No this is more like handing someone your own personal business card with your home address on it, while discussing the fact that your keys are broken and you don't lock your own doors.
If they URL is unencrypted and easy to get at then it's public. think of the use this link to view this image buttons.
I doubt if it will ever be a remote imaging like a camera, but can you imagine a helmet version, combined with another version, allowing pilots to target another airplane just by focusing on that plane.
Stargate Atlantis's Puddle jumper neural interface just might become reality, well with a helmet. Focus your thoughts and the aircraft follows.
You see wars only cost money two ways. to pay for the troops, and to replace what you already pay for and used up. Missiles guns, bullets, etc fall into the last category. The USA stocked up for the cold war. Russian supplies got stolen and thinned out by arms dealers selling to countries around the world.
the only annoying part about aim integration into gmail other than having to have an account at both places, is that when I am using adium, and log into gmail I get an IM saying I am logged in twice.
Other than that it works very well. need to try out audio through it though.
your right. Now compare Minix and Linux. One has a license for you too look at the source code and the other one allows you to actually use the source code and ideas in it.
It's not Open Source until you can use it. BSD, MIT, Apache, GPL, allow you to actually use the code.
Vietnam and North Korea had weapons support from china. iran and North Korea wouldn't last three months on their own. Palenstine can't keep isreal out, let alone anyone else. I think you mean Pakistan. Pakistan would fight bravely and even win a few battles but would be overcome.
China,India, and Russia though would. Any fight with either is just stupid. We walked over Iraq, and afganistan because they didn't have weapon support from russia or China.
Iran may or may not have nukes. but it's airforce is rusted out f-14's that they don't have the parts to fly.
Try and take a good tactical look around sometime.
you forgot two other important differences. Weight, and toxic chemicals. Super capacitors are far cleaner and easier to dispose of later. Also the Chemical that make up large battery banks are very heavy. If you can shave 500 pounds off of a car just by removing the batteries and replacing them with equal sized super capacitors then your electric car will be a lot more efficient over the long haul.
Season 4 of BSG has been a long time in coming it starts in two or three weeks in the USA. sci-fi channel. Itunes usually carries it a few days later for download.
I have done both. I download the shows I otherwise missed. for $2 it isn't a bad deal and I still can watch them both full screen.
The workers's strike was eventually resolved by rotating jobs. The ore processor's got moved to other jobs in the fleet, and other people were brought in to fill in the gaps. Not idealistic but workable and it keeps people from getting bored and lazy in their work. It also makes the more stressful jobs easier to deal with.
It is how that episode finished up I do believe. Might have been the next.
So if you don't own a computer built in the last 8 years what are you doing on slashdot? Every single video chipset has it's own cooling system, every CPU since the Pentium's have had their own cooling fans. High RPM hard drives sometimes get their own fans, Power supplies get their own fans, Plus one giant slow moving fan for the rest of the case.
Every modern laptop has at least one fan built into it. Something tells me your either deaf and can't hear them, or you just haven't cracked up a case in a long while.
Actually that's the point with OOXML. people are tired of dealing with Windows Office formats. with OOXML no longer on the ISO fast track it will take it 2-3 years before it can be considered a standard. As such states, and countries that have recently passed data format standard requirements can't use it anymore. They will have to switch to something that does ODF.(Open Office, Staroffice, abiword, google doc, Lotus, etc)
MSFT Office has to use random convertors to do so. Slowly but surely that Office dominance will fade, severely cutting into 50% of MSFT profits. Once people don't need MS Office anymore, things like Windows also becomes optional.
Minor nitpick. Apple tried to make the OS everyone would want. it was called copland, it was a total an utter failure, behind schedule, and way over budget. Seeing how bad copland was turning out, Apple new something drastic had to be done so they first where going ot buy BeOS. but they wanted to much money, so instead they bought NeXt. With Next came steve jobs and the base of what became OS X.
Since then it has been little changes here and little changes there, completely changing how the system works a little at a time.
MSFT won't learn to do something drastic first, and start over.
MSFT has complied with that part of the order. It took MSFT 3 years to comply with other parts Like licensing CIFS/SMB to third parties without the cost overhead. That is how SAMBA got the file formats.
Because MSFT dragged their feet in complying they were fined some 2 million euros a day. This is that fine. this has nothing to do with windows media player as MSFT already took care of that part by releasing a media player free version of windows.
Also as a side effect this is 1.3 billion less dollars that MSFT will have to buy Yahoo with. Some 6% of the cash MSFT has on hand.
All those missiles, planes, and bombs just sit there in inventory as money already spent. It is replace those missiles, planes and bombs that gets expensive.
I look at it like this. The US military has just been clearing out old ordnance for the past few years. This will make more room for the fancy expensive missiles that are in this years budget.
what percentage of itunes tracks are available as drm free MP4's? I have only 3-4 songs left that are protected as i went in and found out most of mine were DRM less.
indeed with Amazon selling DRMless mp3's it is only a matter of time. Then again Apple's catalog is larger, and more current than Amazon's.

he will notice the lag in his internet connection though.
of course Nasa could always higher a comcast help desk monkey to put him on hold for a while.
It's too bad we are talking about Gordon Moore, and not steve Moore.
which I find odd as m intel Mac mini runs flash just fine.

the USA kept their cold war stock pile.

That's right Cheney and bush should go out Duck hunting together some time.
We get rid of them both.

have you seen pictures of his wife?
ever wonder why his daughters were always getting drunk?
they know the truth.
actually it's not. The previous version was from internal Microsoft memo's. This one is from Dell.
This means even the vendors putting Vista ?Ready sticker son computers knew those computes wouldn't run Vista all that well.

You should ACTUALLY watch the show.

what other reason would there be?
though things like this should be used more often. a low power heat pump to supply extra power. A few extra watts come in handy.
Can you imagine an Acer laptop that can partially recharge the battery while it's running? Or at the very least power the secondary fans.

Now are you getting ads or are you getting word of mouth advertising.
Companies pay for ads, word of mouth is free.
exactly. it costs money to BUY stuff.

how else does one get a cease and desist letter into orbit? On the tip of a missile, with the letter itself engraved upon a metal cylinder.

going to court and seeing jack thompson escape justice over and over again would definitely damage impressionable young minds.
