Why are the robots we send to mars always so flimsy looking, the look like they are designed to easily get stuck or break,If i was designing a mars rover i would make sure that
A) It was capable of clearing debris off it's solar panels
B) it could right itself if overturned
C) it's propulsion system was designed to resist getting tangled up by parachutes and any other stuff around the landing spot
D) it Carrys a redundant solar array in case the solar array is damaged
E) it has to be able to "lift" itslef in any direction in case it gets stuck at an odd angle, 6 to 8 extendable rods facing different directions should be fine
It probably will, however, let you re-start the file if it does not finish, they don't want people sharing accounts or using their service to access their music from anywhere, as that bandwith usage would be too expensive to stay in buisness
I suspect that the bill detection uses the color histogram of the image along with the aspect ratio, such a technique would have few false positive and be fairly accurate for detecting money
Subsidy lockout exists because cell phones don't actually cost $50-$100, they are alot more and the provider pays most of that price counting on customers using their service long enough to make up their investment, if you buy a phone at it's actual cost you will be able to use it on any compatable network, but with the mess that is the current cell network in the US i'll stick to subsidy locked cheap phones for now.
when i think of sony i think of my broken ps2 and my friends broken CD walkman and my dad's dvd player that can't read CD-R audio or VCD on CD-r but will read -RW, in short when i think of sony i think of crap (no i am not a nintendrone, i have had bad experience with their stuff)
serial numbers can do that just fine (such as on a PS2 where there is a hole in the box so they can scan your serial number barcode when they ring it up) RFID is not that big deal, in fact i believe that RFID will turn into a wonderful source of entertainment for slashdot crowd types, carry a tag marked 1337 or 31337 in your wallet
They would not have to release their code, but they could be sued for damages and barred from distributing untill they have removed the offending code,
Erector sets are fun untill you can't get the thing to drive cause the newer motors are underpowered and have to be stepped down alot for a vehical to move under it's own power, the gear train ends up taking up most of the vehical, but the helecoptor was so cool,~18' of spinning metal really frickin hurts when you put your finger in it.
I think part of the problem is the pressure to get published, without such pressure more emphasis would be put on discovering things rather than making boring and pointless/redundant information publishable.
Someone will probably mod me down cause jokes seem to go flying over people's heads
Generally it refers to CE/ME/NT, all of windows is cement not just CE
Terribly misleading. Who cares what the music industry says is legal? When I have to stand before Cary Sherman for judgement in a courtroom (god help us all), I'll give a crap what the music industry says is legal.
The day I have to stand before Cary Sherman In court is the day i purchase an uzi submachine gun.
Exactly, any time you allow an external signal to dictate where a plane goes it can be manipulated, a laptop hidden onboard with some specialized eqipment could make a fake GPS signal so instead of avoiding a no-fly zone the system forces the plane into a target without ever having to physically overpower the pilots, thus circumventing the new cockpit doors. the only way to make this feasable would be using inirtial sensors on board the plane to determine acceleration and calculate position that way, but even then messing with the initial position setting could get around it.
Personally i like my panasonic MP3 CD player, it's bigger and uses batteries faster (I use Ni-MH) but i can hold 700MB of MP3's at a time and can carry more MP3 CD's if i want more music.
how about if people said "Really Fuck it" and started mass violence against spammers, tracking them down and burning down their houses or shooting them, far fewer people would be willing to start spamming if it meant possible death
Not that i am inciting violence, i don't think it should be done but i wouldn't feel sorry for 'em if they did end up face down in a gutter

What happens when it decides that it's human masters are no longer needed and should be experimented on?

If this system does not implement some method of appealing a classification expece to hear about a massive wave of lawsuits.

Are you forgetting any CD player? iTunes lets you burn your music to CD, so the limited support for protected AAC isn't that big a deal
I have my prefs set with a +1 modifier to AC's to compensate for posting at 0

Halliburton owns one!? so we should blame Bush for the IP address shortage! I knew it....
I think "these people" refers to street vendors, not hispanics as a whole

I am sure the SEC would look down upon that, using holding companies to bend the rules is probably illegal and certainly unethical

Yes, i did intend my comment to be funny, I know enough to make real threats as AC lol
*BUT* Eminem is catching shit for it

But with a switch you can't accadentally push too hard and actually slow down
