The only logical answer is to start shipping seniors into one way space missions. The zero gravity will make it easier for them to move around, and that will reduce the need for social security. Beats wasting away in an old age home and waiting for Bubba Ho-Tep
Why? Well the parents will be more inclined to leave a tagged child on his / her own because he / she can be tracked. As a consequence there are more separated children within the park. Even an unsophisticated abducter could just grab a random lone child and make a beeline for the exit - once out the park the RFID is no good. A smarter abductor would remove the RFID tag first. A smarter one yet might use the RFID to find out the where the parents were in order to avoid them before discarding it.
I couldn't agree more. The first thing I thought when I read this is that sure it seems safe, but all someone has to do is wrap your kid in tin foil before you exit the park.
On a more serious note though, it would seem that by offering these services they are possibly making themselves liable if an abduction does happen. I mean before they could argue, look we just let people in the park. Now some lawyer could argue that they should have known that when a child of age X suddenly wandered away from his group that all was not well.
So... Let me get this straight... The problem these guys have is that they are using PC to connect to, and send data on, Internet2?
That's right using Windows Server 2003 64Bit edition. Imagine if this did come to everyone in the US last mile. A spammers wet dream. CPU's would run at 100% just filtering mail from grandma's spam relay.
I didn't see any mention of it in the articles. Was this just a unorganized mass of data, or were they actually sending file of some sort?
It's pretty incredible, but does this mean that the filesystem is now the bottleneck? Is this transfer speed at the hardware level, or actual packet data?
They named themselves "Mister Sinus Theater 3000" and do the same skit with adult humor.
Mister Sinus Theater 3000 sounds almost exactly like Mystery Science Theater 3000 when said out loud. No one is going to confuse Muppets in Space since they aren't similar to the trademark.
Did they also put their whole project into a microchip that connects to a modem and can figure out the username and password of any system no matter what it is from a generic login prompt?
I hope people start making better movies soon. I don't want to see I,Robot come true.

They have been losing a single purpose. They used to make software. Now this multi billion dollar company makes software, hardware, phones, operating systems, office suites, video games, DRM systems, media codecs, webTv systems and who knows what else. They decided to start over and compete with Google in the search engine market, and they are losing money keeping XBOX alive.
With all those irons in the fire I'm not surprised that there is slowed development. Perhaps they are just covering all their bases in case FOSS really does end up killing their cash cow.
The problem with meta-tags is that they have to get populated somehow. Only the anal fill in meta-data, everyone else either blows it off or takes the defaults.
The real breakthrough happens when the system can decode and parse the file accurately to provide "automagic" meta-data. Otherwise meta-tags are a nice academic exercise that is either ignored or misused in practice. You mean like scanning movies for flesh tones? Will WinFS really be able to detect Anal too? I can see why that's worth waiting for.
In quantum teleportation, complete information about the quantum state of a particle is instantaneously transferred by the sender, who is usually called Alice, to a receiver called Bob.
Bob & Alice are giving & recieving, but to observe them or measure them normally would cause change their state, so you have to ask their entangled partners Ted & Carol about how they move or their measurements. These kinky physicists have figured out a way to get 5 way entanglment that is stable where Bob & Alice don't mind being observed or measured.
So now physics stories use Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice & Horst, and you have to use your Adult Check ID before you can read the physics journals.
NES only had a 256x240 pixel screen. Blowing it up to theater size would have been almost painful to watch. Newer consoles and games like HALO four player could really benefit from this. I think this has a good chance of taking off.
Don't worry, they thought of that. The games don't start until midnight. Plenty of time to leave the house to play for hours and come back without any chance of a tan.
To be clear, I was talking about knowledge transfer that in and of itself is not a bad thing. When the point of it is to train your own replacement, that's a bad thing. If they want to learn, let them go to school or whatever. Ignore that sentence.
The point is there is no net gain in employment in the US so his story doesn't work.
Your argument still doesn't suggest a benefit to the US. First they are poor so they will work for less or under worse conditions. We let them. They make money and learn our jobs. They do the same thing cheaper. Then they make money and can buy things. All is well.
Except why would they buy from the US? If it's cheaper for us to buy from them, why would they buy from us? This is the part of the puzzle I've never seen answered in any of these articles.
The money is bleeding out of the country, and I don't see it coming back any time soon unless things equalize and we've got a hell of a long way to fall to reach India/China levels per capita.

Anyone got a JPEG out there that will install this patch for me?

It refers to weight. The prize is payable only in quarters.

If the photons are entangled, then wouldn't the effects of reading the observer photon be transferred back to the original hidden particle?
I would guess not since they say this works, but how can entangling quantum particles be a one way thing?
Could people in China use it? Or could I use it to watch the olympics online if I live in the US?

Ah yes, the programmers finest defense. Blame the Hardware. :o)
Ah yes, that explains our booming luxury steel and textiles markets. History anyone?

So now you have your new job, but you have to move overseas to train people, and there are 5 or 6 guys in Taiwan with new jobs.
So how are there move jobs back in the US? Must be less competition for jobs because there is one less you. Makes perfect sense.
It's called knowledge transfer. You teach them your job, then you let them have it. Glad it's working out for you.
This seems like common sense. Shouldn't all network admins be doing this anyway?
Yes of course. You should spend an hour a day in silent contemplation of the "The Spinning Cube of Potential Doom".
BTW, If you think common sense is common, your sample size is to small.
