I believe it depends on the type of battery but I think the exploding thing has been worked out. The whole pants on fire thing seems to kick cellphone makers into action pretty fucking fast.
Uhhh they'd go look for the bodies so your analogy just confuses me.
Endgame is this. I pay 10$/mnth for all music this will bring in around the same the whole music industry gets today. Movies will be offered streaming with ads either embedded or on the side. There should be an option like with music to remove the ads for 5~10$ a month. This again will not effect revenue for movie companies. Games will have rich downloadable demos like those on xbox. Full versions will cost more. Software will be mostly as in 90% free to consumers. Which it is as we speak. Schools and industry should move away from setting expensive standards but thats it. OS is free with windows or linux assuming you buy a computer. OpenOffice is free, pretty much all media players are free, there are vast numbers of free web aps. I can't remember needing to pay for software. Photoshop and 3dsmax are the only things I am stealing atm. IF I ever make anything profitable with them I will pay for them. Part of the demo system could work for those programs (3dsmax pro edition is as much as a car so you cant bitch at me for stealing it).
Result? Pretty much no change, the industry will continue as it has without any issues.
Online radio. If i lost my collection I'd listen to online radio, regular radio and never buy a cd. I've only bought 1 cd in my life, there is no point.
Nope. Because your download and upload speed is capped; Your rate per month is capped. There is no need to specify what that number is. They could call it 'as much as you can take' but thats pretty pedantic.
You guys are in pain because the rest of the world can laugh at you. In Canada I get 200G cap for 30$/mnth and 40$/mnth gets me unlimited. And we are bigger more spread out population-wise poorer and everything. And less competition. And we still get better. Oh and compared to europe or asia we suck. God it's nice to be able to laugh at someone.
It does. The exoskeleton works by reading the bio electric signals. Then 'guessing' what movement you intend to make from a large list of things possible. It then moves before you do so that you arent pulling yourself out of the suit. So there is some AI involved, and an sensor malfunction could result in you rampageing the city. Better still since the system works on a set of movements... Normally with random signals you'd probablly just fall down or flail randomly. With a list of instructions it to go about on its own.:D
Nothing for your hands or shoulders though so there isn't much point. I bet HALc will have those but this one doesn't. Once they do put that in it'll be much more useful for superhuman strength. At the moment its only good for super human standing up.... super-human squats? But if the suit could lift 1000kgs and still had nothing for your hand it would only be a good tool to rip your hands off.
He's been in power weeks, give him his 4years and we'll see how low he can get it. It is sort of like a game. Each rep tries to make a new record debt. And each dem tries to force it into a surplus again.
Wow you are dumb. You are a/.er and you haven't hear correlation != causation? The soviet union paid a terrible price to get something very valuable, equality. The democrats managed to do that without murdering thousands. How is this a bad thing?
No, I agree but saying a 700Billion dollar stimulus package will raise our debt 700Billion dollars is stupid. Maybe 200 maybe even 300. Hopefully it will pay for it's self in 2~3years. I'd be surprised if we are in significantly more debt at the end of Obama's term than the beginning.
I'd say it is because you are running a beta product (that isn't made by google). Beta products pretty much all have bugs in them (aside from google), expect them to break. If you wanted stability; Don't use a beta product. (cept google)
I guess it's cause my father is a lawyer but... that isn't the rule of law. That is not how it works. If it was you wouldn't really need courts. Just kill all the people that are "clearly" guilty.
Wow.... I'm going to karma hell for this but... WTF is wrong with you Americans? Have you been SO blinded by the media and patriotism and hatred that you actually believe this? Don't be conned. The US could have stopped the trial at any point.
That's like saying "Hey! I didn't kill him, I just locked him into a small room with a bunch of people who hate them and gave them all guns. Don't look at me". Don't be a fool.
Watch his execution. Oh and if you had any lingering respect for the law. Read up on Saddam's trial. If he weren't so famous saddam would have gotten about 1000mistrials.... before he was hung. Yeah... hung, something you think we'd have given up a loong time ago. But I guess the rules don't apply if you REALLY don't like the guy.
Unlike incandescent lights which needlessly waste electricity producing heat CFLs use the electricity to make light instead.
(Yeah yeah I know but I couldn't help the jab)

Depends on the implementation. It could try to guess but if you resist 'learn' new movements. That would allow it to feel more natural for the user.

What goes up....
itsatrap !!!! If the RIAA won't sue you for it they'll put you down on an 'enemies' list and sue you later.

Clinton had a 236.4Billion dollar surplus before Bush Jr came into power. (He also started with a 290.4Billion dollar debt when Bush Sr. left office). http://www.thefreespeechzone.net/images/charts/bush_deficit_graphic.gif
And he did lie to us to get into war there is an overabundance of proof on this one.

When they buy the pre-beta and upgrade to the release candidate? I don't think that is a big concern for them.

Wait... so Iraq has WMDs again? And this happened in the 80s? Are you sure you aren't confusing......... time.... reality.... something.
How is the government going to incur 700billion in debt??? They aren't burning money ya know. It comes back to them. Thats the glory of taxes.
In Iraq people get shot which seems fine. Anyways he was hanged as a statement.
