There are many digital library systems that work like this. However, they put a lock on the file so no one can read it simulataneously.. Or let's say the library owns 3 physical copies, it will allow 3 people to view the electronic copy at a time. However, Google doesn't seem to be putting this restriction nor are they purchasing the books.
And obviously those drivers without cell phones won't appear at all. I don't know exactly how they do it here in Seattle, but we have live automated traffic monitoring in Seattle that (I believe) uses the cameras on the freeway. http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle/
You think there could be methods such as motion detectors or those rubber things you run over when they count the number of cars that go through intersections.
I think it comes down to proving negligence. If you can prove that the person was aware of a problem or risk (or took reasonable efforts to discover the these) and chose not to address it, then they should be responsible.
I also had to call twice to their "big guns" under our University license at my old job and those guys were amazing... incredibly experienced, smart techies... just makes you laugh at the somewhat mediocre tech support that companies put on their home-user support.
This is simply not true. For as much his net worth, he donates quite a bit and actually lives in a very humble house (compared to the size/location that he *could* live in). The B&M Gates Foundation donates quite a bit of money. It's one thing to criticize Microsoft and their business practices, but another to criticize a person who does a whole hell of a lot for his community and could get away with doing a lot less.
That's like saying that you shouldn't have educational games that teach anything that is a profession.. because being good at any profession is more than being able to go through the motions.
If you have a game that learns about the body, you're not a doctor.. but it may get people interested in becoming a doctor someday. I think this game is the same... you do it and enjoy it, you may enjoy being a programmer some day.
You've had IE crash Windows XP? I've had IE crash (as well as Firefox)... Firefox also causes all instances of Firefox to crash, while IE runs each instance under its own thread, so most times it only crashes that one instance... But I've never had it give me a BSOD.
I used to be a big fan of Notepad++, but this really helps me reduce my programming time by leveraging intellisense as well as database connectivity right in the package. They have a Beta out of their newest version that you might want to download to try.
Did you read the article? This isn't about their security patches or updates (or anything Windows Update related), it's about their software development lifecycle - it's more about scope than anything.
They need to reduce scope to allow faster development time to get products out to market faster. Obviously this is a double-edged sword. The faster the release, the lower the features - people get pissed off because their buying a new version every year... but I think they've realized, 5 years between OS releases is too much time.
I believe their stance is: Critical updates for everyone, new features for "Genuine Windows Only."
So a new program, you have to validate, but a bug fix - for all.
The data is stored in an XML file. It would allow you to edit the XML file directly (instead of an internal DB), but I'm sure that most (if not all) would be able to be configured via a GUI.
This goes with some scholar's definition of information - Information is no longer information if it stops circulating/being used.
But this is really flawed, as you state that information changes. No one may care about the census data now, but 100 years from now, it could be very useful. I don't want my census data from 2000 meshed with my census data from 2100.
And as the responder states, we may want the chicken soup from 50 years ago... without all the additives and chemicals added.
Laptops were crucial in my courses. It was great to be able to quickly bring up references, look up topics online while the prof was speaking. I even collaborated with other students using OneNote to write our notes. The Mac people used subetaedit + rendevous (bonjour now) and we would publish our notes right after lecture.
Yes, people would browse sites and play games -- but don't look at their computers. It's no different than someone drawing pictures while in lecture. It's ignorant to think that we all have the same learning styles. We all pay money to come to class, if they want to pay their money and sleep - let them sleep.
OMG No.. It's freaking awesome! A lot of new features that weren't in Keyhole, like flying a driving route. Plus it integrates with Google now and you can get streaming layers - it's really nice.

Although funny, I don't think that's the point of this system. It's just to detect the flow of traffic.

It's not Google that is doing this.
How the hell did this get modded as "Insightful?" Funny.. okay, but INSIGHTFUL!?

Really? Have you never heard of Therac-25?

When it comes to a development tool for PHP, I know no better than Zend Studio http://www.zend.com/store/products/zend-studio/

Love how we all think the US should control the Internet.
I guess this also means C could sniff all the packets and put together all the files passing through it.
You don't?

The question isn't - why did Microsoft not put this into XP Home but why does Worms 2 require administrative rights (other than just installing)?
