It seems that this is more removing that annoying ding when you don't put on your seatbelt and just leave the light on your dashboard, but make it dimmer.
I like the idea of the 3D printer mainly because I have 2 small kids and a dog, so toys are broken or chewed quite often. Being able to print new parts and figures overnight as a treat is a nice idea. My problem is the $4k price tag on one plus the plastics and other work once printed. I like it being popular because more and more things are being made for the hobby, but I'd like the demand to come down, and the price for the basics to get started.
Done the first day I heard this was a consideration and that all of my senators and representatives are backing the bill... Let your people know that you're watching and they'll need to answer for this. Call, email, write a letter. You can't bug these people enough.
My wife and I have the 2005 Toyota Prius (40+mpg) and are currently debating on whether to try for another. The cost for the vehicle is higher than a standard car, and the new regulations make newer cars almost as efficient (30+mpg) as the hybrids in city.
Our biggest issue has been the cost of repairs for the vehicle. The electric engine has given us more issues than the gas supplied side plus our other gas powered vehicle combined.
That is understandable, but these aren't small drones. One of them crashing into a house would cause significant damage.
I agree with others in this thread talking about a system that can use logic and a compass to figure out the signal is gone and the new signal is a decoy of sorts.
Did you even read the PDF that you linked? The paper is letting employers know that they can hire international students. When I was in school, we had a lot of international students that couldn't get jobs because nobody would hire them. They had to work on campus or for some charity for nil to nothing.
Read the articles before you go blast us with ignorance.
but I'm glad that someone is challenging them in this way. If you're going to have a device that is touted as one of the most powerful and useful, don't stifle the development community by rejecting the better applications they send your way.

I don't see how we will suffer for having a repository for information. I agree that it may be slightly annoying that we can't do anything in public without a camera in our faces... but it's public. I don't go outside with the expectation of not being seen.
I remember getting chewed out by a teacher because I had a 2% match on a 10 page paper...For my remaining years I was considered somebody to watch thanks to this service and the brain dead people who use it.
Wow, things have changed. This service seems good for students to check and make sure they aren't submitting something that could be deemed as plagarizing(sp?). Why report directly to the teacher? Why not report back to the student to verify that is the work they want to submit? Seems to me it's a flawed business model. I see a lot of your complaints sparking up WiiVault as this service continues.
We actually are diverse in our knowledge of 'legality'. Any country, any system, we're covered. We graduated from "Law & Order" University, "CSI" College (Vegas, Miami, and New York campuses), and "NCIS" School of BS.
Some of also received a medical degree from "ER" school of Medicine.
I was thinking the same thing. That would be more efficient and would be registered with a State Authority. Maybe this would begin an inspection protocol for the state if there isn't one in place already.
I'm having to deal with that right now. There is no real way to deal with it. Comment what you put in and move on. The legacy will just have to live on.
We currently have a variable that is never used but declared in our main application called ken_is_a_jackass. This boolean is set to true but never mentioned again in code.
Good and bad comments/code will stay with a system long after you're gone. Ken has apparently been a jackass for over 12 years and nobody seems to want to get rid of it.
This would also cause mass confusion to those that don't know about the procedure. Take my grandmother for instance. Once her password was reject on the bank website which initiated a call to myself, my sister, then the bank themselves. When I arrived home her caps-lock was on. This simple "Sorry Wrong Password" or even "You need to look for a SITEKEY idiot!" Would prompt many people to swamp phonelines asking what the deal is.
Let's just face the fact that stupid users will always get around great security and do things wrong.
"Our 'folded lens' is not technically a lens, since it is reflective. I am guilty of calling it a lens sometimes, but I'm trying to control myself. 'Imager,' or 'folded optic' are more accurate."
My guess is that the MINI itself has some kind of signal booster inside. I've seen some basic studies on it myself. I thought the range was quite limited and that was about 1-2 years ago. Might have changed significantly since. All of that depends on if they use active or passive tags. They have to use active to get any kind of range then a strong receiver. Someone correct me if I'm getting my facts wrong.

Could you imagine the headline if it had exploded in Iranian airspace?
This patent is for the word correction feature that has been in Microsoft Word for years. This isn't original. Complete bunk!

Sony is coming out with a better reader that has PDF support. I'm holding out for that one. No word on if it's the same kind of deal though.

Was thinking the same thing. Was my favorite cartoon for a while.

The bigger you are, the less rights you should be entitled to. And the scope of your rights should be similarly curtailed.
So you're basically saying that there should be a subset of people who do not have the same rights as you, just because they have a grander vision?
Least of all a private
They are public...Google
...and we will all suffer for it.

Not necessarily the technology but the methods. Classic case of 'hind sight is 20/20'.
