Then I imagine the speeding fines imposed for trying to cover 2200 odd miles in a day will probably negate the prize fund for the winners and put everyone into serious debt for at least a year. Maybe this is why its a biannual event
Just as a word of warning for inexperienced geo cachers there are a few things you should not put in your cache or the results might not be quite what you intended (unless you like being visited by lots of military grade explosive)
Weapons of mass destruction
Plans for gas centrifuge machines
Middle aged paunchy men answering to the name Saddam
Middle aged bearded men answering to the name Osama
Any music recordings for which you cannot prove ownership
Not only that, OpenOffice and other Open Source programs can be customized and modified at will -- by local programmers instead of by companies overseas
But one of the reasons MS is achieved so much success is because they made their stuff very easy to extend a long time ago, witness the gazillions of VB coders out there who use MS components in their apps, for example its a doddle to stick another button on to IE and code whatever you want behind it in C++ or VB taking advantage of almost all MS office functionality/disfunctionality depending on your point of view. Jesus the number of people I have seen working in major corps who depend on their self built spreadsheets to get anything done alone defies belief.
I always find this a very disingenuous argument for OSS as it implies MS software cannot be customized when it obviously can. Yes you dont have the source code but the occasions where the OS source is required are few and far between for application developers.
whats really needed is a campus along the lines of Camp X-Ray to deal with this sort of thing. This way the Govt can controll what the studenets research and who can distribute this information to. The new open wire cage format for the dorms will have the added avantage they it will be easy to immediately identify students sharing files illegally thus saving the RIAA money to track them down
but the image of a nerdy guy who spends all day in a dimly lit room blowing up computer-generated bad guys is off base
We all know daytime is for posting on/. and downloading pr0n and the odd bit of coding. All night should be spent in a dimly it room blowing up computer-generated bad guys
explain this. These tags are 'attached' are they not. Is this not like the the ad labels etc I junk after a purchase ???
From the hype I am starting to get the impression that somehow the clothing material is impregnated with some uniquely identifable device which will id me whereever I go, which I am pretty sure is not the case.
This aside, modern forensics are pretty much advanced to the point where pretty accurate is available from the fabric alone so the fuss is over what ????
I think its great these countries are aiming for space but I cant help wonder if this is some sort of Asian rerun of the pissing contest between the US and the USSR back in the day. God knows both these countries could spent the money elsewhere and while a moonbase is a nice idea, how much use is it really?
Secondly, and this is not a troll if Iraq was invaded because they posed an 'imminent threat' how do people think the US will view asian nuclear powers developing more sophisticated ballistic technology capable of delivering nuclear playloads to the US.
Just wait till we see reports about new fiendishly clever high tech criminals using smart bricks for the traditional smash and grab at a jewelers store

this looks more like the future of motoring
Audio fingerprinting mean I have to stick my fingers in my ears so I cant listen to mp3s that I *accidentally* downloaded from kazaa ??
which is a great boon to indoor GPS
Fantastic !! I will always be able to locate the TV remote no matter where it hides on me. Now wheres that fscking GPS receiver.....
Money may not be everything but with a couple of kids, a mortgage and a failing economy it essentially is everything

I cant what to see what happens when someone hacks into this system. I expect to see some cars reminiscent of my early childhood efforts with mecanno.
Personally I would stand in a sort of ducked position
should some of this information be classified?

that most of the .Net technology is still there in some shape of form but its the Marketing strategy that has failed miserably
No it just means you must supply a thumbnail of the cover for the album you are sharing and you can do as you please.., no wait thats not it..
Who among us buys the cheapest ??, always and expect quality
Its the quality that counts for most people. The after sales service had better be spectacular

LMAO I'm expecting to see someone post a .torrent file for this new internet any second now.
it was so noticable why does the world not Know ??
Its not about how many starving people there are but about humans continuing to push the envelope and continue to innovate, create, dream and achieve.
And how does doing any of these things in the intrests of humanity negate its value ???

Actually its a fiendishly cunning RIAA honey trap
"New life style"
Cant see the point of these things really but if the new Life Style is that of a pr0n star I will probably buy one.
Unfortunately the Mozilla project has already proved this is just not possible with Open Source Projects
