I really do not understand the point. If one can make a feedback system capable of effectively and intelligently guiding a blind person it wouldn't be necessary... Just make the car capable of driving itself. A sighted person has a hard enough time interpreting and reacting to evolving situations around them. Responding to vibrations and voice alerts is most certainly slower.
Exactly, last summer I had a kid run right out infront of my car, the only reason he isn't dead is because I saw him out of the corner of my eye and my brain knew without really thinking about it that at the speed he was moving he wasn't stopping at the curb. I was already putting on the breaks before he had placed one foot on the road. I'm sorry but this system no matter how good it is, will never be able to warn a blind driver in time for split second reactions.
In a world where information is power, governments who don't actually represent their people will always try to control the knowledge that their people have access to, lest they loose their grip on them.
So next time you have a house party with 6 friends you would like to have 24 cops show up at your door then taze you for playing your music too loud? Maybe in the states things are a little different but here 2 cops are enough and they have no problem breaking up any kind of party without needing to taze anybody. Are you telling me 4 cops couldn't restrain and remove 1 unarmed student without needing to electrocute him?
They already had him on the ground tazers were originally to disable people who were armed with things like knives without needing to kill them, not to make someone shut up.
ALSO, when someone grabs you unexpectedly your first natural reaction is to lay down and give up? Mine is to say get the fuck off me.
Maybe he should have been removed but this is still excessive force.
A better solution would be to drop them as your service provider and get a different one. Show them you expect the service you paid for and if they wont give it to you you will go to someone who will. If South Korean service providers can do it why can't they? Cause they are greedy thats why.

Hired Goons.

The goons grab Jack Thompson roughly and take him away. One steps back into the doorway and shakes his tie. They take him to Gates' Mansion.

My father and I called my sister on the in game phone, didn't have a microphone at the time so we just listened to her get mad because no one was saying anything when she said "hello". It was quite funny at the time.
Canada is the bizarro USA, our conservatives are more like your liberals, they do what they say (lower taxes for the poor ect) and our liberals are more like your conservatives (steal millions and somehow get away with it every time)
In Canada as far as I know you are un-chargeable until you are 12, then you are a young offender then at 18 chargeable as an adult. I'm fairly certain my 7 year old niece could shoot the president of the RIAA in the face and not be charged with anything... Hey I just got a fabulous idea!
Do they plan to make a router to match? Mine drops connection under heavy torrent load, or my instant messengers hop on and offline like a jackrabbit on crack. Looking online, this seems to not be an uncommon problem for routers and I have yet to see a (consumer) router designed to handle this type of traffic well.
None, but what do you expect? Giving the government power and not expecting them to use it is like giving a kid ice-cream and expecting them not to eat it.
"Customer service" as in service to those who consume and pay for it. Having her as a "customer" is a stupid business decision, she costs more money being on the service then she generates for it.
It's like squatting in a building then complaining to the owner that the air conditioning went out.
Exactly this is a free service that she admits that she only uses occasionally to see if any old friends have mailed her.
Meanwhile its filling with spam (she admits to not using it as much because there is too much spam) and taking up space, and don't forget, newer spam comes with pictures so you're talking 300 picture filled emails a month. Of course they might want to delete her account, then she wants them to pay a tech guy earning who knows how much to go find the backups to restore her FREE email? Fuck her. I would have been way ruder then he was!
Now the poor guy is getting death threats for only doing his fucking job and you people support it, are you all fucking stupid on Fridays or is it a 7 day a week thing?
humor aside most countrys where this would be usefull the average wage is $7 A Month. unless he is giving them away it's about as usefull as trying to sell them bottled water.
What fucking small buisness? It's a legal firm , with a bunch of dusty patents in a drawer , they make nothing and do nothing with 'their' technology. They are patent trolls who are in the buisness of stifeling inovation for money.
"He caught his breath when he saw the RIM story. For a decade, Mr. Stout and his long-time client, Chicago inventor Thomas Campana Jr., had been patiently sitting on a batch of patents for a system to send text messages from computers to wireless devices."
keyword there is SITTING, in otherwords waiting for someone big enough to pay big $$ in a settlement
'I made up my mind that if they didn't co-operate I was going to close them down.' - Thomas Campana Jr
Fuck him, RIM has hundreds of employees, Thomas Campana would have them loose their jobs , homes ect so he can proove he has the bigger dick.

Yes, probably one that supports "Pig Latin" since that is the language they are asking for in the screen shot. I'm Excited!

You have lost the ability to speak English, perhaps it's time to leave the cubicle and come back to society!

He must have been picketing outside a free-speech zone.
Not to mention you could shoot someone through a window without breaking the glass! Assassination possibilities abound!
