On those long stretches of road where you read signs that say last gas station for a 100 miles. Those are the areas where the stars come at you in 3D and you truly feel that you can grab them with your bare hands. Simply amazing.
I recently bought a Nokia N95 and Bank of America was advertising banking via mobile. Well, rather than supporting the platform and browser, they also support only specific phone models. Since I doubt the US market will embrace the N95 anytime soon, I am excluded from being able to use mobile banking. It almost has a feeling that they are in collusion with "supported" phone models from US mobile carriers.
The programmer, who needs clarity, who must talk all day to a machine that demands declarations, hunkers down into a low-grade annoyance. It is here that the stereotype of the programmer, sitting in a dim room, growling from behind Coke cans, has its origins. The disorder of the desk, the floor; the yellow Post-It notes everywhere; the whiteboards covered with scrawl: all this is the outward manifestation of the messiness of human thought. The messiness cannot go into the program; it piles up around the programmer.
According to the CNN article about this. You are not allowed to know your score, but they are willing to share this information with private contractors.
These systems are probably not capable of reading a Passport. Nor does a passport have your address listed. They could not deny you entry into such a place for not having an "ID CARD." as there are many forms of valid government identification.
He was only sentenced to 5 months, I highly doubt he will be sent up the river. Probably county jail for that period of time. And if he did go to prison which usually requires 1 year and a day on your sentence, he would be sent to minimum.
OK, if I'm not mistaken it's completely illegal to impersonate someone, and also, are phone records not considered "private" information?
What you speak of is "social engineering" and yes it is illegal, however let us not forget that they didn't social engineer, they were "pretexting." I never even heard that word used so many times until this scandal. I am so sick of how changing words can be the difference between criminal and non-criminal. This is flat out lying. But you won't hear any media use that word... it wouldn't be PC.
34 fields and not one asks for criminal convictions in their home country. In this globalized era, I am surprised that America doesn't demand this data (not that I want them to). I have personally been in trouble in my late teenage days and worry I will be denied entering other countries because of something I have done long ago and irrelavent to who I am today, but we do live in a world of collateral consequence these days.
I for one don't ever want countries to share this data unless it is serious enough to mandate it be logged by Interpol such as Murderer on the run.
Put simply you can record the quantum states of an atom/particle(or your entire body) and then send this information using a classical channel like radio. Once this information gets to your destination(eg Mars) the guys at that end can use that information to affect some particles over there, and because of Quantum Entanglement, those particles on Mars will instantly take on the recorded state. The particles at the start will then lose their state due to the no cloning therom(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_cloning_the orem). So you can teleport, but you can't teleport at greater than the speed of light because you still have to send the data to the destination.
There was an Outer Limits episode I believe called "Think Like a Dinosaur" where they would teleport the information and once verification was received, they would then vaporize the person due to the no cloning rule. However, what made outer limits what it is, is that they didn't receive immediate verification so they could not destroy the body. Later there was confirmation and the scientists had to kill her.
When I was in Japan this summer all my cousins phones were able to receive about 6-8 direct television video feeds in 16:9 format on a very large screen as most Japanese phones are becoming closer and closer to just a pure LCD screen.
The phones that the common folk in America tend to have are the free ones or the heavily subsidized phones that have small screens and are in portrait format. Another issue is variable levels of bandwidth and cost of having the additional data plan if one is required for video streams. If you can stream video, carriers do not offer full feature films or tv shows. It's always "Watch a clip from [insert show here]."
Until they start offering crisp video that isn't so compressed that it artifacts, buffers forever, cropped, and offers full feature shows, they can count me out.
On a side note: Cingular has begun the 1900MHz shutdown in Northern Virgina, Dallas, and Philadelphia I believe. Permanently switching everyone over to 850MHz (Currently, 850Mhz is required to register, but you can still be transfered to 1900) exclusively so that they can begin 3G on their 1900 band. Perhaps when this happens, we will see cable TV in our pockets.
I remember back in the mid 90's running a BBS. There was this one guy who would type 1 letter every 10 seconds or so. I would watch him play LORD each day and the minutes would expire before he was done with his turns. One day I saw him online and broke into game chat [SYSOP HAS BROKEN IN FOR CHAT]. I asked why he typed so slow. The man was paralized from the neck down and would type on the keyboard with a pencil in his mouth. After that day, I gave him 1440 minutes of access so he did not have to rush to play his turns. He told me a story about how he had dropped his pencil one day after his sister immediately left. He would just sit there sitting and watching the screen as his minutes ticked by with nothing he could do until she came home a few hours later. He found this to be a funny BBS story. The man gave me $20 a month for tying up the node. Never saw or knew him in person... but I was definately happy that my system was able to make someone like that forget about his condition and allow him to interact without people looking at him with pity.
Most of your mail spam originates from the USPS. Advertisers pay them to put inserts in every mail box. Have you noticed the ad papers never have your address written on it. I have personally attempted to stop this and all I got from the Washington Post was "How did you get on our circular?" They know damn well how you got on it. The USPS would have to carry a list of DoNotSpam names with them which would be too tedious.
It would be interesting if this data can be downloaded on a mobile and converted to TMC data (Traffic Messaging Channel) and for it to be overlayed on GPS maps without needing a traffic subscription or a TMC FM module.
Sounds like a reliable source of information to me. No, I didn't read the article. But how did that make it onto the front page? It's not news, it's gossip.
Actually, it was announced on CNBC (A financial network) this morning.
If the concerns about internal systems being disrupted by WiFI are such as big deal, why not just build Ethernet ports into new / revamped airplanes?
I realize that some people's Palm Pilots, etc. don't have Ethernet jacks. But pretty much every laptop does. Wouldn't this at least make the concerns about WiFi-related interference of flight systems just.. go away?
If internal systems were being disrupted by WiFi, Japan Airlines and Lufthansa wouldn't be offering the service. This is not the cause, something else is. As far as offering ethernet ports. I'm beginning to wonder about safety. Many people using power outlets to connect and now ethernet cables, you are just creating a wired nest on a plane that could hinder evacuation procedures.

One can just download TIVO2AVI/TIVO2WMV/TIVO2MPG for free. All you have to do is enter your Media code to decrypt the.tivo file and it will convert to basically any format. I have no doubt there are free utilities to convert from the above formats into PSP and ipod formats.
The transfer time from the tivo to the desktop is ungodly for being just 1 GB for a 1 hour show. I assume this is due to the media partition being encrypted and has to decrypt to an encrypted.tivo file on the way to the desktop.

wasn't there a plane crash a few years back caused by both planes trying to avoid a mid air collision actually moving into each other? A system which ensures the planes do actually move apart seems a good idea
There is a very simple maneuver the pilots can take to avoid a mid-air collission.
Both aircrafts turn LEFT when the emergency is brought to their attention. I believe this is taught in flight school.

Try leaving Japan sometime. They charge to leave.
I just left Japan about a week ago, I was not charged. I do this annually and never been charged to leave. I am also a US citizen however.

I saw this thread's title "Sweden's Watergate" right after reading "Debian Kicks Jörg Schilling"; so I naturally assumed it was a dupe.
And you did this when "Jörg Schilling" isn't even a Swedish name. What the hell they are all the same right?
