Your statement just raised another security problem -- As public are made known of these High-Tech-Knows-It-All cameras, they might be relying more on these for protection, rather than the good-old common sense.
TouristA: Hmm... that suitcase over there has been left alone for a while TouristB: Don't worry, I'm sure it'll be picked up soon by the security camera.
I wonder how it detects an unattended package. If said package is left in a crowded area, will the system be confused that such package is still being "attended" by moving traffic?
As long as it doesn't require me to stop and watch the ad, I don't think in-game ad is anything but a subliminal background noise.
For example, I don't mind constantly seeing the terrorists smoking xx-brand of cigaratte, but if my GhostRecon team has to stop every 5 minutes and gather around to have a smokey, I will be pissed.
If you're working in a hotel room, I assumed it will be paid for by the company and most likely comes with internet connection.
So is it not possible to use VNC/RDP to access your servers? Apparently it won't work if you need physical access to the server.
I too, am having a similar problem. I'll be working in up to 4 locations soon, and I'm leaning towards setting up a server in one location, and remotely log on and do all my works via the internet. This is aided by the fact that all locations have reasonable broadband connection.
This way I can just bring a lightweight PIII laptop with me, and use whatever keyboard, mouse and monitor that are available in each location.
Obviously this arrangement will be rendered useless in case of a WAN outage, but if I ever lost/dropped/forgot-to-bring my laptop, my data will be intact and I still have other means to access them.
For commercial sites, it's all about ROI. So your PHB is unlikely to approve any spending unless you can prove significant loss of sales as a result of non-compliance.
On the other hand, if I'm building a site in my spare time, and it's targetted at Slashdot audience, I would be very careful with all the standards because (1) I can approve my own time and (2) I am more concerned about peers' feedback than ROI.
I guess it's the humanization of the site that makes you care about compliance.
Is this real or just MPAA making false press releases to scare people off?
I wonder if FedEx will be so keen when this thing goes live and 80% of the packages have to be opened, inspected and sealed, and the number of phone calls from customers asking why.
First of all, the summary failed to mention this is a flat-rate plan, and it's currently on internal trial. So this gives possibilities of a data-usage plan which allows VoIP, or when the service finally rolls out, the company will simply drop this restriction if the trial indicates a negative support.
ISRO Chairman: "We (ISRO and NASA) would like to see how best we can avoid duplication of efforts, especially in areas like earth observation and space sciences."
It sounds great, but it can also be seen as piggybacking on NASA's technology.
So what does NASA stand to benefit? To prove that they did land on the moon?
Whatever the outcome, I'm sure the loser will be entitled to use the SaddyFace.
And since this is a trademark dispute, can't SmileyWorld keep selling its smiley icons while Wal-Mart keep sellings its items. I don't see a dispute here unless Wal-Mart employees start smiling.

I think it's asking to be broken, and I bet it will be.
Not.
Yes very funny, you don't know how many bottles of champagne were popped and subsequently wasted because of your delayed 'Not' comment.

I think the one broken leg that RIAA has is songs are recorded in the memory, so it's not a traditional radio broadcast.
I wonder if RIAA won this case, would it affect MP3 players which allow recording of radio?
I think this P2P Finance will only work if P2P Muscle is also implemented at the same time.
Imagine if you can log on to BeatTorrent, hook up with a few peers living near your debtor, and get them to show your debtor some muscles.

I can't imagine how this is able to compete with existing financial providers.
First of all, how many bad debts can these peers handle? Large corporations have enough cash to handle bad or delayed debts.
Unlike other successful P2P services, this model is entering a market where existing businesses are making a living out of it.

I bet this question has been asked many times, but here goes:
Why was it possible to go to the moon in '69 but not possible now even using the same old technology? Has the moon/earth/atmostphere/space changed?
Is there a constructive reason for such prediction? Will Merrill Lynch get a prize or something if the prediction is correct?
We already have Google popping up in every 3rd article, now we have Wii.
I think if Wii really sold 10 million units in the first year, any dev will 'get' it.
Alarmingly women's attractiveness judgments specifically track both men's affinity for children and men's hormone concentrations, like him?
How long until someone got a mod to have naked fashion?

So it's better to name it 34B?
That's why I said the summary failed to mention one important factor, that is this new plan is a flat-rate plan.
With such a plan, you can make voice calls via VoIP at a fixed monthly fee, or TXT-via-IM without incurring additional charges.

Couldn't agree more!
Here's my routine:
8am: black coffee
10am: water
12pm: tea (with lunch)
1pm: water
3pm: black coffee
I thought it was an appropriate comparison.
