There was just an article on this very thing that I believe Linksys or D-Link is selling. Its a video camera that you connect to your TV and broadband modem/router.
Okay they think they have the gene isolated, but now what? How many more years will it take to use this information effectively? It seems like these discoveries are happening faster, but when you are dealing with accelerated aging the people do not have much time to wait.
Some 3rd party tools can be very helpful and are cheaper then building your own. The problem though is some of these are really adware and spyware. You should ask around and see if your boos and coworkers know what spyware is. Explain that your company is using spyware (if it is) and you should also explain the benefits by using a different solution.
We don't have to worry about that nanotech any more. It was slashdotted to oblivion. Pretty soon so will all of this genetic stuff, then we can feel free to live again!
If this keeps up pretty soon we will just walk right to the plane and security will be automatic. It will detect if we have guns, knives, razor blades, bombs, burnable shoes, and not to mention if we have a cold, flu, bubonic plague, HIV. What's next? Automatically looking up our families' histories to find any "unpatriotic" tendencies? Are they going to analyze our DNA and see if we are "genetically inclined" to do something?
I don't think I'm paranoid, but this is starting to go overboard! On the other hand though we have SARS, which is pretty scare in itself. I understand why they are doing this, but what happens after SARS is nothing but history, if that happens at all? What reason will they give next time to check us for anything and everything?
This is what I would suggest too. However one must remember the KISS principle (Keep it Simple Stupid) meaning that if you really want it secure using a cell phone is probably not the best way to go about it!
They probably didn't see an extra dime and the so-called "upper level management" is milking it for all its worth. Notice how you can't recall their names off the top of your head?
Verisign also had a good deal with domain names and they still charge outrageous prices on them.
Juice has sugar and calories and all, but if you think in more general terms is an all-natural fruit juice better for you then a cola drink?
If you would not choose the water and had only Orange Juice and Coke, I would say it would be better to go with the "lesser of the evils". It may not be the best for weight loss, but for a complete and balanced diet its pretty good. You are having something natural that is not processed. You are also having fruit, which is always a good thing. You are also not having to worry about the effects of the pop. I've always heard that pop is very acidic and damages your stomach lining, not to mention everything else.
I do believe this is one of the main reasons for the switch over. The question though is what happens a few years down the road when 10, 20, or 50 are burned out? Will they wait until theres only one left to replace the thing? Usually it seems that elected officals and technology are not the best combination...
So do I! I have always been interested in tessellations and all of the different implications about them, both known and unknown.
Making "math stuff" fun should be a high goal for anyone trying to help school age kids. Science and math really are interesting, but the way they are taught can make all the difference in schools. I try to explain different formulas and provide a wide variety of calculators at my site WebCalc.
Another thing to remember with math is that if you couldn't keep track of your finances you would not be able to buy any new toys (especially the latest computers).
Let me suggest WebCalc, which is a large educational site that provides online calculators for a variety of needs. If people are sick of working with numbers there are also many games available on the site.
Another benefit is the games are fun, but also most of them also involve some deep thinking skills. Summer is also a great time to start a new educational and fun hobby such as Astronomy. And if its really hot outside and you wonder why the thermometer is so low you can calculate the heat index.
The/. effect seems to be getting worse and worse. Only 15min and the sites are down. Anybody have a mirror? Somebody should do something, warning them about being on slashdot or something so mirrors can be created beforehand, not after all is said and done.
They are telling me I should go into "Organizational Leadership and Supervision" to get a "head start" on the though IT job market. I'm still not sure what I'm doing, but better be deciding soon.
I believe you are right on there! The problem I have though is stopping eating, when I'm hungry, or at least think I'm hungry I eat/drink. I'm starting to work on grabbing a water bottle instead of a coke now though and other such changes. Although I think calorie limits are the only real way to lose wait.
If you eat less then you burn you lose weight! It really is that simple, but the problem is doing it. I have some interesting calculators that help guide your calorie limits at Health and Fitness Calculators (and going to number 6 Health and Fitness)
Okay maybe I'm wrong, but all of this talk with MS and open source seems very out of place. Releasing the Xbox seemed out of place to for a software company, especially a software company that has been in trouble for being a monopoly.
Perhaps the software wouldn't run on Xbox like I implied in my original message, but instead a line of home products that started with the Xbox. Perhaps I'm just totally wrong though, and then you can just ignore my ramblings.
That may be a bit extreme. However the news seems to be getting worse as they find out more about it. Perhaps they need something more like a lockdown facility, but that would be like jailing everybody. It's a lose/lose situation until this thing is all figured out.
I do not think going down the road of AI and building machines that look and/or think like humans is a good idea. I think because of the consequences that we can not even fathom now. They say we only use 2% of our mental capacity, so what if we could build a machine that was better then ourselves? Wouldn't this lead directly to our own extinction? On a higher level of thinking this is probably a good thing, but I don't know about you but I certainty do not want to be replaced by some being that we have created.
I mention computers because they would probably be behind the logic of these devices. Perhaps not though...
Look at where our thinking has taken us. We have wars, plagues, hate, injustice, starvation, pollution and more.

This is probably OT, but can the US Government sue itself? Like the DOJ sueing the DOD?
Its nice to see that they are using open-source when they are talking about it! Ogg is nice from an all mp3 era...

Hmm I have noticed this with IE6 on WindowsMe, but it doesn't happen in Mozilla. I will look into it though as I just thought it was me.
Or perhaps I should go back to calculating formulas.

Thats basiclly what I told them ;-)

How is this going to stop them in OTHER countries? How much spam is really sent from within the US of A?

This seems to be more for their XBox line of products and not for the john doe linux user IMHO.
I have the same feelings. Why doens't anyone ask me?
