More likely the police will be forced to use technology that is already open source.

From the wikipedia article on the P-38:

That brings up a good point. When AI is good enough to get past CAPTCHA it will hopefully be good enough to filter out the spam.

Really? I have expirenced the exact opposite. I can upload at about 60 KBytes/s but my downloads are extremely slow unless I limit the uploads to around 20 KBytes/s. Maybe there is some part of torrents that I am mistaken about.

How about equipping parking garages with outlets?

You'll also have to have the player's avatar explode if they took a few extra milliseconds.

Another idea would be to have a model with multiple poses that would drastically change the silhouette.

A math problem. My favorite. I don't know much about stone cutters but lets assume they can write one bit every 2 seconds. Thats 1 byte in 16 seconds. The internet archive is (4.5 x 1,125,899,906,842,624) 5,066,549,580,791,808 (5 quadrillion) bytes. That works out to 81,064,793,292,668,928 (81 quadrillion) seconds or about 2,570,547,732 (2.5 billion) years. That is far to long for their stringent 2 month backup cycle. They would need 15,423,286,395 (15.4 billion) stone cutters to keep schedule assuming they had unlimited stone. Last time I checked there were only between 6 and 7 billion people with only a small fraction of them being stone cutters. That leaves but one solution. Force the web developers to become stone cutters. This would not only increase the work force but also reduce the amount needed to backup because fewer people will be making more web pages to backup.

The only problem with that is that ISPs are businesses that can choose to serve or not serve whatever customers they wish for whatever reason.

Anyone who has played Bioshock knows were this is headed. Just replace spider with slug.

With $16000 they couldn't afford DDR3? It says in the article that they use DDR2-667 which seems a little to "standard" for this kind of computer.

This coming from the guy whose sig is "Buckle your ROFL belt, we're in for some LOLs."

That is the great thing about steam. If publishers insist on the fact that they are selling a license to a game at least they treat it like one with steam. You can always redownload games which to me is the only advantage to a license. It is not bound to a physical medium that can be lost, broken, or worn down over time.

It said in the summary that he was 73 and had been blind for 30 years. That means he was blind since he was 43 which is far below the "young" age of 50.

You can't tell something is peaking until after it goes down.
