  1. Re:Wrong on Why Hal Will Never Exist · · Score: 1

    the eye is a higher bandwidth input port than the ear, but the eye is no use for output

    Nonsense! I can imagine a device that works much like a mouse but instead you wear it on your head like glasses or goggles and it tracks where you are looking at depending on the angle of your eyes and the location of the screen relative to your head...

    The technology involved in this would be far from trivial, but I refuse to believe it's impossible or impractical...

  2. Re:Canadians pay WAY less than Americans... on What's Holding Up Broadband in the U.S.? · · Score: 1

    You cannot compare internet service costs from one country to another without also comparing wages, cost of living, taxes, etc.

    And it costs $22.30/month USD, eh? But, if I'm getting broadband in Canada then I'll probably be making CAD... and CAD wages, and paying CAD taxes...

    I don't know, making such a comparison seems naive to me.

  3. Re:note to self on Australians Barred From Gambling Online · · Score: 1

    move to Australia, work up huge debt online gambling, get off scot free

    Or... move to Australia with this in mind, end up winning millions, beg them to pay you, have them 'forget' about you for 6 months, get off scot free... I'd think it'd work both ways here, eh?

  4. Re:If charged... on Student Suspended For Taking Teacher's Challenge · · Score: 1
    If the student committed a crime, then the teacher, and the software company incited the commission of a crime.

    Did you read the article?

    The article states, "The security software company has said it isn't aware of any reward for anyone hacking into its software."

    Perhaps the teacher was just kidding when he said the software company offered a reward? If so, this would clear the software company of any liability, I would think.
