There's got to be a better way to confirm the existence or non-existence of such must-avoid intersections.
Live traffic data I suppose. Traffic signals will calculate degree of saturation from dwell times on induction loop vehicle detectors. In most systems that data is passed up the chain to the software which does strategic traffic management. I have been out of the area for a while but I assume the live data is extracted at this point and aggregated into these live traffic data sets.
This is done in Japan actually - a system called VICS feeds live traffic data back into navigation systems. Granted they have the advantage of standardization and a much smaller traffic network, but I don't see why it couldn't work in the states.
The kicker for me is that I just bought a big Toshiba LCD TV and it has no HDMI input.
(Toshiba is one of the major backers of HD-DVD - thanks guys.)
On the brighter side - my TV runs Linux:) I should ask them for the source code...
Perhaps somebody from Canada can enlighten as to the "public service" status of Internet access? Is it regulated as a public good?
Not trolling, just don't know. I suspect this is part of the fear of making Internet access public in the US as well - if government regulates, "think of the children!" takes over and everybody loses. A few other posters have already mentioned that voting with dollars makes more sense, provided you have alternatives.
Despite how often we trash the RIAA etc. for their (misguided) attempts to defend copyrights, this just proves that if you treat your customers well and produce quality products, you'll be paid back. I'da turned 'em in too. Rock on Nintendo.
This is just silly. (actually just greedy) Vodafone already sells phones that have TV tuners built into them - the image is adjusted to fit the resolution of the screen. You can buy them here in Japan, I presume other countries as well. To have Fox create something for this "new 3G service" just means a new revenue stream. Just build the tuner into the phone, let people pick up the TV they want. (TV sucks the world over though, just seems like a waste of precious battery time)
There is a department store here in Japan called 0101 (Marui-marui) - when I first got here, I wasn't sure what to call it, and the geek in me asked somebody, what do they sell at 5? (10...) Needless to say, that's only funny to one of the 10 types of people.
LDP cronies, especially Ministry of Finance, are on record supporting Bush. The reasoning here is pretty simple - to buttress their fragile export-driven economy, the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Japan engage in the largest currency market intervention in history (Somewhere in the range of 15 trillion yen in the first 3 months of this year) by selling yen (buying dollars). A weaker yen means Japanese goods are cheaper; people buy more of their stuff. The G8 and the world in general aren't terribly happy about this, and Kerry has said he doesn't support this type of intervention. Bush is putting up with it (because Japan is propping up the dollar) and Koizumi spent a hell of a lot of political capital to support Bush's war. As parent post sites, the vast majority of the population here (and most of the world for that matter) were outspokenly against the war.
According to Wikipedia, his proof of this surfaced around 2002 and he was lecturing on it in 2003. I guess it's not new news per se, but a Millennium prize problem is a big deal no matter how you look at it.
So instead of actually going OUT and meeting people in your neighborhood, you can all get together and chat online. Just what the world needs, more isolationism. (he says posting on slashdot)
I can see it now, instead of the "Welcome to the Neighborhood!" cake, you get a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" email.
Actually, that was a poor link - this is from a 1997 article. Once you've had robo-toilet, there really is no going back. Adoption of data-sharing robo-toilet I would guess will not get off the ground very far:

"This is the DEA. We have evidence suggesting that you've been smoking marijuana again. Put your hands in the air."
Why not spend the money on AID
research or prevention?
They can't. Bushie's conservative reich cut off funding for prevention programs if they don't stick to a strictly "abstinence only" approach. Probably one of Darth "Go F*ck Yourself" Cheney's first acts of bringing decency back to the white house.
It startles me to see that Microsoft gave more this year to the Dems...
But not that much. The financial company I work for gives similarly - to both parties - though they tend to favor the incumbent. Makes sense I suppose, you can pay for your legislation with either party, but you don't have to work as hard to bribe the party already in power...

Unless you enjoy what he has to say, stop feeding money to this guy.

When will they get to Japan though? It's even in the FAQ
Oh well, the service (esp. the Keyhole stuff) rocks. Keep up the good work guys!
Oh and Dude, oriental is not the preferred nomenclature...
Does he have a brother named Goatse? /kidding...
My family wouldn't know what "boot from this cd" means. Good luck!

Harvard likely doesn't need it - they've got a fairly big endowment.
It puts the lotion on its skin...
Slightly off topic, but can you imagine how bad jet lag would be on such a trip? At least a 14 hour flight provides some time to sleep...
You can be if you did in the US then left the country - depends on the situation and the extradition treaty of the country you fled to.
The idea is that he was committing crimes inside the United States - the fact that he resides in Australia means he needs to be extradited.According to Wikipedia, his proof of this surfaced around 2002 and he was lecturing on it in 2003.

I guess it was only a matter of time. Now I need some kind of pop-up blocker!
Hmm...maybe a tinfoil hat will work??

"Those customers, they're smart, and they're costing us money." God that's frightening...truly a sign of the times.
