When will these phone companies start to think about simplfying their phone product line. Make it at most 5 phones That way they can focus on support, better quality phones, etc.
What's scary is the apparent passivity among the denizens of UK regarding this. I have not read anything about a mass protest, organized groups to put in elected officials opposed to this, etc.
Seems the majority of the people over there are resigned to this type of watching. Shows that it will probably happen over here too as well as we copy from the Brits.
I doubt this is any different than people develop attachment to boats, airplanes, cars, etc.
I'll consider it a serious problem if they start dressing up the bots with wigs, lipstick, dresses, and taking them out dancing.
who's gonna sign up?
Probably people over at myspace, facebook etc with 1 or 2 "friends" in their network will flock over to wallops early so they can be 'friends' with each other and build up an impressive list.
then another company will set up another social networking site and the misfits from wallops will flock there and so on.
This is one of the consequences of having our Congress beholden to the corporations.
I know Congress will not take any serious action. If the VA fiasco have not prod them to actually act, nothing will.
Why do we need the MAINSTREAM MEDIA to "inform" us?
We need a better grassroots-based effort to get the message out that our CONgress is hopelessly out of touch and completely in the pockets of corporate masters.
http://unity08.com/ is one such example.
We need more efforts like this to get everyone organized and assemble to address our grievances towards our current government like the original Framers did.
But will the average American public care? That's the big question.
The sad part is not the fact the Gov't is doing this to us.
The sad part is the average American does not care about where our gov't is heading.
It will only get worse until they realize the Gov't is going too far in their zeal to stamp out drugs/terrorism/whatever. Hopefully it won't be too late.
or political maneuvering from telecos in the California Legislature to put an end to this?
I bet they will wait until Google/Earthlink nears completion - then they will try to pull the rug and take over themselves.
why don't the gov't of Canada support it with monies and in return get good software for their computer systems throughout the government network?
What about the universities such as the university in Calgary? Perhaps set up some sort of network security program and use openBSD as the model and provide some support?
Just throwing out some ideas.
Look at Brazil and how they are dealing with the oil issue.
This is something we should have emulated a long time ago - have engines that can switch between gas and ethanol derived from sugar/corn.
Why is this country so anti-teenager?
We got the "coveted marketing demographics" of late teen to young adult that the tv networks and pretty much a lot of companies go for.
Yet as a group, teenagers sure are very ostracized, looked down, and picked on. I'm sure there are some bad seeds but for the vast majority, I'm sure there are good kids.
You got all these anti-cruising laws, school crackdowns, and now this.
Shouldn't we be cherishing and nuturing them instead?
I'm sure the Army would like to use this device to get them shepherded to the nearest recuriting office.
kinda like climing mt everest

i mean what's the point if you are not a climber or a geologist. But they got the money to burn and want the "label" of having been there.
More power to them - and same for these "flight participants" regardless if they just float around or do some little "fun" experiments.
Perhaps in the future we would have these floating hotels in space and we would get up there via Charlie's Glass elevator.
It's 2005.
The deaf have it easy now such as closed captioning, video relay service, emails, etc.
So join us you hearing heathens and we as the deaf community can be ONE!
wonder if this show is captioned for the deaf and those who work out in the gym?
Would be neat if this is captioned as there were a lot of us deaf people running bbs back then as well.
specialized thin gloves equipped with bluetooth.
That way you can use your hands to move the ball around, act as a mouse, etc.
Are there any like this out there?
American Memory
I do believe the French are trying to do the same but it's a matter of funding.
I don't see it as an attack on Google but perhaps the wording got lost in translation?
Slashdot Mirror
How many is Tmobile offering? 50? 100?

If you look closely at the cat in the picture
You can see the cat looks desperate to get out of the house and away from the crazy lady.
Perhaps we should band up and conduct a rescue raid.

Is there a list of companies under the CRIA?

will these videos be captioned or retain original captioning from the tv broadcasts somehow?
