The world moved over to web browsers to do many things; webmail readers, watching videos, discussion forums, online banking, online shopping. But they only had that high market share because they tried to bundle IE with Windows and block out everyone else.
Remember the Netscape vs. Internet Explorer lawsuit 20 years ago? Microsoft genuinely believed the isolated desktop was going to go away and that the web-browser would become the default desktop across a network.
The funny thing with all these applications, is that once the screen dimensions were increased by between 25% and 50% (from 1440x1050 to 2048x1536), all the applications vendors decided to resize their default application screen sizes as well. So you still have to do some resizing to get two or more applications to fit on the same screen.
I know what you mean. In the 1970's/1980's, programs like Tomorrow's World showed us the shiny new world of laser discs, multimedia computing, mobile telephones, intelligent homes, microwave cookers and now 30 years on, we've gone beyond that - widescreen HD 3D TV's with internet, wireless networking, touchscreen mobile phones with GPS and internet connectivity, 3D stereoscopic cameras, multi-screen desktop computers with surround sound. Devices like camcorders are relegated to antique shops, console games that respond to motion.
The only thing left is really the holographic home cinema.
We can acquire temperature data in a variety of ways:
Ice core samples and glacier movements - those go back thousands of years.
Tree ring records - those go back thousands of years. Some trees are over 500 years old. The size of the rings demonstrate what the climate has been like for that tree.
Human observations - Places like monasteries, universities, bards and poets and historians maintained diaries and chronicles - those go back thousands of years. Famous Romans documented volcanic eruptions and the resulting effect on the local climate. The English chronicles document all sorts of things like rivers icing over. However, you have to do some additional research to see what changes humans have made to these rivers. In many cases, they were widened, narrowed, deepened, dredged, straightened, banks raised, all so that the water would travel fast enough so that ice wouldn't form.
But the other problem is that human pollution actually caused the climate to cool down. Soot and smoke emissions from the 1970's actually caused more snowfall that when the air became cleaner, as the individual particles act as condensation nucleii - there's a simple way to demonstrate this. Take a empty container, fill it with fresh snow, and then let the snow melt. At the bottom of the container will be all the dust and soot that was collected by those snowflakes.
Not just the land, the rivers and single use aquifers are being drained for water . There are constant arguments between cities and farmers. The cities want the water for ornamental fountains, parks, golf courses, and suburban lawns. The farmers want water to irrigate fields. Then the cities point out that the farmers could use more efficient ways of watering crops, and the farmers point out that the cities don't need so many golf courses and lawns.
It's that data that was used to generate those models that is the problem. They set up a huge array of weather stations across the world back in the 1950's. Some in urban areas, others in remote locations like mountain tops. But after 50 years, they decided not to continue using those remote weather stations because... nothing was happening, and it was too costly to maintain them. But after 50 years of urbanisation, all those weather stations located on office block roofs and in airports showed temperature rises. It's well known that there is a heat island effect that when cities get larger, the surrounding air gets warmer. There is also a matching rain-shadow effect, where the downwind air is more likely to bring rain.
But the assumption was that if the cities are heating up, then so must the entire planet.
That happened with tax deductions for business cars as well. Company directors complained that the purchase of a company car was eating into pre-tax profits, so they got the government to make the loan tax-deductible. The response of car manufacturers? To raise the price-range of their company cars.
You forget that mobile gaming allows chat modes. You don't even need to send a SMS message or a phone call. So service provider logs, or even port sessions log won't help. You'd have to get cooperation from the application vendor assuming they actually maintained logs.
It happened when the phone networks switched from data-over-voice channels (modems screeching over telephone lines) to voice-over-data channels (digital telephone networks). Once wireless telephone networks became digital, it was easier taking a TCP/IP stack and porting it over to the wireless modem that it was to write something completely new. But TCP/IP required an IP address, which in turn invoked the tradition of every IP address having a registered system administrator and owner.
You would only need the TCP/IP protocol stack to be configured to support source routing. From a typical "tiger" output report
--FAIL-- [lin016f] The system permits source routing from incoming packets
Source routing might permit an attacker to send packets through your host (if routing is enabled) to other hosts without following your network topology setup. It should be enabled only under very special circumstances or otherwise an attacker could try to bypass the traffic filtering that is done on the network:
They were talking about this idea 18 years ago, in the mid 1990's. The idea was that all food packaging would have RFID tags with use-by-dates. The fridge could then send you emails telling you that various items were going to go off soon, or that you were going to run out of something. Then you could drive home from work and go to the nearest supermarket, or send the list would be sent automatically to a delivery company like Peapod, who would then do a delivery. It seemed a perfectly good idea for those with Hollywood sized kitchens with a freezer the size of a double bay garage, but for the rest of world who have little R2D2 sized fridges as part of energy efficiency programs, it really wasn't much use.
Though, it took me by surprise when my neighbors TV set (Philips 8000 series) appeared in awifi scan. Apparently, these sets can do wifi mirroring (Miracast) where the screen output is sent to other media devices, and vice versa.
Because American streets are about six lanes wide, have rows of trees down the middle, have carparks outside the strip malls, which are a further 100 meters wide and have more trees. So it can be a good 200 meters between the tyre shop and the nearest restaurant. Looking around isn't possible, you need maps.
In most Scottish cities, the streets are only two road lanes wide, and the restaurants and other shops have their phone number and address on the front window. Sometimes it was quicker just going to Streetview and wandering down the street that it was messing about with search engine results.
I know British Telecom had customer training systems with touch screens back in the 1980's. You could tell when a class had been in, since all the screen were covered in fingerprints. The only thing that looked worse, were the workstations with the tinted anti-glare screens. Then you would see fingerprints everywhere all due to the staff pointing out mistakes in code.
You can. You just need the right filters - Hoya H72 comes to mind. You can easily buy a set from the professional camera store of your choice, then you can do your own infra-red photography. It's better buying a set because some filters totally obscure all the infra-red light. The other material of choice is a black plastic refuse bag. That blocks visible light, but the chances are, it is transparent to infra-red light.
But if you want to do something now, just activate your smartphone camera, find a remote control and check to see if it can detect the flashing infra-red LED when a button is pressed.
Wouldn't tall buildings have the same effect. Especially those built close to the coast? This would have the effect of preventing cool moist air from moving inland during the day and preventing cold land air moving out to sea at night.
There has to be physical evidence. Having a video someone snort white powder up their snozzle, isn't going to be enough. You'd need a sample of that white powder to put in an evidence bag Then you have to prove that the evidence bag hasn't been tampered with. The only way to achieve that chain of events is to stake out a place with concealed cameras, have officers ready to make arrests and forensic technicians to gather all the evidence. Even then, all that work can be undone when the crime lab goofs up the testing or the files "go missing".
As one detective said: "Every dumb criminal is a failure of the education system"
There was something like 75% illiteracy in the prisons. These guys couldn't read or write, never mind actually figure out that CCTV cameras could record past events and replay them in the future. When the police used predictive analysis to determine future crime scenes, and staked out the joint, the caught criminals would claim they had been "set up".
Is it HD Video, and can be used with 3D TV's, and/or 3D shutter glasses, then yes. If you have sample timelapse videos of flowers blooming, rollercoaster rides, first-person views of skydiving, sub-sea diving, acrobats, jugglers, aircraft carrier landings, then that is perfect.
They don't even like the existing battery storage systems, because the energy companies are supposed to buy "surplus energy" back from home-owners. Their whole business model is based on being able to charge extra at peak times. If users are able to buy and store energy at night-rate times, they avoid the extra cost of day-time usage.
