I think the fiber is more like the Nexus products, and even Android.
I don't know that Google wants to be an ISP any more than they want to be a device manufacturer or a language house. But they'll do a little of both to push the market the way they want it. They don't want to be rule the world as an ISP, they just want ISPs to have service that makes Google more money.
People who use a handheld computer while driving should have their license suspended, and the circumstances should be used to determine the amount of time they spend in jail... no exceptions should be allowed, in my not-so-humble and somewhat emotionally outraged opinion.
Oh, please. Let's send everyone with screaming kids in their cars to jail too.
Life is not perfectly safe. There are all sorts of things people do that reduce that safety. Get over it.
It was raining. Uh huh. Heard it before "I wasn't washing my horse, it just rained." Sure, fella.
If the police notice that your horse is wet, you're guilty. Guilty guilty guilty. But if you rat on your neighbor, maybe they'll go easy on you. Does he smoke pot? You better hope so.
Apparently so. Given the overwhelming evidence that many of the activities mentioned in this thread do dramatically increase the risk of having an accident, it appears that a lot more things should be prohibited than actually are.
Let's ban driving. That'll decrease car accident risk.
Yes, "only the government" can do anything. Couldn't wipe our asses without the government's help.
As far as 100mil/year, there are a number of *individuals* in the world who could fund the project entirely on his own indefinitely. The Paul Allen Brain Institute has been running a brain mapping project for years now.
Also, take a look at the X Prize Foundation to see some of the things some people are doing without Big Daddy to wipe their rears for them.
All sorts of things happen without the government's help. Often the government is the biggest obstacle to progress, particularly in health care.
Is there anyone who wouldn't? He's torturing millions of his subjects while threatening tens of millions more. He is small pox, and should be eradicated with extreme prejudice.
Putting a bluetooth accelerometer on the baton would be nice.
The least invasive solution would involve image processing, but I expect the specialized algorithm be finicky and I worry about frame rates.
One thing to consider is that people actually have fairly low voluntary reaction times, so a lot of the coordination may come from viewing the physical preparation for the stroke and not the stroke itself.
My mom, and many other users, have limited needs that google will more than cover, even when they make changes. They do this for a living, and seem pretty good at it.
I would probably find it too constraining for everyday use, but I've been using computers for a few decades now.
The point is having a relatively locked down device for my retired mom to use. Point, click, automatic updates, automatic backups of data, and relative immunity to hacks.
The overhwhelming majority of gun owners in the US want them for hunting and self defense - that is the purpose of the guns they buy, not "killing and maiming". Even when used against criminals, the most common usage is as a deterrent against the criminal, and not any "killing and maiming".
Even FDR was against unions for government workers.
"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations."

Sounds right to me. Protoype quickly. Don't worry about scaling. Get it out there and see if it works. If it does, then you worry about scalability.
I may be libertarian but I classify this as necessary infrastructure that will benefit the vast majority. Everything else is just more expensive.
Another libertarian who says the same. Roads, electrification, phones, and now internet. Not all libertarians are anarchists.

What should happen, at a minimum, is that your data gets packaged up and archived for maybe a hundred years, and then open sourced.
Basically, what a lot of historical people have always done with their personal papers.
The historical value of a lifetime of data for everyone who dies would be immense. And for fans of Caprica, maybe they'll bring "you" back.
Win7 was a huge step up in stability and speed compared to Vista.
Mine goes up to 11!
Nice.
Actually, I think I led earlier on with how ridiculous this was, since screaming kids are a bigger distraction than your phone.

Yes, we'd like him dead.

Right answer. Say "nice doggie" and reach for a stick out of sight.

I would think any french government secrets laws would apply to french citizens no matter where they are.
And who uses the "consulting companies"? Your local company. They use these "consulting companies" for their IT needs.
And in the meantime they bitch and moan about the lack of local talent.
Listen folks: business people are two faced liars. Anyone who defends them is the same.
Nope, not my "local company". Mostly it's the big guys that ARE NOT on the H1-B Top List: Microsoft, Google, IBM, others...
And government contract work, again through contract agencies. The Pimps, as I affectionately call them.
I'd be surprised if even 10% of the quota is filled with direct hire, H1B to Employer hires, with no mediating Pimp.
It's the worlds smallest violin, and it's playing just for you.
are you slaves?
uh huh.

Simpler and more secure has value.
Some do, some don't.
Is there something don't understand in the phrase "overwhelming majority of gun owners"?
Guns are icky, eww.

No. Probably less than most stations. It's just that their lies are different from the lies you're used to.
