Or take the American route and sue for breach of contract, false advertising, emotional distress, pain and suffering, lost wages and lawyer fees and just see what sticks.
I don't understand the school zone thing. It may be different elsewhere but around here NOBODY lets their kids walk to school, if they did they would probably have social services called on them for child endangerment (since we all know the streets are just filled with people who want to steal our children...). I have seen, literally, a school bus pull out of a school, drive 1 block, and then drop off a couple kids. If they're never going to be crossing the street unattended, why the heck does everybody have to slow down to 20 mph in a 3 block radius around the school?
What? No. No it isn't. I'm not saying it isn't bad or shouldn't be illegal, but you can't really call somebody dying an "invasion of privacy." It just doesn't make any sense.
It seems to me that the results point to an interesting area of research, and rather than just averaging, more work should be done understanding the inconsistency. If it is not random error, and not an artifact, then something really fascinating might be going on.
Exactly. I'm not even a professional and I can smell the grant proposal in this a mile away.
I'd love to see a movie or two set in the Shadowrun universe. I spent a couple weeks reading all the source books and making characters but could never get enough people committed to playing.
That happened on my street. I live in the historic district (basically 1 street full of 100-130 year old houses) and when they replaced the old leaky water main suddenly the whole street was plagued with exploding plumbing.
You can tell how wide the field of view of a camera mounted 30 feet up is just by looking at it? I think it would be rather helpful when planning a robbery/murder/whatever to know exactly where the cameras are looking instead of having just a general idea. Plus getting this information online reduces your risk of being recognized from having cased the location in person.
Offhand I would say the primary concern would be that if the criminals know where the security cameras are looking then they would know where they aren't looking as well.
I think we're going to have to wait until we have reliable molecular-assemblers before we can really do this right. And even then it would have to be something like nose-plugs to prevent lag from waiting for the scent to reach your nose.
If this was an insect or small animal that might escape and breed you could have a point, but we're talking about a MAMMOTH. I seriously doubt they're going to manage to sneak off and start breeding in the wild without anybody noticing.
My biggest gripe with SMS is that there is no default-on delivery failure notification, and failure occurs all too often. I would say around 2 or 3% of the SMSs I send or receive are simply lost (and yet my fiancee continuously uses it for essential communications despite my repeated pleadings to simply call me if its important or she needs an immediate response).
I think it should be optional at the convicts discretion. If they know they're guilty and just want to get it over with we should be able to march them straight from the courtroom to the chair (table, gurney, whatever they use these days), and save ourselves some money on housing and feeding them. If they're still shouting "I'm innocent!!" at the end of the trial give them life in prison so we can let them out if it turns out we were wrong.
I just always buy whichever one is cheapest. If I find out the product doesn't meet my needs next time I'll go with the next to cheapest and so on until I get something I can accept.
If all you have to do is think "yes" or "no no no no, oh shit, no" I doubt it will be too ponderous. One way or the other this theoretical interface we're talking about will require some new software. I'm fairly sure the people making it will have the idea "hey, what if I think something but didn't REALLY mean it" and code in an "are you sure" prompt. They could make it optional for the people who want to live dangerously.
Basically I see this as a non-issue unless you have a habit of thinking to yourself "email to president at whitehouse dot gov im going to kill you send yes"

Sounds about right. The console part of the game has expanded until it interferes with the PC part.
I did this myself, and somehow facebook connected the dots because it keeps recommended that I friend myself.

Sounds about right to me. Using technology to subvert immoral laws (and immoral law-enforcement).

Like this?
So we should tax lawyers and accountants?

Couldn't they build in some sort of (broad/multi)cast into the spec so they can send firmware updates to everybody at once?

Seriously, OP needs to write "I will not use LMGTFY unless someone is asking an astonishingly stupid question." 200 times on the blackboard.

Maybe he just didn't want to work (for you or at all), and threw the interview on purpose, only having gone to it to keep his parents off his case.

Indeed. I find it highly ironic that what we have here is a method to prevent advertising being used as an advertising medium.

Yes, since brain-computer interfaces obviously mean the total eradication of "are you sure" prompts.
The example in the article of a nursing program, for instance : perhaps anyone who applied to the program via THAT ad would be rejected out of hand.
So they're going to spend money on an advertising campaign to solicit applications from.. people they don't want as clients?
What?
