netscape/mozilla/firefox does not have 20% of the market. It has less than 8 percent. http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1706694,00.as p IE still retains 92.9% market share. The number you are thinking of is that netscape/mozilla/firefox increased their market share BY 26% at one point over the summer, NOT to 26%.
We have put nuclear reactors into orbit before. On one of the missions, the rocket even blew up. The net gain in radioactivity? ZERO. The casing around the material was designed to be able to tolerate a rocket explosion. They recovered the material (every last gram) and reused it on a later mission. The problem is not garunteeing a 100% success rate, the problem is making sure that if something does occur, that the material doesn't get spewed all over the contry side. And that is orders of magnitude easier.
Why don't they just add a network port or USB/FireWire interface? In the case of the network port, have an FTP server running on the TIVO so that people can pull off the shows they have recorded easily. (And have full or Nearly full FTP support so that we can delete the shows through the FTP as well so I can write a program to do this automatically for me.) In the case of USB/FireWire, treat it as an external HD. Same fun can be had this way.

Even though we have millions of cars polluting the skies it does not mean we should ignore the fact that SRBs are dirty polluters as well.
Then by that logic. Stop breathing. No, seriously. You are poluting this world with the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide. So stop breathing and stop poluting.
ps: We do all realize that, if these ever make it to the consumer market, approximately 99.9% of these will be bought for the "backup" of copyrighted material, right... ?
Given that I work in a TV station, we have to save shows pretty much indefinitely due to Library of Congress requirements. We save our shows at 12 MBits and 50 Mbits and have around 11 thousand hours of new programming each year. Our current Petabyte tape backups system is not enough. With this thing, we might actually be able to keep the tape storage to one room.
B5 wasn't designed to go past 5. It was designed to be 5 seasons total. Read the 5 season DVD booklet sometime. It explains what they had to go through to get someone to approve a 5 season series.
They already have that problem when someone who has an indentical twin commits a crime. Luckily, the other twin has been able to provide a rock solid alibi so far. Sometimes from jail. But it is already an issue, including in rape cases.
However, the one major problem with a clone of a human is that the clone would still be many years younger. If I got cloned now, I might have to worry about this in around 14 or more years but not before.
They have Time Warners abslutely humongus Movie collection that they could stream on demand to people over the internet using their service (if you have a fast connection).
What I mean by that is this:
Lets say the latest windows worm has been released. I am not yet infected. I am not going to shut off my cable modem just because there is a worm on the internet that I have not contracted.
As for turning off bluetooth if I'm not gonna use it. I highly doubt a lot of these people that aren't using bluetooth even know that they have bluetooth in their phones, much less what it is. And before saying anything about it being in the manual, How many people actually read the entire manual other than for finding out exactly how to do what they want to do? Most people will only read it for finding out how to us e the features they want to use, not to find out about all the options they have.
I'm not talking consumer level applications here. I a talking items such as full versions of Photoshop level programs that no consumer would ever use even 1% of its full capability. Profesional level applications are what I am talking about on the software end. A lot of companies that use Apple products don't just use Macs. The will use Macs and PCs depending on which platform has the best software.
But lets take a look at hardware now. Consumer level, to be specific. Lets say it gets leaked that Apple is working on a partable device that will allow you to play all your old favorite games on a handheld. These could be all the games from the IIgs series and DOS for all I care at this point. And lets say Apple is a year from product launch. Another company decides to slap together in 6 or 9 months something that will only do DOS games. The handheld cant do as much, has a shorter battery life and so on. But because they get it to market before apple, people buy their product first since they don't know about Apples. Then, when Apples is announced some/many people don't switch because they don't want to loose their investment or feel like they have wasted money. So they stick with the lower quality player.
What we then have is a case where a leak has cost Apple money by having a competitor get to market quicker with an inferior product. That is mainly what lawsuits like this are about.
The main reason they are trying to stop these leaks is so that further leaks do not occur. I wouldn't be surprised if some of Apples competitors (say, app creators for MS Windows machines) troll the rumors sites to try and find out what Apple is up to. By creating a product, even if it is inferior, to one Apple is making and getting it out the door before Apple anounces their product or has it ready can cost Apple money. Mainly cause people will buy the first thing that comes along that does what they need if they don't know of any other product coming out anytime soon.
Much of the problem, at least in the US, is that people drive like morons.
You haven't seen the way some people drive in the middle east. They will drive a car into the ground in 6 months with 10,000 dents and when it breaks down it will get pushed to the side of the road by traffic.
Thinking big picture, how many die each year because we don't have this technology?
Remember, we are talking about a follow the leader system here. If the first person does something stupid, all the following computer cars will do the exact same thing. We are talking lemmings here. All this will do is essentially let people lock on and follow the person in front of them while they surf for porn/jack off/have sex or what not. This wont do anything other than that.
one good though far off possibility is to have cars all travelling to the same route "train up" real close to each other
The blue angels have a trick where they all get real close to each other and follow the leader. Then they buz the ground REAL CLOSE. One time the leader came in a bit too low and we lost five very good pilots. Imagine what would happen here with cars if one goes off the road/cliff. I can just see the headlines now. "500 Car pileup, NO SURVIVORS". Yes, trafic is that bad in the Washington D.C. area.
Ummm... Why would they integrate this system into the same control system as the car? Also, #3 requies you to be a) drive by wire and b) have the two system connected in some way. #2 requires said speedometer being able to display adds in the first place. #4, you assume this isn't already happening?
In the US we already use Metric and Imperial. Look at any ratchet set or in any tool shop and you will find Metric and Imperial measurements for the tools. The US does use the Metric System. Just not in a lot of places most people routinely notice.

The TV2Go transfers the Tivo uses MPEG2 compression. This has no DRM on it what so ever. And there are tons of tools out there for transcoding it to other formats. Have fun. http://customersupport.tivo.com/knowbase/root/publ ic/tv2176.htm

May be they will use some alternative cheaper form of energy in the near future.
it's called nuclear fission. see here for details: http://nuclearspace.com/a_liberty_ship.htm
And no, this does not involve blowing up atomic bombs beneath the ship.
Gah! They got it all wrong! It was suposed to be 60 feet tall and have Gundanium armor, not Geranium Armor!

there are people dying of hunger out there and wars going on too.
This has been happening for several thousand years. What's your point?
Yes, and there are millions of children in oprhanages wating to be adopted. Literally. Maybe people should stop having kids and adopt instead huh?
Then by that logic it is wasteful for parents to have a child of their own while there are still children up for adoption.

If you use it, you leave it on. If you don't use it, you may not even know it is there.
