"Some are concerned simply with planning the logistics of future wars; others devise larger and larger rocket bombs, more and more powerful explosives, and more and more impenetrable armour-plating; others search for new and deadlier gases, or for soluble poisons capable of being produced in such quantities as to destroy the vegetation of whole continents, or for breeds of disease germs immunized against all possible antibodies; others strive to produce a vehicle that shall bore its way under the soil like a submarine under the water, or an aeroplane as independent of its base as a sailing-ship; others explore even remoter possibilities such as focusing the sun's rays through lenses suspended thousands of kilometres away in space, or producing artificial earthquakes and tidal waves by tapping the heat at the earth's centre.
But none of these projects ever comes anywhere near realization, and none of the three super-states ever gains a significant lead on the others. What is more remarkable is that all three powers already possess, in the atomic bomb, a weapon far more powerful than any that their present researches are likely to discover."
In short most of these new superweapons being developed are kinda pointless as we already have a weapon stronger than all of them: nukes.
Today AR is mostly just used for marketing but it might become more useful when Kinect-like devices can be miniaturized enough to fit into a phone thus allowing it to truly see and understand its surroundings.
How do video games enable violent behavior? Video games are one of the very few things you can't hurt someone with. And yes, there are stuff that make violent behavior easier but a person to be violent does not need any "enabler". You can punch someone in the face with your bare hands just fine. Also, what do you think about tha scientific rationality of statements that correlation between players of violent games and violent people must imply that violent games cause violent behavior?
This site is not a mashup but an automation tool for the non-programmer folks on the web. To an extent I always knew that most web 2.0 users could be easily automated using simple scripts but I didn't suspect it was that easy.
Did you read the article? Those people weren't clueless. They have lived in a high risk area for generations and knew that if they feel a tremor they should get out of the house immedietly. Which is what they did until the comittee went to the town in order to calm them down (supposedly under government pressure). In the meeting, one scientist said that the tremors in fact decrease the risk of an earthquake because they release the pressure. Wich sounded logical to a layman but is total bullshit. Another scientist who dared to disagree was sued and silenced.The people of the town concluded that there is nothing to be afraid of and left the precautions they practiced for centuries. This wasn't an honest mistake but deliberate spread of misinfromation.
Those who think that video games make people aggressive got cause and effect mixed up. If there is a correlation between aggression and video games it's because aggressive people like to play violent games and not because a game made them aggressive. Like the fact that most bank robbers have guns doesn't mean that guns turn people into criminals.
Limit the bandwith of your employees. There is no need for a huge bandwith if they are only viewing text sites, but downloading stuff becomes impossible.
I do think that window-based GUIs are outdated but the solution is not to transform the desktop into a giant tablet. I would like to see a multitabbed OS GUI similar to a browser.
Why don't they make a bootable antirootkit like bitdefender? That's the easiest solution to the problem. Getting closer to the metal is an uphill battle because eventually malware writers will figure out how to get there themselves, and the situation just becomes worse. In fact, as antivirus software get more and more privileges they beacome more and more like viruses. Cannot be closed, always running in the background, inspects/modifies/deletes files without your permission. Sometimes I wonder if the reason of not fixing OS bugs is that Microsoft is afraid to make AVs incompatible.

Is there a more detailed explanation of the technologies?

Is everyone here is using it now?
I never understood why Americans think that recording policeman is a civil right but if a policeman records you it's a violation of privacy.
Well for a start the Ukraineans can cut it every time they have a price debate with Russia.

They are mentioning it because the site can use Twitter.com (with a capital T).

What he did was inventing a metal-based soap. Wich is impressive, but very far from life.
