So you walk into a store or mall, they tell you - No Shirt, no service. No smoking in the building. No Skateboards. No Pets. Since you wear this on your back and there's really no space for parking, how will the shopping malls accommodate to its customers?
I don't forsee the need for a No Jet Pack sticker. Its going to be just one more thing to remember. They can enlarge the doors to let you walk into the store with your jetpack. The only problem I see is that they'll have to increase the size of the aisles.
I wonder who is funding the networks in Japan. In the US and Canada its generally the Telcos (MA Bells) and the Cable companies. These companies collect their subscriber fees and then bug the governments for tax favors, grants... you know the usually political favors.
So is the Japanese system entirely subscriber funded, government or both?
If this is "one key to control everything I own", I'm not signing up. Now, I know what people are going to say if I utter these words, but I think this needs some serious independent security audits. Apple might not trust another company or independent consultant(s), but I think the US government (FBI, NSA) and other international law enforcement should look at this. Even if you distrust the government, you know they have the resources and manpower to test and review this and in anycase and they will figure out a way to hack it anyways. Might as well make it "known" who is testing it anyways.:)
I love playing FPSes. Portal is a really cool game but I only played for about 15 minutes. I felt like throwing up afterward. I never bothered finishing the game. I watched the ending on Youtube. Qute. Only which I could have played it.
I understand that Valve tends to adjust the line of sight of the player slightly (like in Half-Life series) and for some people it makes them really dizzy and nauseous. There's a hack to readjust the line of sight. I have tried that as well and no luck.
In fact, while I enjoy Valve's games - I have played up to HL2, all their games, and really only Valve is the problem, make me really nauseous. I have not had any problem or significant problem with any other FPS or any other type of video game - COD, Modern Warfare, Solider Fortune, Delta Force, Operation Flashpoint have ALL been fine.
Exactly, I've seen plenty of people who are an eyesore to look at. Its none of my business - good 'genes', income (to buy clothes) and personal taste all play a role in how one looks. If people are so uptight about the way their property looks, shouldn't the people of OC not regulate the appearance of the population to be more uniform? Afterall, it would be for the good of the greater community, blah, blah, blah.
I think its quite ridiculous. Ditto mowing the lawn. Some people prefer to keep the grass abnormally short and mow the lawn once or twice a week where I've live. The gas movers spew all kinds of crap in the air that you can smell the fumes many houses away. I think at the expense of having neighbors not like me because I have taller grass on my lawn, I can literally breath easier.
I agree, but, as a general exception it depends on the importance ('how much is on the line if we fail') of the Department or Agency in question. The greater the risk, the more likely it is to deliver (so you could call it high quality if you ignore the inevitable overspending). There's always going to be spending boondoggles, errors in policy or implementation and outright failures - we're all human and even big corporations have those too.
Those departments that have little or no importance, accountability or are solely designed for policy purposes are the ones most likely to fail or offer low quality service.
Why do people bother using 'old' with P4 and especially a 286, 386, C64? Is is that there are 'new' ones that you can just buy on the market? Seems redundant.
I must ask to clarify: Are you saying there are not enough sinks in the U.S.? My home has 2 in the bathroom, one in the kitchen, and one in the basement. Now, if you are talking about 'everything but the kitchen sink', that stills leaves me with 3 sinks to dispose of this nuclear waste. There are millions of Americans who have sinks where we can stash the stuff. Once its down the sink, it just disappears and out of sight anyways. Seesh!
"And how do you tell the public that everything is safe when the nuclear industry is lying like Dick Cheney?"
That's quite the loaded statement. You fail to mention how often Dick Cheney tells the truth!
In an equally optimistic point of view, if Higgs boson is later shown to not exist, the Tevatron Collider can claim that it was able to not find it before the LHC!
Brilliant. Yours is probably the clearest explanation of a prion I have read. I was confused on some of the points and this clears it up for me. Thanks once again!
There is also lots of trial and error in any new travel medium. The first planes were not capable of trans-continental flight. The first ships were probably lucky to float let alone sail.
Its conceivable too that these other alien life forms decided just to travel outside of their planet right away (maybe it just sucks there). They made space travel the utmost priority and they nailed all the sciences required for space travel in the span of a few hundred years.
Opening the discussion to deploying a radio observatory some distance away from Earth is important not just for SETI even if it does nothing to extend our range of detection of other life forms. I'm not aware of commitments to space programs other than NASA but as I recall, NASA is facing a crisis amid budget cuts and program setbacks. This discussion at least opens up talk of our priorities to finding more about space and life outside of our solar system and advancing our current detection methods and technologies.
I think a simple algebraic equation in place of the current tax code are in order. I am Canadian but I've seen some of the hoops you have to jump through in the US to file taxes. Neither of us are immune. My tax at this moment takes about 30 minutes to file and I only have one employer and no investments.
The only reason I see complex rules and regulations for income tax as beneficial, in general, is when someone has a lot of money and needs all kinds of tax breaks. In these cases they will probably already have an accountant to take care of matters. I'm not going to argue here if this is good or bad, but it leaves most of the general population in frustration and *afraid* to file taxes simply because they think they got it all wrong.
I'm sorry, but this would be an inappropriate use of the word Bullshit. I am an avid reader of the most in-depth review of this word, On Bullshit by Harry Frankfurt. In his thorough review, he lists and explains various uses for the word Bullshit and he has not used it as a scientific unit of measurement.
Frankly, I think your post is bullshit as is the +5 Funny. I believe you would understand my level of frustration with your post if I inappropriately labeled it as 10^200 bullshits. If you care to reply, please bear in mind that based my dissatisfaction with your response I may need to increase the bullshits exponentially.
This explains how most of the EA games are made by a bunch of brain dead people. They are trying to be too big and they can't manage it properly.
If people are working 110 hours they should have added more developers earlier and kept the same development period. They are wasting people's livelihood, health and families just because they are too bloody cheap to hire more people.
Just wondering if this is provider dependent. Can the provider ask or change the GPS feature on the phone to simply turn it off unless you pay them x per month? And if you turn off the phone and use GPS, I assume there won't be any roaming charges since your phone is talking to the GPS satellite? I plan on travelling more often to the US (from Canada) and was hoping a GPS plus local maps on a smartphone would be handy.
I'd like to get a GPS since I've seen some software you can add to some smart phones to log mileage and from running and biking. I run marathons and usually have my cell phone with me when not competing (all for fun). The Heart Rate Monitor + GPS (together) are over $400 CAD whereas I have a $150 HRM and I need a new phone anyways.
Here's an easy fix that will shutdown a large part of another economic import from South America that makes both parties very, very rich. Since, I think South American countries feel they are probably getting screwed by the US government, they should start an embargo themselves and stop Cocaine exports to the US. Yes, coke is highly illegal to begin with in the US, but the drug trade is a significant economic contributor, a lot more I would think than IP and sugar combined.
I've lost respect for most principals. I can't remember any that were seemingly interested or engaged with students save for disciplinary action. Most did not want to even speak with students. Their job, in part, should be to make the learning environment encouraging to students instead of instilling fear and distrust. This is certainly the opposite of what I found with the two post-secondary institutions I graduated from.
A relative was a HS principal. I acknowledge he happens to have strong opinions and is perhaps a bit arrogant. But, when we last met a few years ago when I was 28, he still spoke to me as a mere child (it is not just because of a familial relationship). He similarly speaks to his kids the same way even though I am much more responsible.
I've met some of the other principles that are his colleagues and even as a smart, trouble-free teenager, I was always spoken down to.
Quit complaining! This is precisely the reason that Mozilla has the Tab feature. I went to the 5 links and found those pages had more links to explain Jetpack. Clicked on those too and I've almost surfed the whole Internet. Phew! If it weren't for Tabs I would still be at it for years.
Unless the airports do a *full* body search, I've notice that the body image scanners leave out imaging the genetalia. It would seem a determined terrorist decide to hide an object on the body in this region knowing that will not be imaged.
If my hunch is right, OnLive won't need to be concerned over any TCP/IP stuff. The secret is all in the target market for the service.
My hunch says OnLive is going for a target demographic of -at minimum- people over the age of 80. They have already beat Halo 1,2 and 3 so for them, it is about enjoying the experience again. Latency and round-trip don't enter into consideration. When you pull that game you beat 2 weeks ago and reinstall it, do you care about how good it looks or plays? No! You just want to bask in the joy of playing it all over again. Same thing here.
I'll bet that 100% of Internet users over the age of 80 with an Internet connection can transmit TCP/IP packets. OnLive can confidently target 100% of this demographic.
This explains why paper notes I've left on my fridge with magnets keep sliding down. So in this conspiracy, the magnetic reversal is the blame of either the Russians or the makers of sticky note paper.
