is who cares? Why does the rental company care if the driver gets the speeding ticket? It's the renter's insurance that increases and their licence that gets affected.
And as for the "humanitarian reasons" for the GPS monitoring, I'll assume next that they will only rent out economy cars and not the gas guzzling sport utes or luxury cars because they have adverse effects on the environment. Perhaps they will only rent electric cars.
what IBM will come out with by 2004. The amount of potential that is there for game consoles is staggering and I think IBM is one of the companies that can do some real damage here.
I just hope you don't have to get IBM to service your PS3, that could take years.
"The thing that people value about it is its borderlessness, and the fact that it is not centralized. They have control of what they see or don't see on their own desktops, and they'd rather not have that taken over by their own government or by foreign governments."
It's the fact that you don't know that your crossing boundaries, and that should be our right.
The advertising implications are significant, but they're not all negative. Translation: We'll make alot of scratch.
But advertisers might actually grow to like nCube's PVR, he said, because the central control over distribution of the product will allow a cable operator to inject "targeted" advertising. Translation: Viewers will hate it but we'll have money coming out of our hoo-hoos.
Some experts have suggested that advertisers will focus increasingly on "imbedding" advertising in the programs, via a split screen, an unobtrusive logo, or product placement as a "prop" in the show.
Translation: This will be annoying as hell but we'll be rolling in dough.
Executives at networks that rely more heavily on advertising for revenue are far less enthusiastic about the concept of putting the viewer in control. Translation: They think it sucks the way it is now.
people are going to get really tired of this big bully.
Kind of like Microsoft? The people that don't know anything about it won't care obviously (ignorance is bliss) and the people that do care hardley have any power anyway. We just have to continue to put up the good fight.
The prototype version of the Hi-Muse is based on a choice of either a 733 MHz Pentium III or a 533 MHz Celeron Intel x86 processor, with 64MB of RAM memory.
Oh great, someone has a walkman / clockradio that more powerful than my PC at home. Geeks have the coolest shit.
Children now days think they're old enough to know what's best for themselves but they don't. They cannot see the true consiquences of some of their actions and it's scary. This is an extremely efficient way for parents to stay informed about about their childrend's school life. The kids will thanks their parents later, I did.
yeah, right. I don't care about ripping movies either. I don't think I could bring myself to copy a DVD. It's just plain wrong.
I thought about it once, but never again. I never feel clean anymore
What is at issue with the GPL? In a nutshell, it debases the currency of the ideas and labor that transform great ideas into great products.
It takes great minds to evolve great ideas into great products. It also is up to those great minds to decide where and how they would like to implement those ideas. Don't be so condescending.
I was waitng for Paul's next book. I had just finished "Directions to the Fountain of Youth", "The Complete Inner Workings of the Female Mind" and "The Meaning of Life". His new novel sounds like it's going to be a good read.

"Ode to the Spell Checker!
Eye halve a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
