This is not a problem with using a GPS, the problem is the shift from using different mapping technologies. Trying to get satellite and the map portions to line up is very difficult. Trying to do it on a global scale with data from multiple

>The backend shouldn't be more than about 150 hours of true programming... Someone who can't program knows how many hours it takes. I can't wait for opportunity to do half the work and get 3-5%, where do I sigh up?

US immigration is just like a Monty Python sketch and contains some Yes/No questions, such as; Have you ever committed Genocide? Are you coming to the United States to practice Polygamy? Are you coming to the United States to use or deal in

The email I received was titled "Google App Engine Leaving Preview". And it states "We plan to roll this out in the second half of September...." The scariest part of looking at my billing history is "Frontend Instance Hour costs reflect a

Even going to Best Buy to try a unit does next to nothing. Pretty much everything that they sell has a flat battery, is stuck on a screen or suffering some other issue. Except of course for the Apple display. All working. All looking good.

A lot of your points seem to cover international issues/action. The US needs to come to the realization that it is part of the world economy and not the ruler/leader. A large percentage of the US economy was damaged in the events that occur

Arbitration can be a bitch. The Arbitration company has a tendency to rule in favor of whoever is going to bring them the most repeat business.

>Most people would still use and pay for the subway, even it were privatized. Given that nearly all the public transport for large cities is provided at a loss, I wonder if people would pay? History suggests not. I have no idea if the r

Lets play spot the difference. From the article; "Her goal is not to sell the service to consumers, but rather to the government." And now we change two words; "Her goal is not to sell the service to consumers, but rather to venture capital

This is one of the dumbest things Google has done. If Google really wants to get rid of 90 percent of spammy sites all they need to do is block any website that is registered with Godaddy.

There is plenty of good material on where to start with programming. Most of the links other people have provided here are very good. A fairly good resource is Google Code University; http://code.google.com/edu/ In particular you may want

I feel like a rant. Editors: The best editor/editing environment of the bunch is the Microsoft offering of visual studio. The biggest problem is that it is only well suited for Microsoft products. There are a few others and there is eclipse

The money is in the presentation of the data. There is still plenty of money in the software.
