Instead on focusing on eliminating the spammers which seem to excell at annoying end-users and admins alike, would it not be far more practical to simply stem their source of revenue?
Understanably, some of the less scruptulous sellers may even be out of jurisdiction, but perhaps there could be a way of limiting their profits by confiscating their products at the border.

Either way, filtering and patrolling can only go so far.
The mariott (?) hotel in NYC on times square has had this tech since summer of 2004. It isnt all that bad, the only problem belies when the confused tourists start looking for their elevator.
I do however that this system is quite ingenious and efficient, if coupled with multiple elevator zones, such as those employed by the mariott (express elevator to upper 20% of building, express to lower, express to top floor/restaurant...etc).
Again the only problem with it is that there was no touchpad IN the elevator itself, only the emergency buttons and open/close door buttons. I am not quiite sure how firefighters are to us this particular model to get to the desired floor.
As for this article, i think fuji is just looking for some free press:).
There are at leat 19-20 countries with some kind of nuclear program, of which at least 6-8 have a full long-range nuclear capability. Wiki Has some interesting information on that one. Just because USSR is gone doesnt mean that all their tech has dropped off the face of the earth.
This is extremely interesting, if not tried before. I wonder what FCC/ologopolies will have to say when someone else starts using their hard lobbied/bribed frequencies.
The fact of the matter is were talking about spyware. Not adware. Which essentially means a company can be offshored, and STILL sell the "market research" data to US companies. And be a heck of a lot cheaper, too. That is what people should be aware of. Advertising by itself is only part of sales, (an integral part, but nontheless just a part).
The reason there is a speed limiter is very simple and twofold:
1. Prevent engine damage. A lot of newer engines are intereference based and shoild the timing move up just one notch you and the manufacturer are looking at a nice big fat bill.
2. Tires. You may think it is funny, but a lot of them appear to be limited to certain speeds because the STOCK tires have not been rated to higher speed/control.
Not to mention tat Japaneese have "gentleman's agreement" to keep cars under 280KM/h and germans are 250 km/h, but it is not mandatory.
There are numerous refrences in Margaret Cheney's book about how Tesla managed to "change the colors of the sky" or something to that effect with his "generators". How true that is, i dont know, but comming from a man who predicted the "bouncing" of earth, brought us AC, as well as patented, if not even invented the radio, remote control and wireless transmission of electricity should come as no surprise. And yet in his time nobody saw the potential in most of his inventions. Granted he was full of hot air on some of his predictions, however, even in those claims his fondations were generally sound. A true genious ahead of his time.
Its all fun and games, but we all know that fiber cannot be bent more thant 30-45 degrees directly (but rather gradualy) and even then it has to be encased in some sort of polymer/plastic armor to protest it. But the best part comes when you take it to your redneck mechanic and he just yanks the cabe and breaks it in half, somehow i dont think you would be paying 2000$ to fusion weld the cable? Or better scenario is if one of the laser diodes fails (happens over time, it is a diode, after all) after 10 ish years? Can anyone say forced upgrade? BTW isnt Fiber sensitive to constant vibration?
I know im going all negative, dont get me wrong, i see nothing in implimenting this, i simply believe that this should be thought out more, especially if youre forced to get new cables/comm units ONLY from Nissan (due to DMCA?).
Yeah there may be some sp errors, im in a hurry, and its the content that matters:)
Now, why do I have a VERY strange feeling that this topic will generate the highest number of M$ flames, ridicules, putdowns... since... SCO turned to the darkside (before that, since M$ came out with Win 95).
I never knew slashdot EVEN had the symbols for republicans and democrats (donkey, elephant) althought they doo look a little raw:)).
But as far as far as interviews go, i do believe that this will be one of the most unique chances to get an answer from a politician (that doesen't sound like it has been done to death by CNN, NBC, other politicians, stock q's...)in previous elections, other politicians, now etc..
I realize there have been a number of case mod stories posted on/. (although the numbers seem to have declined lately) but this one truly deserves all the kudos and credits it can get. The designer/maker of this should get an award of sorts.
I agree, you should have included a disclaimer or something to that extent.
Anyway, i like this project, it does sound like a very novel idea, but my question to you is will the new battereies overload the charging circuit (transformers, inverters, caps...), and even more so what will happen when the power does indeed go off, will it melt the wires (if they're lower gauge)or even freeze the relay? And finally:) will it mess up the onboard battery health monitor/diagnostics?
Did anyone see what "Documents" M$ sent to that oppr kid? The freakin "document" has more pages in it than the bible, and all that for one domain name? I wouldnt be surprised to find a give us your firstborn clause as well....

They actually used "WinTel" to describe themselves? Interesting how they used such a demeaning phrase to their advantage. Since we (/.'ers) coined it to mock them. Notheless the correct capitalization of "WinTel" (as found on their site). This is undoubtedly the funniest site in a while... although the pointy haired posses (dilbert reference) might actually fall for the flashy moving font and all that eyecandy.
In a case the pilot HAS to make an emergency landing/etc. and cannot avoid a no fly zone, it would not be hard for the controllers on the ground to send him either an authorization code (which he punches in a computer) or a radio signal which will tell the computer to disengage auto-override (just like nuke operarors receive the final code before the launch, they never have it on them)......
Yes that gas thay produces that nice white glow from new cars is alredy being used as means of reliable probpulsion. The Euro consortium is using it in their new comm sattelite (forgot the name, was featured on/. a month or so ago). basically XEON can easily be stored, produces a considerable thrust, and most of all it will be light enought to transport, while being capable of producing enough sustained thrust to get the astronauts to and from mars. I wonder why NASA isnt looking more into it.
GM also came up with the "skateboard" design, the only difference that i see is this one has more wheels, more gdgets, and better control; which may be good for suspension and stability, but it makes me wonder as to the economy of producing a full scale unit, due to cost, complexity, maintenance and later on replacement (as if replacing 4 tires wasnt expensive enough). Not to say that this vehicle doesent have a bright future, heck, im guessing this will make one helluva city car. They did borrow one good thing from GM though, for if this car gets mass produced the owners or factory, will be able to change "skins" (IE top part of the car) intermittently.
So last time i checked the bioses are flashable? what is to stop me from developing my own, XboX like flash/mod for motherboard? If it has benn done for xbox which has considerably smaller userbase, what is to stop people for dong it for mobos? Are the price and inconvenience are the only 2 obstacles?
Why wouldn't the spokesman know what was going on?" asked one CIA analyst. "It's his job. But it's little clues like this that give us a suprisingly good idea of what's going on in Utah
Hell even CIA seems to think this is insane. Althought where they tie into this while mess confounds even me.

Is it even possible to sue a minor for something like this?
