I have the most advanced fingerprint verification system to date. Of course you sacrifice speed for acuracy.. and you have to pay a "subscription" of $15/hour or more.. You take an old guy with a magnefying glass, a scrubbrush, soap , a flipboard (with face/thumb/Barcode),a and barcode reader and you tell him he won't get paid if he doesn't look and verify and log EVERY person that comes through (verified against a card swipe lock)... and he sits in a chair behind floor-to-ceiling bulletproof glass... Subjects put their hand through a hole in the window, where he can scrub the thumb prior to checking. Drawbacks? Plenty! Sure, plenty... but I guaruntee none of the exploits in the article would work.
I claim an extension to this idea as prior art in some future lawsuit. The ability to transfer/network data between devices on multiple people... so I can shake your hand and get your contact information. I donate this idea for use by hackers/small guys for free, any corporation must pay $1 per implementation.
I always wondered why Aristotilian logic never added an additional fallacy, that every arguement should be tempered according to its funding. Sure, you can make arguements and have lots of free cash, but is it someone elses - and are you just espousing their opinion? "Follow the dollars" is one of my favorite games.
Every old-school engineering firm worth its salt had beer in the fridge. About the beer disappeared, the firm had generally lost their edge. 'Course this is *real* engineering and not software, not sure if the same rule applies.
I have to say this definitely would cause an increase in bank robberies.. why bother going in and saying this is a stickup if you can "hose down" everyone there before they even realize you're inside... might also serve to destroy cameras... lastly, you could prbably adapt it to a "mine" that nails everything in a certain radius.
Are there any third party sites that rank the EULA of other sites? I'd love to see a system with clear "icons" of explanation similar to how creative commons dies theirs (except for ranking EULA/privacy instead of content usage).. I'd love to see NWAir with a little icon of the FBI for "bends over for the feds"... maybe a few other similar ideas. (icon for "0wn3d" if they are known to have been hacked in the past 6 months or so, etc). I can think of a whole slew of little icons. Then you can create a little toolbar/addin to IE/Moz that shows you the "status" of the site you are visiting.
sounds like a movie plot, where a lawyer bankrolling the whole thing had been sleeping with his sister-in-law, murdered them both - and then goes on a public campaign to sidetrack everyone from including him as a suspect. Just the cynic in me.
COllege is COMPLETELY different from high school. I knew plenty of "drop out" types that couldn't get by in high school that excelled in college, and visa versa.. It is a completely different approach to learning. 'Course it depends on the school, but I'd say wait until you're *at least* a sophomore before you think about not going to college. - get a good taste before you decide you want out.
Is that the little squeaky thing.. I've noticed the "plurality" when there are lots of birds outside the window... and the only occasional chirp if there's one. We also have a deep singular "MROW" she'll do, but usually we say "What the hell was that for"? She only does it when she's in the cat-VR-trippy-world playing with stuff you can't see.
geez. did half of you not actually read my post? Let me spell it out: The Information you seek *IS* the payoff. If you go to mars to look for water, then you spell that out as the payoff: "We find conclusive proof of the existance or non existance of water". It has NOTHING to do with actual money, but it is a clear and concise payoff. Then in the "extras" you say, "and we think we might be able to get the rover to preform AFTER the job is done to go do some sightseeing", that falls under the "gravy" category.
It had NOTHING to do with corporations or VCs actually being involved. but changing the way you run the projects, so they become like little companies.
Why not run it like Venture capital? Where each project is like a "business" that has to develop and sell a plan, with intended payoffs (exactly what kind of information they will be looking for), potential bonus performance beyond the life expectancy, etc.
They probably said "How many people were replaced?" without seeing "How many hires did you have?" "How many were offshore?".. that would give you a better idea of the numbers.
If there will come a day when, to get a job, you'll have to create and patent some sort of platform.. so that you are the only person who can leggaly create software using that platform
Thats great that the rovers have lasted as long as they have. Imagine the resume lines on that one "Designed solar panel array system that powered Mars rovers 500% of their life expectancy". Heck think of all those parts inside that have stood up to tempeture cycling. They really did a good job.
The Metaverse will not happen due to people creating monolithic apps or projects, but will happen by the integration of small protocols such as this... from VPP its easy to add a "model" of the presence, and thus create space.
Despite my tacky tone, I have always thought that his statue was one of the most reflective/thoughtful pieces of art I've ever seen. It's well done, if you don't know the story - but it is astounding the amount of reflection and thought that must be going through the man's mind as he stares at the apple.

I think Cthulhu references are more appropriate.

Damn, just saw the post a few spaces up that detailed this very idea.

On google you can type "convert 100 kilometers to miles" and google does the conversion *for you* (and then shows you search results)

Unfortunately, it's the *pursuit* that is guaranteed, not being happy.
Just set up a proxy server that routes all traffic to the BBS website.

This only serves to prove the theory that language is an alien meme virus... its trying to infect any living thing it can!
