You might not be able to, say use it to prevent someone from having a fatal accident, since if the accident never happened, you would have never sent the message.
Yes you could, you would have to send the message that was received in the earlier time, backward in time again, regardless of the outcome.
Instantaneous communication between two points in space no matter the distance. Great if you want to include other planets in the internet with very little latency. Also computers of tomorrow will be hooked up to these so all you carry is a laptop with a simple cpu and buy extra cpu power as needed.
They need an elevator with shielding for people and also without for cargo. Also scientists aren't dumb, but bureaucrats and politicians have proven themselves incredibly incompetent when it comes to technology related issues.
Ya, we are jumping to the conclusion that the Criminal Justice system nails innocent people all the time. Once you are nailed, there is rarely any recourse. If you think it can't happen to you or someone you know, then please go live in Rhode Island where they have the highest incarceration rate per capita. Take some of those above mentioned books with you while you are at it. The Criminal Justice system, where true justice becomes a crime.
I will only agree to this if it doesn't interfere with my right to be beaten, tortured, and detained against my will. Otherwise, the President can just count me out of this. No thank you, sir!
Remember, the beatings will continue until morale improves!
One of the fine senators from the US state of Utah, one Orrin Hatch, attempted to pass legislation that would allow organizations such as the RIAA to illegally infiltrate and destroy software and information on personal computers of the citizens whom he supposedly represented.
Do you mean legislation to illegally infiltrate and plant software and information on personal computers of the citizens whom he supposedly represented.
Simple, Microsoft should make a version for the U.S. and whoever prefers security replete with security, and another for the E.U. replete with security holes that are the last priority to being fixed. This will fix the E.U.
This project is about giving people tools that they can use to learn and gather information. This is about education and information. I can't believe that people here don't see the value of information and education.
I think the problem is most people here take education and information for granted as it is readily available and ubiquitous. Otherwise, I concur wholeheartedly.
Ignorance is more expensive than education. In some of these countries they believe they can cure AIDS if they have sex with a virgin. It is flawed thinking like this that leads a people to its destruction. Education via a OLPC can change the thinking of the people and lead to a better standard of living. Granted, this can take awhile, and the payoff may not come exactly as expected, but the seeds planted today will bear some kind of fruit tomorrow. The seeds planted currently are mostly of ignorance in these underdeveloped countries. Plant the seeds of reasoning and intellect and watch the living standards rise to something comparable to the United States.
Dell got tired of being referred to as being Dull and figured a few exploding batteries were in order. The rest of the industry noticed, and decided to follow the trend.;)
I would eventually like to see something similar to All Seeing Eye incorporated into a BT client. Files with the same exact name and/or cross-indexed with a hash check would be grouped as one entity across many trackers. I think this would be cool.
We could make clothing that is telemetry activated that we sell to our enemies. Clothing for their uniforms and other gear would be appropriate. If we go to battle with them we can just turn it on.:)
There are some things that should be done, but the cost should be carefully considered to see if there is not something better in which the money may be spent. I personally believe the money would be much better spent on a lunar base and to use that as a launching platform to other planets. My reasoning is as follows:
The moon has plenty of He-3 and we should work on the best possible way to mine this even though we have not produced a viable fusion reactor yet. With plenty of He-3 available it should then be easier to do research on a commercially viable fusion reactor. With a viable fusion reactor, we could then use it to power a spacecraft to other planets. One day we may look back at oil being used as a primary source of energy and laugh. There are other planets that are rich in rare earth materials and that alone could be worth the cost benefit, not to mention in low-g environments, it is easier to bond elements together that are usually repulsed by each other. (e.g Aluminum+1 Magnesium +2) With these currently rare materials it should be easier to make better, lighter, and stronger spacecraft.
Just remember folks, the science fiction of today is quite often the science reality of tommorrow. One day I hope we can move planets to make them more conducive to life , use nanotechnology to terraform and mine an entire planet, and make modifications to the human genome, all to ensure future expansion of the human race.
I hope that politics does not get in the way of our future progess. Someone's pet project usually takes precedence despite all rationality that the money may be spent better elsewhere.

Actually the U.S. flag would become the red, white, and Blue Screen of Death. =P
This looks like it has already been invented.

What's the point in making the term of sentance tougher, if there aren't any resources to investigate online crime in many UK forces?
So that unequal enforcement of the law becomes more unequal?

at the pawn shop, newspaper ads, Ebay, and such? I expect the shelves to be full of modded 360s in no time.
Don't get scammed.
The prosecutors would never file a criminal case, because it would be quickly thrown out on First Amendment grounds? Wouldn't it?
If you think you have First Amendment rights, try shouting "theatre" in a crowded fire.

Apparently he has not pulled his head out of his CPU long enough to tell what really matters.

Or is that a light in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
