"Honestly, the only time I open the bonnet on my car is when I want to fill up washer fluid," said Tatiana Butovitsch Temm. "Do we need to have a one metre square hatch for that or could we do it in another way? "So we shifted the filling station for washer fluid to the side of the car, next to where you fill up fuel, and we closed the bonnet for good."
once we are all required to have a fritz chip and MSFT palladium software (and yes this bill is out there and being pushed thanks to the right good gentleman from NC) this will all be irrelevant. it will happen automatically. all your files will be compared to a central DB to determine if you own them. by Gen 2, your own microprocessor will do this. no new software will run unless it does. if you don't own the rights, it will be deleted by your own system. any software, anywhere can be instantly revoked in this manner if your PC is on a network. give this some thought. now imagine a new breed of virus. picture the whole US getting a format c:. then go vote.
1. gps works really badly in cities. 2. with gps, you know where you are, but the system does not. it's just a bunch of sats your handset uses for reference. privacy concerns are only relevant if you use the cell network. or enable the system. even then, you're just a spot. i don't think we're gonna see non-voluntary cellular cookies. 3. there's no transmit channel. they can't send you anything over gps, it has to be cellular. 4. if you gotta look at ads, it might as well be for ones that are relevant. where can i get a hotel around here?
just a sidenote, but wasn't the mission yuppie eradication project a hoax put out by the sfbg to expose the ignorance and consistent failure to check facts of other local media? btw: agree about the polarization of this town and the threat to it's heritage. every time some little one off business closes down, we get another baby gap or a freakin jamba juice.
I have not really begun to play with these as i have always assumed they were of pretty limited quality (like a sony mini-disk) and would reveal serious source limitations on a higher end system (aaragon, cal-audio, vanderstien sorta stuff). anybody tried this? what do they really sound like? also note: pretty easy to buy recordable cd players right now. (2 decks, cd to cd) they work great although blank disks are still much more expensive than they oughtta be. but that will change. the crossover with pc's will make this trend much harder to kill than dat.
