I clicked through on this BS made up story created by fiction writers trained to get people like me to click on a link and up comes a current picture of Bill Gates. Has anyone noticed how old he looks now? Time affords no mercy even for billionaires.
Anonymous so called "experts" and all these examples read like a plot from the TV show "24" lead me to a hypothesis that this story is complete and utter BS or more likely propaganda to increase some governmental budget that benefits from cyberwar funding.
Chicago was not mentioned either, which is a "gun free" city and county but has an incredibly high rate of gun violence sporting over 10 shootings a day (and over 1 dead per day) in a place where guns have been banned. At least for the citizens that abide by the law.
Just a minor nitpick with your observations. Chicago is no longer "gun free." We used to be but that changed a few years ago. CCW is legal here now and you can have a gun in your home. Chicago is down on the list of cities with the highest murder rate but we're a city idiots in the media and huckster directors out to sell movie tickets like to kick around. It's kind of ironic you making a post about moronic media coverage and then repeating a media myth.
I've been with Netflix since 2006 and have watched and rated around 2000 movies so they have some idea of what I like. Most movies they list for me are below 3 stars and rarely will a film have over 4 stars. If Netflix shows me a movie with one star and I watch it anyway it's usually terrible. Not sure what kind of system they use but they did have a contest for people to come up with a rating algorithm many years ago. I really trust the Netflix rating when deciding what to rent.
Alcohol has an effect on reflexes from about 0.02. Some even say your judgement starts getting impaired at this level.
Having a BAC of 0.02 will get you a DUI in Sweden. When visiting my relatives there at a gathering one of my cousins had to abstain from drinking because he had to drive to work the following morning and this was in the afternoon.
Basically an opensource solution presenting a front end to your closed source cameras.
I second this but I couldn't get Zoneminder to work with my two Foscam cameras of different models. I let the camera upload.mkv video snippets along with trigger photos and do the rest on a Linux box running mplayer for quick perusal of the files, vlc to convert them to.mp4, and ffmpeg to slice them into sets of jpegs for the triggered events. You can then do anything you want with them. Foscam has an open API to do certain things with the camera but I haven't played with it yet.
I never upgrade an OS to a new major release (i.e. WindowsXP to WIndows7) on old hardware. The new OS will consume more resources so it's better to buy modern hardware for it if you absolutely need features in a newer OS. I suspect the vast majority of people upgrade just to keep up with or stay ahead of the Jones.
One day I counted click and scrolls for my use case and they doubled in Gnome 3 over Gnome 2. It wasn't a matter of not liking fonts or colors or how windows flew across the screen, it was knowing how easy it used to be making every extra click and scroll in Gnome 3 upsetting for me. How did the designers of that UI not see this? Currently writing this using Gnome 2 on Fedora 14.
So overall the fast results are what we want out of a search engine- the answer.
Exactly. Google is a great tool but so many people have gamed their SEO that many searches come up with complete garbage. I wish there was a "this search result sucks" button to give Google feedback but that would probably be gamed in short time too.
I like auto complete because it helps put together a proper set of search terms for those of us who have frequent brain farts.
Does anyone have a better link with more information on this story?
I too would like to see a proof of concept. I'm pretty sure they can't come close to doing that to my routers even with username and password. This article doesn't provide any details so it could be FUD.
Chicago resident here. Rahm Emanuel has a 45% to 20% lead over his nearest rival and all rival candidates are grasping at straws. The red light camera program here has been a success at reducing red light running which used to occur on a routine basis in almost every intersection. Since reckless driving here is so rampant they make up a good percentage of the population of voters who want their driving unenforced. They make for an easy target for challengers to Rahm who have no other agenda to offer. Odds are there won't be a runoff and Rahm wins in a landslide. RLCs are far from an issue that will determine the outcome of this election but they make for good click through bait.
I'm hoping for camera tech to improve enough where stop sign and crosswalk camera systems become feasible to install and manage.
This reminds me of all the systems with mathematical models to back them up showing how they hold secrets to winning at the dice game craps. Past events don't affect future events for random acts like throwing dice or flipping a coin. All that math is hooey. Baseball is full of these kind of stats with fans playing them off each other like Magic the Gathering cards not understanding a whit of the math underlying them. If students get taught to think critically of these kind of mathematics then using an example like this could be educational.
