So basically my fear with self driving cars is that they'll be like a friend that seems to always seems to stop late and be on the bumper of the car in front of you, but never gets into an accident. You know the type where your grabbing the door or ceiling handle and cringing... And this is coming from someone that gets regular evil eyes when I get onto a crowed subway.
If someone felt like it and they were using android they might have a few options
1. integrate true crypt 2. Use seandroid for MAC controlls 3.consider integrating hardware crypto (check out go trust, they have a microsd card with integrated crypto and storage. Its going for FIPS 140-2 level 3 as we speak and has a consumer oriented pricepoint), $100, not including SDK to create your app)
Ah, to your comment "There's something that bothers me about companies that sell the exact same product for two prices and the only difference is some switch is thrown on the more expensive one. But maybe there's more to it than that." There is something more to it...
While there may be only minor technical differences to the cards, the real difference is in the software. In a nutshell when you're buying the "inexpensive" card, you're not paying for the extra costs that NVidia (or ATI) incurs when they must expend resources to provide drivers that support the high-end applications. So unless you want consumers that could care less about the high end features to pay more, and the people that care about these features to pay less, you'll probably be happier with differentiated products in this way.
Don't forget companies are there to make money, and if they're not able to do this then either the company or product is likely to disappear. Personally I'd rather have NVidia around, if I need the high-end features, I'll figure out how to afford it...
My employeer tends to have "semi-private" offices (meaning a couple people per room based on size) and then have a number of team rooms. In our corporate offices you tend to work multiple projects at a time, so dedicated team rooms don't make sense for us.
Now as for my client, they generally just throw people in to the cub farm, and see what happens, unless you're a high priority project, then they find a room, so right now 7 of us got split off into a seperate room. It's been a lot better for team collaboration, except for the fact we have no whiteboard space, only 3x4 boards, but that's a problem with the size cubes. I've been thinking of just buying a board for the team, putting it up on the wall, and moving on.
Basically I installed the x64 version, and I'd say compared to the XP x64 version the experience was worse. My challenge is that I want to do testing of 64 bit apps such as Exchange 2007 (using VMWare of course.) This makes me wish I had bought the Linux version of VMWare a few years back instead of Windows, as VMWare won't let you switch versions.
UI kept on crashing, Office 2003 install took so long I decided to give up and move back to XP on x86. Thinking about trying Vista x86, but at this point I needed a stable machine.
Power outages? I guess we'll have to setup solar cells on everyone's house, or backup generators.
What happens is that you can have the number forwarded to another number if there is a power outage. Now that's likely to be your cell phone, so there may still be a problem. But maybe you can just forward it to the nearest payphone.
A while back the FCC made a decision that has removed the availability of unbundled DSL service. This is one of many reason's why. Of course I understand the Baby Bell's position, you want me to not charge for the line? I say that they get to wholesale it, and frankly that the Baby Bell's should be like power companies, you get a contract to maintain the lines for X years, you get paid Y dollars, and have to maintain Z services. On top of that you get to call them "your" lines, except you have to wholesale (wholesale purchases get to pay taxes just like you do, but they just get a circuit.) At that point states/localaties get to choose competition.
If I remember correctly this is the way Power lines/companies are handled in Chicago, but I could be wrong.
Of course I now live where DSL can't get to, so I have to live with cable until I can convince someone to startup a Wireless broadband company on one of the many high tranmission towers in the area. That or I convince everyone in the neighborhood to by in, and I set it up.
We'll apparently Microsoft decided they could sell the product for a lot cheaper. $129 is a steal for that product. It'll be interesting to see what happens with VMWare's pricing. I'll assume that their server versions will stay at similar pricing.
Thing I really don't get is why US companies insist on developing their own standards, instead of working with other organizations, (some of which are indirectly supported by organization that the US actively supports.)
There's been a lot of research, and a lot of products available for DVB based systems, why not just do that, almost 0:00 time to delivery of services.
Well that sucks, I just bought a 5500. Oh well, I guess I'll be buying this one at some point also. Probably give the 5500 to one of my employee's as a mobile testing device.
Now if I only could get an ADSL line without a hardline that would be nice, 18 months ago I had one from Covad, but now they won't even do that oh well. Until then I'll be paying the idiot tax (I mean verizon tax).
Something kind of weird, and we used a family diamond ring, which has been used for two generations now. She found this more special, then just spending the multiple thousands of dollars to get something that yes is special, but has no history. Plus it allowed us to spend money on our wedding in ways that were more special to us.

Is it me, or is that a picture of Chicago with a enlarged Sears tower?

Since they already were working with Stanford, why would CMU matter?
Another option, contribute, figure out how to make Firefox use GPO's.

Is there a place to make donations, say a paypal account. I wouldn't mind sending a little money to help support.
The article talks about MontaVista, but they just purchased Lineo's Embeddix assets.

I seem to remember a byte magazine article maybe 7-8 years ago, right before windows 98 came out that mentioned this.
