If the primary use for these really is to help find the car in an event of an accident then why are there penalties in place for circumventing the tracking. Shouldn't this be as politically controversial as forcing me to buy health insuranc

It occurred to me that this could be used as a dominance/brainwashing technique. Break a person's believe in his own free will and humanity and they will have little reasons to oppose you, the creator.

From personal experience, we have a team of programmers all from the same group working in an isolated area. At some point a secretary for some unrelated manager was seated among us at it became a huge destruction. By the nature of here wo

What bothers me is that in most news coverage the set up veers further off as "copyright owners" vs "internet giants". This sets the tone that only large Internet business are protesting SOPA because they make money from pirating in some w

I am surprised this has not been done by anti-SOPA activists. This would be using the tools Internet has created to save it shows well it's reach. This I think is the easiest way an individual can get attention of the regular public, after

I don't think companies are of the hook here, especially large ones who control large segments of their industry. It might be hard for them sometimes to change what consumers want, but at the same time they often are the ones resisting chan

That's actually not an 'A', but a 'Д': letter phonetically similar to 'D'.

Interesting to see that UPS stand out from the crowd. They chose that color because it looks professional and dignified, but I'm sure there is some benefit from not looking like the rest of the blue corporations.

Most of us nowadays are well aware that you shouldn't post any information on FB that you don't want to be shared with broad range of people. We now know how flippant FB is about privacy. However that was not the case when we just started u

It didn't even register as a chart related to the story for me. I thought it was an add for MdDonald's (key of the article content) and ignored it.

And yet, now they have this sizable user base waiting to be monetized. It's like selling razors for cheap and making real profit in selling the blades. If only HP had "blades" to sell on top of the touch pad.

I don't quite see how this find sheds new information on possibility of life on Mars. I though the greatest challenges to life on Mars were large temperature variations and lack of liquid water. It is already known that life could thrive in

This is the same problem that has plagued Windows on PC for years before this. Buying a PC from Dell or any other large retailers with Windows pre-installed meant a day worth of removing their crap-ware, support software, and back-up suits.

If the OP's main premise holds, it should take only some research to "expand" oreilly's graph with improvements between each language.

So, communicate? But it's surprising how many people do not do this. I think as a teal leader, you should take care to repeat these points to every new person joining the team.

The problem is that patiens on the vaccine would have higher risks of overdose because they now take so much more cocaine. Also I wonder what percentage of them would try to switch to some other drugs.

To use an analogy, humanity is still an equivalent of a bunch of 3 year olds alone in a middle of a busy city square as far as web maturity goes. Some might know not to wonder into the car traffic but would still fall for a stranger with a

I was actually disappointed by the NYT article. They interview security experts who call the attack "ingenious", "hard to prepare for" and performed by exploiting a vulnerability in a browser. This understates how incompetent the bank's web

On a side note, the banner for his site is interesting. One would guess that a person his notoriety does not need to explain who he is; Britney Spears does not describe herself as "performer Britney Spears", just the name is enough. I think

Taking into account the brain drain that ex-USSR countries suffered in the 90's and lack of any interest in fresh ideas in architecture, music, movies and business, I think the comparison is pretty apt.

Try spending more than an hour visiting every produce store in your (hypothetical) town to find a loaf of bread because they all out of stock by mid-morning, and than tell me that a well-stocked supermarket near by is of no use. Try going t

On the other side of the coin, there was little guaranty that most state run businesses would survive any way. Yes, some were bought up by by shady characters, dismantled and sold of by parts for profit. However, others were bought by the l
