Along the same lines, how about the "metadata" is put up on a public website immediately. For example, as soon as one of the police cameras start recording, there would be a log entry on a public website which would show activation time, officer who activated the camera, and termination time, plus a checksum for the newly completed video. That way, when evidence is needed, we can tell if the video has been edited/altered, and there is also a public record of who and when the camera was used. Then the officer can't simply say "we weren't recording during the altercation" or whatnot. You would also be able to see if the camera was activated while approaching someone, then switched off for 5 minutes, and then reactivated and now there is a guy bleeding on the ground. Any arrest made without a complete record, could be tossed out.
But. What could the costs really be other than what they paid for the site? Subtract that, and you got what? 5 "editors" at say $80,000/yr (which is insane for how little they do, should be $30,000) So $80k x 5 is 400k/year total. Hosting should be in house. Bandwidth costs are practically non-existent, and server maintenance should be done by the editors cause they're "geeky". If they couldn't handle something as simple as that, they shouldn't even be here. I don't see the issue. I ran a site that got millions of unique users per month for damn near nothing but my personal time and the cost of an internet connection (~$80/mo). If they're losing millions, they're doing it wrong. Way wrong.
Grover Cleveland "Cleve" Backster, Jr. (February 27, 1924 – June 24, 2013) was an interrogation specialist for the Central Investigation Agency (CIA), best known for his experiments with plants using a polygraph instrument in the 1960s which led to his theory of "primary perception" where he claimed that plants "feel pain" and have extrasensory perception (ESP), which was widely reported in the media but was rejected by the scientific community.
Rejected by the scientific community. Seems pretty definitive to me.
True. I am sitting in Japan right now, and we are having a typhoon. We expect another one tomorrow. (seriously, check the weather reports). No issues with buildings blowing down here. Steel reinforced concrete will stop any problems with wind you might have. Granted, it won't float during a flood, but at least after the waters recede your house will still be there:)
The house I am in is constructed of wood. We used 2x6s instead of 2x4s and 2x10s instead of 2x6s. Hurricane ties on the roof, asphalt shingles, fiberboard siding. House has lasted through at least 20 typhoons in 10 years with zero damage. Just build your house right and it will survive.
If this program was to replace all those heavy books, or give them access to the grand sum of human knowledge, then they should have gone for a kindle or sony ebook reader. Load the year's books onto it, and allow wifi internet access. Problem solved.
Exactly. I have completely gotten used to the 2 clipboard model. One on the right click copy, and/or ctrl+c, and one on the highlight then middle click mode which is good for more immediate uses. Would love it if Windows/OSX implemented something like that.
As much as I used CTRL+ALT+BKSP to kill X, CTRL+ALT++ or - were NOT to zoom in or out. Those keystrokes switched between desktop resolutions. From say, 1200x900 to 1024x760 to 800x600, etc... only switched between modelines specified in the config file. Yes handy, but they essentially redrew the screen but since most window managers couldn't handle it, things got messy quick.
I may be wrong, but I believe you can re-enable the C+A+B and C+A++ C+A+- by adding an/etc/X11/xorg.cfg file with the appropriate options enabled.
Women have boobs. People jerk off. Stop trying to hide obvious human sexuality issues from everyone. EVERYONE does this stuff. Why hide it? This puritan crap needs to go away.
What kind of argument is that?!? Did you have textbooks that had color in them? Color doesn't matter in anything but science books, and even then, it can be worked around. Ebook (e-ink) readers would rock for that sort of application.
The Xbox on the other hand is again giving the impression of the bro-gamer misogynistic platform... again. Hopefully they'll realize this is going to completely alienate the Japanese market.
Hahaha. Every single Xbox have failed in the Japanese market since all their games were US titles translated for the Japanese marked so they didn't make any sense at all. Most of the PS3's titles started as Japanese games and were ported to the US. Hence the large US Xbox market, and the large Japanese ps3 market.
If I go to a game shop here in Japan, you see aisles and aisles of PS3, PS2, Nintendo (DS, 3DS, Wii, WiiU) games, and like, 2, 2 meter long shelves of Xbox (all inclusive) games.
The Wii and WiiU are doing just fine here in Japan since the Japanese love gimmicks.
If the owner/publisher released the game for free also, then it is perfectly fine to copy since it is an authorized release? Sounds like it's free to me.

Wow.. I totally forgot about those. And I HAD one. Timex Datalink. Talk about a walk down memory lane... Thanks! :)

Yah you know me!
Yah, except for my Western Digital Green which failed 3 days after the warranty expired. And similar accounts on newegg...

So what you're saying, is that people are the problem.
So don't bother unless you want to read a dry paper.

When did hacking turn into "Cyber-terrorism"? Has the world gone stupid?
Ahh, but you would have control! :)
I disagree. Any self respecting nerd SHOULD buy one of these. Then publish an app to overclock it for every application.
What kind of argument is that?!? Did you have textbooks that had color in them? Color doesn't matter in anything but science books, and even then, it can be worked around. Ebook (e-ink) readers would rock for that sort of application.
Was just going to post that same link.
Middle click instead. That will open your link in a new tab and the original will be preserved.
