than a regular encyclopedia? If there were an error in a traditional encyclopedia, I would bet it would take more than a few days for them to discover it, and they have people paid full time to do so.
I am 16 and have my own computer in my own room. A year or two ago, when I didn't have that luxury, and used my dad's computer, I accidently came across true porn for the first time. Like any adolescent would be, I was intrigued, and didn't immediately close it. I looked around for a while, till I quit for fear of being discovered. I found out later when my dad confronted me about it that he had logging software installed (I had deleted the history and all cookies from those sites). He told me why i shouldn't look at porn, and how destructive it really it to my image of women and to my mind and all that.
Now that I have full access and control over my own computer, they trust me to control myself, and I do for the most part. I very rarely look at things I ought not to be looking at. So that would be my advice - keep an eye on them for a while, and teach them why it is wrong, but trust them untill you have good reason not to, WITH OUT trampling their privacy.
I have read about this technology somewhere else before. If I remember correctly, this technology would for the most part drive the equipment by itself, but that tractor/combine/whatever would still have a person in it to take over or do anything that had to be done manually.
Of course it is possible, they are already doing it. If you remember this story, or this one, the up-and-coming SACD (super audio CD) format will include a digital watermark to prevent people from playing it on non-SACD players. the watermark is supposedly un-copiable. Here is the SACD site.
My friend who has an ultra high speed connection at the university lags for about 10 seconds any given game, I do for about 2.
... or, maybe your friend is just playing people who have weak connections. i have a hard time believing that if he is on an ultra high speed network, and is playing anybody with a decent broadband, that he is going to have 10 seconds lag. i mean, really, is he trying to play auto-cad with somebody?
First of all, i wouldn't exactly call preventing people from hacking products, and breaking the agreement they made when they purchased those products a case of "bad judgement".
Second, if you want the world to be more driven by intelligence, the you should enojy the challenge this will present to all the hackers out there when it is harder to crack.
Third of all, you have obviously never lived in a cardboard box, or anywhere close to it. When your kids are hungry, and the electric is about to get shut off, you don't really give a damn about whether or not people will be able to run linux on their xbox. there are more imortant things in life than that.
i'm guessing that they will be - if they are as serious as the story makes it seem about how soon the roll-up TVs are coming out, and about how well they are predicted to do, they will have to have pretty decent resolution for anybody to buy one, especially after the dawn of HDTV.
What?! you mean that some people hit the "I Agree" button without reading, or inteding to obey section 2.6 of the license agreement, saying that you will not "Transmit or access any data that infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights of any party;" huh. weird.
it was obviously a good choice on the part of 2600 to not continue to the supreme court. not only could it have cost them a great deal of money, possibly even enough to have forced them into bacnkruptcy; but if it had been heard, and the supreme court ruled against 2600, that would dramaticly decrease the chances of getting another, stonger case heard later.
or maybe it is sombody from the XBox team. wouldnt this be a great way to get all the people who have the know-how to work for MS to give MS the information on how to make the XBox2 even harder to hack? and its not like they dont have the money...
People rarely think about this kind of thing before purchasing a car. Maybe they should.
Think about what? What are they supposed to do - buy a car without and onboard computer? or maybe buy a car from all those car companies who willingly make their codes available for anybody? or they could just not get those parts of their car fixed. this is pretty much out of the consumers hands, other than writing their congressperson to get the bill passed.
Then why dont they just not have the software installed on their phone? or go with a provider that doesnt use P2P phone service? besides - i am sure that they wouldnt mind using other people's batteries when they have their own emergency. its not that hard to occasionaly plug your phone into your car outlet on the way to work or whenever.

More misinformation! The plot thickens...
could there really be that many people out there desiring... enlargement?

with cell phones? You pay for the service, get a 2 year contract, and get your phone for hundreds of dollars less than you would pay for it alone.

may have to go with Google's cached version of the page.
maybe it would be better not to have some self-control, and not have any addictions.
Here are some other issues with personal, or almost personal flight.

but i think it would be worth it to be able to access the rest of the internet.

One said to the other, "Hey, Bill, I haven't seen our friend Joe for a while. I wonder what he is up to."
Just then, Joe ran up to his two atom friends, and declared, "Oh no! Hey - you have to help me!! I've lost an electron!!"
"Are you sure?" Bill asked.
"Yes," Joe answered, "I'm positive!"
here it is, for all of you too lazy to copy and paste.

yeah - that would ruin their sparkling reputation for being the most caring government on the planet.

if only she had said "klaatu barata nikto".
hmm... is this "the phonics game" for the technically challenged?
but it doesnt help much if you are like me and cant even hit the ball straight.
