Everyone should have an ultra-secure smart phone. Get the costs down and make it a standard feature for smartphones. It shouldn't be something only for the gov.
They pushed the world further from war. Because various countries are able to sabotage and assassinate to slow down the Iranian nuclear project...an all out military option has not be used as of yet. You can bet your ass...that there would have been one by now had there not been options like Stuxnet.
by probability alone, it is almost a certainty that there exist a significant number of life forms that are more intelligent and more technologically advanced than we are....but even if they are of our intelligence...it is almost certain that some may be 10,000 or 100,000, or 1,000,000 years further along in terms of technological achievement.
There are probably billions of worlds with life...and probably millions of worlds with intelligent life...yet the best we can probably ever do is find indirect evidence of their existence. Makes me kind of sad. Still we should continue trying.
They're waiting on Google to open source their autonomous car OS...so that Google can make money on the ads it can display to your surfing the web, checking email, or watching youtube videos...instead of driving.
You forget that there are plenty of non human things that can go wrong: A) Electronics can fail. Even redundant systems can fail. B) Mechanics can fail in a way that the electronics aren't programmed to handle. C) Environmental/External factors (i.e. EMP, sunflares, viruses, trojans, etc) can corrupt the required processing/communications.
Until you've been through the altered psychological state that these and other drugs produce, it's hard to imagine the way in which it changes your thought patterns. It's not always possible to recognize your thought patterns as disturbed or to rationalize them away...or to surpress the urges associated with them.
If money's not a scare resource...as it isn't for many of us in the engineering/IT world...I can't see why I wouldn't pay a few hundred or a few thousand dollars to do something that has a small chance of being a life saver.
Will we soon have a Facebook app for this? Each morning when you log in to Facebook, you will see wanted fugitives in your area. If you spot them, report it, and prize money will filter down to you. Creepy.
geez...let them first attempt a relaxed version of the problem space before going for the uber hard version of the problem space. Anyways, the goal here is more about exploring the business model and social models that arise from successful team efforts...not the ability of a lone spotter to find a fugitive in a crowd.
yes...but not something you would like the US government to be able to trace back to you.
Seems likely though that there will be proxy payment systems and Tor like tunnels that will clean your identify from your money before it is passed along to it's final destination.

ahhh...hedging your bets...are you? ...bet you won't bet both testicals...will ya?
This is what happens when we all stand our ground...until the end. A pointless law.
Everyone is friends when lots of drinking is involved....

at least they're not the 'old' Microsoft. The 'new' one is much better. :P

America is all about "security", Canada is all about commie socialized "insurance" hehe

strangely...while the number of people with autism is increasing....then number of engineers in America is on the decline.

I don't have any friends who have PCs.
should have written....we have all these technologies....yet we still have physical keys?

it's where you put your precious...my precious....
same think happened with nuclear tech.
yes...but not something you would like the US government to be able to trace back to you.

we all want our man caves.
yes..but if there's a tornado or hurricane, a cave has a lower chance of being blown away.
if anyone has to be fired...it should be the parent.
we have criminalized everything these days...and our jails are over crowded.
