The best chess players look for patterns, but through experience and insight can discard millions of possible moves and concentrate on the most effective and bring about a squence that forces their oppenent in a direction they don't want to go. Saying that I have no idea how to get a computer to do the same:)
Taxi != minicab. London taxi drivers have to pass "the knowledge", a test of route finding and locations which is meant to be quite hard, minicab drivers on the other hand are effectively anyone with a valid drivers liciense working for a local firm. I, for one, would rather take a taxi given a chocie, as the drivers tend to know where their going and take a pride in the internal condition of their vehicle.
Safety is going to be a factor, apart from people with more money than sense, its likely to be used by single females late at night, allowing them to spend as little time on the street as possible. The alternative, minicabs are not as tightly regulated and therefore the background of the driver is less likely to be known to the firm.
No details on how laggy the connections are, the difference in speed is less likely to be noticed than say the difference between a ping of 10ms and 100ms in a FPS
Identity fraud is the fastest growing crime or so I heard. If someone doesn't like you, stealing your credit card number in conjunction with a trojan to download the pics and bingo! You're a kiddie porn subscriber.
Cecil: You'll find one gets more respect as a humble civil servant than as a homicidal maniac (or a clown's sidekick). Bob: Aha! I knew it! You're still angry that Krusty picked me instead of you. Cecil: I can't imagine what you mean! Bob: Oh, come now! You wanted to be Krusty's sidekick since you were five. What about the buffoon lessons? The four years at clown college? Cecil: I'll thank you not to refer to Princeton that way!
