I would say yeah, in a couple of generations the consoles will be a much cleaner development platform for games, which make them attractive to developers as well as consumers; consumers who no longer have to worry about updating or even understanding the hardware in their machine to play a game. The second group of consumers offer a much larger market anyway and will easily muscle out pc gamers, so through an economic lense, it does make sense gaming will move off the pc.
I am really for this though, because we all know the distance between what we all think of as pcs and consoles is razor thin, and with ingenuity on consumers part, accessing all freedoms that the console hardware provides is a definite possibility. Then its just another piece of hardware with good games, and maybe new glories for the hacking community.
Maybe the autistic kids are the normies and the normies the autistic kids but the current normies have a genetic defect which gives them the predisposition to take advantage of others and seek control of individuals. Labels, especialy in the psycological field often just serve to separate and give validation to those making the rules; whether intentional or not, only in time do those labels show up as complete bullshit. Just look how women were treated in the victorian age... or now.
I guess I wasnt the only one with this idea:) Fairly simple idea though, but I think there are a lot of subtleties in implementation to be thought out. Think about however, how strongly a distributed web server and access to files would go in to forming the basis of a community!
It might come in at that rate, but I doubt it would be recorded at that rate because of the storage requirements. But really I doubt it even comes out of the cameras at high enough rates to lip read because that would be a huge amount of bandwith.
That's why I feel it is important that the hardware be built in such a way to avoid this and the technical sheets released to the public to ensure this. Releasing the schematics of course brings in the worry of the units being hacked... but I would rather the unit be hacked and the result understood by everyone than a group of 4 people with the teck
in public space you do assume some level of public time, in that when a moment comes it passes un recorded. The time may be recorded by individuals in whatever medium, but the use of the information gathered about that moment isn't going to be databased under your name and accessible to high level officials and beauracratic institutions. Lists of just names in the hands of political entities is a dangerous thing; politics are volatile and information once benign can come back and do powerful things at later dates.
I think it would be important to share the hardware capabilities of these mics. If they aren't sampling at a high enough rate to capture inteligible language, than the fear that these devices will be used in a malicious way is somewhat removed.
We've seen entire ecosystems of one region incredibly damaged by introducing species from another, I can only imagine the damage that will be done by species being introduced from one _time_ to another.
RFID tech seems to have a good deal of buzz, or at least hype, in hardware headlines as of the last two years. I'm sure we would all like to stay ahead of the curve, and I myself have been trying just to catch up.
But I've been having some trouble in finding useful and comprehensive material, at both the free space of the internet lvevl and that of my university library's.
I'm wondering if anyone can share some technical information: books, links, advice on the subject, particularly on the hardware setup-with a budget- for a small range passive tag system.
So far I've found at least http://www.rfida.com/index.htm to be of some help:)
With all of the initial excitement surrounding possible discoveries of life on other planets, I wonder if the dangers in having this knowledge will be thought out by our space invaders. Look around at our world and what we as a species have done to this planet in a mere 8000 or so years, can we be so sure that our touch will not have the same result on another planet? Perhaps these initial signs of life, and what may be beginning steps of an evolutionary proccess (or the middle, or the end(if you think of it as linear)) will some how be fouled, or even stifled by our intrusion upon it-I mean I can't see our world's governments sitting on their haunchs and not attempting some kind of observation or capitalization which has the extreme possibility of upsetting a balanced and private ecosystem. Looking at it from a Douglas Adam's perspective: already the treads of our landers could have ran their wheels over the heads of the Adam and Eve of a primordial garden of Eden (however that would be a great preemptive strike against martian invaders).

all you have to say when it comes to the US and South America is UFCO, and say it over and over.

about as much worth as our university system this SAT racket is.
If you really think about it "Democracy" might be today what "Communism" was 50 years ago, sans any real opposition.
