I expect restaurants to be one of the last places google glass will be acceptable.

I set up a couple dial up modems for a backup connection in case of the failure of a much faster wireless link in an industrial application. Dial-up can still be better than nothing.

I can't imagine that keeping my right hand idle for the once a minute or so I use the mouse is very efficient. I suspect the reason that it hasn't caught on is that heavy use of key-binds so that both hands can stay on the keyboard is the true "better input paradigm".

The "expert" isn't very clear on what he's saying, but to someone who was in the Canadian military just before the end of the cold war, I read his statement like this: Concentrating on fighting against a large-scale land-based invasion of the North is cold war thinking. Development budgets should be spent on fighting current threats. BTW, I always looked forward to winter exercises.

For which the players will need ships not snowmobiles.

Anybody who really cares about good photos and video is going to use a dedicated camera with interchangeable lenses, a larger sensor, reduced rolling shutter and RAW. For everyone else, the current phone cameras are "good enough."

I suspect Matthew built a rifle because making a plastic pistol in Canada would get him into very serious trouble. The laws governing Hunting "long-guns" are significantly more relaxed.

The same thing could be said of many security flaws in industrial control systems. Out-of-control dams, water treatment plants, and nuclear reactors can all kill a lot more people. Until manufacturers are scared a few times by liability from high-profile exploits, they won't do anything about securing their products.

I'm not so sure about that. I've noticed on a couple occasions when receiving friendly hugs from attractive first cousins that they smell like my parents. I'd imagine that's a total turn-off for most.

So open a window or turn on a vent fan when you use a 3d printer. Good to know. Those of us with existing respiratory issues actually do appreciate hearing about unexpected sources of crap in the air.

AFAIK, documents are classified until they are formally declassified.

Employers regularly put filters on work networks. How is this different?

We are so used to seeing stories about patent trolls suing over some obvious extension of existing technology "on the internet." Is this one of those rare cases where a patent holder is using patent laws as they were originally intended?

Wouldn't your statistics for "rate of sexual assault" be lower if you didn't act on rape accusations very often, as we see in this case?
