What they need is a protection system so that if the computer doesn't get regular external "handshakes", it'll shut itself down. (This is not for your safety, understand. This is so that the VIAA [Viagra Implant Association of America] can get its large licence fee.)
I think there was a project in Byte magazine in the 80s that used an EPROM as a camera image sensor. I forget if it just used the erasing window or if you had to get the EPROM chip naked.
Of course, those few individuals might be the first taken over by the Blight, or addicted to Aldebaran Hip-Hop music. (And you need at least three legs to dance to it...)
Another driver gave a report that the civic driver had been an aggressive jerk (note that he was a single person in the HOV [high occupancy] lane). My guess is that he wanted to slip over a lane, accelerated, looked right, looked forward and noticed the car in front was slowing, *oh sheet*ed, mashed the brakes and skidded. And then claimed he was stopped 2.6 seconds after he started to skid when "she hit me". An inexpensive solid-state flash helmetcam that keeps the last 30+ minutes of recording would have a lot buyers right now.
If this flexible armor is soft and comfortable normally, it might encourage more people to wear it all the time, as well as covering more areas. (Although the t-shirt and beanie/no helmet crowd will probably keep trying for a Darwin.)
Because you never know when someone is going to do something really really stupid! (steaming video) FYI: Dawn, the rider, escaped without broken bones thanks, in part, to good gear with armor. (I'm not going link her site for slashdotting on top of all the people who saw the video who checked to see if she was okay.)
I guess it wouldn't do for helmet padding, which compresses to suck up the force that would otherwise go to the head. (Easier to buy a new helmet than a new head.)
They were officers of the security division of Montgomery County's Homeland Security Department, an unarmed force that patrols about 300 county buildings -- but is not responsible for enforcing obscenity laws.
Were they even county officials or just rent-a-cops with delusions of grandeur that work for the county?
Either way, they shouldn't be wearing "Homeland Security" props.
You don't have to be cruel, you could play with their paranoia like this one. (Note: It's clean, but that's a code generated jpg, so who knowns what Slashdot detection hooks are in there.)
Strange. I got the impression that all the pr0n sites hotlink to each other. There's maybe only a couple sites in world that actually have anything and all the rest of pictures are perpetually floating around the net due to cache latency.
Or so I've heard.
Sen. Danforth: "There is nothing on the face of the album which would
notify you if the record has pornographics material or
material glorifying violence?"
Tipper Gore: "No, there is nothing that would suggest that to me."
Frank Zappa: "I would say that a buzz saw blade between the guy's
legs on the album cover is good indication that it's
not for little Johnny."
-- The Senate Commerce Committee hearing on rock
lyrics, from The Village Voice, 6 Oct 1985
I wouldn't be too sure about that. At least they would probably disagree.
The CRTC is vested with the authority to regulate and supervise all aspects of the Canadian broadcasting system, as well as to regulate telecommunications common carriers and service providers that fall under federal jurisdiction. The CRTC derives its regulatory authority over broadcasting from the Broadcasting Act (S.C. 1991, c. 11, as amended). Its telecommunications regulatory powers are derived from the Telecommunications Act (S.C. 1993, c. 38, as amended) and the Bell Canada Act (S.C. 1987, c.19 as amended).

I can't be worried.
What's wrong with a Turing machine with a double-helix tape?
Or a twist for tv show plots: "This man will die unless we can get him to an ATM!"

Someone better tell Steve that wearable computers are so passé.
But babies crying and people coughing and walking in front of the screen is the best part of many movies, these days.
Say neighbour, what spelling error? (The story link is to cbc.ca)

They should write a diet book.

Why would you need a watch to display the phase of the moon? Surely you know that already from Nethack.
Come on! It's not like you have to be Einstein to work in the patent office! ;)

Better make sure the field is off when you go to the store checkout, or you'll really pay for it! Beep beep *BOOM*!
