There are lost of uses for this but the emergency reaction times will never be as good as a human
Superman is that you? Loads of machines adjust faster then me about every computer known to man can react faster than I can. As for the technology needing to be foolproof before it can be set loose on the road what about all the accidents and deaths caused by 'foolproof' drivers not paying sufficient attention or doing dumb things like speeding and insane overtaking manouvers.
The accelerometers are not intended for the user. They are for the benifit of the Simputer so it realises when it has been dropped or flung in the direction of a wall by an irate user and has time to say its prayers
Without wishing to sound too sarcastic, you are going to need a tad more than 19 articles to convince me you have a valid knowledge repository. I'll stick with the Linux Documentation Project for the moment thanks
I suppose this is about the level of maturity I really should expect around here. I should probably overlook the fact that the needless deaths and suffering of many hundreds of thousands of my country men should be a damning indictment and lesson to us all rather then a topic for cheap shots on/.
Theres not much risk to your harware. Each carriage comes with its own SVMC system (Super Villan Magneto Clone). Your toys will be safe but you might end up as a mutant.
It depends how they use this information. Will someone be sacked for being 1 min late three times in a week (fairly trite example I know), and what the next controls placed on employees are. When you see something like this you know there is more in the pipeline.
I expect my employer to get value for my salary but given that I like many others work more hours that I get paid for I will not tolerate micromanagent of my workday by my employer.
If actions were not wrong and of such value to these organisations he 'helped' by accessing confidential information without authorisation, why are they not paying for his defence?
I doubt it. Somehow I cant see the corporate drones being happy saying something that will sound like "I used to use XP but now I use ME PIS and have been much more effective since I switched to it". Seriously bad choice of name there guys.
8:00 Arrive in office

8:10 Check email
8:20 Check todays work schedule
8:30 Retrieve documentation for todays application
9:00 Begin carefully reading application, constantly referring to extensive memory of patents already extant that may cover this application
9:05 God this is boring
9:06 Begin fantasizing about a combination of Halle Berry and strawberry icecream
9:09 Mental decision: Approve patent
9:09:03 Resume Halle fantasy ...
4:55 Inform supervisisor by email patent is accepted as there is no evidence that Halle Berry has ever been used in this manner before.
4:56 Send additional mail to supervisor, correcting self by replacing Halle with object of patent
I am a fan of design patterns but many of the patterns I see described in these books are workarounds for weaknesses or performance issues in the J2EE specs. In many cases a "best practice " tag is more appropriate than a design pattern.
Its almost impossible to keep track of all the frameworks that have sprung up around Java. It seems hardly a day goes by by without someone announcing either a new framework to address issues the rest of us were not aware existed or a new release of release of one of the plethora in existence.
I find myself in a rather ironic position now. A few years ago I was a strong proponent of frameworks. I saw no reason why essentially the same code should be rehashed slightly differently when a framework could be made of the core material and the rest customised as required. Now I have to press the pause button when a framework is put forward to determine if it suits our requirements or is complete overkill for what we need or forces us into an excessively complex architecture to facilitate it.
While still in favour of frameworks I believe you can have too much of a good thing. I think many frameworks available today ignore the "frame" part of the concept and actually try and fill in all the code for you.
Why is it premature? They announced they had managed to get the 65 nanaometer process working and intend to put it into full scale production in a couple of years. Perfectly normal behaviour and the timescales seem rational. I'm sure Intel shareholders and the IT commuuity in general like to be kept up to date with what Intel is working on.
What do you expect them to do, develop the process and then srrap it ? , or maybe keep stum for a couple of years and then suddenly start rolling 65 nm chips out the door as a big surprise?
The gate length--the distance electrons travel to get from the source to the drain on a transistor and thereby flip the transistor on--drops from 50 nanometers to 35 nanometers in 65-nanometer chips.
For all those lazy or out of condition electrons out there, they only have to travel 35 nanometers now to get some work done.

I will often divert a few hundred meters to go and collect an object around me.
Those dealers for not standing still
My theory of Martian Cows works!!!
I cant see the problem here. Tough on the Casino if there is a problem with their roulette wheel

I prototyped this mail using it
As I have just hired on my girlfriend to help out
I'm thinking of hiring my gf so I can fire her and outsource her responsibilities to 10 women in India.
but what happens when the mad nano cows invade your CPU for dinner?

The book comes lightly packaged in a metaphor about the training of samurai
Does this mean I can look forward to lots of MSCE admins comitting seppuku when they get cracked?
Now I dont need all those celeb babe fitness videos to get a right arm like Arnie Schwartzenegger

A lot of frequent masturbators being sacked from McDonalds for poor timekeeping due to the scanners inability to deal with hairy palms.

Is this not basically a map of the PSTN with webservers instead of phones at the end of the line or am I missing something here.
