Wow. The discussion mentioned the TRS-80, a Barbie laptop toy, and the Apple iPad. Referring to "the Apple" clearly, and without any doubt (to most, it seems), refers to the Apple iPad, as that's what's being discussed.
And that won't just fix trade deficits, but ease rampant immigration issues, and mitigate the likelihood of conflicts. Happy people are less likely to move somewhere else, or start fights.
It's both. In GMail they used to (I don't know about now) use the iframe method. If you check out their video searches, however, you'll see they use the # method. Both are pretty good, and far less clumsily-implemented than this demonstration. I'm not knocking the guy, but it's very existence is somewhat strange, akin to someone pointing out how blink tags and animated gifs are cool. Strangely anachronistic:)
They aren't actually connecting to the network - they are simply recording the lat/long of the MACs of wireless network access points. Most likely so they can use that information in their mapping endeavours, where a device without GPS, but with WiFi, can see the MAC addresses of various APs around them, and send them to Google, which in turn sends back a rough lat/long. They are not scanning the network contents, nor do they know whatever Google users are using the network. They don't even know the public IP address of the access point (if it has one). They are simply recording information that your base station is openly broadcasting in a public space. I have no idea how your post is insightful - it reeks of paranoid knee-jerk reaction.
Really? Well, it's common for counterfeit note detectors to accurately measure the size of a note, its reflective index under UV or IR light, check for any required magnetic ink/codes, etc., all in under half a second (very popular ones in under 0.2 seconds). I doubt any human can do that. The machines that are commonly used also tally up the number of notes it has checked, and their denomination, for book-keeping to aid the merchant. The machines can be updated, too, so if a new note becomes legal tender, the devices can instantly tell whether it's real or not. No more cashiers scratching their heads at a new design, or calling the cops when you want to buy a pack of cigarettes with a "funny-looking bill" you got from a bank ATM that morning.
I've been living in Germany for 3 years, and I never carry my passport. Heck, the only thing in my wallet with my name on it is a health insurance card. I've spoken to the police a lot (reported a crime, got a ride home on new year's day for being on the tram without a ticket (I had one - long story)), and they never gave me any hassle for not having my ID with me. But then I'm white, so who knows.
If you can't figure out how to make your coins not jingle in your pocket, or not scratch your cellphone, you have bigger issues to worry about than being mobbed by pan-handlers.
Yeah! The way you can instantly see how much money you have without having to riffle through is so fucking annoying! Also those bloody blind bastards complaining that they can't use paper bills without relying on the cashier to provide correct change. Sons of bitches.
Just having police officers is pretty scary, if we are going to instantly avoid things that could be possibly abused. As long as those with power are held accountable, it's retarded to be scared of the technology they use. If we did that, we'd have to get rid of the police entirely, as they could be corrupt in any one of a million ways.
If the person goes from point A to point B, a distance of 1.6667 miles, in less than a minute, then they are going faster than 70 miles per hour. They have to be. There is no way round that.
Oh, and that video shows out-of-focus dust/particles. Not massive UFOs or anything else. NASA 'conveniently' didn't discuss it because there's nothing to discuss. They also didn't 'conveniently' discuss Bigfoot flying by in a Zeppelin, too, because it didn't happen. That tether 'incident' video is the staple of the "UFOs are aliens even though no one has proof that they are" crowd. It's getting old, and very very pathetic.
The scientific method needs actual data to even start to investigate the phenomenon. Eye-witness reports, grainy photos of luminous blobs, and shaky footage of luminous blobs simply doesn't cut it. That's the problem. All the phenomena that were previously called UFOs, but which now science has a firm grip on, were understood because getting actual evidence of them was easy. The ethereal "alien ship" UFO idea is simply not testable, until one stays in a fixed place for hours (either in the sky or on the ground), allowing people to measure it (remotely, of course). Until that happens it's just pissing in the wind.
It will be supported in Flash, so any browser that can play SWFs will also be able to play VP8. The talk of HTML5 support is a different issue entirely. Once it's supported in Flash, there will be no stopping it.
It's strange that these folks most likely wouldn't think twice about news outlets reporting the deaths of soldiers by showing pictures of them being alive and happy, instead of showing gruesome pictures of them all blown up and bleeding to death. Double standards suck.

Seeing as they released the source, I'd imagine it would. The DRM can be simply removed. Problem solved.

The 20p piece was introduced in 1982. Other than that, perfecto.

Most shops have counterfeit-detection devices at the tills, meaning they'll know there and then if the note is bad.
ARM don't make anything. They just own the rights to the ARM design.
Wrong exchange.
Barely any browsers support it, and its video support isn't guaranteed in any browser. Flash is the opposite, and has been that way for years.

Well, if you drive drunk you're likely to kill someone. As for the wrong plant, I totally agree.
That might be something special for the iPhone, but for other phones out there, that's been "nothing much" at all for years.

Everything in the sky was a UFO back then.
Flash's h.264 implementation has nothing to do with DRM. The Flash Media Server, however, can use DRM to serve up media over RTMP.
It will be supported in Flash, so any browser that can play SWFs will also be able to play VP8. The talk of HTML5 support is a different issue entirely. Once it's supported in Flash, there will be no stopping it.
That might be true for the US army, but not all armies. Most are very well-trained to keep the peace.
