Surely that depends on whether the routers are legally mandated to restrict propogation on such coding. Sure, it'll break path redundancy, but that's what you get when you regionalize the Internet.
And also great story can't overcome a bad game interface. I don't think any game could overcome a flaw like: "The auto-aiming on the dual-gun system was so bad, it was as if I was watching a homicidal semaphore session."
Unless, I guess, there was a way you could have a great story in a game named Homicidal Semaphore.
And then what would be next, a FPS with an aldis lamp? Oh right, they already did that and called it Doom 3.
I've thought along similar lines, except that you install a trackball in the armrest of the chair which you roll with your elbow while keeping your fingers on the keyboard. Clicking can be done at the keyboard similar to the trackpad mouse buttons on laptops.
what about the time it takes the image to be looked up in the database? i'm sure that would take it more time to verify...
That's less important to them than to record images of everyone who flies. Gather the data first, worry about mining that data to find a patsy^Wsuspect later.
Consider this scanner at the gates of a sporting event. You have all these people de^H^Hcontained for long enough to run them all through as many databases you want. Its doubtful their faces will change greatly during the course of the game, so you locate them again using in-stadium cameras for special attention. Failing that, there are also cameras at the exit gates.
All it really is is the reverse of those electronic coasters they give you when you're waiting for a seat in a busy restaurant. When a table becomes available, they activate the coaster and it blinks and buzzes and you return to be led to your table. The restaurant uses it to find you in an unsorted crowd just like you use it to find the book.
Extremely large collections spanning multiple rooms might want to augment with automatic lights that turn on when they detect the frequency of light emitted by a nearby LED and/or sonic signal. Part of the design is that not even the computer needs to know where the book is, so you don't need to tell it. The user has to find the book anyway to read it, so you leave the task of locating it to him. It only needs the tag-to-book association, and barcode scanning can handle most modern books (some data entry would be needed to associate older and rebound books).
There are other benefits, too. Once you have your big wall of books all tagged with the devices, you can program your computer to signal them in any pattern you want and reenact the end of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Just to test that all the tags are still working of course.
Of course, there are other fun applications to variations of the idea as well: RFID-implanted students need not respond to roll call, and coupled with electrodes you can find a specific child on the playground by his paroxysms as he goes flying off the swing set with a touch of a button as he approaches apogee.
you will still have to put them in some sort of order on the shelf.
So attach RFID tags with LEDs and little piezo speakers to the spine of every book as you record them in the computer. Then when you look up the book on the computer, it sends a signal, and the book's tag responds by blinking and beeping. The sound will lead you to the general location in the library and the flashing to the specific book. Maybe not for a public collection, but perfect for a personal one. Just a small adjustible clamp to put over the top spine corner.
Then not only do you not have to sort them on the shelf, you also don't need to shift your collection over all the shelves to make room for new books; just keep them on the shelf in rough acquisition order. (Sorting by book dimensions is the most practical method for a large collection anyway, making the most economical use of shelf space.)
The official comment period has passed, but hearings will be held this month.

And now that hard disks dropped to about $0.20 on the gig
Occasionally they can be found at $0.10 per GB. That's the lowest I've seen (after rebates and a coupon). I'm finding it easier to talk about the price in the reciprocal: 10 GB per dollar.
Getting a HD player to read from them though is another matter. The DRM will probably prevent you from just swapping the drive with a hard drive.
They are measuring the light generated from the event itself. Isn't that the same as seeing it?;)
But if we're a part of the universe created by that event, and nothing travels faster than the speed of light, then how did we get here before the light from that event got here? If we're seeing it via reflections, how did what it's reflecting off of get out there ahead of it?
Yeah, I was talking about component output in the plural (three connectors).
it is a new shortcoming. Most mid-level DVD players offer resolution upscaling across their component video or RGBHV interfaces. However, I can see how some lower end players would leave out this feature to keep the cost of their HD analog interface circuitry down.
Well, good to know that my 400-disc changer is considered a lower-end player. And yes, it is a Sony, the model that includes HDMI output.
The point though is why bother restricting upconverted video when the standard video is rippable and can be upconverted independently of the player? What do they think they're protecting?
Are they afraid of being seen as contributory infringers if they put upconverted-to-HD SD-source material on component outputs in a market where there are no devices that can record HD from component out?
The only reason I can see is that HDMI patent licensing terms demand that component video be barred from outputting any resolution greater than 480p in order to drive adoption of HDMI-compliant devices (which IMO would be anti-competitive). But that would mean Sony would need to negotiate an exemption for their Blu-Ray players.
So, pornography is just fine, but seeing an episode of T.V. that happens to make an allusion to sex is simply too much?
Know what's next? Fines for broadcasting the words "frack" and "frell" as they will be seen as patently offensive substitute terms for sexual activities.
Hey, if a 12-year-old boy can be charged with a felony of "possession of a lookalike drug" in a school (which was a bag of powdered sugar for a science project), then the above isn't unlikely.
It amazes me that the current standard DVD players that are capable of upconversion to HD resolutions still refuse to do so on their analog outputs, only supporting it on the HDMI output. It isn't as if people couldn't rip SD-DVDs to their computers and perform their own upconversions to HD resolution; there just doesn't seem to be a demand for software that can do it. So where's the anti-piracy rationale for restricting the SD-DVD players from upconverting?
But unless they can be absolutely sure the source code provided is complete or unless they plan to recompile the known code that they can trust and overwrite the current version installed on every piece of equipment, they are going to end up having to trust them (the US) just as much as if the source code isn't given up to begin with.
They'd have to be sure that they can trust their own compiler not to have self-replicating code injecting a backdoorf into the binaries just as they can't trust a US-provided compiler that may do the same.
And then there's also whether you trust the hardware the code runs on not to do the same with creative interpretation of the object code regardless of the compiler used, which could be hidden in a number of locations.
If it is a matter of trust, then they need to ask for more than just software; they need the fabrication details of every component to allow them to manufacture the entire system, giving them end-to-end security, even to the point of fabbing every chip themselves in facilities they also control from beginning to end.
It's easier just to trust and be ready to exact consequences for any breach.
Now I have two machines sharing data over the network. That's the proper solution, unless you lack funds for a small x86 system.
Why do swiss army knives sell?
Having two OS available in a single portable laptop or BYODKM-box(*) where you may not always have a network by which to connect to another machine is the point. It reduces your burden of having to carry two expensive laptops.

What is the point of this question? Who wants to regionalize the Internet? I don't get why this question is even being asked.
You don't need to know who wants to region-code IP packets. These aren't the droids you're looking for. You can go about your business. Move along.
I actually got a different pen mouse for my brother for Christmas (he wanted a pen-based mouse). I should ask him how well it is working for him.
