In 2008, barely a day goes by without an incident of air rage, from irate passengers in the terminal, to those in the air causing flights to be diverted. Which is why SAFER is trying to get some ganga into the airport.
would pick up on that kind of subconscious activity and draw the wearer's attention to the object in question I'm not sure if I could handle that, my subconscious is pretty messed up.
companies cannot trust the word from our government Um, companies shouldn't blindly obey any order from the government without running by legal. If your a stock holder in one of these telecoms wouldn't you think they had some obligation to verify that what they were doing was indeed legal (it wasn't) and that they did not face exposure due to it (they should be exposed, and face serious consequences)?
Being that the cort took some time to determine that the governments actions were indeed illegal shows that it was in the gray area of right and wrong No, it was not a gray area - it was illegal, it was illegal when they did it, and it's still illegal. They knew it was illegal and they did it anyway - no legal dept. worth its salt could have possibly signed off on this sort of an action without knowing that it was never going to see the light of day. They were exposed from the inside - and they deserve to be punished for breaking the law, just because they are a corporation doesn't mean they get to skirt responsibility for their actions.
You make an excellent point. What exactly is the problem developers are having that this solves:
Ruby developers would not have to go through the machinations of using something like the RJS (Ruby JavaScript) utility, where they write Ruby code and RJS generates JavaScript code to run on the client I'm not a Ruby developer and frankly don't know squat about it (web.py myself - its pretty darn bad ass) Is this really a problem for Ruby developers? With IronRuby - Django and the litany of tools available to developers a guess I'm just failing to see what this does for anyone? Any Ruby developers out there care to fill me in? Do you really need to run client side code? Does RJS not work for you?
Sounds more like BioShock 2 will come out well before the movie, and so if a game release was coincident with the movie release it wouldn't be BioShock2.
I don't understand how measuring a schools performance with standardized testing is a bad plan Its not, in fact measuring performance is very important. It's just they completely reversed to way that education works, hoping that schools would compete for $. Unfortunately that just isn't how things. Schools which are struggling to meet standards should be given help, not have their funding slashed (exactly how that was supposed to work I've never really figured out).
so long as the test covers all the material we want students to understand
thats not quite the kind of teaching to the test I'm referring to. Most teachers are given access to the tests before hand, then they can coach students pretty hard on the problems they will see - there is no goal in there to RETAIN(or even get a real understanding) any of that information.
I like OOo but would rather not see ads integrated into it. Google selling support for it? I don't see that happening - they aren't in the selling support business, they are in the search and targeted advertising business. The idea of integrating OOo and google docs is nice, but selling support isn't a good model for individual users, ads are.
One of my roomates was an SS teacher, he quit over No Child Left Behind. Not only does it lead to "teach the test", it keeps good teachers from going into the classroom in the first place.
Well, the fact that they are using the term "rapture" certainly doesn't help the cause. The assumption i'm not quite ready to buy would be this one.
The brain is deterministic A little study on perceptron neural networks, training, bifurcations in chaotic systems and well it just doesn't seem totally deterministic at the scale of the human brain anymore.
microrobots advance in steps only 10 to 20 billionths of a meter each, but repeated as often as 20,000 times a second. A 20kHz Dance beat! damn thats fast
Its like the horoscope - Augmented reality? Dude, I know I'll be getting high in the next four years, but seriously, I don't see how that's any of IT's business.

The utility analogy is especially apt. This is like if the local water utility started to transmit waste in the water lines.
But its not Japanese sex robot.
Uhhh... domestic terrorists?

It sounds like fascism to me. Just my .02$
Oh man, I don't even want to know how people plan to pirate my DNA.
Unless of course instead of bit torrent they send a hot blonde

Wouldn't that be internet censorship?

Ok, who gave the China Internet Illegal Information Reporting Centre all these mod points?

I'm not sure, but i suspect I could buy a lot of feathers for a pound!

You sir, are technically correct, which of course, is the best kind of correct.
Goople? oh dear, I just threw up a little.
Ray Tracing software? 3-D Modeling? The latest games? I can't even afford to think what a system like that would cost nowadays.
