I'm familiar with the hoops you have to jump through to take down videos but I've found them to be painless in my experience. I had 2 high traffic videos re-uploaded by other users (with ads) that I filed claims for. By providing a link to my original video the process was sped up quite a bit.
However I do agree that Google has no incentive to enforce their own copyright rules unless someone notices. I can't imagine how much ad revenue they have made on movies and music that was uploaded by other than owners.
It seems like they are going to turn into a full blown computer, but if you are making a TV with a big computer on the back why not separate them so that you don't have to buy a new computer every time you want a new display. Oh wait, I think I said that 4 or 5 posts ago. Not every hole needs to be plugged.
Apple invented the touch screen phone shaped like a rectangle with round corners? I'de like to direct your attention to the IBM Simon (1993), the Ericsson P800 or the OS XDA Flame. Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that there were no phones or mp3 players before apple invented them.
The whole patent systems needs a rework to bring it up to speed with today's technology. Asking that they get it ready for tomorrow's is wishful thinking at best.
TVs should be a display and that's it. Give it the brain to decode HDMI signals and the tuner for over the air digital but that should be it. Every time a manufacturer tries to put more then that in their TV it just makes it worse. I spent a day at best buy looking at TVs this month, not a single internet enabled had an interface that doesn't make you want to rip out all your hair. Added features shouldn't break the main ones.
That's true for every gasoline engine that isn't specifically designed for alcohol. Alcohol makes rubber gaskets dry out and crack, it also does a pretty good job at taking the lubricating oil off of everything. Its a wonder that old motors last hours let alone years on the 10% stuff.
You can chose to eat or not eat anything you want but trying to prevent others from doing exactly the same thing is a little fucky don't you think? I support research and development into GM because it has the potential to lower costs and increase the nutritional value of foods. If it is developed and approved by the FDA then you can choose to not eat it as you will but if near sighted kneejerkers block it from development and approval then I lose the ability to choose a cheaper source of nutrition.
I see the tinfoil hat lobby is here. Where does this cancer threat come from? Is it because the media equates anything with "DNA" to cancer? If you are that concerned about the effects of GM foods on your health or the health of your kids then STOP BEING SCARED OF IT and DO SOME RESEARCH. Yelling "its going to kill us all" isn't going to help any one, sit down and do some serious google work. Read everything you find on GM foods and not just the alarmist knee jerk reactions of the uninformed. Just because it's not natural doesn't mean its bad.
300-400$ for a camera that will film 1920*1080 at 120 fps and is extreme sports friendly? That's a steal, if you compare the video quality of their latest one to the top consumer camcorders on the market they are right on par and a hell of a lot cheaper. I do wonder what foxcon eventually wants out of this deal though.
You think that in a moment like that the average school employee could shoot some one? Aside from having a loaded gun waiting in a drawer or purse in your scenario (a serious potential for it getting into the wrong hands), how many of armed staff would regularly go out to the range and practice? How many could make the shot and disable or kill a shooter? How many could shoot a kid? You become a teacher because you think you have it in you to kill a kid, even if they are threatening you or the kids around you.
Really, they had to add that? Who can't figure out a USB connector in the dark? Try it one way then flip it over and try again then flip it over and try its 4th dimensional rotation and plug it in. How hard is that?
I am one of the holdouts for the Pro but I did get my hands on the ARM version a few weeks ago at the only bloody MS Surface booth in Ontario. In the 5min I was holding it I managed to find everything I was looking for and didn't have any hiccups in responsiveness or performance. It is a shame that they are so late to the game but I don't think windows vista/7 would have worked as well in a tablet situation.
You're not far off the mark. You can easily send 1000W of power via microwaves with 0 new technology. The last time I saw it one of the space elevator university teams was using a microwave oven with a hole in the door and a rectifying antenna to get more then enough power to run their machine up a rope.
That's pretty much how I see it as well. The other day my girlfriend said "hey you still have ads on gmail" and I responded "really? where?" I really don't noticed them any more. Not to say that every one should just man up and not care but it doesn't (in most cases) hurt you to have ads on your screen and the people putting them up make a few bucks at the same time, why go out of your way to pinch their pennies?
As a licensed electrician and high voltage hobbiest I can assure you that a pair of rubber dish washing gloves will stand up to a 7kv electric fence long enough to cut the wires from the power supply. You got a shock because you touched the fence with a wooden stick, wood has a lot of water in it which is conductive and when it doesn't have water it does have a lot of carbon which is also very conductive at high voltages.
Bingo, as stupid as copper thieves are they'll figure out in a hurry that a cheap pair of gloves and some cutters will make short work of an electric fence.
Space shuttles took off and landed in Florida but that doesn't mean it was a straight up and down flight. The camera doesn't show very well how much lateral movement was going on.

Oh yeah, I forgot they were holding consumers at gunpoint and dictating what OS to use. If only there were some alternative.

Its easier to steal from dead people, they don't fight back.

That sounds like logic! I wont have any logic when it comes to traffic control and regulation, its obscene!

Dumbasses who like pigeon soup?
But its for the animals! You aren't thinking about the animals!
They tried shooting the city pigeons but I hear they ran into problems ;)
I'm not sure if you follow PETA's actions very closely but the legality of other peoples actions has no bearing on whether PETA harasses them.
You'de be stupid not to use windows! Do you know how many offers I get for free vacations and cheap medication? I never see those popping up on linux.
