Racial profiling is a bit of a harsh thing to say, having spent countless hours on ANPR operations ive discovered that the ANPR is actually the least descriminate form of crime fighting going. It reads number plates for crying out loud,
Well, that's why I put "racial profiling" in quotes. Because ANPR is really targeting the poor and uneducated. In London, the majority of the poor and uneducated apparently happen to be black. Let's face it: if they weren't uneducated, they wouldn't be caught. And if they were any good at being criminals, they wouldn't be poor.
And to be perfectly honest, the poor and uneducated make the best COPS episodes.
combine this with the automated "racial profiling" with their ANPR cameras, and you've got an episode of COPS!
"BRITAIN'S most senior policeman Sir Ian Blair is facing a race relations dilemma after the release of figures that reveal almost half the number of people arrested in relation to car crime in London are black. Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, has signed off a report by his force's traffic unit which shows that black people account for 46% of all arrests generated by new automatic numberplate recognition (ANPR) cameras."
If we're talking about an agrarian society, by preference utilitarianism, if a large group of no-cost or low-cost workers are needed for the prosperity of the state, and the state protects everyone (even the slaves themselves) with some measure of law and order, then can't it be said that slavery is not wrong at all, and instead a vital institution for the good of the many?
If that were truly the situation, would they not be able to locate volunteers?
How long before the "rape" game?
Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

In both cases, I had to tweak visual settings manually, since the games automatically set themselves to very low settings. Far Cry, for example, autodetected very low settings, but it ran without a hitch when I bumped the resolution up to 1280 by 720
Has this idiot never played FarCry before? Of course it starts out at a default, low resolution. And of course you can set it higher, if you want.
I mean, if the game had started out at 1600x1200, he'd be making the inverse of this same "complaint". What a moron.
Uhh... the agreement specified physical media - that of course assumes you read the article which you obviously haven't.
Uhh... the agreement specified that Apple "could not use the title "Apple" for any works "whose principal content is music and, or performances." - that of course assumes you read the article which you obviously haven't.
Burlington Resources won't be listed anymore on the S&P 500 because they're being acquired by ConocoPhilips(also on the S&P500), so they're not really "leaving".
rather than obliterate our social lives, always-on connectivity and the increased flexibility it brings will allow us to break free from the office and actually socialise more. Sure, you'll be on call at unusual hours of the day, but think about how much more efficient you'll be
I can't say that always on "connectivity (i.e. a cell phone ringing at me, with someone wanting something at the other end) can do anything but hinder efficiency. Myself, and many programmers I know, are at peak productivity when they're not being constantly interrupted and/or bothered by other people.
So you've decided to legally download movies... If you play with fire, you're bound to get burnt. Whether it's Sky's Kontiki client or some other P2P app, you're always running the risk of sucking up bandwidth with background services. And so what if you are? The maximum throughput is only slightly decreased and you get a bunch of extra features. Isn't that worth the tradeoff?
Best Buy is finally working towards ending mail-in rebates by 2007. Rebates will still be around, but you will be able to file them online, and receive your check much quicker.
My guess is, the vast majority of Best Buy customers aren't really the net-savvy types (i.e., everyone I know buys computer equipment at Newegg, not best buy or the like). So this is merely an effort to combat the increasing amounts of people redeeming these rebates by mail.
If you could replicate anything, why would it be any harder to replicate a pure carbon grid rather than ZrSiO grid?
Maybe because they had to re-route the heisenberg compensators through a tachyon grid, in order to restore anti-matter flow to the space-time continuators due to damage from a reverse subspace quantum singularity?
I interviewed at 1up recently, and when I brought up the subject of game "journalism" the guys just laughed it off. They said, basically, that they're in the business to make money, and that the editorial wall of old-guard journalism doesn't apply.

Isn't is danerous to have an internet connection on a plane?
no.

If they did this in USA then they could rig up remote controlled guns or such and get a better crime resolution rate.
What do you mean could rig up remote-controlled guns?

So what percentage of this one did Ars Technica plagiarize from wikipedia?

Generally though, this is nonsense. The Apple Group are just trying to get money out of Apple Computers.
Yes. Apple Group are trying to get money out of Apple Computer for breaking the agreement that they came to in 1991.
The fact that this wasn't resolved years ago shows both the incompetence of the Apple Computer Lawyers
(smacks forehead).... no, no it doesn't.

It appears that France is pushing through a law that some feel may force Apple to open iTunes to other players.
French = Freedom. I think that's already been established by the US Congress.

This is the cynic in me talking, yes.
I think the whole thing is sad. I'm sure Pixar will soon be forced the churn out rushed, poorly done projects to feed to our children.
The article with their coverage of the Heim Theory was really amazing. Nicely done for sure.
This is sort of weird to me. It sounds like a scam.
Is Hotwired still around?
Wasn't Yahoo's strength always that it was a directory, not a search engine? They've always outsourced their search .
Yeah, we'll see how well that turns out....
Yeah, I don't know about that.

Those who rule the Internet rule the world.
Didn't the EU recently realize this and try to make some sort of a power grab?
