Datek Securities' day-trading business on March 30, 1998. Defendant Raft Investments, Inc. ("Raft") aided and abetted the SOES fraudulent scheme.
On top of that, hemoraging all their income on marketing repeatedly emphasize the massive risk associated with buying the stock at IPO. "Neither Vonage nor any of the underwriters are recommending that you purchase Vonage common stock in this program."
Last of all, at least if you are using Firefox, you can't get through all of the steps - they refer to a next button which isn't there.
Indeed. In fact, I before I thought about that, I tried to login and couldn't, despite being a user since 2003. So I check whois for their registration information. You're right to be wary though - I got greedy and jumped in...

4% = 72 minutes of pooping per day. I'd say that bad.

Hopefully there's some progress on that front.

Probably correlates nicely with the number of US citizens who don't bother to vote.

The answer to this is yes - I'm sure they have a contract and are getting paid to do this.
