Do you really think technology lasts 5 years? Not a bad assumption in this case, you could easily go through two cameras in that
time, but the SD card will not suffer too much wear and tear tucked safely inside the
camera. The flash memory may be a bit slow in the second camera but not too bady
as were only talking about 2.5 years between cameras.
Essentially the advantage this card adds is not having to get up off your ass and walk 10 feet across the room to get your camera if it's not next to the computer.. You take all your photos within 10 feet of your computer? I'd suggest your working practices
are somewhat atypical...
especially given how prone SD cards are to getting lost. Then again, this is just me, I'm sure to some people with fatter asses than myself this is a value worth far more than the price difference. A WiFi SD card would not get lost because it would never leave the camera! If you leave the confines of your house
you may find the notion of all your photos being automatically downloaded to a 100Gb protable media
player in your bag very attractive indeed.
With that sort of setup the main limit on shooting is the number of batterys you can carry.
It's like Bruce Schneier has said many times, if you're spending time and effort in trying to prevent hollywood movie-style terrorist attacks instead of the routine, more effective (and much more likely) types of attacks, then you're probably wasting your time and resources.
What they really need to deal hollywood movie-style terrorist attacks is a bright 6 year old to point out
the gaping and exploitable holes in the attack plans
Laches is an equitable defense, or doctrine, in an action at law. The person invoking laches is asserting that an opposing party has "slept on its rights",
Does the patent holder have to sue to assert their rights? Or can they claim patent infringement
and then delay legal action to an unnamed later date?
Disney MUST get the video taken down. They have a history of requiring strict compliance with copyright law, ... and it only needs one trigger happy attack lawyer to go off and things start getting interesting.
No doubt somewhere in the Halls of Disney, lawyers are examining this video very carefully. If they think they can win, they will send the takedown notice, because if they don't it sets a precedent too. Of course in their eyes the worst
case is to send a takedown and lose in court. But leaving it stand is second-worst.

I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone.

In a sane world, nothing. Alice created a publicly-accessible network that did not require any form of authentication at any network level.
Unfortunately this happened in the UK, where such quaint ideas such as discression, common sense, and the rule of law are things of a bygone era. In a sane world Bob would not be parked outside Alices house at night in a car screened with cardboard.
I was sitting in the car this morning and the thought popped into my head
"How long should I carry on boycotting Sony?" (I have just not bought a
Sony camera:-).
Its nice to have one of life's great questions answered so quickly...
My best friend backpacking through Asia was a self-powered hard drive enclosure.
A year or so ago that may well have been the best option however
hard drive does not respond well to beind drenched in the monsoon dropped
etc. Flash is 8-10$/Gb a pocket full of SD cards won't break the bank and
better still they can be posted home as they fill up (with some cooperation
they could be emptyed and posted out again on long trips)
All right, so this may be the joke flying over my head, but since when did the Sun orbit the Earth?
Well according to this guy it always has... and your just part of
the Zionist conspiricy to cover up the fact.

The Original Quote was
Beware the Four Horsemen of the Information Apocalypse: terrorists, drug dealers, kidnappers, and child pornographers. Seems like you can scare any public into allowing the government to do anything with those four. -- Bruce Schneier I'd be inclined to collapse drug dealers, kidnappers in to Crime and add in Digtial Pirates to the
list. They may not be as scary but there just as good at getting the Goverment to do stupid shit.
Personally I'm rather happy with the Licence Fee For 11 pounds ($21) a month I get 5 TV channels 11 radio channels.... What do you get for $21/month?
Most of these are commercial stations.
PBS, off the air, is funded by donations and is somewhat commercial free. In the past they carried much in the way of BBC material.
I'm not trying to be critical of the UK tv license, only trying to put things into perspective. If you will pardon my snippage
OK you get about 80 stations for $26 How many are actually worth watching? and would your like them better if they had
no ads:-) and better still could be critical about any company without worrying about loss of Ad revenue.
There is also Freeview which is getting
increaingly good 40 odd free channels with about 5-10 digital only commercial channels with anything worth watching
(Freeview would have died without Aunty comming in an giving the kiss of life, she's rather keen on going digital)
I'm not saying the system is prefect but for the most part I like what there
doing with my money
The idea of TV licensing has always troubled me, and radio licenses doubly so. There's a saying here in the US that derives from an early Supreme Court case, and it says "the power to tax is the power to destroy". Now, think about that for a moment. Are you comfortable giving the government power to destroy television and/or radio communications?
Well its just as well that the goverment does not get the UK licence fee
it goes direct to the BBC I suppose the BBC could destroy itself but then thats not really in its best interest. There is no such thing as a Radio Licence (unless you count a Ham Radio Licence)
Personally I'm rather happy with the Licence Fee For 11 pounds ($21) a month I get 5 TV channels 11 radio channels
(all of which are actually worth watching/listening to) plus
Audio (and soon video) on demand and one of the best websites in the world.
and on top of that we get an organization that considers it its job to ask the goverment (and opposition) awkward
questions
What do you get for $21/month?
After seeing a few Holocaust-type films where people secretly listen to the BBC broadcasts on shortwave while their nation is occupied by the Axis during World War II, you might begin to get the notion that this freedom sort of freedom is a good thing. Why should it ever be a crime to listen to someone else's over-the-air broadcasts?
Ah they would be listening to the BBC World Service
Founded in 1932 its not funded by the Licence fee, its funded from UK taxes by the UK goverment (specifically the Foreign Office)
(Especially if they're intended for general public distribution and not, say, intercepting cell phone conversations and such... and, of course, actually broadcasting, of course, is a whole 'nother kettle o' fish...)
I wonder if subscription channels will take this view.
And... you think because you're getting an IP address from DHCP that nobody can map who had IP address x.x.x.x at time YY:ZZ on date x/x/x? You're deluding yourself.
Normally when I use Skype it says it has about 6 to 8 million users on line. Are you saying that Skype
is going query every one of those peoples ISP to determine who is using a given IP at a given time
just to determine the user identity? This is epeically futile given that in many cases DHCP is used to
administer the local network hiding behind a 'public' IPs.
Very intresting research but why do we need to find out why the seaside smells like the seaside? I'm all for curiousity and discovering stuff, but this sounds really useless. How about a different spin on the story
New biosynthetic pathway for dimethyl sulphide discovered
Dimethyl sulphide is used in petroleum refining, steel mills and as a feed stock for the important solvent
dimethyl sulfoxide. It is hoped that these the new bacterial synthetic pathway can replace the
current polluting industrial process with a cleaner greener biosynthetic process.
Surely the point is that any forces in Iraq shouldn't have weak points in their bases.
In Notthern Ireland the army were not under dayly bombardment.
Short of putting the base under a 2ft dome of reinforced concrete there are always spots in a base
which are going to take more damage from a morter round tents landrovers etc..
With that kind of money they can problably buy an old cruise liner or cargo ship and then have a mobile platform that truely lives outside of territorial waters.
I suspect running expences would be far higher than sealand.
I just did a backup of my laptop. It took 6 single-layer DVDs, which were nearly full. At 20KB/s upstream, which is about what I get (and yes that's kilobytes not bits), that's a minimum of 17 days of continuous uploading, and that's assuming Comcast doesn't shut me down first.
Consumer bandwidth is the problem for those services, really. On top of that maxing out the ADSL upload is going to make the connection suck bigtime

The London Hydraulic Power Company became an early example on internet tubes.
I seem to recall they have a way of spotting stolen laptops and shutting them down as soon as the are connected to the internet.
