"Homeland Security officials, who anticipate that private emergency meetings may need to be scheduled on short notice" makes it sound as if their problem is operational time constraints. Something sensible people can hardly disagree with. While what they REALLY want to bury is the public accountability part of it!
Hahahaha!
Show me a programmer who does NOT build in at least a dozen backdoors in his work!
And how many programmers were working on Vista, did you say...?
'Frivolous' lawsuits like this - facilitated by the system - are a clear sign of the fascism that is developing alarmingly fast in American society.
Very scary!
DRM will be a problem only to those who are foolish enough to commit to it. And don't even start with that stale cop out 'I had no choice, I HAD to because of work/study'. That's BS. Everybody has a choice: be your independent self or become a Faust!
It's easy enough: if you see a trap, avoid it...!
...radically more efficient methods of propulsion if "we're" ever to get past 'crawling' around in our astronomical backyard: earth orbit, the moon, and maybe, maybe Mars. Chemical propulsion is like a kid's tricycle: yep, it moves. But you won't get far on it.
Just about EVERY address outside north America or the UK is missing, my friend. Add these 5,8 billion people's homes and you may speak of a global system. Not before.
so this - and Google's entry - are perhaps a 'proof of concept', but definitely no more than that. The real work is only beginning! So I guess we'll be a few years yet before a really good - read: globally useable - 'product'.
If one steals time (=money) from one's boss, one is an ordinary thief. A criminal, who steals from his/her boss, from his/her co-workers, and from society at large.
Stealing is anti-social behaviour.

'the CD-ROM size fuel cell will replace the drive' ...crippling the laptop...
Wow! That'll scare 'm off....
Of course not! Google is BIG, it's a company, and its American!

...for infringement of civil liberties! Because if you don't, you will have effectively allowed fascism into the system!

prolly WAS a 10 year old...
...and that doesn't start off this classic "Mac vs. PC-discussion" on an ideal footing, imho.

Funny that, in hindsight, esa's 20-year old concept seems the wiser strategy . . . !
