Look at the right one? You have no clue about off the shelf monitoring systems do you? The cameras will see the taggers coming over the fence, send text messages to the guards before they get near the trains, and show the guards the real time video right to their cell phone.
And who is going to be commanding that drone to "move a few feet"? The technology you suggest does not exist.
And even when it does, you will still be able to afford a thousand cameras for the price of one drone. And your drone, using any technology you can afford can stay up a couple hours at best, while your cameras can run 5 years with no maintenance.
Anything that speeds the demise of companies like Adobe, MS, Sony, Oracle & EA
Some people misbehave. So lets condemn all people.
There is simply not enough demand for some specialized software to support development a free software approach. Somebody has to feed, clothe and shelter the guy(s) taking 6 months of their lives to write, debug and test the code for your new air-stream continuous sample monitoring gizmo (or whatever).
not too many would continue forking out cash for MS Office if there are alternatives like Google Office (the LO or OO offices are certainly not ready for most office usage, although they're probably adequate for personal use).
[citation needed]
The number of companies what have switched entirely to LO and/or OO while continuing to run Windows is astounding. Its more than good enough to handle "most office usage". I know of entire companies that switched cold turkey, with servers full of MS Word/Excel documents. They had a problem with less than 50 documents out of hundreds of thousands dating back 20 years. Those that failed were old and broken MS Office spread sheets, which turned out to be broken in Excel as well.
LO gets document conversion correct far more often than Google Office.
The phrase "Certainly not ready" suggests your analysis is done to the same standards as the BSA.
Go look at the image. There is plenty of power on the light poles which are already in place.
And a wifi weather proof camera with remote tilt and pan, and built in motion and infrared detection and auto alarm triggering codts less than 200 on Amazon .
If you order it today you could prove to yourself by the weekend just how silly a drone is.
By the way, fully autonomous drones are military only and you don't get to fly them over cities.
If people knew you had a camera they would probably throw you down the stairs. That you have to go to lengths to disguise them simply proves how unwelcome they are. But hey, thanks for proving my point.
Vr works just fine without a camera. In fact a camera is the least reliable Vr instrument compared to the other sensors already built into the average cell phone.
And cost effective too compared to a less than $200 dollar pole mounted cameras. The more autonomous you try to make it the higher the cost. And when the vandals fling a chunk of dog chain at it, the total investment is lost.
When I walk into your store, you're already videotaping ME, why should you have a problem if I level the playing field?
Because the store isn't "casing" you for the planned robbery. The store isn't going to stuff your wallet down their pants and walk away.
There is really no point in arguing with people who can't see this difference, and justify everybody recording everybody else whenever they want just because its legal. Such people have already slipped over the edge of civil behavior. Your desire to be an ass really can't be justified by the fact that others engage in asshatery. Its something you've adopted all by yourself.
I generally agree, the LEDs are at best a giveaway that the clown wearing them is being a douche. Put them concentric with the lens and it would make them harder to destroy.
But most of all, I agree the device does not need a camera at all. With GPS and compass the device knows where you are and what you are looking at, even in the boondocks, so it could give you directions, show you near by stores and the nearest gas station, all without a camera.
1) It need not look any different than a normal pair of glasses. The version being show is a prototype, not a mass market version.
2) This is the main point I believe.
3) Having a Heads Up Display hasn't affected Aircraft pilots, and if done right, it won't affect drivers. You would see transparent information about speed and your next turn that would not interfere with driving.
4) Not really. Only when the new and different affects other people. Not seeing anyone mock a prosthesis for amputees
It is the always on, always front recording feature that bothers most people
To be fair, it isn't always on, but you can't tell when it is recording, or taking still shots. So the only defense is to ban them on private property, even public areas of private property.
I think that Glass has its place, but without the cameras.
Remember people walking around talking to themselves? Remember the "I'm not talking to you, I'm on the phone" hand gesture? It combined being rude with wearing a dorky looking apparatus. And that's what Google Glass is.
Yes, we all remember that, and it took exactly One exposure for people to realize that Bluetooth made a lot of sense in some situations, and didn't impact the privacy of others around the user.
When you whip out your camera and photograph my desk or back I am forewarned, and have time to rare back with the haymaker that will surely be your next experience. But there is no defense against people walking into your store, your office, your meeting wearing Google Glass.
Bluetooth affected only the wearer. The camera in google glass attempts to make everyone near it fair game.
We should demand "recording" LEDs indicating when cell phone cameras are on, and the same for Google Glass. Either that or remove the camera. 95% of everything Glass was designed to do can be done without the camera.
Or hire human guards. You know. Employing a few people to politely escort the kids out of the train station. I would do that job. Would have no problem detaining the ones that would not politely leave.
It doesn't happen in the train station.
Its actually when the trains are parked that they get spray painted. Some of this Graffiti are elaborate works of (misplaced) art, that take hours to apply.
Railroads are starting to fence off their switch and storage yards, and put cameras high up on polls, which makes far more sense than a drone. One guy can watch 50 cameras, but each drone takes a separate operator to fly and monitor.
But it largely worked on the trains. Nobody saw the graffiti, and the taggers went elsewhere.
I assume your argument is that we should have let them paint the train, in the vain hope that it wouldn't spread to buildings. Pretty short sited, in that graffiti on buildings preceded trains.
Well set out side of Germany and the stories told by Germans is all about how wonderful the German trains system are, and how advanced they are compared to anything else in the world, and how everyone could take a lesson from Germany.
I think you misunderstand how fracking works. Fracking works by pumping water into the earth. The water is typically not potable, because potable water is expensive.
Isn't one or the key ways of making water potable by filtering it through the ground?
Its not that the fracking water is impure it is that it is actually Fracking MUD, an intentional mix of water, chemicals, (bentonite and others), as well as propellants. It starts polluted.
But we have a molten core, and a very active one. The topic under discussion in this subthread concerns planets that might not have a molten core or a much smaller core.

Same problem with drones.
Besides, you can see people entering the yard, and that is all you need.

Cable? No WIFI in your world?
A couple of cameras can watch Acres of trains. (zoom in, there are antennas on top of those lamp poles.
Start adding up $200 cameras until you get to the price of a single drone. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Hahaha "recording" LEDs...ever heard of black electrical tape? or maybe even a black marker. that would fix your LED pretty quick
Yeah, because wearing a Google Glass isn't geeky enough, you are going to walk around with electrical tape on it.
I'm sure no one would notice.
Bullshit, stores don't care if your comparison shop. In fact many of them put free wifi in for their patrons.
There are no maintenance Bays that can accommodate an entire railway systems trains.
Look how many and how long. (And that's just a small part of the fleet).
New York City has an equally large problem and its only one city.
I'm wondering what people you spoke to.
German tourists in the US. Do you require names?

I don't think that's it at all.
Pull the camera out of this device and most objections disappear.
Having helpful information in your view plane could be great in certain situations.

Its odd that Eric Schmidt just a few days ago worried about Privacy in a world of Drones, yet his company is pushing a product to make everyone Google's Drone.
We should demand "recording" LEDs indicating when cell phone cameras are on, and the same for Google Glass.
Either that or remove the camera. 95% of everything Glass was designed to do can be done without the camera.
Tell you what, AC, go google the two words: fracking bentonite and see what you come up with.
Or hire human guards. You know. Employing a few people to politely escort the kids out of the train station. I would do that job. Would have no problem detaining the ones that would not politely leave.
It doesn't happen in the train station.
