First you need a law that says if you can get a "calibrated" radar reading and a picture you can issue a ticket to the owner of the vehicle.
Note that with the radar photo thing you cannot identify the driver. You need a law that says you can issue a ticket to the vehicle owner by mail or the equivalent and you do not need an officer actually chasing down the speeding vehicle.
Nice move Apple. This means your competitors phones will not be able to be disabled but apple phones will be. That means people should be buying non-Apple phones to avoid the disable "feature".
Of course competitors could license the technology but it sure seems like a good selling feature for non-apple phone. "Look we don't have the remote disable technology"
If you were on pluto with you cell phone there are antennas on earth that could receive you. Sure the scanner in the store may have a range of a couple of inches. If some black hat wants to hide an antenna in the back of a white van he is going to be able to read RFID tags from across the street.
Arguments about "small signal strength" are only relative. If the information is important enough someone is going to find a way to access it from the distance they need. The problem of isolation of a signal from a cloud of other signals is also then a problem of directionality and local isolation. A highly directional antenna and a line up of people going through a turnstyle make a way to isolate targets.
Criminals could setup a hidden antenna pointed at a turnstyle in subway system.
It will happen when the information becomes valuable enough for the criminals to take the effort.
Current technology is based on a single planar layer of silicon substrate. A chips is built with a metal interconnect on top. But the base layers are essentially a 2D structure. We are already postprocessing things with thru vias to stack substrates into a single package. The increases density from the package perspective. Increasing technologies in stacking will keep Moors law going for another decade (as long as you consider Moor's law to be referencing density in 2D).
The "gift card" had been exchanged. The money transaction is for the in game PLEX item. What you do with the PLEX in the game is up to the player who has it.
The problem is if you are stupid, like this guy you can lose the in game item. The in game item is usable and destructible, that is the game. That is nobodies fault but the players. He did not have to transport them this way. He could have used them in safe station dock if he wanted the actual PLEX as opposed to the isk..
The destructibility is part of the definition of the game item. To bad. That's EVE, MMORPG hard knocks.
There are a myrad of confusing options. The only real solution is the really high end that does everything costs the most. Anything else is "it might work". It can also be sold with the "you are going to get the 4K TV someday arn't you?" approach.
There is only one solution and it will cost the consumer. It was planed that way. Are we surprised ?
So if google is filtering "material deemed a threat to national security or social stability" from within China. Can we on the outside set it up so we can only browse the material that would be filtered within China. I think it would be educational to browse a volume of material that was "deemed a threat to national security or social stability" of China, it might also be a source of much amusement.
In the anechoic chamber there is going to be one source of RF and there will be no reflections or other paths, only line of sight from antenna to antenna. In the real world you are exposed to far more RF. From your cell phone, from the cell phone of everyone else in the neighborhood, from the microwave oven, from every monitor, cpu and everything else.
The real danger in an anechoic chamber is sanity. The non-reflective cones also absorb acoustics, which make the space a very strange aural experience, which can do funny things to your brain. For one you feel really, really alone, you can't even hear the echo of your own voice.
In the video the hit boxes seem to lag a bit. Likely a processing lag. There needs to be a predictive part to get ahead of the processing lag so they can hit moving targets.

amusing, awesome and scary all at once, well 15 seconds at a time.

How can this even be moving forward. You can't bootleg something that has not happened yet.
Therefore the complaint is bogus.
Any citizen in the city should phone and complain to their representative about the waste of resources.
The producer AEG should be charged with filing a bogus complaint and made to pay for all the actions taken plus a penatly.
You ever see a human with a Zune?

So what are the laws concerning data resident on vessels under a foreign flag ?
Seems like a nice way to get pirate-bay like content really close to the US backbone.
I am really surprised news organizations have not started using these to cover situations.

Welcome to marketing ploy 101.

Are we surprised ?
> who are we to think we have that much power over the entire planet?
Ozone hole. Acid rain. Plastic Gyre. Rain Fores destruction. Species extinction. Desertification of large areas by agricultural practices.
We have done it many times.
The study does not address the cause of the warming.
We know no we have caused acid rain and the ozone hole by releasing different materials into the air.
We know that when we mess around with our environment whether it be with lead, pcbs, dioxins or really another chemical it causes problems.
Why do people find it so hard to believe that the incredible increase in atmospheric CO2 is not a problem?

Please explain how you buy open source. The source code is out there in the wild. New developers appear every day.
If you want to play the monopolist that will invite new people to step in and enter the market.
That is the beauty of open source. It is the ultimate opposition to monopolist behavior as it makes the barrier to entry effectively zero.
Of course there are the usual costs or starting a business but with open source there are no real barriers to market entry.
I can see that being exploited.
Advertising feeds are not generally considered high security. With a stop your OS type interrupt they are going to have to become very secure.

I expect this Optimus Prime will soon be destroyed due to an attack by a lawyer.
Fear the awesome power of lawyers.

Someone should ask the writers why they can stand outside on a summer's day and no be pounded into the pavement.
Both Starcraft II and WoW:Cataclysm are getting a through workout by the Blizzard beta testers. So you can expect they will continue to work fine.
A recent Wow patch even found a kernel bug. Bad handling of debug trap instruction.
I'm running Mass Effect 2 quite well.
Ubuntu 9.10 + Nvidia drivers.
Get steam and download a demo for a game if you want to see if it works for you.
The world is a nasty place. Come on people do your jobs as parents.
So no news allowed.
To much death and destruction.
So no religious content allowed.
It's going to mess up some kid for sure. Even if it is from the parents religion.
So no science allowed.
It's going to conflict with some parents notion of religion.
Target shooting shown is stationary.
