These people that keep complaining that our freedoms are being taken away by people collecting data about us are the same ass-clowns that fill out every single Slashdot survey on the homepage... Cowboy Neal isn't an acceptable answer at a flight desk, but then again, they don't ask me what temperature my air-conditioner is set to either.
Nice to see education going down the shitter these days...
Yeah... Because applied mechanical engineering is really a waste of time. Anything legal and productive that gets kids thinking, working in groups, and motivated to work towards a goal is worthwhile in my opinion.
Yeah, and he could go hire an immigrant to sit in his back seat and change CDs whenever he wanted as well. It's the accomplishment of somebody busting their hump to create something that pretty much anybody on this site would love to have that makes it noteworthy....and I guess it's the dozen or so readers like you that knock down his creation that make it/.
The new form of terrorism... internal sabotage. These guys should be held accountable not only for the losses of this company, but the overall impact that this crap has on the U.S. Economy.
You "DO" see all of someone. As the article says, this technology just uses hundreds of cameras, and merges their information in realtime. Of course the criminal might notice the couple hundred cameras as he walks down the street.... but at least you'll have a 3D view of him as he steals one of them.
Google, along with other search engines, filters content for explicit content. Is there any other type of content that Google has considered, or currently filters as a matter of practice, and what led to this decision?
Doesn't Kazzaa still rely on a centralized server which can be shut down? That's the basical weakness of these systems.
If distributed systems like BearShare and LimeWire could provide the same experience that centralized-server based systems could provide, the RIAA would be toast. But that has yet to happen.
We can define the depth of everything on the screen by setting a start point and an end point and letting the algorithm interpolate everything in-between? And if it's off? You're either going to end up with a stretched, pixelated mess, or a bunch of anorexic midgets flying out of your TV.
"According to Pat Dunn, director of technology at DisplaySearch, an Austin, TX-based research and consulting firm, that's not all that is needed. "The question is, would you be able to get everyone to sign up for this, the film industry, the television industry, and display manufacturers?

It must be their JPEG compressed images that are saving their bandwidth... Duh!
All it took was a few new ICBM's aimed in our general direction to convince me.

So wait ... you mean I don't get any money for cramming my laptop inside an XBOX case?
Pretty much all of Netscape ... especially the 4.x breed.

Is it too much to ask for me to get sharks with FREAKIN' LASER BEAMS mounted on their heads?
Zippit...
I stop listening to people once they use the phrase "thinking out of the box".

Bring back RC Pro Am, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I'll buy a GBA.
Maybe you missed episodes IV, V, and VI ...
The acting was pretty piss poor in those too.
Sadly most of the ones I work with don't even START to think if they can...
