Forrest: (voice-over) Now, I don't know much about anything, but I think some of American's best young men served in this war. There was Dallas, from Phoenix. Cleveland, he was Detroit. And Tex was, well, I don't remember where Tex come from
The cream of the crop are not the ones that are being suckered, it's usually the people who are scraping bottom. The people who are not doing all that much better than the person scamming are the victims.
There is an individual who is most likely at fault. Either the person who wrote the article, or the editor. Not every single democrat out there.
This not some big conspiracy, although to be fair when he campaigned he also did not reveal his party affiliation and ran as a conservative, but on the democratic ticket.
You don't see me trying to scam Bill Gates or some other bullshit.
If you are at the level where you are pulling these scams internationally over not only the internet, but also calling your victims, then you are not starving and you are probably a little better educated than those around you. These are the people that are dragging down their societies instead of building them up.
I not only blame them, I would like to shoot them for the betterment of their communities.
You can recover searches from a computer if you have physical access to the computer as long as the person didn't do any wipes.
At no point in the story does it say where the information about searches was recovered from. So yes, it is possible that the authorities contacted google and the got the information, but more likely they just got it off the computer.
He/she wanted to know what was available in terms of displays.
It is easy enough to find general LCD touchscreens for hobbyists, that is just a google search away.
To be able to recommend the best one for the purpose one must know the purpose.
Once one knows the purpose you can either recommend them a specific part, or a complete device that could be cannibalized for not only the display, but many other internal parts that already work with the display.
The more information given the better answer he'll get, and he didn't give enough information imo.
Ok, not too hard to find touch LCD panels online, but I wonder just what is the point of this device you are attempting to make?
There are so many products in just about the size you are looking for I have to wonder why not either go with one of those products, either as the final device or a basis to create the device you want out of it?
I say it would just be noise that would distract from any military operation, especially considering how fast ones emotions change in high-stress situations. The information that would be useful is specific information, knowing your buddies general mood is useless chatter. Knowing your buddy is dead or wounded though is vital information.
Being bi-polar I may be rather biased since even knowing my own moods doesn't help me worth a damn.
Also, some of the ex-military I know may have some rather paradoxical reaction to certain situations. When his emotion turns to glee, prepare to hear gunfire, lots of it.
From what I've read Google doesn't retire servers, they use it till it breaks and then replace it with something better.
One of the very good things you can do with a bunch of cheap computers that you can't do with a few very good computers is create large test networks.
If you want old-but-still-serviceable desktops check out www.discountelectronics.com , they mainly carry retired Dells that can barely run Linux Mint using the LXDE desktop. I'd rather half a dozen Raspberry Pi's than that.
Anything you could do with telepathy, you could probably do by talking on a cell phone or other radio. It is basically the same thing.
And to those who would say "What about special forces people and the like who have to be quiet and can't talk?" my response is that problem has already been solved.
As long as the person who is being condescending is also giving me information I need to know regarding a subject then I would be happy to be condescended to.
If you refuse to learn something because you don't like someones attitude then you are an idiot.
Joey: So, what happens when you're wrong?
Nick: Well, Joey, I'm never wrong.
Joey: But you can't always be right.
Nick: Well, if it's your job to be right, then you're never wrong.
Joey: But what if you are wrong?
Nick: Okay, let's say that you're defending chocolate and I'm defending vanilla. Now, if I were to say to you, "Vanilla's the best flavor ice cream", you'd say �
Joey: "No, chocolate is."
Nick: Exactly. But you can't win that argument. So, I'll ask you: So you think chocolate is the end-all and be-all of ice cream, do you?
Joey: It's the best ice cream; I wouldn't order any other.
Nick: Oh. So it's all chocolate for you, is it?
Joey: Yes, chocolate is all I need.
Nick: Well, I need more than chocolate. And for that matter, I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom and choice when it comes to our ice cream, and that, Joey Naylor, that is the definition of liberty.
Joey: But that's not what we're talking about.
Nick: Ah, but that's what I'm talking about.
Joey: But ⦠you didn't prove that vanilla's the best.
Nick: I didn't have to. I proved that you're wrong, and if you're wrong, I'm right.
Joey: But you still didn't convince me.
Nick: Because I'm not after you. I'm after them.

Prices are not near being back to normal.
In some stories AI's are both enemies and friends.

The issue is once an AI truly has that Intelligence part down then you get into it's motivations, and that is the part that scares people.
Can you trust the motivations of someone who is not only smarter than you, but doesn't value the same things you do in the same ways?
Whether it be a person or a machine the question comes up, and it's not a question that can truly be answered except in specific circumstances.

I've received a +5 before, I think I got every single up and down mod in the book on that comment so it was just left as +5 with nothing after it.

Damn straight I can blame them.

huh?
Did I miss the kool-aid? What the fuck are you talking about?
You see anyone defending this jack-ass?
You can ask google to not save your searches.
You can recover searches from a computer if you have physical access to the computer as long as the person didn't do any wipes.
At no point in the story does it say where the information about searches was recovered from. So yes, it is possible that the authorities contacted google and the got the information, but more likely they just got it off the computer.
I would imagine that the military would have a means of turning it off, while civilians could not.
So if you see someone in civvies who's chip isn't working, he probably ain't a civilian.
It might have been what LanMan04 meant, but it does sound like the person is more interested in the build process rather than the end result.
As such then if you recommend a device, it's probably going to be ripped apart and used for parts. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Who gives a shit about being happy about a situation, either make the situation work for you or be a little whinny bitch.
I see which choice you have chosen.

You get much better results when you throw your money at strippers.
So you found an article that is against nano-technology on a website that is devoted to being against progress in technology.
Perhaps if you found a less bias source it would be taken more seriously.
I can barely keep my mouth shut as it is, and you want to make it worse by being able to hear the thoughts that don't make it out of my mouth?
As long as the person who is being condescending is also giving me information I need to know regarding a subject then I would be happy to be condescended to.

I love shill bashing as much as the next guy, but that is a bad example.
If it gets ruled that API's are copyrightable then this creates a whole new can of worms that will send many industries into absolute chaos.
If it gets ruled that API's are not copyrightable then it is business as usual.
