Ideally, Drug companies would love it if they can make Cancer manageable instead of curing. Look at Diabetes.... its manageable.... meaning the patient spends thousands to stay alive but never gets cured.
Where is the profit in a cure.
A joke comes to mind, Back when trades were handed from Father to Son; A son proudly proclaims to his dad, "Dad I cured the wonman who had been coming to you for 20 years and yet you couldn't cure her". Dad replies, "You fool, she was our only faithful customer".
In rural ares they are a building with the most hi-tech equipment being a half dented radio used for comunication and dispatch. some will have a telephone.
In more modern areas they may have a 386 with win95 running on it, and very unlikely any kind of networking. so i wouldn't worry about police using the data for a few decades to come. CBI (think Indian FBI) on the other hand may be in a better position to make use of this data.
Tried various solution, this one just fits, full PC, small, built in BT works nice with Logitech BT keyboards. You also have option of installing XBMC or Boxee

An old quote from where I come from goes like this... "If you see abundance of money and wastefulness of resources, then understand that someone's legitimate right to those resources is being compromised".
Yes, art... like any other field should provide a given artist a stable income.
Yes, the artist worked hard, nonetheless, piracy is a consequence of someone who is finding it hard to pay the bills wanting something beyond his budget. On the other hand, a given (successful) artist who will probably feed generations with the wealth accumulated wants even more money.
On purely human grounds, I find something is wrong with this picture, very wrong.
Once the songs has been composed, the value-added component for every CD or MP3 they sell just doesn't add up to the price they charge consumers. Even if you take into account the effort and labor of composing the song, it still does not add up. This is something fundamental to a working capitalist society. Things should cost a fair price, media does not.
What exactly are the media giants selling, is it art... then why have I bought the same song in LP, Cassette, CD and now mp3s.
I can't put my finger on exactly what is wrong with this model.
IMO, this needs to be revisited to figure out how everyone gets their fair share, consumers and artists.
Correct me if I am wrong, off what I have heard (and probably on Slashdot so take it with a grain of salt)...
Energies of LHC are already found when cosmic rays hit earths upper atmosphere... its just that we have no way of observing them.
So I would believe that whatever is going to happen inside LHC already happens....
Unless this theory is true and the Higgs boson really doesn't let Cosmic rays hit the atmosphere either... Maybe that is why we are all alive instead of Cosmic rays frying all living matter from earth.
The thing can run circles around a wrt54g without sweating.
Yah 54g is great, I used it for a long long time, however 3 boxes I had always had some kind of issues with 3rd party firmwares dd-wrt, openwrt even tomato. From hanging to dropping WAN on DSL, I stayed frustrated. In due time, I figured my frustration had nothing to do with me living in my mom's basement.
pfSense + alix has been rock solid.
The best part about my alix board based router... its fully supported by lots of opensource initiatives (monowall, pfsense, zeroshell etc) and come time for N, I just replace the minipci card on it.
...At that price point I would definitely consider fujitsu S series. I have their older s2110 so about time I look at something new myself, I loved that cd/dvd comes out and in goes another battery. With 3.3 lb weight, its one of the lightest I have used. Full keyboard only second to thinkpad is a plus, screen is 12 inch or so, thats a bit of a bummer, but I choose portability over larger screen.
Quick looks says Fujitsu this with S6520 the new one. I just love this, and my 2 year old has tested this more than folks at fujitsu lab.
Seriously... CRTC is so corrupt and full of ex-bell executives its not even funny.
When FCC is pushing net neutrality, CRTC is stifling competition.
I bet this will go through and I will be paying through my nose for internet.
3 cheers to Conservative in power, please slow down progress, I want my 1800's back.

Will this work as well as tin foil, cause then may order one.
Well, iPad and for that matter iPhone are more like strippers.
Look pretty, but you can only do what they allow and every lap dance cost 20 bucks.
you probably haven't seen indian police stations.

Why don't they munge the privacy info, instead of saying a account belongs to John Smith, say it belongs to 1122113.
No one except netflix will know who exactly 1122113 is.
What they basically built is a heat diode of sorts.
...That is the real answer. For the longest time, Nokia had phones that everyone bought. They were expensive, but so were Mercedes and BMW.
Then came the iPhone. Like it or not, it changed the whole mobile market. Nokia was complacent and was caught off guard.
I recall Nokia was so full of themselves that they dismissed Android claiming writing a phone OS is no joke.
Having said all that, I have been for the last 10 years and still am a Nokia fanboy.
I love Nokia philosophy of phone first, everything else later. I hope that stays.
I had my subwoofer on, and didn't have to take my prescription laxative today...

Your comment reminds me of the quote "640kb should be enough for everyone"

I would have modded your comment Insightful instead of Funny, we really do have a short memory :(
On a lighter note, there is a old saying where I came from,
"Smart/Cunning folks will never go hungry as long as fools live"
I say its time to rename Freedom Fries to French Fries.
But the more important question is...
Will it run Windows 7.
I know, I know, its the wrong questions, but the answer to the other one is always "yes".
No
...as we speak, we have Pre-Wi-Fi Direct hardware available.
In the coming years you can expect
Draft-WiFi Direct
Final Draft-Wifi Direct
and eventually Wifi-Direct hardware from manufacturers

In any case, why is "the US President acted only in the interests of the US" a bad thing? At worst, it's a neutral thing.
This is only true if what is in the best interest of US of A does not impact others negatively. If it does.... in no way is it a neutral thing.
I moved to alix 2d3 with pfSense.

"Whoever finally delivers a practical solution, it sounds like a win-win for us"
Not unless these patents expire and IP rights become public domain.... Then its a win-win
... since this planet has Rocks and Vapors, Its plausible that it also has them in liquid form...
With such dynamic environment... Is it possible that this planet has life the way we don't know it.
Some really unique life form we can't imagine?
..now they can really prosecute people for sodomy.
