In the US you could be arrested, put in jail, released on bail (if you can afford thousands of dollars) whenever the judge sets your bail (next business day, so you might be there the weekend), and then when you go to the hearing you could bring the email or letter showing proof you didn't know. If you can't afford bail then you sit in jail for several weeks until the hearing.
of course all of this depends on if the cop wants to arrest you or not, he could just write a ticket if he wants to be nice.
SMS and email? Really? That's their notification method for letting me know that my main payment source for everything has been cancelled? Seems like this should be handled better, perhaps letters and phone calls would be more appropriate for something this important.
Actually it seems she didn't find anything: "Ms Fraser-McKelvie said the ‘Eureka moment’ came when Dr Lazendic-Galloway closely examined the data they had collected. “Using her expert knowledge in the X-ray astronomy field, Jasmina (Dr Lazendic-Galloway) re-analyzed our results to find that we had in fact detected the filaments in the results, where previously we believed we had not.”"
So the student found nothing, it wasn't until an expert looked at it and actually found the mass.
So I guess it depends on your perspective as to if the student found it or not. If you're throwing out a bunch of "junk" and an expert goes through it and discovers a priceless artifact does that mean you discovered it or did the expert?
"Your new TV set contains a computer that performs the functions provided by the external box... Soon, all TVs being sold will be able to do that. The boxes will exist only for people who want the function without buying a new TV."
True, but that's like saying DVD and Blu-Ray players are no longer necessary because you can buy a TV with a DVD or BD player built-in.
I have a HDTV with built-in DVD player but I still have a DVD player connected to it because built-in DVD players have always been junk in my experience.
You are correct, but only because these streaming features are now expected from Blu-Ray players and modern game consoles. Streaming was new when this generation of game consoles came out in 2006, before Hulu existed and Netflix began offering streaming, I have a feeling next generation consoles will do a much better job of streaming.
Consumers will not spend $100-$300 on a streaming media player when their next gen game console already streams everything they could want and offers mature hardware and software that is updated often by major manufactures like Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony.
I expect sales of streaming media players to remain strong for the next few years until new game systems are released and sales will eventually taper off and cease when the game systems become cheaper than the media players.
"Most video cards cap out at 2560x1600 per output, hard drives can be put in a RAID and solid state drives are damn fast, but the file sizes for videos at that resolution are absurd."
A good rule to follow is to never compare the hardware you're using now to what you'll be using 10 years from now. I have no doubt we'll have CPUs with hundreds of cores and SSDs (or whatever they're called by then) that are several terabytes and transfer data at gigabytes per second. Remember, largest hard drive in 2001 was 100gb for $300which could be read at an amazing 26 megabyte/second!
You're kidding, right? This is allowing us to play all those games from our youth without them looking like blocks at 1080 HD. If anything this is helping the past, no longer will they need to release a "remake", they can re-release the original with this algorithm attached and they're done.
Besides, do you think 1080 HD will be the resolution of choice 20-40 years from now? I imagine we'll be looking at wall-sized TVs at some point and 1080 pixels will look awfully blocky on a 10 foot wall. Sharp has already released a 7x680 x 4,320 pixel 85-inch screen, how long before 4320 is the new 1080?
If you really want to go cheap pick up a 808 keychain camera. Takes excellent video, it's as small as a car keyless entry remote and it's less than $10
"Are you telling me that cheap gossip like extra-marital affairs of pro footballers will have to be leaked through wikileaks in the future?"
I'm less concerned about cheating football players and more concerned with overthrowingcorrupt governments. Can a corrupt judge in a corrupt government simply say "don't talk about revolution" and Twitter will simply roll over and play dead? How would the Egyptian and Tunisia revolutions gone without the communication that Twitter provided?
A boring one. Also did you notice they were going to universities? FTA: "The day before we rolled into Grant, Yanega and I visited the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where we met with undergraduates and lectured to both university and public audiences."
Really? They needed to teach evolution at universities too? I mean I can understand some little backwards high school somewhere believing creationism, but universities need help too?
Also remember anything that happens on a work network belongs to them.
So yes, if you login to facebook from the work network then they can watch what you're saying and doing and can very well fire you for what you're doing or saying on facebook while on the work network. Not only that but your work could argue that the content of your laptop connected to their network is now their property, so they might just go through all your photos and any *other* interesting media stored on your laptop.
Better idea: stick with 3G coverage. If you can't get coverage in the building then live without facebook until lunch. No one needs facebook every second.
My old job allowed us to bring our own laptops in but we couldn't access their network, we used 3G USB adaptors.
Depends on the contractor. If it's an independent contractor than yes you can sue them, they are responsible for their own actions, but companies are not suppose to take taxes out of the pay of independent contractors either and if Apple is taking taxes then that would make them employees
But it still works great, Netflix and Hulu work perfectly through PlayON. When prices of modern hardware drop low enough and there is enough HD only content that I can no longer find media then I will replace it, but why fix what isn't broken? Just because it's 10 years old doesn't mean it's trash.
And Fujitsu has been making ultramobile PCs for years, the u810 came out in 2007. I have a 2 lbs Fujitsu UMPC running Windows 7 with a 9" touchscreen at 1280x768. It's worth about $200 used.
"At $6 a gallon, 20mpg is going to cost you $30,000.00 in gas over 100,000 miles. At 40mpg you save $15,000.00"
Very true. In less than 10 years the gas prices in the US have tripled, going from ~$1.33 in 2001 to $4/gal in 2011. At this rate we'll all be paying $9/gal by 2021. Don't think we'll get there? Did anyone really think we'd see $4/gal so fast? I don't know about you but my income didn't triple within the last 10 years.
I think we all need to start buying our cars with the idea that gas will be $9/gal very soon in the US because it's going to be here before you know it and our incomes are not going to match those prices. Screw the Explorer, get a Prius with a trailer hitch. Toyota will tell you no to sell more trucks but Prius owners say they've towed 2,000 lbs without problems.
"Totally wrong. You can always throw in more ram at a later date, and it will probably cost less to replace all of it than the cost of the "upgrade" today. Upgrading ram on a laptop is even easier than on a desktop, while a cpu upgrade... forget it. And you'll always find takers for your old ram."
^----- THIS. IF they would have said RAM vs ANYTHING five years ago I would have gone RAM, but now days you almost can't buy a computer or laptop with less than 2gb which is more than enough for 99% of user. CPU on the other hand... they're still pumping out dual core PCs and even single core Atom powered laptops that struggle just to play a Youtube video in HD. That's not what you want to be stuck with a few years from now, especially when that expensive extra 2 or 4gb RAM upgrade in 2011 is only $20 in 2013.
Any idiot can upgrade RAM in a minute, but upgrading a CPU often requires an entirely new motherboard. I'd recommend people to go with faster CPU over RAM in 2011.

No. Only point was for programs that did timing based on cpu clock, so you'd need to slow down the PC to use them. I remember several games that would run too fast if the turbo button was pressed.

"Most video cards cap out at 2560x1600 per output, hard drives can be put in a RAID and solid state drives are damn fast, but the file sizes for videos at that resolution are absurd."
And 15 years ago a video card capable of 1920x1080 didn't even exist to consumers. In fact in 1996 the first consumer 3D gaming solution was released with an amazing 4 megabytes of RAM!
A good rule to follow is to never compare the hardware you're using now to what you'll be using 10 years from now. I have no doubt we'll have CPUs with hundreds of cores and SSDs (or whatever they're called by then) that are several terabytes and transfer data at gigabytes per second.

"Don't have a ready UAV? EPFL has spun off another startup that makes an inexpensive drone. Called the senseFly, "
senseFly.com is selling something they call the swinglet CAM, a cheap looking Toys-R-Us RC plane that the want an astounding $10,000 for (so much for "on the cheap" like the article said!).
I recommend this guy and his $100 camera. The results speak for themselves
If you really want to go cheap pick up a 808 keychain camera. Takes excellent video, it's as small as a car keyless entry remote and it's less than $10

Looks like we need a replacement for twitter.

Since Chakotay's face tattoo pre-dates Tyson's by about 8 years doesn't that mean Warner Bros is off the hook?

As a XBMC Xbox owner, I agree.
But it still works great, Netflix and Hulu work perfectly through PlayON. When prices of modern hardware drop low enough and there is enough HD only content that I can no longer find media then I will replace it, but why fix what isn't broken? Just because it's 10 years old doesn't mean it's trash.
XBMC4XBOX works with Hulu and Netflix using PlayON, it's not just for pirated media.
Got a what?

My point is the same: The UMPC u810 came out in 2007, so why is it suddenly news again?
UMPCs are smaller than subnotebooks, have a display measuring 12.7cm to 17.8cm (5 to 7 inches), and are operated like tablet PCs using a touchscreen or stylus. Although it lists the lower limit to the screen being 5" there are examples on that page of UMPCs with screens as small as 4".
"The device is made by Fujitsu "
And Fujitsu has been making ultramobile PCs for years, the u810 came out in 2007. I have a 2 lbs Fujitsu UMPC running Windows 7 with a 9" touchscreen at 1280x768. It's worth about $200 used.
How is this newsworthy?
