Couldn't. Agree. More.
There's a reason I've ditched my iphone and will be soon to ditch my ipad.... not that they're not totally cool devices, just that Apple are acting like such douches. I remember how much I used to hate on Microsoft for not being open, not allowing everyone to play and now here we are, Apple are doing the EXACT same thing.
Thank fuck Android is open source, this bullshit ends here.
Past about 6in and the resolution/consistency of image is shocking.... Notice how he has to keep dragging the image down to be close to the air outlet?
Doesn't really look ready for prime time. (and come to think about it I can't imagine how they will solve keeping the air flows regular over large distances....)
Using generic webcam type parts and open source software?
Perhaps we should build an open system that anyone can log plate captures to....to be honest some of the douche bags that drive up my street way too fast could do with being shopped, replete with photo and license plate details....
When you say energy losses due to transportation, are you just talking about transmission over wires?
How about conversion to something like hydrogen?
There are lots of desert areas that I'm sure could be used for energy generation, at least it would be better than polluting our way to global death....
OMFG! The perpetual war is here already... don't you pay attention? What do you think this pointless, fruitless search for terrorists is? They're the ultimate enemy (in the eyes of the goverment) because they can never be caught or defeated...
Mate, fuck I thought I was going mad.... glad I'm not the only one who thinks that it's seriously not a huge amount of money, just seems in vogue to hate Sony.
As I have said before, the target audience for these consoles is no longer 12 year olds, it's 25 - 30 year olds, because on the whole they have the largest disposable income. 300 quid or 600 dollars or whatever... it's not a big deal for this age group.
Oh, and a digital compass as well please - exif would perfect with gps + direction facing.
Eventually you could build up a database of pictures that overlap so theoretically you could build a picture of the whole world - would be cool to get a open database of photos all over a town say - would make creating realistic games all the easier.
I think I'd of agreed with most of it if he'd said 25 years, but not 10 - I'd be very, very surprised.
Right now you could have rediculously complicated alarm clocks - but most people just need to get up, and any 5 buck alarm clock will do. Plus just about everyone I know uses their mobiles for alarm clocks anyways...

Urm..... bullshit!
Most routers run Cisco IOS.
Admittedly I believe the Junipers run some sort of BSD but there's probably 20:1 Cisco to Junipers.
The perception of US 'freedom' is being undermined on a daily basis just like pieces of wood being removed from a jenga tower.
/glad I'm european.
Wonder how long you've got before it topples.
Urm isn't that precisely why there are more zombies in europe?

oops I meant: http://www.fs.fed.us.nyud.net:8090/gpnf/volcanocam s/msh/
come on, be kind:
Fair enough.
;)
I suppose it'd be more like the technique they use for 3d sonar... except hopefully with a faster refresh
Regarding cars -
surely we could just sweep a range of values....
or are you of the mind that a TV is impossible because we can only draw one line of dots?
just a case of enough processing power, surely?

330am your time buddy.
It's the middle of the morning here in europe and we've taken over the slashdotting duties while you guys get some shut eye.
....in a couple of hundred years, I'd be most depressed if they can't deal with a small nuclear reactor falling back to earth.
I mean we're meant to be progressing in our knowledge and abilities, no?
Running it happiliy on my k6-2/400 laptop
Seriously, Audio CDs - Poor ????
K3B is the best piece of buring software that I have ever used.... makes nero seem pretty shocking....
Seriously, who marked this as interesting?
Since when has stephen hawking been nuts? physically disabled yes, nuts no.
Or am I speaking out of my arse?
And in other news, techno soothsayers predict that verisign is going to be the target of a large DDos attack in the near future......
