You are not making a mistake if you are using simply an odometer. But this is a road tax on federal highways. Which will be a much smaller percentage of the roads you actually drive on for most people.
The question is what would you need to charge to make up for that. This whole problem is the federal/state split of gasoline taxes and how the federal government spends that on those roads.
I really suspect that all of this can be added quite easily to the cars computer. The GPS chip, and a Phone chip for dialing in. And it all happens automagically. You can add it as a line item charge to the bill when you get your tabs.
I think a more real problem is are we still going to have GPS in 2040.
It is very likely that we are going to see massively restricted government by 2040. This may make the whole system hard to maintain, unless we get some big time help.
Our original alien creators gave us fingerprints for identification purposes. Just because we had lost that information before we regained it, doesn't change anything. It is for ID purposes...
Had been posited for about 2-3 years now. It is actually amazing that this was such a brutal attack.
The dangers of these attacks had always been stealth related, because it is nearly impossible for the machine to SEE the vm manager. Which makes these things even more dangerous than rootkits.
There is no group of people of any significant size that would pay to use Amazon services only if they were open source.
Indeed they could lose customers to other providers that provide the same software at up to zero cost. This also represents a security issue for Amazon Customers.
The advantage would be to gain free programmers for their services. This is not very useful, as in this case they are leveraging their massive investment in internet services for running their company. The more it is useful for others, the more it is useful for them.
I suspect that this is a hopeful rumor of those that feel threatened by the Amazon solutions, and that there is no likely case that they will open source their tools.
At the end of the day, the difference between Aldus and Adobe products and everything else on Windows, and Even Macs back then, was the handling of graphics. Windows and Macs needed to be fast enough to work on screen, and printing had to be good "enough".
For Aldus and Adobe, Printing had to be perfect and predictable even for non-composited printers. Everything about WMF, DIB, GDI, and BMP, and the engines that manipulated them (all other companies programs), failed for largely the same core reasons that they fail here. This was also true for Mac lightweight graphics, but they were less practically important.
There was a speed, technology, and practicality hill that had to be eventually overcome. That happened through Next, and ultimately got there slightly before OSX. Use your own imaging system, based on PDF (Postscript derivative). Have, input drivers for system graphics. But everything becomes and is PDF. Quartz is based on it, Quartz is in Java, it is in Flash, it is in Photoshop, Illustrator, PDF, After effects, OSX, InDesign, Printers, and if worse comes to worse, it can output a DIB on the fly, which can be printed and displayed by ANY non-ps device. In a predictable and fast manner.
I feel for wine, because DIB never fundamentally works, and fundamentally always has flaws. But that is what Windows 16 is based on.
It is a problem for windows, because it means the imaging system continues and always is fundamentally difficult to deal with. (Colors are fundamentally RGB rather than Independent of colorant, or specific to a given colorant, like say metallic ink).
But this is what remains good for Adobe. This is not an easy problem to scope and solve. It is not being provided for free to developers (except on OSX, a bit). And means that if you want to design for print, or film, and essentially any predictable media, it is easier to use Adobe products. And they get paid handsomely for that.
As to the advertiser question. The problem becomes one of WHEN I am going to watch the add. If I am watching it I am not watching ANOTHER ad at the same time. I may very well skip the ad, and never pay attention. I may watch the recording a thousand times and never go back to the channel. I may ONLY watch the DVR and skip it every time.
The problem is, that an advertiser pays for an event. And the event it paid for, is not what you are doing when it is dvr'd. It is definitely not the same when it is "on-demand".
This of course doesn't apply to Planters Peanuts during the World Series of Poker.
When I save something on my DVR, that is for personal use. It is by me for me.
When I get something from the cable company, that is distribution. If that is not distributed in the manner as the owner of the copyright desires, that is a copyright violation on face. Copyright is ABOUT distribution.
There are grey areas, like hold and release, 5 second delay, in-between servers, but this use of a private fair-use technology as a distribution technology, is definitely worth suing over.
It changes the value that the audience aggregator is charging the advertiser. The audience aggregator is unable to charge for another ad, and is unable to control the distribution method. When Adult Swim is on, they want you to watch Adult Swim. GO SHAKE!
It's the cost of acquisition of information. With things like onstar, this cost can drop to zero, and can be utilized for simple information gathering, fishing expeditions, and post facto inquisition.
This will be utilized for intimidation, politics, blackmail, and even criminal prosecution just to keep the populous satisfied. But information is power, and information can be twisted, presented in strange ways, and even lied about and manufactured.
If they need to do anything, it would be a manufacturing fab. Or it would be a chip designer or manufacturer, or screen company. But none of these things are really necessary to lower the parts cost, increase revenue, or increase profit.
But they really don't need to buy a games company. They make plenty from the apps store, and the games company is making plenty from the game. They are both happy.
First is to change nothing. Why fix what isn't broke?
The second is to change your time frame entirely. 10-15 years is too long and too disruptive when the time comes, and you lose out on presumptive benefits in the middle.
Surely there are network aware applications that do what you want on standard systems today.
You want to be network aware. In todays world you do not want to be cut off from your customers, and more importantly you want to push of data integrity to others.
You should develop an annual budget for IT expenses that rolls over. You should be on a 3-5 year schedule rather than a 10-15 year schedule. If you do this, you will have more predictable costs. You won't have competitive disadvantage because of software. You will have advantages of providing more and more reliable services to your customers.
As in all businesses information and digital information can be used to extend and monetize your business in all sorts of ways. But only if you choose to keep on top of it, and you don't constrain your learning cycles to whatever is new now.
They do this off the Grand Coulee Dam. But they are hardly ever used, as they are only really needed when there is need for flood control, AND lack of Power Need.
There already exist these giant "batteries" and couldn't the power be utilized for things like this, rather than something new?
There seem to be a ton of places where one could use excess energy at night, that you wouldn't need a new "Battery" source.
Verizon provided a service to IT'S customers where they can read webmail of another provider on their web page. Fairpoint is saying that after x date that if you still want that kind of service you have to go through THEIR web page. You can still go to Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, and Hotmail, and read your mail from those pages directly.
This is NOT a net neutrality issue. It is an added feature provided by the provider.
I for instance have NEVER used any of my ISP features, as I have separate email provider. Nothing Changes.
One of the advantages of tax money, is that it can be used to develop technologies that will then get used by *many* others. It can jump start timelines that don't necessarily make sense to others. It can provide competition to private enterprise which has positive results in quality and price. This can be very important when a widespread commodity goes from plenty to scarce in a very short period of time.
Government in and of itself is not a solution, but neither is the free-market.
Classically the free market profits at the expense of the environment which is not included as a cost in the product even though the rest of us pay for it. From Lightbulbs to mining. From cars to garbage collection. The cheapest and most expeditious often have costs that are not borne by the manufacturer or the consumer directly. Some of those costs are mammoth and the free market is not the solution.
Libraries are actually socialized book sales. Most books either sell much fewer copies without library sales, or they sell so many copies that it doesn't matter. WIthout libraries, we have fewer books, because way too many books would not sell enough copies to be printed.
Um... Pennies. It is a negligible cost of the product.
This is mainly a giant win for Amazon, who doesn't have to spend for additional materials for packaging or shipping of single pick orders. As a matter of fact they are probably willing to give the manufacturer some sort of benefit from this. Slightly higher costs for instance.
Who said anything about illegal P2P. The fact is, that there is a difference between home use, and what is essentially business class UPLOADING. That is the problem with P2P. We are not all supposed to have unlimited Uploading.
Does anyone have any idea how much information PROVIDERS are charged for bandwidth? And why P2P is essentially massive theft of service?
Even IPTV or VOIP doesn't hit the network as hard. P2P just breaks the entire model, for everyone.
are the 24 hour P2P users that are at risk of getting cut off. So it is all good.
The 9 out of 10 have never heard of P2P and aren't at any risk of getting cut off. Can down load all their OSx updates, window's fixes and updates of Firefox. Never a problem. Can download songs from ITunes, apps from the App Store. No Problem.
These limits are only really a problem when you decide that you are going to torrent Linux Distributions 24/7....
And those people are the ones that read their broadband limits.
Slashdot Mirror
It has to be this way. Lets say I have a hackintosh, and a mac, and a copy of Mac OSX that I bought from the store. When does it become illegal.
If I sell it to someone that doesn't have a copy? Certainly resell is legal?
If I put it into a hackintosh. Certainly, a cd that is legal in one place, doesn't become illegal just because I put it somewhere.
If I boot off of it?!
Well this is close, but what is illegal????
This is the crux of the "old idea"
It is old, 73 years, and may take a few days to identify and repair especially after first attempt failed.
Who says anything is wrong?
This all seems perfectly normal.
(I like the fact that many people here would rather their be multi-billion dollar solutions, rather than this is simply how it is).
People use other bridges and the bart.
To say there isn't redundancy, is simply silly.

This ALONE will change everything. From an All day Iphone and netbook. To a Chevy Volt that costs 1/2 as much.
WHERE IS IT?
Wake up and smell the end of the decade.
And more low power ones. This will be a self correcting issue.
It is probably true that there is too much energy and wasted space at the EXISTING data centers as it is.
