I do note how most the people claiming the security will have no effect come from one country that has only suffered one real terroist incident (regardless of how large), yet still assume they know all.
CCTV has been used sucessfully in the UK (thats England to those of you who do not realise places exist outside of the US of A) for several decades, not only as a crime prevention mechanism, but also as an anti-terrorist device.
People have mentioned that information is the key thing, well cameras are an observational device,a nd what that is used by most nations who regularly suffer from terrorism.
Oh and as to freedom vs security, I'm sure there are a lot of arab muslims out there is the world who applaud your right to have the freedom to be killed.
I note the article makes no mention of Xerox or Star. The question is, if Xerox had tried to mass produce Star, rather than renting it out for an extreme cost, then would we even be considering Apple/IBM PC computers.
It was only really after it had failed that Steve Jobbs was shown it at PARC, giving him the inspiration (and the court cases tried to prove even more) for the Mac.
I thought it was more down to the result of the Apple vs Xerox court case, after all Lisa (fore runner to the Mac) was basically just a rip off of Star.

Thatcher was never the msot popular of people at home, but she made her impression in the world, and is still the only 20th century leader to be able to hold sway over the heads of teh world's super powers (yeah I know the US is the only one now by definition).
Ahh but in the US you can legally buy the gun the 14 year old son of your will point at some one to buy him the game, blaming said game for his actions 8-)
As E (prn ee) (eg e-bygum) is a North of England colloquial (sp ?) expression that has been used for many hundreds of years, and as a result must surely by the property of the people of Lancashire (oh and Yorkshire (some one else can explain the 800 year long rivalry).
Thus I reckon, as no IT company appears to have asked my fellow Lancashiremen for the right to use the expression E in their marketting slang, we ought to sue for ownership infringment any company using E- or e- or even e and E as prefixes in product/solution/markettting/widget names.
To those companies out there who persist, all I can say is, in the local tongue, E-lad, y'know t'trouble y'in ? E let me help you out with t'settlement
I do wonder how much of this is to pamper to modern day US audiences requirement for a happy ever after ending.
The scouring of the Shire, while ending in a positive note, also shows a darker side to the hobbits that may have been felt could depress audiences.
Shame France or Japan weren't the prime market, there'd be far more chance of the real ending still being in. It is essential to the plot after all (one of the components of the story being the hobbits coming to maturity as a people, losing their care free inocence).
I think the difference is (without trying to be nasty) that these are toys designed to complete set tasks in a competition. It is unlikely that each team has more than one vehicle, and that they could not be easilly replicated.
On the other hand, the Israeli drone was a final prototype of a commercial piece of hardware, ready for producing. Not only does it work, but it can, and will be replicated.
TBH - I half suspect it's a marketting ploy to bring it to the world's attention, after all Israel became the leader in remote recon drones by demonstrating their use during the Lebanon conflict at the start of the '80s (and before any one from the west side of the pond yells, hey we're the leaders, the recon drones used by the US are eiterh bought directly from Israel or made under license, depending on which model).
I've seen a decently driven MX-5 (ok it was a 200+ BHP supercharged one) leave a number of performance bikes for dead on the twisties. Now with more power and even better handling... (Caterham owners please step forwards).
Do you use credit cards, debit cards, cash point card ?
Use a mobile phone, use it lots ?
Any one of the above can be used to track you.
Use store cards, reward cards (don't know if you get these in the US, but most the big supermarkets in the UK have these), combined together with you credit/debit card records a reasonable profile of you could be put together.
Technology is cool, with live by tech, we die for tech, but the same technology also traps us in an observable, trackable society.
In the present IT climate, employers know that the fear of being included in the next round of redundecies means that no one is going to object to those extra hours, or lack of life.
Actually I don't dream of being able to throw the EU directive in my bosses faces, I dream of the jo market improving so I, along with most my colleagues, can tell them where to stick it.

What is unique about this one is that it does not require a human operator, it is not a remote controlled drone.
Think that says alot about the drivers as well.

Now this confuses me about SCOs accusations.
SCO say IBM are suing some of their code in their Linux supplied machines (i.e. Linix contains SCO code (apparently to SCO)).
SCO also say that IBM helped port some parts of AIX to Linux.
Thus SCO are saying in their releases that AIX will be hit by their action ??!!?!
Anyone else see a fundamental flaw in their press release ? Of course IBM feel very safe about AIX.

Shame for you that the crime rates in CCTVed town centres and carparks have gone down.
It works, well.
Is this in revenge for the Australian cout judgement agaisnt teh US company that did have involvement in that country ?
Don't forget it's twin-turboed.
Fair enough :)

I agree with that. I'm a track day junky and it's always a joy to see Lotus Elans (original) being driven hell for leather round the track.
