What'd I'd like to know is how this effects Stream Ripping - I use StationRipper daily - originally 'cause I was tired of P2P and the lawsuits related to that. Seemed like a valid "fair use" way to record music. Like my Tivo.
Actually... does this mean Tivo is now going to get sued???
Well I, for one, just use a good
ripper to get all my music. Looks like WinAmp on the network, isn't traceable, is
legal (at least from a fair use perspective) and I get up to 2k new songs a day.
Screw the RIAA.
It was shown in Wargames, but it didn't "Come" from it. People had been doing it (and calling it that) for at least several years before.
This solution is interesting - I'm trying to get a WiFi network up locally to support a local AE beta. One of the concerns in starting a big WiFi project locally has been addressed by this artical.
While adding geo-information to web sites is interesting, I think the more compelling
technology is the location-aware technologies that are starting to come out.
Things like Vindigothat provide
that information ina package, or things like Geocache
and AnnotatedEarth that
provide a user-driven community of location information.
As the author says, Ultimately,
the logical conclusion of wireless graffiti systems would be the ability to
attach information to any object or place on earth with an accuracy of a meter
or less.
The challenge now is
to figure out how to best use those location-aware technologies, and some of
the things that can be done with the technology.
t just depends what you're using the GPS data for. For most
people in cars, it shouldn't be too bad (even though I can think of some times
when directions from my GPS came within seconds of when I was supposed to be
hitting a off ramp. That 100-300 meters would mean I missed it). If
you're using the GPS for location-aware technology, like AnnotatedEarth,
then you're more likely to have a problem (as that technology is all about
what's really close).
It'll be interested to see if they actually turn SA back on or not. And
if they do, will it be world-wide or can they really selectively turn regions
off? Of course, as you want to hit 3+ satellites at a time, that will
still effect a lot more that Iraqi. For example, right now Salman Pak
(Iraqi Bio-war site) can see:
