Even rear view cameras are still incredibly pricey add ons for most cars. I doubt much of this will be forced on us ( though with the current administration "knowing best" for how I should spend my money, who know)
The first cars didn't have rear view mirrors, and an unreliable source claimed the police worked hard to not have them installed as the drivers could see they were being followed.I could see it as being true due to my run-ins over tinted windows, they couldn't see in and didn't like that.
They do, no joke, and they have for many years. Back in the late 90s, Macs had over a 1000 viruses, linux, less than 10. (It's been a few years, I forget the exact numbers.)
Oh yea, it was awful for them. It was you purchased a Mac, learned to program and wrote virus's; or sure seemed the path of a Mac user.
If I had to have a favorite virus it would of been the Mac Energizer Bunny, while the Bunny banged a drum, and rolled across the bottom of your screen, your hard drive was being formatted.

Now I don't even bother going outside, I get the weather status via the Internet, talk to people via the Internet and watch movies via the Internet. All from a windowless room. I'm sad.

Tell you the weather, what a movie is, all kinds of neat stuff, for one.
The voice search, I have had it on my MyTouch cell phone for a few years, and on my Motorola Xoom tablet, it's an Android staple.
This weekend an example, the wind kicked up harder than normal so I "weather (my zip code)" to my tablet and saw that rain and a bit of it was headed our way. I was asked what a movie on a CD/DVD was I "movie legend" to the tablet and saw Tim Curry was in it (Rocky Horror Picture Show).
First though I tell anybody close "I'm going to talk to my cell phone/ Tablet", as I get too many odd stares if I don't.

CONservatives hate that magazine because they tell the truth. They perceive it as having a bias when it doesn't. It is simply more truthful than other news sources in the US. The reporter already confirmed the story so we know this denial is simply not true.
You only get to say woosh when the joke you made is actually funny. Stupid and slightly anti-Semitic jokes don't count.
I found it funny, to me at least. I got it and there's nothing 'anti-semitic' about it. I guess one needs to start from the top of the comments and read down, hitting his reply I lol'd.
As I recall, Ms. Goodman had no real research beyond the facts that the name was similar and he happened to do some security work under contract.
She stalked this guy, and turn his life upside down or certainly brought him a lot of attention he didn't ask for. Hell Ms. Goodman and Mr. Nakamoto are now joined at the hip be it on/. or Wikipedia.org
Ms. Goodman is at the height of her incompetence, and Newsweek ain't exactly impressing me either.
You can't trust anyone with power. Power attracts the corrupt, and corrupts everyone else. There is no such thing as a true statesman.
IANA will have some very real power, in the years to come it will corrupt them one at a time or as a whole.
A post above mentions the UN, and where I also believe the control will go in the long run.
Alt.cracks in the early 90's someone wrote of the Internet being like the wild west, I shined it on as I'd been online long before.

It's just going to get worse - or better depending upon your point of view.
I paid close to $300 for an 80 Meg scsi hard drive while my friend had a 200 Meg hard drive the size of a dishwasher (what most thought it was) for his Unix.
I kept backups on 3.5 floppies (one of three) http://i42.tinypic.com/2hwpx82... , then on 700 Meg CD's upto Blueray DVD's that hold some 24 Gigs. Only one BlueRay DVD made it though with no errors, yet no data loss.
It's cheaper, more reliable, and a damn lot easier now to make my back-ups to USB hard drives and sticking them away until needed.
Good, lets not waste time and resources metroifying things that need not be, at least not until we get some clarity from microsoft on what they're going to do to fix the mess from windows 8.
They don't fix it, they come out with another Operating System. They have a track record of every other OS not being generally accepted. Win98 > ME (flop) > XP > Vista (Flop) > Win7 > whatever you want to call Win8 (Flop)
First thing I thought of was the regulations being put on Google Glasses and they haven't even been publicly released yet.
It's pertinent now to wear a video device ones self. Look at Russia and the car cams they apparently require due to the traffic situations-accidents they can be involved in.
As a coward, I will weigh in here. The US just mentioned they are sending a destroyer to the Indian Ocean. One reason is because that Russia flew some jets near Turkey (nothing new) and the other because they have have referential information that the missing jet flew off course into the Indian Ocean.
When contact with the jet was lost it's been claimed it did a 90 turn to the left and towards the Indian Ocean, or is that what they want you to think...:}
Just a random though: has anyone checked how long, and over what distance, the plane could fly from its cruise altitude once its engines stop ?
Would depend upon the pilot. " The Airbus A330-243 suffered a complete power loss due to a fuel leak caused by improper maintenance. Captain Robert Piché, 48, an experienced glider pilot, and First Officer Dirk de Jager, 28, flew the plane to a successful emergency landing in the Azores, saving all 306 people (293 passengers and 13 crew) on board... Captain Piché had to execute one 360 degree turn, and then a series of "S" turns, to dissipate excess altitude. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
Bottom line if your flights engines quit, hope an experienced glider pilot is in control.
-To answer your question 30,000 feet and a good wind, about 100 miles. http://www.usatoday.com/story/... Google is there anything it doesn't know:}
Something I don't understand is how the plane disappeared from radar yet kept flying.
I've read elsewhere (which doesn't really mean much here) that the last heard from the jet was them saying good-bye to one controller, and were to be switching to a different air controllers. It happened during a transition in air control. So one group dropped them, fully expecting the other to pick them up.
I'm not sure if they actually dropped off the radar or just never signed onto the other.
"a result of the inadvertent inactivation of the transponder on board N600XL. Further contributing to the accident was inadequate communication between ATC and the N600XL flightcrew."
I read that part of the contract with the Rolls-Royce PLC engines required them to be monitored, yet any data sent was as mentioned just the engines looking for a reply.
I went back to reread what I read as the Corrections & Amplifications came across as non-sense and it was gone. It had updated before I reached the end.
Speaking of which, Malaysia simply needs to request #NSA for the black box backup.
Lot of truth there (in a way), one of the Governments should know what happened to it; more so because it was a jet.
That nothing is being said could be it would reveal too much about their abilities. This being a civilian jet, expendable for the for that very reason.

"Kim Stephens, attorney for one of the plaintiffs, adding that he was “shocked” by Amazon’s alleged pricing practices"
