And those are pretty stupid ideas as well. If people want to risk their own lives, why exactly is it necessary for the government to intervene? That's up to private education. If people care about seat belts, they should fund some foundation and create public awareness -- maybe shock commercials or something. I bet you could Google some studies that show it works. Some still might choose to risk their lives -- knowing full well the risk, but that's their choice. And if you believe the individual to be sovereign -- for you to own yourself -- it's also their right. I always put on seatbelts -- but that's just because I don't personally want to die. Those who want to take risks should be allowed to as long as they don't put others at risk. Not wearing a seat-belt, or a helmet, is a risk to no one but one's self.

If people, especially authorities can't be recorded when in public, then there is nothing to prevent them from abusing their authority, doing anything they wish, and lying about it.
That's the way it is right now. Cameras, especially internet connected cameras, threaten the status quo.
You've had good luck with stability. Others... not so much. It all depends on the quality of the apps you install through Cydia. Some like to push the envelope with customization, risking stability. On a phone, you need to be able to restart the thing and remove a troublesome package unless you're nearby a computer constantly.
Just checked. Apple is no longer signing 4.3.3 from what i'm reading. Well. Guess whoever is on 4.3.3 will never be able to get back there after a restore. TinyUmbrella will do nothing now, nor will Cydia's backup.
Good lord no. I don't hope to see such an exploit (though some exploit may be necessary to discover at some future point to jailbreak, for example, IOS5). The browser exploit used for the 4.3.3 jailbreak is only one method to jailbreak a device (a convenient one). Normally you plug it into your computer and run a program such as redpois0n to jailbreak the device, or you can load a pre-jailbroken custom firmware created using a tool such as pwnage tool or sn0wbreeze. Browser exploits are (almost) never a good thing. "Un-tethered" in the IOS jailbreaking lexicon simply means you can reboot your device without having to connect it to the computer.
Actually, it's just a tethered jailbreak, meaning you have to connect your device to your computer every time you want to restart it. I'd wait a week or two and check on the dev team blog for a full, un-tethered jailbreak. With an iPad, tethered is not so bad given the battery live and non-critical nature of the device, but on a phone... I'd stick with 4.3.3 or whatever you're on unless you carry a backup phone you can stick the sim card into.
So basically what you're saying is you take an array of pinhole cameras, interpolate the array of images further, use the differences to generate depth, and then apply a post process? Or is it actually doing some resampling... like using the array of cameras as "film"?
I was skeptical at first on hearing about this (they make it seem like a single camera), but now it makes sense. Clever.
How is 720p mkv playback? if that works, i'm sold. right now i'm running Axura (pretty much the latest before it died). Very stable and fast rom. Gps is a bit broken, tho. Does GPS work? Becuase I use that a lot.
The stock Filesystem on the captivate is probably RFS. That's what it is on my Vibrant (or was, until i flashed a rom that uses ext4). Glad to hear GPS works. It's horribly broken in all the Galaxy S Variants. Seems to be a driver issue. As soon as CM7 is stable i'll be switching (either that or the CM7 based MIUI).
It's the opposite of fragmentation. 35 people manage 32 devices, yes, but the rom looks and feels the same on every phone. 35 people are required because usually a developer only has one or two phones.
Different strains of pot do different things. Sativa dominant strains with a high THC:CBD ratio (favoring thc) act as a sort of stimulant. Indica dominant strains, on the other hand, with a high concentration of CBD, tend to lock people to the couch. When people say "weed" they're actually talking about two different plants and their hybrids in between.
Yes, weed *can* improve a person's functioning if it's the right strain. Sativa strains are used to treat ADHD in medical states. The catch is that while it's illegal, it's very difficult in most places to buy a specific strain and even the dealers generally don't know what you're talking about when you mention strains (or they'll lie). If cannabis were legal, people would be able to better specify what they're looking for.
You're implying a player has to play the movie back at full speed. Frame by frame capture at a reduced speed (or even on demand a-la frameserver) works just fine. DVDs could be ripped that way before deCSS. All it would take is network or even bluetooth control of the player and a hdmi capture card. The only thing that has to be played back at full speed is the audio, and that can be done on a separate pass and re-muxed when the video is finished encoding.
I've had that problem in Windows but not in Mac OS (on the same machine), which is strange on windows, it's supposed to be hardware accelerated. Yes I have the newest nvidia drivers and flash.
A lot of content on Netflix is 720p HD too... and on both my mac and pc Silverlight video is smoother than flash (even with flash 10.1 hardware decoding).
It's well known in a lot of places thanks to the documentary "Beer Wars". In the DC area where I live there are several Dogfish Head alehouses and the local Wegmans stocks several of their beers as well. I don't normally like beer but Dogfish Head makes excellent products with variety and eccentricity that actually taste good.
Forcing a person to take this test forces them to testify against themselves. I can see this being admissible as defense evidence but for the prosecution to force a person to undergo this procedure is in my mind Unconstitutional.

You have to download torrents before watching. Streaming is instant gratification.
Does Hulu have 5 seasons of lost on HD streaming?
A lot of content on Netflix is 720p HD too... and on both my mac and pc Silverlight video is smoother than flash (even with flash 10.1 hardware decoding).
Netflix already does that. HD too, even on pc.
iTunes warns you when buying content to back it up. If people don't heed this warning, it's their fault.

I gave up on the term and started calling myself libertarian (with a small "L") long ago.
Centralia was the inspiration for Silent Hill.
120 Hz could provide some benefit for 24p material since it's evenly divisible.
