To grow markets for new products as quickly as possible, giving away all the key elements may be the best strategy. Keeping prices at zero means the barriers to adoption and marketing through personal networks are negated. Money can be made from selling distributions, instructions, and customizations, and this approach is also competitive from the start. Instead of creating a kind of dam for intellectual properties where flow is controlled and limited, letting innovations flow free while taking fractional advantage of them might have better yields. Future competition is likely to be more about rate of innovation, sustaining relevance, and having a trustworthy reputation than holding keys and keeping doors locked.
There should be a standard mechanism included with these components for discharging this system when everything needs to be recycled, otherwise there are likely to be some nasty shocks.
ASUS has always shipped primo hardware and now they have been hitting low price points, too. Could they become a major competitor against Apple, especially if some relatively straightforward hacks for putting oh-ess-ecks on their machines get published?
It is true that by offering a solution to a problem a conflict of interest is introduced, but there is more to this piece than just that. In describing problems of network growth the author Lawrence G. Roberts makes references to different types of network traffic having different impacts on networking equipment. Responding to these specific challenges implies that the desirability of networking equipment which can respond to, such as by throttling, network usage based on packet information such as the data, the type, the application, and the source. The only real difference is that in this specific context he is putting forward a solution for dealing with the short to medium term needs that happens to be compatible with network neutrality. If one accepts what he says about problems with networking traffic then the questions about network neutrality seem to be a matter of when it will be lost and not if.
He also implies that latency is a serious problem for particular applications that involve real time control, but that is a complex issue that depends very much on how much data is needed to drive the application and how much sophistication is integrated into the remote client instead of being present only at the server.
That is very interesting information as I have never heard of such large vehicles being lifted like that, but the criteria for residential permits are much more strict than commercial. You are right that the basic technical challenges have been solved. The problem is agreeing on an acceptable level of safety. Vehicles do burst into flames from time to time, and this happening part way up a residential tower full of people who might be disabled makes for a potentially challenging situation for emergency responders. In our current terror-whipped state it is also worth pointing out that car bombs are some of the most common and deadly weapons being used.
Building codes in NYC are very strict, and my understanding is none of these plans have been or are likely to be approved because of the inherent fire risk associated with operable vehicles. Garages require excessive additional fire protections already, and fire is one of the greatest risks to life in tall buildings. With enough shielding and sprinkler cover it might be possible to pull this off, but even for the super rich that might not be cost effective.
It seems there is no video or pictures to share of this, so there is a link to a large video of a demo of some other small flyer that requires a custom player download. This is a good example of modern gotcha journalism where being anxious for clicks and page views and movie downloads to drive their advertising model causes lots of incomplete, poorly edited, or barely relevant material to be included. Using video instead of text is particularly important since that offers a way around most ad blocking technologies.
The earliest elements of modern industrialization began in the 1800s starting in England and spreading to other nations including France, Germany, and the US. What goes on in Silicon Valley is a particular specialized form of this that is particularly prevelent in the US where places of higher learning are used to increase the pace and quality of research and development, thus advancing the possibilities for industry.
For those who are not familiar with the operations of Moffet Field, it is adjacent to some very dense populations. Because of this there have been ongoing campaigns to limit use of the field to noncommercial aircraft and focus on development of research facilities there. This usage of the airfield by Google is in direct conflict with the long stated desire by the community to have commercial aircraft use commercial aviation facilities. Negative reactions to this have nothing to do with jealousy, but rather are about appropriate use and regulation of land and airspace. In this case a resource that has been constructed and maintained by the public at great cost is being use in a manner that the surrounding community has repeatedly strongly rejected.
People change their social networks all the time. With this in place, you wouldn't be able to just "wash that man out of your hair", but you would have to go online, identify yourself, proceed with authentication, and then click around to make the changes. In addition to big changes in social networks being laborious to enter, their implications grow as well. What about the folks who relied on your network to reach others? Will they give you negative feedback for moving on? This idea seems to be based on a hackneyed understanding of how human relationships grow, evolve, and sometimes just fall away in large numbers. Very young or socially challenged people seem like the only potential customers.
To really try to solve this problem the representation of relationships would have to be automatically generated, and that gets creepy really fast since it would mean having computer applications track all significant interactions with others.
Once everything is run through one or more virtual layers, direct access to devices through the drivers can be discarded in favor of controlled interfaces. This could enable high security abstractions such as being able to view DVDs without being able to subvert country codes or grab individual frames or being able to listen to music streams without the ability to capture the digital content that drives the audio. Perhaps virtualization could also be a strategy for a simple yet secure messaging sytem that could defeat spam?
This proposal only applies to situations where cameras are in use for more than a half hour. This means that nearly all situations people have brought up as potential conflicts are unrelated to this proposal.
Anyone who has spent much time trying to actually live or do business in NYC knows that sidewalks are often blocked either partially or fully for photography sessions. Most often this is done by advertising agencies in order to be use NYC and its crowds as a backdrop. Essentially they are making use of a public resource in order to produce private products, so this proposed regulation is yet another attempt to avoid the worst of an ongoing tragedy of the commons.
The way this is getting blown up into a massive homeland security basic rights breach is an unfortunate demonstration of the stupid and reactive nature of the masses. Slashdot is supposed to have people actually using their heads, yet hardly anyone has actually read the proposal that stirred this up or seriously attempted to interpret what it might mean.
The gold standard for opposition to an idea is to present a better one. Significant numbers of photographic sessions are to take place on some of the most busy streets in NYC. What is your proposal for avoiding chaos? Is asking for official notification in this way a bad way of mediating this conflict? Then what is a good way?
Research shows that most pimps live with their mothers in order to pay the rent. They also fail quickly if they mess with the merchandise. The ghetto worship that leads to this terminology has everything backwards.
By showing photographic evidence of the scale of the tragedy they can be forced to see, thus know and understand, and caring has as much to do with how their citizens react as anything else. Your idea is that citizens are all helpless victims of ongoing conspiracies, but the reality is that we are all responsible for what our governments do collectively and we as citizens have a wide range of techniques to influence international governments. It sounds more like you are the one who doesn't care, possibly because that might mean having to do something more than just trolling slashdot.
Using satellites to track what is going on with Darfur is interesting for two important reasons. First, based on what reports have been confirmed, the number of people being killed in the conflict in Darfur appears to be larger than any other conflict on the globe at this time. Although the moral issues have some relation to each other, there is some difference between the genocidal murder of millions and the torture of a few hundred or so at Guantanamo. Second, information flow out of Darfur has successfully been restricted. This means that alternative information sources should be considered.
Based on your response you have little interest in either technology or humanitarian activities. In attempting to put Bosnia back together at some level satellite images have been critical in documenting what happened and assisting with recovery of bodies from mass graves. This means that this technological approach which you deride has already been shown to be extremely useful in helping people recover from all too common instances of genocide. Yet even with this proven record you would dare to suggest this is just some technological gimmick that somehow interferes with humanitarian goals.
Specifically in this case it seems that of the 17 available localizations only Japanese in an initial release form is currently available for the 3.0 version. The most recent available Polish versions are for 2.20 and 2.18 which is as fresh as any other localized package apart from Japanese. This is another example of localization trailing development instead of being integrated with it. (Reference: bugzilla download localizations)

So smile, smile, smile, especially while you take your shoes off as ordered and surrender your fluids. Or just drive instead.
That this tautology can be considered news is perhaps more interesting.

Let's not go to Harvard. It is a silly place.
Studies show that most pimps live with their mothers, so why bother?
All this talk of technology and free software is a distraction. What really matters is our preparations and readiness for war.
