Sooner or later GG with prescription glasses will be common. People will claim GG is the only set of glasses they own and they are required to wear glasses while driving. One poster meant Google should use the accelerometer to switch off the glasses, when in a car and driving. This would probably not nice to fellow passengers. I think Google should add a feature, which allows cops the use a NFC or bluetooth device, which can detect, whether GG was active the last five minutes. Should be enough time to determine, whether the driver used GG or not. This way it might even be possible to distinguish between use cases. Using GPS is allowed, emailing, watching TV etc. is not.
The 'customer' shouldn't have such fine grained control over the development process.
It is not really a question of fine grained control. More a question of time and money. Suppose you are a consultant, who is asked how much time a certain project needs. You say: Four weeks. You know how to write tests. You like to write tests because you know that requirements evolve and even with a proper design changes in one place might have unexpected consequences in another place. But then comes another consultant, who gives a **** and says: Three weeks. She can do this because she does not care, or is to stupid to even know what a test is. But guess who will get the project?
Customers don't necessarily get what they pay for. But it is even rarer that they get more than for what they pay.
Sadly, I still see developers not testing, and are practically afraid of writing test scripts.
Afraid? Less afraid than not paid for. 'Write your code correctly, then you don't need to test'. A bit simplified, but this is more or less what I heard more than once from a customer.
And what will you do? The majority of people are only brain dead and arrogant meat, which calls people like you tin foil lunatics, and buys those phones if it thinks it can save a fraction of a cent. Given enough buyers, piece by piece SIM card phones will vanish. Even if you stockpile a few phones, what if the carriers won't support them anymore? Stop using cell phones at all?
...but the foo cell phone contains a component, which violates one of our patents. Therefore we demand, that all foo cell phones are disabled immediately.
When I read Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) I thought: Great./. becomes unusable. Some non-tech idiot needed to prove her existence, so something needed to be fixed, what isn't broken. I did not even check the new layout. When I read the comments I see, that I was absolutely right. Still did not check the new layout. I will see it sooner or later anyways. As far as I can see it, it is the old layout for me as long as it is available and then bye bye/.
That's the reason why I avoid web-services as much as possible. Sooner of later some imbecile thinks it need improvements, and it is always a change for the worse.
Why should I? You ask for a way to protect your 'intellectual property' so you can make money with it. If I knew the answer to your question, it would be my IP. Give me one reason, why I should give it to you for free?
100% correct what you say. Nevertheless, masturbating is necessary from time to time. Far too often important technical decisions are made by business people without a clue. Presenting them with some nice power point presentations and impressing numbers might help. Linux on top? Then it must be good. One million flies cannot err. So we might get directly or indirectly another supporter of Linux.
People, who configured their ssh to listen to a non standard port, are aware of a problem and probably at least a bit more knowledgeable than the average user. So I'd expect better passwords and maybe other means of protection. Does it really pay to try higher ports in comparison to the higher effort?
...the following rule: If a porn movie is made, there is an investigation. If the investigation reveals that the women war forced in any way it is a life sentence for the producers. If the women voluntarily participated to make money they are mutilated in a way that no man can ever look into their faces again without throwing up. Sounds crazy? Not much crazier than what I hear from feminazis from time to time.
I hate the USA. And I am always extremely happy, when they manage to shoot themselves in the foot. The 'We the people' petition was introduced, which certainly was a nice thing to do. You needed 25000 votes to be heard. What happens? One of the first things idiotic Americans petition is to build a death star. As a direct result sensible petitions like changing this stupid unlocking law new need 100000 votes. Well done, Americans. I hope you don't get all the necessary votes. Thank your brain dead Star Wars fans.
And if you had three or four detectors in the whole country, how fast could you pinpoint the location of the EMP and react to it? The devices are added to track the felled trees on the transporting truck. So there is no real pressure to react fast. When you detect an EMP you have to be there before the truck and the tree is gone. I am really not convinced of this solution.
Just one result, which popped up when I googled for 'EMP device'. I heard more than once, that it isn't too difficult to build a small one. Might be a legend or not. If my multi million (billion?) business would depend on it, I'd seriously research it.
2) if true, setting up a few EMP detectors would provide real time info on where illegal loggers are operating
So now it is tracking devices AND EMP detectors? Somewhere deep inside the Brazilian rainforest? What possibly could go wrong.

...all kind of information onto the windshield, e.g. speed, but also GPS information. Does this also count as watching TV?

I am sure she would think twice to fake results then.
I don't hire women. Never.
Men not allowed nationalsoz... erm.. feminism? Let a woman do it:

True, the correct term is 'parasites'.

posthumously. Else the might give it to Hitler. For his contribution to the unification of the world.
...which passes the Turing test.
...I'd be mildly impressed. But this is the typical case where a man makes a woman look strong. Nothing to see here, move along.

If Facebook pays me: Sure.

It's a technical solution, but IMHO a brittle one.

Somewhere deep in a rainforest? Really?
