It only opens files, allows to zoom, pan, change views, etc. The tools are not functional in the demo yet. This isn't the open source release. It's not done yet. Just a proof of concept, to show that the rendering engine works.
How to do you propose that they "prove it" then? Why don't you "prove" that it's worthwhile reading your posts and then we'll decide whether to read them.
I hope they're not contracting out to any Australian or European shops to build the rest of them. There's be untold opportunity for a goal post unit mix-up.
I suspect they wanted to target Windows first because of the competition. I'd really like to see it on Linux or OS X as well. Maybe i'll check out VMWare.
Well, I KNOW that you're a awfully naive. There's a reason why Animal Farm and Lord of the Flies are on many school curricula. Did you skip that month? Or is that coming next term? Please - spare us what YOU KNOW and let the adults discuss this.
People do need an incentive to make them generally, but with aerial photographs, this is getting easier and easier as time goes on.
I think you have a fundemental misunderstanding of what maps are.
2) Subway maps have always been freely available in paper form, as well as in electronic form directly off of the MTA's site
Yes, and you see, in this case, the maps were not being distributed by MTA and without their permission. End of story.
Nothing to see here. They're acting to protect their copyrighted materials, just like any competent company should do. If they don't, the copyright becomes watered down. Often this will make the company look stupid (or brutish) but the law states that they must be seen to have taken steps to maintain their right to a copyright.
Yes, having the maps on an iPod is a great idea (i have an interest specifically with vector maps on handheld devices) but it wasn't them that was distributing the maps. So, they have to release the lawyers.
I wasn't very encouraged when i tried the linux client last spring. I was willing to ignore the look (ah, the things we'll accept to use linux...) but the interface was also less than intuitive. Supposedly, it's internals were top-notch and so i hoped the front-end might catch up.
I'd heard very good things about it for a while and decided to check it out. It crashed hard on Fedora. And the interface was... well, pretty sad. But by most accounts, it was, indeed, a very good IMAP client. Except the interface. And the crashing.
mods have itchy fingers. It's a legitimate point. However, i'm one of those who likes the design of things. I haven't yet bought one of these, but i really appreciate stuff like this. Wait a bit and get the lower-end item they'll be releasing. Or buy one of these used. And if the design bothers you so much, you could case-mod it with popsicle sticks.
That's why the military's interested in using these to move things (like tanks) from one place to another. What's in between is not their concern. That's robot tank business. Long-range terrestrial navigation (and sweet-mother-of-god destruction) is a whole other matter.
This thing's big boat in the air. They just need it to be a boat. In the air.
That they 'feel like it'? It's simply that they've passed a threshold leading up to launch where they feel confident enough to announce. There are *many* reasons why a launch might need to be delayed (or even scrubbed) which would be seen as an embarrasment.

Which is why the Yamantau Mountain complex in Russia, some 1 300 km from Moscow, has raised so many eyebrows.
and i've got just the name for it...
I think the poll at the top of the page should ask, "Do you trust WhiteDust security?"
Oh, wait - that's what the 'Test the exploit' link is for.
Imagine the goatse implications of that. Think of the children!
I've read it a couple of times (had it for ~10 years). IIRC, Shlain is a neurosurgeon.

That's Subway®.

Then it crashed and i removed it.
Oh, and having the source wouldn't do anyone much good unless they planned on forever keeping it closed lest they find their asses sued.

I use linux because I happen to think it's far, far better than Windows, thanks.
Just a thought.

You do realize that a carrier has a crew of ~5000 don't you? There's a reason for that.
