Your hubris makes you think you can implement better security than a cloud provider who's business hinges on their reputation for security.
Google has everything to lose and an army of security professionals to mitigate that risk. You only have your house and your one human brain.
Good luck.
FPV and drove aircraft operators love gadgets that help them with their flights such as GPS, antenna tracking functionality and on-screen displays.
The FAA should provide free GPS-enabled beacons that would let the government track these aircraft in real-time.
Hobbyists (myself included) would jump at free gear that would allow them to track lost aircraft (too late for my plane, I'm afraid!).
FAA could throw in some special sauce like ability to remotely enable loiter mode, auto-land, perhaps fly predetermined routes (DIY Drones stuff has much of this capability already)
I can live with having to obey the laws of the air at the expense of carrying some free gadgets on my aircraft.
They do, but they don't have to.
We have the technology today to form virtual trains that would cut the cost of fuel, even at high speeds, way down via drafting.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
Add lane keeping, highly responsive cruise control, and some way to pay the guy in front that is burning all the fuel, and you have a system that is WAY more flexible than any mass-transit system along with similar efficiency benefits.
Pacific is one of the most dangerous oceans in the world
Whaa? Not that I agree with Hydrofoils but, thought I'd point out that the name "Pacific" means calm. And it is, compared to the Atlantic, and probably other oceans I am not familiar with.
The tiny sums mentioned in the article were a surprise. If it can be that cheap to make significant progress on such an intractable problem, imagine what some serious dough could do! Christopher and Dana Reeve foundation have some resources.
...practical jokes at work (PIR sensor and speakers, LEDs and servo hooked up) and sometimes linux test box.
Would like a camera that works more seamlessly with OpenCV though.
1) Remodeling - just walk into your bathroom, wave the phone around, go to hardware store and ask your phone, "How many 4" tiles do I need"
2) Digitize custom Lego models.... or your house.
3) My weed-wacker has a broken plastic bit, scan the bit, edit it to not be fractured, tell someone with a 3D printer to send me an un-broken version.
you're welcome.
Exactly what happened to my first Nexus 7 though I didn't realize it at the time. Same thing happened to its replacement but, I opened the replacement and fixed the sliding battery problem with some foam. Has not been a problem since.
I haven't read Dawkins but I read a book by Susan Blackmore years ago that sticks in my brain still - "The Meme-Machine" :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Meme_Machine
Ahh the forward is by Dawkins:-)
Anyway, the idea is that the evolution of humanity is now primarily driven by survival of the fittest memes.
I think the collection of Science memes would be gaining on the Religion memes if it weren't for the fact that humans who have been infected with the Religion meme seem more likely to reproduce.
Google does let you edit drive documents offline using the Google play android app. You do have to specify what docs you want available offline though.
I love Steam because I don't have to hassle with selling my used games. It does not bother me in the least because I never pay over $15 for a game. They frequently have great sales and you can build an awesome library with very little money.
A console that would work the same way would be a great thing. Of course, Sony needs to work on their security... and their game prices!
But a patient's belief that the placebo works is required for it to work!
You want Aussies to get their placebos from unaccredited hacks? The "drugs" will likely work better if they come from graduates!
Healing is a great deal more about psychology than most slashdotters would like to admit. It's a messy business, studying the human mind. The hard sciences have difficulty dealing with something so complex.
Minnesota is one of the places on earth that suffer the widest temperature variation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Minnesota_weather_records
71 deg F change in one day
Highest temp = 114 deg F on July 6th 1936
Lowest = -60 deg F on Feb 6th, 1996 - I was in Duluth for that one. Exposed skin got damaged quickly.
Variety is the spice of life:-)
I quite like a lot of the shows, movies, video games and such that the US produces. I hope these businesses can work out a method to get recompensed for their considerable effort and investment so they can continue generating more. I find older Xbox 360 games quite reasonably priced but since PC games have no secondary value, due to DRM, they should cost even less. Instead, they somehow cost more. So, I play less and less PC games despite the existence of non-evil DRM schemes like Steam. Netflix is quite a reasonable cost for entertainment. Music is currently way overpriced for the investment required but piracy is helping publishers understand the true value of downloaded music.. Hint: it's close to free.
I use handbrake to create videos for PSP. The PSP presets were broken in Handbrake 9.3 and they completely removed them in 9.4. I can't find any online posting indicating that anyone can create PSP-compatible vids using 9.4 so, on my new Windows 7 system, I need to run handbrake 9.3 in XP compatibility mode in order to create PSP-ready vids. Handbrake devs cited the fact that none of the devs owned a PSP and that it was just too much work to ship presets for it in version 9.4. You get what you pay for...
I have Windows Media Center on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit connecting to Xbox360 and it does NOT just work. It's constantly adding videos to the library and videos that are in my video library do not show up. Viewing my photo collection is painfully slow over 100mb wired ethernet. I do not understand how people can like that software! Of course, I must be doing something wrong but how does one troubleshoot MS software...?

I can't say I'm not unsurprised by the existence of the lack of that word in the document.

Security is the reason I've disabled all the direction blinkers on my car. Am I going left or am I going right? Wouldn't you like to know!

Folding bikes are a godsend in certain situations and even IF they have slightly poorer handling than a regular bike, they sure beat walking!
I read "Could Ancient Pottery Improve Starcraft Tiles".
Just install Starcraft2. The new tiles are excellent!

Hate to ensmallen your soul but, you are using a word made up by "The Simpsons" writers without any trace of irony.
