I seriously doubt it. While I wouldn't say impossible, I would say it's highly highly unlikely. Besides, wouldn't you want this reward? I don't know about you, but I could use the 25 mil bounty! Fat chance though. I'd get waxed by his loyal followers before I even got within visual range.
So when are we going to get one of those? Give it a few solar panels and some fat-ass capacitors, it wouldn't be hard to do. I'm sure the satcom devision in our military would LOVE to perform an assassination on Bin Laden with this.
Talk to the Chinese in Shanghai sometime. They are PISSED at their government for not raising the value of the Yuan. Yes, your bitter but they are truely pissed thanks to the corruption that goes on in the CCP.
More to the point. I'm suprised they havn't been bought out by MS for the sole purpose of patent acquisition.

Don't worry, even the prez will be happy if you can by Google brand gasoline. Remember, Google can adapt to all markets.....please, spare me this article Slashdot
That is narrow, not insightful... You would think you have to be American to burn gas/oil with that statement. I would be willing to bet serously that the per capita consumption of oil/gas products in China is far lower than that of the US.
He/She didn't say that, so stop throwing around hyperbole! The parent is pointing out a simple fact. That is to say, there are too many hands in the pie and not enough to go around. As a result of market forces, expect the price to continue upward.
It happened to me also when I owned a Nokia 6120 and placed it on my PC desk. Of course my the speaker wires were not a twisted pair and totally unshilded. Typical for PC speakers.
Venus doesn't have oceans. If they did, granted they boiled away. However here on Earth, the climate is self regulating. The warmer it gets, the more clouds we have. The more clouds we have, the more it reflect sunlight thus dropping the temperature.
As for the whole global warming... Well, it's not that it's "bad" per say, it's just that we really don't know WHAT will happen. We do know that plant life, pond scum, algae and the like thrive off CO2 releasing O2 as a by product. Basically, CO2 will eventually get locked up back into plant/animal life along with shale.
Basically, global warming is going to suck for us, but make no mistake about it. Life that thrives off CO2 in a tropical enviroment will have a feast like none other before it!!! Question is, how long will it take to re-absorbe all the CO2 we unlocked from crude oil?
Damn right! I've personally fucked myself with MapQuest. Two things happend to me while driving to a clients house plotted with MQ.
1. Took the shortest path that cross a bridge over a bayou. Problem: the bridge hasn't even been fucking built yet. The road was closed off. Worse yet, it didn't look like a bridge would ever be built from the looks of it.
2. Driving to a new residential area. Problem: Road that was supposed to continue on but was instead turned into a Cul de sac.
Yes, ALL freeloaders. Corporation, or citizens...makes no difference to me. While were at it, get rid of the IRS. It's a bloated orginization whos only purpose is to provide a means of architecting society. Such an orginization provides *power* to the politicians in office to get re-elected.
If that's the case, then why isn't the local state government running the telco industry? I'm not in favor of this, but that would be the next logical step...would it not?
Maybe if New Orleans would put an end to socialism, those that are "poor" would get off their ass and find a fucking job. I hate freeloaders. When you have communism/socialism, you have a world of fucking bums.
I predicted this! I said that all of those "poor" people would scatter around to the 50 states and NEVER come back. Why? Because now they found a job, are productive, and have meaning in their lives. They are happy, productive members of society. This storm was the kick in the ass they needed to bootstrap their lives into motion.
Government appropriates. Telecoms lobby. WiFi users steal
Except for one thing. Guess who provides the fiber backbone that those wireless routers attach too?
Think "Telcom"
Unless your paying for the bandwidth, the users shouldn't bitch when the access becomes saturated because the telcos arn't getting their cut of profit for the fiber THEY layed.
I'm sorry, but I cry BS on this technology. No fucking way will these things replace your standard fair of nuts and bolts in cars. Why you might ask? It's simple. It's called torque ratings. Also, if I'm still having to use a breaker bar when working under the hood, what makes anyone think these remote controlled "fasteners" will work themselves loose?

If your IP address changes that often, then the service is WORTHLESS. When transferring files, the change of an IP address will kill my transmission. Oh, and you can forget about online gaming.
Service like this would be like owning a Ferrari, except your getting stuck at each red light intersection in New York.

Or if not, look on the bright side. You can still buy guns at Wal-Mart and go for the ultimate grand theft auto experience.

Anyone want to bet information of local politicians have been exempt from this? Hmmm? Anyone?
Remember young padawan, necessity is the mother of innovation.
That's kind of the whole falacy with the globalization raising everyone'sstandard of living.
Wrong again young padawan! There's something called a local economy. Every nation has one.

Seems to be happening with Linksys too (WRT54GS). I can't get my router to update my account and I'm using the latest firmware. :(
Lucent made chips that get stamped on PCBs by OEMs to make winmodems. I don't think Lucent actually has their own brand either.
