The Human Locator can't yet identify, say, obese pedestrians and then bombard them with images of a cheeseburger and fries.
You would think we would advertise diets and exercise routines to obese people instead of supersized cheesburgers and fries !!
BTW:anyone notice that mc donalds pulled the supersize option on their menus? hmmm wonder if that had anything to with the documentary !
a leading Indian Business daily newspaper The Econmictimes has an article that quotes a dell spokesman as having said "Dell has no plans to scale back resources at the Bangalore call center or change employment plans in the United States, although he would not comment on specifics."
With the tens of millions of users on P2P sites what is the probability that you will get sued ? My guess is you have a higher risk of getting into a car accident.
Also what are these RIAA moron going to do when they find out the person they have sued lives in Azerbijan or Malaysia ?
How about we set up a taskforce where people can donate there time to tracking down scum like this ? an open-ended (instead of source) taskforce where anyone can volunteer to help
The above article talks about a guy whose former job position was "vice president and a director of interactive marketing for Rapp Digital" currently employed as a sales person at a Gap store.
Talk about diversifying your skillset!

You maybe still struggling with sad broadband! Here down in India I am roaring on the superhighway with a beautiful 28.8kb (b for bits). Its really beautiful down here in the fast lane, everything whizzes by so darn fast.
But seriously ever since I moved back from broadband to modem, I have been more selective with what I do on the Internet. Hence a lot less wasted time and lot more meaningful information.
Insurance Companies already discriminate against particular groups when setting insurance premiums. E.G.Young drivers in the state of NYC Pay a much higher auto preimum than most, this is discrimnation based on age and location in action. Using genetic information when doing risk-evaluation merely would put in another level of discrimination into the current system.
Also one has to take into account Insurance companies are kept in check by the laws of the land.For Example Ethnicity/Color of Skin/Religion cannot be take into account when evaluating risk for an individual. Similarly it could be possible to outlaw genetic profiling in calculating insurance premiums.
This sounds pretty cool but what stops someone from stealing the transmission codes while in the presence of the owner and using a reprogrammed transmitter with the correct key to bypass the encryption.
Another random thought why don't we just stick a GPS transmitter built into the system that gives the computers encrypted co-ordinates at bootup. Then if the user lost his computer he could ask verify its co-ordinate using his decryption key in his transmitter.

Yea right 5 billion years, like humans will still be around by then. I doubt this race will live through the next million years.

I wouldn't mind a stack of recycled copier paper if it saved me a over 100 bucks. Lots of University textbooks are in the $100+ range.
