well as far as hurting privacey these tags sound like they can do the job. BUT will they really helpo stop shoplifters? I mean It sounds so easy to deactivate the tags and stuff. Will jamming equiptment be standard for the shoplifter of teh future?
well states,like CA, will likely pass laws requiring goverment and fleet cars to be powered by hydrogen first. Also the feds will give tax breaks to people/companies who buy them. Car makers will sell them at a loss becuase current clean air standards allow them to produce more gas guzzling cars for every zero emmisions car. They have a certain average or mean they have to keep to.
this car is everythign I think cars should be. Well I do not really like the minivan styling, but that could be changed. also I would like it to be 4 wheel drive and taller, with bigger tires. The skateboard chassi is to me the biggest inovation.
the option sfor finally ending the stupididty of car design are huge. Cars are not upgradable today. I wan t cars to be more like PC's where most parts can work( or be made to almost work) with most others.
I want a few modular systems that are cheap to produce and disposable. I could care less about the pollution, but if it pollutes at the same or lower levels COOL.
well hydrogen is the most plentiful stuff in the universe. It just sounds like we should be able to get out hands on all we need somehow. If we just had some huge, fussion reactor nearby or something:).
Ok check this out. Cornering and breaking will be determined by software. Does this mean that you will get a license agreement for your car? So we will all be driving corvettes, but they will be tuned to drive like pintos unless we but the upgrade? Will third party/open source be legal for these cars?
i had a teacher that worked as a trash man during the summer when i was in middle school. The kids where making fun of that one day. He said , " Don't laugh, my summer job pays better than teaching"

I have read that more animals are killed per calorie during modern farming for grains than from eating cows. A large number of cute and fuzzy bunnies, field mice, etc are killed by farming practices in somewhat savage ways.
yea i had to change my hotmail acount cuz it kept filling up with bs klez files. I never would open them of course..but it still kept filling up my free box that i use to avoid my regualr email getting junk/spam/virus email.
well in 100 years we may also know how to clean up the place. I mean we could have WAY advanced technology by then and simply have a spray bottle full of stuff that removes radioactive fallout.

actually having money really is a requirement. In the state that I live in it is almost impossible to collect money from a person on unsecured( not a house , car etc) debt. Plus anywhere in the US you can file bankruptcy pretty cheap. BAnkruptcy is a hassle BUT no lawyer will sue somebody unless they have assetts that can be attached to. If you do not own a home, company, stocks or securities( and anything in your IRA or 401k can't be sized from a lawsuit) property of some kind a judgement is IMPOSSIBLE to collect from you.
I watched the PBS special on hamilton Vs. Burr the other day. I really think the solution to liable and slander in the US is a return to the dueling system. This owuld have the added bonus of limiting negative campaign ads in political campaigns.
here in Texas a woman was jailed for refusing to give up a source. The judge said she( writing a book about a trial under contract from a publisher and published other places) was not a "real" journalist. This really gets to the heart of a problem in the US. "Real journalists" are often allowed freedoms other people are not. While i think journalists are needed and these freedoms are important. I am also concerned that alternative voices( anything from hightimes to maximumn rock and roll to weblogs) may be silenced by not having access to these freedoms. This will basicly make the only "real journalists" people who write for corperate owned media outlets.
ok I see this as something that has real potential to change the world of body art. This could be as big as the first electric guns. The electric gun made tatt's hurt less and easier to give. This will ( if developed far enough) make pretty much anybody able to put a tatt on somebody regardless of their ability to draw perfect lines. It will not replace the artist( you still have to have a design) and a techinician will be needed to operate the machine safely. However people who have little artistic ability will be able to put ink on skin and have it look great. Another thing about tatt's is that the artist can't erase. This could allow talented artists to produce much better looking work in a program( simular to photoshop ) then have the robot copy it EXACTLY on to the skin. More so software could be made to replicate a model of the subjects skin, virtual skin per se, and it could be included in the initial design.
they whre windows machines...the people trashing them where doing the les fortunate a favor by keeping them from having them.

I have an excuse..MONEY..why pay 3.00 bucks for a cd you can make for 30 cents? Why not instead sell the CD for 3.00 dollars less. I owuld MUCH rather buy a CD-R for 3.30 than a pressed CD for 6.30 or 9.30. Most people who buy from DJ's, punk bands, indie artists don;t care about a slick glossy package.
another reason is that a CD burner is cheap and we already have them( most of us). VCD's will play on a DVD player , also a common household item. And if I want to put out a low budget video or show, VCD's are the way to go. MUCH cheaper than DVD or tape!
cd r's can hold a video tape about the same quaility of a VHS tape. The quality is also slightly lower than the resolution on most TV's. video cd format or VCD is around 250 lines of resolution. The average TV displays 300. VHS tapes are around 250 too.
ok oil production is a big con. We can produce oil MUCH faster than we are. The supply of oil is limited by oil producing goverments to keep prices stable(high). We have at LEAST enough oil to last another 50 years. We also have alternatives( biomass, fuel cells, solar, etc) that are usuable right now. They are not used because they cost too much. When the price of oil rises, they will come into use. Other than oil the US does not look so bad does it?

PDF is a royal pain in the ass. It can be ok for downloading long manuals I guess. But it is often used to view pages and this is like the worst.
