from the 90s here in the U.S.A was a change to vehicle OBD (on-board diag). OBD III was to transmit to roadside nodes any vehicles that had slipped into emissions failure. The LE (law enforcement would then send a 'fix or else' citation in the mail. One feature of this was vehicle location, direction and speed were also sent, so although they would 'never' use said information, it was an easy extrapolation to speeding tickets.
that a new type of governance is being successfully pushed - 'capitacracy'. This is where only the largest businesses and wealthiest people have any say and all forms of communication/expression and liberty not controlled by said entities will be outlawed?
Regardless of its intent, every lawyer knows this vagueness can be exploited to further all kinds of oppressive litigation and control.

this seems similar to a VRML presentation layer. There should be graphics for the various exit actions the visitors take. If exit is by a 'back' reference button, user leaves by same bus. If by the 'back' arrow or address change, visitor jumps off building before the building resizes/relights.
The processor speed for marketers is comparable to the engine size wars in the 60s/70s. If I say I have a 402 (6.6L) in my Chevelle and Bob next door has a (snicker) 350 (5.7L) in his Nova, my car gets the approving nods, but may not be faster since the Nova is lighter. Now compare said Chevelle w/today's Z06 'vette. Little 'wimpy' vette has just a 5.7L, but kicks the snot outta the Chevelle in performance.
IBM, and other marketing 'geniuses', need to name their products to entice the 'mine is bigger' crowd. Right now, in the consumer computer realm, GHz talks. Most non-IT people I know will spout the "My PC is 4GHz - what's yours?" mantra when a 2.8 Opteron w/SCSI320 will kick its butt. The enlightened will know, but 'tis the general ignorant masses that have the buying power.
As a long-time Windows user/developer (I have run small LANs with Novell/Win3-9x), I have tired of the constant security breaches, bug patches and the BSOD (although XP does not give these - just system freezes). It (like me) is also getting too fat. 512MB to get decent performance from just the OS? No thanks!!!
Americans have outlawed all fur'in spelled words like whinging. All future correspondence must eliminate usage of said word or litigation will be sought.

Although this does not belong here either, I feel obliged to refute your feeble-minded and limp-wristed rant. If YOU had any belief in the effluvium you spew you would not hide behind AC.
In response:
#1 - Although outlawing firearms MAY lower gun-related homocides, it would not eliminate them. It would give all wanton criminals a distinct advantage, though. If your little mind can handle an analogy just look at drugs - illegal, yet rampant (and a massive waste of enforcement $)
#2 - Must be an interesting city you find these people. 18 waffles for breakfast AND 5 BK stops? My entire family doesn't eat that much. Most linemen don't eat that much.
#3 - How does 'cheese-eating surrender monkey' sound to you? And, the majority of ignoramuses use 'fuckhead' for witty retorts. And most Americans care about CONTENT of messages, not sentence structure (I LOVE dangling participles)
#4 - I must, sadly, profess a lack of knowledge of the French - other than Paris having a cat-shit problem. I must have gotten the advanced education. I must remove all knowledge that Mandrake is a French company - no wait, in France, right? I must also block all information I have on the fact that the British AND French were as culpable as the COlonials in the mistreatment and subjugation of Native American populaces.
#5 - Actually, the fact that undesirable factions are allowed to speak is the basic tenet of 'freedom of speech'. No country should EVER stop someone from speaking their mind. If someone wishes to listen to the KKK, Black Panthers, or even (shudder) a Frenchmen, GOOD FOR THEM!!! I find nonsensical your assertion that we Americans like what the goverment has been allowing. Perhaps it is you that is too xenophobic
#6 - How do inferior products and litgation tie together? I find this another spurious assertion. American over-litigation comes from the 'get rich quick' credo. You like the word 'ass' don't you?
#7 - To use your own petard, how does go about 'whinging'? Is it good for cardio? And most Americans prefer drink over shrink.
#8 - Let's get this straight: gun->Clint Eastwood movie; cheeseburger->Rocky; Friends has a box set? Ohmigod!! (hysterically wetting pants)
Get a life or start using your left hand, too.
It's time to start skimming the gene pool...
It will be interesting to see what the performance comparisons of MSNET/MonoNET and MonoNet/LinJava. I would also like to see the CLI for Java project gain steam to take over some MS mkt share on the Winserver side (and allow seamless upgrades to Lin/Unix for those). Since C-pound is much like a C++/Java mutant it is not hard to transfer to the language.
will be unleashed on the unsuspecting world immediately upon my death!! (evil Professor Chaos laugh here)
Seriously, all my personal affects are entrusted to family and they can do w/it as they wish. The only problem periph. is the HP IPaq. It is keyed to my fingerprint so someone will have to press it to my cold hand before I am nuked.
The only odious aspect of outsourcing is when any tax money is spent on it. It may cost a little (or even alot) more, but at least that money is going FROM our economy TO our economy. Of course, in Anime there should be no government needs so this is almost off-topic.
The only thing that need be dead of the current CD-Audio is the quality. I believe there should be 2 markets (like cassette/CD of yesteryear). The online formats are all sonically inferior to the CD, which is actually sonically inferior (pops and cracks ignored) than vinyl. What is needed is a portable medium no larger than 5.25" CD format that allows the original sound to be duplicated EXACTLY (SACD and DVD-Audio supposedly do this by I cannot verify). $1 mp3s are no value IMO - even an entire album for $10! Since the industry does not have to pay S&H,cover art,production (physical) costs or storage fees, this is by far a better profit for them AND and lower-quality for us. And since the downloaded content is often 'burned' to a CD the medium is still valid. The truly DEAD medium is tape - mp3 is sonically better and can be transferred to a smaller medium than tape (USB keys anyone?).
It's time to start skimming the gene pool.
There will be attempts, like Sun and MS, to have subscription-based apps and supplied hardware. The hardware and software will be succeeding edge, not leading edge. I see this as the path for businesses mostly, and some home users that get their internet bundled w/apps and a free (or cheap computer). Since most businesses today are concerned about cost over benefit if their hardware upgrades happen from and are supported by their app vendors then most of their apparent IT infrastructure (OS/app/hdwe support) will be hidden in the vendor costs.
A second tier will be the innovators - businesses that create new technology (and their disciples) to be eventually passed to the masses.
A third tier will be the disruptors, who will not abide by forced upgrades and constant payment schedules. This tier is most likely the home of most Open Source projects (with some in the innovators group), IMO (I am not humble!!!).
This 'patent' is another glaring proof of the broken federal system. It is far too vague to be legitimate. Since I cannot fix the patent system I will start at the evil empire. I already boycott ALL CC stations (all suck now anyway) and I will not buy any of their 'Live' crap, or go to a CC-sponsored concert (since they have no hard-rock presence in Dallas this is also easy). I'd boycott advertisers on their stations but that would require listening.

What you are missing is the personal use of PUBLIC information. Radio and TV are both public spectrum. I buy or build a device to read this information and I am perfectly legal. The VCR is a find example of this. If I am not home to watch a program I can record it, play it back, rip out the parts I want to watch again, and even skip parts I do not want (commercials, D. Franz's naked butt). Radio is the same way. If my local station has the top 20 every night @ midnight and I wish to sleep then, it is absolutely legal for me to record it and play it back later. Maybe I want to move it to my laptop for viewing on my plane flight. If the RIAA and MPAA get their way, only their approved devices (which may disallow ad skipping) and their approved methods can be used. Only if I try to sell it to someone else/broadcast it to my local city should I be considered a convict. It has nothing to do w/purchasing something. And, as you point out, it is SOOO easily circumvented all the measure would be is a collosal waste of money.
I do not see this as a viable replacement for anything, either. Save resources and traffic space? Get a motorcycle. Need to carry more than a briefcase? Get a car that seats more than 2.
Actually safety would be fine if criminal driving behaviors were ratcheted up - run a red light and kill someone? Minimum 5 yrs and 1 year loss of DL after that. Turned in front of someone and use the 'I did not see them' excuse? 120 hrs community service, 6 month loss of license and mandatory re-training.

WE will turn the planet into grey goo. Maybe the paranoids need to construct self-replicating machines that actually BUILD instead of consume.

So my wifi herd would be a cluster of CP-moos... I'd have a Moo-o-wolf cluster... Now if I can just train sharks to do my bidding!!!
Wouldn't that be "mujacking"?

of the 'feet off the seats rule'. And stop all embarassing episodes of PDA - both hetero and homo-sexual (not that there's anything wrong with that).
