At least that would explain all the commotion the MPAA & co. have started... I think they would not go to such lengths just to harass a legitimate fan site, right?
Just wondering... I did not look through all the pictures, but I did start to wonder that where are the stars? Shouldn't they be visible on e.g. the Earthrise sequence pictures?
Safety has become a valuable sales argument for car manufacturers lately. Both passive safety and active safety have evolved quite a lot during the last few years.
Both will for sure keep on evolving in the future, but the only thing that has not and will not evolve are people. To be more exact, the attitudes have not evolved.
Everytime when an accident occurs you see the headlines screaming right at you in the news, and even the most hardened road hogs seem to calm down for a week or two. But after those couple of weeks people somehow forget and continue like they used to, just waiting for the next accident to happen and start the cycle again.
Either we find a way to change the attitudes for good OR we find a way to prevent (or at least minimize) the chance for an accident. Be it computer-driven cars (like in Minority Report if I remember right) or something similar.
We're on the right track for sure, e.g. several brands have cruise control which keeps the distance constant eventhough the speed is not constant. ESP (like the German brands call it) can correct some of the driver's mistakes when cornering. A long way still to go nonetheless!
It is not enough to be able to do two thing at once, you should keep your eyes on the road. You never know when that idiot driving in front of you just happens to goof up while you're busy reading Slashdot...:)
Seriously though, how about those head up displays (HUDs) which at least some car manufacturers (GM?) have been introducing? Just hook your laptop to that and voila!
Come on, I know this is Slashdot, but the most of us just browsing through the headlines did not understand what the acronym GM meant without reading further...
Next time, how about not blatantly assuming that "hey, everybody has to know what <insert your favorite acronym here> means..." when submitting stories?

Couldn't agree more.

I wonder how long it takes before our beloved mr Gates gets the same idea and offers a couple of linux CDs with every Windows to "try them out"...
That'll be the day!
I guess it was sooo self-explanatory that nobody bothered to send it in :D
My personal favourite (a few clicks away from the above link): "Teapotahedron".

Yeah, me too.

It is possible to use ssh instead of rsh with "-e ssh".
I'm not that familiar with CDMA, so I cannot comment on it being more advanced, but GSM is a combination of FDMA and TDMA, not only TDMA.
Yeah, I know, the brand is not that well known outside Finland...
