...where are those flying cars already? And if we keep building things like this and flying cars come about, what will ever happen to them? I mean, some people will still drive cars around, but less and less... probably even preferring airtaxis for longer trips. So the more highways we build now, the better today... the worse tomorrow.

Halo 2 Reviews

Attack Microsoft for their business practices, their lack of support or security. I'll agree with you. But not innovation.
Microsoft makes a point of hiring the smartest people it can get its hands on, and often just releases them in small groups to create whatever they want or can. They actually dedicate money and people to research and exploring new ideas.
Either way, the whole MS-Bungie thing does piss me off. I could've been playing Halo 2 a few years ago.

The Conference Bike

The real way meetings work would be reflected in a bike as follows:
The wheels are arranged in a circle around the rim; all the bike can do is spin. The harder you pedal, the faster you spin, but you still end up going nowhere.
Actually, it appears to do more than analyze using conditional statements. Finding an error, calculating likelyhood of a problem, and things like that smell like fuzzy logic to me, slightly more intelligent than a decision tree. From the article, also: LV2 will decide the best way future missions with subsystem failures can continue and still achieve goals. That, especially, seems a little more intelligent. Though I do agree that calling this AI is jumping the gun - it'd be nothing more than a basic neural net, if even that.
...what the hell are the ethics of edu-hacking? That's pretty weird, if you ask me. It could be considered like white hat except that it's done for the hacker's benefit as well, but still... it seems a little fishy. I mean, would you go through an Anarchist's Cookbook with your teacher? Maybe that's just me. *shrug*
...keep in mind that we have established numerous times that windows is not suitable for systems that need reliability and stability. It is not the operating system's fault that this happened, it is the FAA's for choosing to use it instead of considering the better alternatives. If you get run over on a bicycle while riding on the highway, don't blame the bike. Quick addition: it seems that the fault does not belong entirely to windows, but rather a combination of the software running on it and the system architecture.
With that said, Windows could stand to improve a lot. It has too many bugs, too many flaws, and so on. And it definitely does not have a stable, secure, reliable base. So don't expect it to.
Physical objects are a tad harder to find. We would be happy to find a civilization like our own... however, we didn't notice a rather large until three days after it had almost hit our planet. The other real snag happens to be major as well - it doesn't travel at the speed of light. Puts things on a slightly larger timescale, doesn't it?
...people don't interfere with it per se. Thieves armed with a laptop will nab your opener code at a gas station, and then follow you to a hotel or wherever your destination is. They steal the car at night, and are long gone with 3-4 hours head start. They're nice and useful, I'm sure, but not always appropriate.

Yes, Toys 'R' Us did sue first. Didn't you read the story?
It should be bits/sec*(1/8), since you're getting one byte per every 8 bits. And you probably knew that, but I'm anal.
On the other hand, who knows what's happening when the bits are getting stuck someplace....
"Apple patented by Microsoft."
"sold commercially as the 'Adams Apple'"
We need some more, like... "Just some more worms for Microsoft" "Do they have plans for authentication?" "Microsoft shows the softer side of a monopoly" ...and so on...
I would imagine it helps with range, yes. The article says that there is an optimum packet size for a specific noise ratio, depending on how often packets need to be resent. The noisiness is affected as much by distance as by interferece or other obstacles, so I would bet that essentially everybody who used wireless would stand to benefit. 'sides, you don't really lose much (anything?) by using this technology, and it sounds like it could be implemented incredibly cheaply.
... is to surround myself with all my digital belongings in my tomb. I'd place it right next to the jars containing my preserved organs, so that my mummified body can enjoy Tribes 1 eternally into the afterlife. I might also have a giant pyramid built above my tomb, just for kicks.

A solid wooden stake usually does the trick. Make sure it's the heart, though...
