And they know for sure it's because of the burning of leaded fuel and not a natural cause? This is just speculation that it's from polution, it might be true, but it also might not.. no real evidence to prove it..
It's simple, just don't use google glasses in public places.. The problem is that you might not use them to video other people but enough people will and put it up on the internet..
This physical level of hostility is unusual, but discomfort with Glass is common, especially among those who don't understand how it works.
but there are propably enough people who do know how it works..
Any UI for incar usage which requires you to touch the screen during driving is a bad UI, because you shouldn't be touching the screen at all while driving.. So any designer coming up with stuff like that is a bad designer from the start and doesn't have safety in mind..
Any important function needed during driving should be as a button or lever connected to the steering wheel so you would never have to take your hands of it..
what the hell does US militairy have to do with satelites being designed and payed for by google? the militairy doesn't have anything to say about what is allowed or not..
If you seriously think they aren't, then you are really naive.. Unless you write an application that is only a few lines, it might be possible, but even then, your code might be 'bugfree', but what about the compiler, what about the DLL's it's using, what about the OS functions it's using..
You can only try to reduce the chance on writing bugs, but eliminate them is just impossible.. (and don't come to me with crap like, 'but we use TDD' or some other 'naive' workflow...
Yeah, that's nice and all for the driver, but even with today's new headlights, it's a nightmare for oncoming traffic, headlights are so much brighter these days it blinds you as an oncoming driver..
And it's great if you can see for 600meters, but most people don't watch where they're going anyway..
Why is it that some companies sell their hardware way below costs and it isn't a problem (like gaming consoles) but when Intel does it, it is a big problem...
if you have you own compound to drive the car around, but in most countries it's illegal to drive a self build car without licenseplates (and that requires the car being tested, if that's even possible for a self-build car in some countries)..
IE isn't a piece of crap, not more than any other browser (most other browsers have more security holes these days than IE has, especially due to situations like this). You're nothing but a troller who only thinks the browser he/she's using is the most secure and best browser around, well think again.. Developing a secure browser is one hell of a job, especially with freaky hackers who can think up stuff you never ever would have thought up and thought it was secure as hell.. What seems secure by design today can be one big sinkhole tomorrow...
Great to know corruption costs so much money (as if we didn't know that already).. But what are they gonna do about it? I guess the won't as the corruption is in high places and they want to continue receiving their scammoney..
I guess the project is kept in business is because a lot of friends of Sen. Roger F. Wicker are making a lot of money if the tower is completed..
I don't mind if the tower is completed if they already have companies in line who are willing to use it, if not, the project should stop immediatly and IMHO the senator should be kicked out of office if he wants it to complete even though it is already known it will only costs money and doesn't do anything for research, because people like that shouldn't be in office in the first place...
Also learn how to fix cars, how to cook, how to run a big company, how to extract plutonium, how to design buildings, how to fly a 747..
What nonsense is this, oh wait, it's being promoted by someone who has a background in coding and got filthy rich with doing it..
let's get back to the real basics, they already need to learn too much junk in schools even though most of it they would learn already in real life outside school..
Yes, but what IF they had continued development... who knows, maybe we would have had a much bigger impact on battery development.. Most innovations for current electric cars are because companies are now actually researching that area much more where they never had (or at least not with the intensity) before it came popular again..
taking w3schools as the site for the report is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.. That site is mostly used by webdevelopers, and those are more inclined to use the other browsers.. So take this story with a big barrel of sault... It's just BS...
It's freaky to see that even more than a century ago there already was an electric car (even races were held back then) and development on it just stopped a century ago and we aren't even much further as back then.. So what's the deal? Why did they stop? And even more interesting, what would an electric car look like these days if they kept on developing it back then.........
gawker shouldn't have linked to the script, there was no journalistic reason for it.. What's next, writing an article about childporn and then link to a gazillion sites with childporn? get real.. journalists shouldn't act like they are so naive, links to the real scripts will attract more readers, it has nothing to do with journalism, and everything to do with advertisment/money...
accidents do happen (see how many accidents have happened during the spacerace by the goverment), restricting the ammount of passengers in the first place is a good step. But just let the industry do, with high reliability if something happens (that'll hopefully make sure they don't cut corners to make a buck).
But just grant the commercial parties the permissions, as NASA isn't going anywhere, and spacetravel is heavily needed as resources on the earth are getting less and less, we need to travel to other planets, and the only way that can happen is if we let the industry do their job, and not let it be held back by some f-ing bureaucrats or NASA..
Well, he's a moron himself then for integrating them.. No excuse is there for 24/7 wearing a google glass, he should have extra pair of regular glasses with him, as there will be more places google glasses will be banned..
Well, he could have avoided all the trouble by just putting the google glasses away. Also even though they are only small, they do emit light in a dark theater, so they can also disturb other moviegoers..
more morons not watching the road but reading their email.. To me, stuff like google glass should be banned while driving a car, just because you cannot see if someone is actually using it for directions only or anything else, OR Google should be able to detect if the person is driving and only activate options that are save while driving (just like many build in entertainmentsystems work, blok entertainment while driving).. But then again, next generation smartglasses won't look different than regular glasses, so the problem will continue.. especially when we also get smart contactlenses..
But the message is clear.. We HATE people texting/using mobile phones during movies.. If you want to use your device, just do not go to the movies.. It's so distracting if someone pulls out their phone and turns it on, it lights up the whole place...
Reading the original article, it was during the previews/ads, well then I don't really mind, but mostly I see people during the movie itself, and that just got to stop...
Is it so hard to just leave the freaking device off for 2-3 hours... People are just too freaking addicted to their cellphones.. I'm all for a complete signal blackout when the movie starts.
And any chain considering allowing texting/use of cellphones during movies is one I'll just skip..

if there isn't a notice of the public being studied, then it's a gross violation of privacy laws..

NASA doesn't have a claim on the moon, nobody does, so the first who goes to the moon and starts mining is the one who get's the claim...
and the enemy can use it too to disable the army itself, because if the US can disable the electronics remote, so can their enemy...

For this to work, the site must support https, and a lot of sites don't...
