The only thing wrong with your long complaint about a lack of quality is that your typing accuracy is poor. Does somewhat undermine your complaint! I guess that all those photo labs are taking about as much care as you do...
Now we see why they downscaled the images - they're all a bit
blurry. Couldn't they find anyone with a steady hand?
I guess a project of this size leaves all the geeks too excited!
Information is power... and the terrorists are of course trying to overpower existing governments that they don't like. It's a natural connection that they're going to try to use information along with any other tools available.
Simple answer: elect Dubyah! No more information gets out. Just meaningless gibberish and insultingly stupid generalisations.
Option 4: lock your bag with both the TSA lock and an ordinary
lock. Then you can detect all forms of intrusion (assuming that
your bag is suitably well-built).
I guess there's a market for this kind of thing in Japan. The mean age in Japan is approaching 70 and many of these older persons are living alone, so there are a lot of seniors that will require assistance with their daily life. A robot that can fetch medicine or notify the owner that it is time to take medicine or even notify the authorities if the owner doesn't move for more than a specified time.
Except the robot is useless for that. No hands for medicine and the camera
will not be sufficiently well-placed for monitoring. There will only be a single (low-res) viewpoint of the world from low to the ground. There will be too many false alarms from sleeping, watching TV or just out of the house!
More than just "wow, this is cool! Imagine a beowulf cluster of these", this robot is a significant step forward for the assisted-living technological front.
Nope. The Japanese fixation with humanoid robots is not going to help caring for the elderly any time soon. We have no good way of dealing with flexible materials, no good vision-based object recognition for reasonable sets of objects and no way of doing truly dextrous manipulation (two arms at once!).
When someone produces a cheap robot with reasonable sensors and an open source development environment, we many be getting somewhere. Then, instead of reading Slashdot, you could be programming your own robot.

It's like blanketty but a bit thicker and possibly warmer.

Now that's plain racist.
Try "if people were not protected from themselves, they would turn into the USA" on for size.
Next try some tolerance...

DOH!
How is the minutae of a single country's election process "News for Nerds"? Even if said country would like to think that it rules the world...
But you forgot to mention the "steal all other companies' good ideas while you're at it" strategy.
Somehow, the word "Microsoft" springs to mind!
(Even if he is a subscriber, that's an impressive typing speed with very few errors.)
6gigs *each*. Sounds ok to me.
...some real news for nerds!
Thicker surely? Come to think of it, all aspects of this case are definitely thicker than the average blanket. Quilty is highly appropriate!
I remember a time when editors knew fancy shit like spelling and grammar.
Man, I feel old around here now.
More than 10 years old...
Would you like some freedom fries with that? How about some humble pie for dessert?
We still can't handle flexible materials well. Particularly materials like cloth which have highly complex properties.
Simple answer: elect Dubyah! No more information gets out. Just meaningless gibberish and insultingly stupid generalisations.
Problems are keeping the stack ordered and finding a punched card reader these days...
I respectfully suggest that voting would be a good start.

I'm in Australia too! :-)
If it makes sense to you, I've got a piece of the moon for sale!

The sun is big. I can't believe that the solar wind would push you away before you were crisped.
I'd die pretty quickly without my Tivo!
Then we'd be talking a Beowulf of in Soviet Russia all your base belong to us.
Or something particularly grisly...
