However, the range of a typical honeybee, the thing MOST likely to polinate it, has a range of about 5 MILES in a day.
A little OT, but I thought I should respond.
Bees aren't going around pollinating field corn. The reason GM corn should be planted over 200 yards from other corn is so it won't pollinate normal corn by the usual method, which is wind-pollination.
Bees only pollinate sweet corn, and only if there is no other pollen around.
The best thing to do would actually be to simply harvest them and sell them to a trusted underworld figure who knows what to do with them.
This limits your exposure and also makes you a fixed amount of money per CC# or whatever and they can make the phony cards themselves which is really a bulk operation anyway.
Or the other thing would be to avoid the temptation altogether and not commit the crime.

If I were them, I'd make it so they moved more when you looked away - causing you to look back.
In all seriousness though, this technology is a little creepy. Not only that, but tracking eye movement has to have better applications than simply refining the process of ad targeting.

What if we create a subspecies with limited intellect and self awareness, but capable of simple tasks: dig here, carry this from here to there, turn the red lever sideways, turn the blue lever up and down, etc. What now? What rights do they have? do we allow them to work in mines and nuclear plants? are they disposable? or better yet: are humans (homo sapiens) less disposable? This worries me no end and has nothing to do with religion.
You hit the nail on the head, there.
Can they vote? All men are created equal, right? Even ones we create?
What if we can reproduce with them? (shudder) Cause if we can, someone will.
I can only see bad coming out of something like this and really not much potential good.
All kinds of things get fenced. By the same logic, we should ban selling any used goods. That used VCR you just bought, why that could be the proceeds of a crime.
That's why pawn shops take your name and your address (and your prints in some places) and have a list of serial numbers for when the cops come by - for that exact reason.
I'm not advocating the Florida law here, I think it's retarded, but I'm pointing out that there are already many restrictions on the sale of easily ripped-off used goods.
Not only is it laughable, but pointless, petty vocal outrage over "virtual rape" serves only to trivialize actual rape which is horrible and very serious.
Or don't accentuate every word when you talk...they'll see your lips moving incoherently and won't be able to distinguish what you're saying.
Look at the bright side, everyone in the UK might soon start talking like they're in a poorly-dubbed Kung-Fu movie. That always cracks me up.
Seriously though, these camera developments are getting scarier by the hour. People, it just isn't worth it. No amount of security is worth that kind of BS.
If you want a track that is free, legal, safe and the artist gets rewarded then we add the ad. However, you don't have to have the ad forever, as with We7 technology, after a period of time (4 weeks) you will have the choice to have the track 'ad free'. So, enjoy We7 and the new digital music download model.
Looks like you can DL the song, shelve it for a few weeks, then have it add free. Sounds good to me.
Looks more like Bruce than Stan, though I don't know if that's a contributing factor or not.
I go to a large Big Ten university, and we just had a student held and suspended for wearing a ski-mask on a cold, rainy day. He didn't take it off inside his lecture and some asshat called the cops on him.
Let's not forget that free speech unchecked led the continent to ruin in the 1930s/40s.
Come on, man. That is probably the lamest thing I've heard all day. Just because someone used the power of speech and propaganda for the purposes of evil certainly doesn't mean speech was to blame.
That line of reasoning will get people into way more trouble than whatever these laws are supposed to prevent.
The incident involving the stage setting for "Stonehenge" demonstrates the importance of making sure everyone involved with a project is using the same units of measure. This is an invaluable lesson that all programmers should absorb.
So there, it's nerdy.
Plus it's just about the funniest movie in history, and (most) nerds like funny stuff.
Price is a huge factor for me, but there are others.
I'll admit it right here - the only thing that made me buy a PS2 was the availability of GTA3. I know the GTA games came out later on Xbox, but I didn't know they would at the time I bought my PS2.
If GTA4 was exclusive to the PS3, I'd seriously consider buying one. As it stands now, I might as well buy an Xbox and a Wii for the price of one PS3 and have GTA4 and the embarrasingly fun Wii games on top of it.
If they had some of the game exclusives that I couldn't live without, I'd save up and buy one, but there's no point if I can get the games on another console for less money.
There are some interesting recent experiments in economics and games theory. Less than ten percent of the population will generally act in an unfair and unjust manner unless the whole system is unfair and unjust. Most people are far more motivated by notions of reciprocity and fairness than by self interest.
Do you have any links? I'd like to read up on that.

George Dyson? Is he related to Miles Bennett Dyson?
My dad always told me, "Women are like martinis for lunch. One is never enough, but two is just too goddamned many."
Nice.
Too few people are going to get that one, man.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not trying anything at your restaurant.
So you had a crush on the 2 of 7 of 9?
Nice work, dude. They Live is the Citizen Kane of aliens-making-us-obey-them movies.
And that 7 minute Rowdy Roddy Piper on Kieth David fight scene is the greatest thing since canned beer.
How much mining, exactly, do you think can be done?
Do you really think anyone can alter the mass of a 7.36×10^22 kilogram rock enough to change its gravity? Do you think they can take _that_ much off?
Really?

Walter, this isn't a guy who built the fucking railroads, here.
It is Romanian which is a Romance language, not a Slavic language. I suppose that would account for the similarity to French last names.
Here is some information about naming conventions all over the world (anchored to Romania):
