Fair enough... but that's still only after you've gotten where you were going. Yes it has it's other uses. When was the last time you thought, "Ohhh, I'll take the car with me so I have somewhere to sleep" as opposed to "So I can get there."
The same can't be said for a wallet. Sometimes you DO just take it with you because it has your ID/license in there. I do think there are is a fundamental difference there.
Until they come with a way of authenticating virtual IDs (Yes, that's a government issued ID on your phone, you can go in/rent tool/buy gun...) I think the wallet will still be around. They are getting there though. Card Star is pretty close as long as it doesn't have to represent you so much as a particular account.
Yeah, I get the impression that whoever did this article is just pissed that they don't have a female Master Chief model for the main game. Note: You can play as a female character model in the multiplayer.
There are plenty of games that are catering to women (uhhh Gears of all games is putting in female playable characters into the story). Just because women aren't in EVERY game doesn't mean they're being ignored. ESPECIALLY since I'm not sure people want to see women getting shot at, maimed, killed, and whatever else. I'll be honest, it was a very unnerving sensation at first to chainsaw through Anya in Gears 3 and it's something I've done to locust and gears alike many times.
I don't really follow your argument. You compare gambling itself to handing an alcoholic a beer and then you went off on a tangent about the State Lotto. I don't really see the connection between any of these things unless it is that you meant to say that private gambling should be legal/taxable and the government lotteries should disappear since you can get the same income from private gambling.
If that's the case then I totally agree. Government Lotteries are wrong. Private gambling should be allowed and possibly be taxed (I'm fine with it but legalizing gambling is a bigger point I think). Same with alcohol and cigarettes. The government shouldn't endorse any of these but should allow them.
Better way of thinking of it:
Would you rather have a program that's been deemed "flawless" with no support or a program that may or may not be flawless but has a good support team?
Flawless programs don't exist. By the time a piece of code has reached perfection, it has already become so old that it's security is moot and defeatable by a teenage girl with an iphone.
The problem doesn't just sit with the fact that attention is a limited resource and that giving attention to underachievers detracts from over achievers... You have to consider what all this SAYS to the brilliant.
You are telling some kids that you aren't good enough and telling the others you're too good. When you try to normalize one half of the spectrum you are going to normalize the other too. Kids who are smart aren't just being deprived of direction, they're being deprived of the motivation to do something.
So far it appears the research on kids show that you need to help motivate them for quite a bit and this doesn't change until they are probably 15 or 16. If properly motivated up until that point, they generally become self-motivating and will actually become hindered if you try to motivate them because their self-efficacy is trivialized.
You know, this might be wonderful and everything but I don't feel like I'm being technologically enlightened.
They didn't explain how the new system actually works. Doppler pings the storm clouds and all that... this system doesn't? If it does then I can't see it being that much faster. And if you're looking at the wireless system to speed things up then you're crazy. The scanning has to get faster first unless you're going to stagger their scanning.
And might I ask what happens when the tornado season really gets under way? Are you going to be replacing these things in the middle of the storm to make sure you don't lose your connection to the rest of the network?
While Vista has had the fewest flaws reported, it has also had the least amount of data found. After repeatedly hitting allow, people have given up and have even started to forget to allow the sending of error messages to MS.
How long do you think it would take for the AI to figure out the random system of the ghosts and started anticipating all of their moves? That would be interesting.
Didn't we just COME from curved monitors? old news slashdot...
Actually this monitor looks pretty awesome. The only problem is that that's an insanely skewed res. How will that ever make things look normal?
Maybe the problem isn't what the professors are teaching so much as the mass of students who aren't suited for the kind of concepts that are in programming. It's the wave of the future and a lot of people are drawn to that just for the sake of it. Besides, how many played video games and said "wow, wouldn't it be cool to make these?"
After just recently "Finishing the Fight" (sorry, MS I know but it's fun) everyone knows Cortana and the MC are gonna hook up. Course he's a Cyborg anyway.
Seriously though? Not happening by 2050. That would be probably as odd to people as marrying animals. People and animals go way back and it has never even become remotely close to happening. Robots are the going to be the same way. It can make you feel good but it's still not human. It'll make it a niche deviance at best.
As far as I know, the RIAA has always favored college students. Occasionally they go for someone a little different, like an 8 year old, but for the most part they are going after people who, whether they put the effort into it or not, are probably intelligent enough to put up a fight in law school. They might not be bar material but these tend to be relatively intelligent people, most of them with a high degree of computer literacy who are probably more than capable of finding the pertinent laws somewhere and reading up on them.
They are also at a very social stage of life and probably are rather skilled at public speaking, especially if they are going for some type of business degree. Not only that but they just finished their teenage stint in dating where they tend to spend a decent amount of time around the other's parents are most certainly capable of being respectable to judge.
And lastly... no money tends to motivate people not to lose more quite well =).
As for the rest of the population. The people most likely to download large quantities of music are the people who spend the most time in front of computer, and those people tend to be intelligent and knowledgeable in their own right... Though in some cases they could greatly benefit from the hygiene recommendations that started this thread =).

I have to agree with the anti-database argument. DNA evidence is considered exceptional in any case, much like finger prints. Unlike finger prints though, it is much easier to get someone else's DNA and put it at the crime scene. You could walk into a person's place of work with a piece of tape along one of your fingers, collect hairs from the chairs around the work place and you pretty much have free reign to kill anyone in that office as long as you leave someone else's hair at the scene.
There would only be two possible out comes if this became common place, which it would if there was a database of that scale laying around. Either would have mass mis-convictions or DNA would become totally useless in court. In both instances you would lose what we have now. A system that is mostly right (or so I hope) or an invaluable tool for court.
I wonder what a mouse's delusions of grandeur are. All I could imagine is a mouse running around constantly, either in an invisible ball or after invisible cheese. And you have to watch out for those secret government mice that are wearing cloaking devices that only they can see through and who don't age.
Sure, a planet with water and no life... I'll be impressed when we find a planet with life and no water. Only because for once we would have looked away from water, not because I thought water is necessary. Why not have a life form that survives purely on beer?
While being a son would mean that there would be more need to learn from an older male, I do believe I've read somewhere that the absence of a prominent male figure head in a girls life increases the risk of destructive behaviors just as well. In fact I think (just speculation) that if a daughter lived just with her father she could be in for just as much trouble as a son with just his mother. course you can argue both sides of that, I don't have any sources as proof... no statistics or anything.
Personally when Ohio University went looking for donations later I'd tell them to go talk to the RIAA. Not like they'd get their money from them but after being backed out on I would certainly feel abandoned and unwilling to donate to a school who provided only as much as I paid for. Either I paid for my degree or I didn't have enough money to pay for it and we'd be square. I kn ow it's not the University's responsibility for backing up the student for something that is illegal but they should make a stand. Universities are where we look to for change. Maybe that's just one more thing that our educational system is losing?
I didn't watch the show but people who know what they're doing then they might unconsciously fight it. If this is the case then that's bad work on the Mythbusters part. If not than that low of a co-efficient is rather surprising.
I think man has evolved further than chimps have. Chimps fling poo. We fling poo (politics) and then we shoot eachother. See? We have twice as many steps under our belt!
