Bullshit.You are either intentionally being a troll or are just ignorant. Privacy is not a matter of respecting people's wishes. The right to privacy in any country would be dictated by the laws of that country. If the constitution of UK says that photographing from a street is illegal then the google crew should be arrested, else, the villagers should STFU. If they want and value their privacy, then why don't they come up with the money to make it a gated community huh? Social rules are nice to talk about over wine and caviar, but when push comes to shove, the only rules that really matter are those which are defined by the law, not what someone thinks is their definition of privacy. What if I say that my expectation of privacy is that google should not photograph *anything* in my city. Would that work? Why the hell not? Who gets to define what is a _reasonable_ expectation of privacy? Those village idiots? You? Me?. The answer is, none of the above. The only definition of privacy is as enshrined in the law of that country, the rest is just morons trying to push their world-view onto other people. That sort of mental-masturbation is the cause of most of the world's problems.
To understand that, you will have to first realize that not all of the humanities are BS and that politics/philosophy is a discipline as structured as programming. Until you overcome that bias, it will all be Greek (heh heh) to you.
Is that a tacit admission that some humanities are, indeed, BS? (heh heh) to you.
Despite the bewildering complexity and variety of Chinese characters, there are actually a very limited set of ways to pronounce them.
Actually it is the other way around in terms of cause and effect. The Chinese Script (Kanji) evolved because there are very few phonetic variations in the spoken language and they needed a way to make sure that you can mean different things even if essentially the same sounds are coming out of your mouth. Ditto for Japanese as well. The phonetic range is severely limited compared to say English or Sanskrit. You may find this interesting

Do you have any idea how the Blackberry platform and the BES work? Why would the BES Account need any user's password? The BES account needs send on behalf and other privileges on the user mailbox obviously but password?
Nah. Just a guy, who, when faced with with a crappy situation tries to figure out a way to make the best of it. Of course, if I were any smarter, I would simply bitch and moan and wait for someone to come to my rescue instead of using my own brain to figure something out.

reinstall your computer? Not to sound overly pedantic but geez, I would not expect that kind of language on slashdot, less so from a poster with a low uid.
My ISP is Yahoo BB here in Tokyo and my monthly average is around 300-320 GB DL/month. Mostly (~95% )because I stream a lot of video news from the U.S. and the odd distro(available on servers local to Japan).I end up paying around $35 for a 50MBPS connection.
Indiana (I know cows are sacred in India) seems like a prime candidate for studying cows from space. In 2005 Indiana University released a complete set of aerial photos of the whole state that had as high as 6" per pixel resolution.
India is a country. Indiana is a state in the U.S. Which one are you talking about?
Let's say you have cancer, and I kick you in the nuts (assuming you have any). Now, should your doctor stop telling you about chemo because you got kicked in the nuts?

Very well said.

After all, (and I will be modded down for stating this fact)
Except you weren't modded down. You were, as you knew perfectly well you would be, modded up.

Great. Who would have thunk that patents were object oriented.
