it seems to be (from my anecdotal evidence) that natives of california are the only ones who seem to feel that there is no civilized life outside of california.
The same seems to go for NYC denizens. "OMG! How could you NOT want to live here?!!'
We had an engraving pen there, and all CPUs and monitors were *required* to have your driver's license number engraved on them to be brought in
Everything already has a unique ID, the serial number. Why not use that? Record all the persons equipment numbers, and they have to have that paper on the way out.
But people willing to put tens of thousands of dollars and six months of their spare time into actually BUILDING an electric vehicle proves there's an actual demand out there, not just politically-correct lip service.
Not necessarily. People spend lots of time and money building jet powered bicycles also. I doubt there's much demand for those. Elec cars, yes. But tinkerers do not always reflect public demand.
The average population density of Japan is 339 people/km^2. The population density of New Jeresy is 453people/km2. Now tell me again why I can't get anything faster than 50/50Mbit which is STILL slower than the AVERAGE speed in Japan?
If all you had to wire was NJ, then you might have a point. But NJ does not sit in isolation.
Wasn't that what the idea behind the whole resilence of the net and rerouting past clogged or destroyed nodes was, back when ARPA had its fingers on it?
And that is exactly what it is doing now. Routing around "damage". Georgia, for whatever reason(DDOS, actual destruction, hacking), is "damaged". The rest of the internet is just fine.
If we can get web servers to support TLS (for multi-domain encryption on a single IP vs. SSL), and create a non-identity framework for encryption, we should just start encrypting everything end to end. ISPs are asking for it with these behaviors.
You just lost 99.9% of the intarweb using population.
Back to the topic at hand, I firmly believe these industries need to be nationalized.
'These industries'? Who do you mean? You mean Verizon, TimeWarner, Cox, Charter? Basically, the ones who lay lines through your yard.
what about the second/third tier? Skype, Vonage, Cavalier? Do we also include other comm companies/technologies, such as Trillian, Pigeon, AOL IM, etc?
when you start paying an annual registration and license fee for the use of your bicycle, you can then demand municipal bike racks.
From the 'More You Know' dept: Most people who would use such a bike rack are adults. And as such pay all sorts of taxes. And probably also have a car. Which they pay taxes on. Oh, and the sales tax on the actual bike.
Such taxes generally go into the 'general fund'. Which pays for (among all the other stuff) things like parking spaces. Sidewalks. Parking lots. Road maintenance and construction. Stuff like that.
So while cyclists do not pay do not pay an annual reg and license fee for the bike, they do pay into the system.
And if such a registration system for bikes were brought into play, what do you think would be a 'fair' fee? Many states scale their car reg fees on weight or horsepower. A fair, comparative fee for a bike would come in at about $0.10/yr. You DO want to be fair, right?
Matlab isn't built within the spectroscope. We can do it, but then we lose the warranty.
Then whoever paid for that system got taken. Excel is not the only thing that can open a csv. And if that IS the absolute only thing available, 65k row limit can be split across multiple worksheets. But Excel is _not_ a database. No matter what the clueless users/doctors say.
Troubleshooting wouldn't be a whole lot different.
And hopefully, he'll give up after a few seconds, instead of continuing to drive and surf and be distracted.
In any case, s/he will be blocked. There is nothing in general web browsing/email that supersedes operating a car. Nothing. (personally, I'd include cellphone conversations and texting in that)
What would really be the key to it, is only allowing it while the vehicle is parked.
That is the way it is currently with regular video (TV/DVD) screens. Viewable from the drivers seat only while the trans is not in gear. A factory installation does this. This 'law' does nothing to combat the aftermarket installers who will install whatever you pay for.
Mine aren't. I'm buying/building a jammer, illegal or not. I'd rather not have J. Random Asshat trying to read his email or check his eBay auction at 60mph next to me. Cellphones are already too bad. I'll turn his stuff off.
and J. Random will do that. I saw a girl the other day...weaving a little bit...on her Sidekick thing, texting with both thumbs, steering with her knees. The road ahead was prob 1/4 of her concentration.
Hang up and drive, you stupid coont.
It wasn't any kind of grandiose 'spy' thing, but rather a specialist in some arcane bit of Cold War knowledge and investigation. As far as the 'WWII pilot dad advice', it was just that...advice from dad, who happened to be a pilot in WWII.
And as far as 'not telling anyone'...there IS a lot of that. You may not know, because those who DO know can't/won't tell you. Has all the intel from the Cold War (from either/all sides) come out into the open? No.
"So far, according to the report, supporters of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) are using online tools for election matters more often that those of rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz."
In other words: So far, younger people (generally, supporters of Sen Obama) are using online tools more often than older people (generally, supporters of Sen McCain).
Along about the time my brother was getting his MS degree, he was recruited by the CIA for 'junior specialist in 'xxxxxx'
Our dad (wwii pilot) talked him out of it, saying "well...you can be the absolute best in that field, but you'll never be able to tell anyone about it."

That's just a comparison of the desirability of living in those places.
Not everyone who doesn't currently live in California desires to live in California.
Not even most.
What happened to locating these boxes on the telephone poles themselves?
Some neighborhoods...my old one, for instance, have no telephone poles. Everything is underground.
Oh please. We don't know the context of this guys application, or what his non-profit does and who it applies to. Maybe he has a very valid reason.
Keep honest people honest, and only allow a small subset of sites.

For various values of "successful".

Huh? Why not get out there, meet people from those countries, eat the food they eat, get drunk with them, and actually experience the world?
Of course! Because every familiy has the time and resources to visit every possible interesting place on the planet.

and they'll say "Why shouldn't my neighbors get on my network?"
I trust my neighbors (mostly).
I trust their kids somewhat less.
I trust their kids' friends not at all.

If the only thing the computer needs to do is show an arrow, I'm really not sure why Windows is necessary,
Why is a computer necessary? A plastic sign would do just as well.
