Some of the gun regulations they have proposed though have been far from sensible. In many cases a squirt gun(you know that shoots water at less pressure than your sink) could be built to fail them requiring regulation for it.
Assault weapon bans are bans on things that look like Assault rifles but aren't. As for who gets guns we have tons of laws already but it is such a mishmash that it can be bypassed. Sort of like how the companies can bypass the IRS taxes by shuffling money around.
If you are typing that line into your phone then you have issues. if you need to do something like that you need a new interface just because the phone can show 80 characters doesn't mean it is a good replacement for a terminal window.
The F-16 was overpriced for its time. The F-15 took years to work out the bugs. The f-16 was designedin the 70's. Continuing to use70's tech is stupid. Do you still drive a 70's car?
Then why do employer not want to give up health insurance and let everyone get health insurance like they get car insurance? What about 401k's?
The thing is if employers want the duty to just pay you for services, then they should get out of everything that does not involve work.
But employers are the ones who object strongly making health insurance act like every other form of insurance. employers like the extra their employees pay them every year.
It gets better, in 2 months Scotland votes to decide if it wants to leave the UK. does anyone think that a site will be chosen that might suddenly no longer be part of the UK?
If you forget your phone in your car, then you need a built in headset for your car so the phone can stay in your pocket.
Why would a watch know where your kids are? in order for that to work each child would need to be tagged like an animal. Also if you can't track kids at a playground please stop breeding. It isn't that difficult, I watch my nieces on a regular basis at the playground, and they tag team to make certain they can get away with stuff.
The mic on your watch won't give you better audio than pulling your phone out of your pocket.
remote camera control that is a decent idea. except that the display is tiny, won't show everything, and you have to be looking at your watch to press the button unless they use the whole screen for the take a picture button.
I always consider that things are beyond what I can dream about. In the last 30 years watches have faded away for many. Now they are as much jewelry as practical. You can't have a good looking smart watch. even the few that let you replace the bands with something more comfortable than stiff plastic are bulky. Now give me smart watch that is about as wide as my thumb, that shows me the time all the time. have it use a micro projector to push the image on to my forearm, and a laser projector to pick up where I am touching. That will take off.
But when dealing with a smart watch you aren't hitting a button. you need to tap a screen 3-4 times in the correct place while running to adjust one feature.
Strap your smartphone to your wrist and try to adjust the songs, now cut the screen size way down and try again. it is a lot harder.
And now a self guiding bullet. Next thing you know they will scale the XM 25 down to fifty caliber rounds that explode at set at the time of fire distances.
People keep praising Ron Paul yet everything I have ever seen on his actual policies scare me more than Cheney working with Obama to create what laws should be enforced.
Paul recent budget had a net increase in spending and a net reduction in income.
You can't be a fiscal conservative and not decrease spending
Actually last I looked my mothers job used it. it integrated into the rest of their software package so that addresses and route planning could be done easy.
Not sure if they currently can use it but since bing maps like google maps requires internet connections probably not. Not every where they travel have 2G service let alone 3G.
What gets me is why doesn't google or bing maps have an offline mode?Cache a couple of states or even just counties.
Not yet. This was the first step in declaring the need for a much much larger budget. as every app will need to be tested and certified with qualified people and testing could take as little as 12 months.
Ah but such machines are at best a short term threat. a machine that can't see beyond what it is told also can't see how cutting the building power supply shuts it off just as effectively as turning off the power switch.
if you think a self driving car is an AI then you know nothing about intelligence.
A self driving car is about as smart as a worker ant. it can move around obstacles, it can move heavy loads(like a fat arse). It has taken 50 years for computers to replicate an ant. And to do it we need 100,000 times the power requirements. Oh sure the self driving car follows GPS instead of sent trails. but no self driving car can follow a trail that doesn't exist.

Which is where this is going.
Upload the mount to Amazon they print and ship it to you.
It is still more expensive than the mass produced items. But it is comparable to the one off customs

It would be easier to build a ring around the earth. Bonus is that the vacuum can easily be established

the problem is you fire someone and those alerts and reminders and tracking spreadsheets are lost in the change over.

Ah so that's how they light up modern see through cases.
They use vacuum tubes in the sound cards to light up the motherboards.
And in a day someone will have built it.
while not a bad concept, just remember android wearables have at best a 36 hour battery life.
It is the screen and battery size that are killing these things.
True but it will cut Americas Carbon foot print and global warming by 98.6%

Data blows

nope but Gummy bears can fool the iPhone sensor. even better the smooth surfaces provide several finger prints to pull from.
Even better. We are starting to replace PHB's who know next to nothing bit are still in charge.
I can't wait until we can replace lawyers with an abacus and a cukoo-clock.

for the FDA that is amazing.
Yes but your wife isn't using directed electrical signals to shut you down.

completely different method. Definitely worth a separate patent.
That's right
it has taken 30 years of doubling the computing power every 18 months to make a computer that can think like an ant.
In another 30 years we might get it up to a salmon.
Maybe in one or two hundred years we will have made computer smart enough to equal a dog. and then you can start to worry.

You should see how airbus builds their planes.
In Europe not all the tunnels for trains are big enough for the pieces. So they use barges, and one big ass jet.
in 15-20 years Europe will pass America for Fatness.
Europe's one main advantage is you can actually take public transportation and walk to get to places.
Even that is not going to be enough.
