Hell to the yeah.....and if I sort by name, why should it sort the apps with icons a-z and then also sort folders in the start menu a-z as if they're separate items?

BTW, #6 should be punishable by repeated papercutting over a 2-week period in a lemon-juice pool. This is the same reason I rarely install and update itunes on any computer regardless of the fact that I find it to be the most useful music app period.

http://www.its.dot.gov/connected_vehicle/connected_vehicle.htm I can't possibly add more info than the government is already putting out on this subject and we need to let the government know this is ridiculous. It was formerly known as Intellidive but the US DOT is moving forward on funding a road system and cars that will eventually take over when they believe a crash is imminent, or I assume any other reason the government believes you should (or shouldn't) stop. This should scare the shit out of you coming from the same government that decided they would just start listening to all our calls. Not to mention they are calling this a green initiative, so are you ready for the road to decide you're going too fast and slow you down without your help to save gas? Ready to have insurance hiked for not driving a car that can be overridden by the roadway itself?

What would be truly revolutionary as far as TV would be if it would kill the volume on commercials by about 6dB rather than jumping it by 3. Maybe then I could actually watch a TV show while I was falling asleep.

ditto, a thousand times.......the physics of the wireless medium, especially on ***UNLICENSED*** spectrum does not change just because you want it to function differently, so please stop pushing that rhetoric. I gladly put wireless where business requires it but I also do not allow the user to develop unrealistic expectations as to how it can be used. I don't plan on being the guy that tells Steve Jobs "sure, you can run your demo on 802.11 while in a room full of interfering devices, I don't see a problem with that!"

When you develop 802.11z which utilizes different frequencies and gets you the bandwidth you need on a channel scheme that mitigates interference among the hundreds of people that share the space you want to connect in, let us know. Until then, trust the network engineers in the discussion that explain what you want is not always feasible, at any cost. 802.11n will not fix the problem, though it does help. It is also expensive and still inherently not in the same category of wired networking for all of the same reasons that every other version of wireless networking has always lagged behind the wired LAN.

I'm basing it on my enjoyment of BC2, hopefully the same basic engine and new maps. It's the only Battlefield I've played and I still switch to it when CoD gets on my nerves. I hope they tweak it, but I am fully aware that a PC is the only way to get those graphics. The graphics are as good as I need, I'd rather them free up more system resources to get more chumps on the screen to shoot at anyway.

This looks as much like a rebuttal of every CoD fan's outrage over Activision running Infinity Ward into the ground as I could have come up with. They "leaked" what appears to be answers to an interview that will never happen because the public already knows the answers. Activision has squandered their ability to pump out a quality CoD cash cow annually and they want fans to feel that is not the case. I'm not sold. Battlefield 3 trailers are out now that make it look like the new front runner.

Do some research on false positives for breath testing devices supposedly meant to measure BAC before you suggest that it's ok to let go of presumption of innocence in the name of jailing drunk drivers. Have you been working on re-varnishing a table? Gassed up your car before the roadblock? These compounds can register on these machines and create a legal bind for you. Think you can just refuse the breath test and opt for a blood test to prove your innocence since you know you've been working with various solvents? Go ahead, and while they do all of that, you can sit in cuffs because America doesn't believe in burden of proof for drunk driving. Want a lawyer before incriminating yourself? Not with DUI on the table! Thanks to MADD, a group with good intentions that have gone way too far. Bottom line, if you've had a drink or two (not enough to be intoxicated) or have been doing anything with solvents, ethyl- or methyl-based chemicals I would suggest just opting for the blood test. You will likely be in cuffs or taken to intake for processing while they run the blood test, but you won't be fighting in court against a falsely high BAC from a carnival toy that law enforcement has managed to adopt as a fool-proof conviction machine.

I think there is a definite need for more airport security. This is not it. About 10 years ago, I saw a TV show that talked about airport security in Israel. The biggest part of their security was armed guards talking to passengers about where they were going, why, when they would be back, etc. Then they went through what I assume was a basic metal detector and got on their flight. I think this type of approach is far more effective than having a virtual strip show of my 14 year old daughter. Now its even been proven they can magically store these pics on their machines that weren't supposed to have that functionality. If she or I am not comfortable with having now-legal state-sponsored child porn shot at the airport, or if she's randomly or otherwise selected for heavier screening, she can also be groped. I'm pretty sure the emotional trauma could make her stay away from sex for a few more years, but really not how I want her to make that choice. Fuck the TSA, and fuck the president for not stopping this BS. I will not fly until/unless they stop this shit.

You speak for a growing percentage of Americans as well.

Between treating them the same as the former Soviet Russia after it's collapse and the utter lack of security clearance apparently required to know the status of the US nuclear arsenal, it's really not very effective. How is this general knowledge? I guess traitors don't get punished anymore. Long....live...er...please survive, US? I think It's time to invest in assault rifles and train the kids on survival techniques.

Besides, their insured was at fault for rear-ending someone.

While all the sensors in the world may be technically better than my two eyes, if it is a matter of dying in a pile of metal or not running over an unsupervised, poorly raised child, I would rather continue to trust my instincts and experience more than dozens of sensors and millions of lines of code written by the least expensive coder the car companies are willing to keep on staff/contract. If I cannot take my truck which has the check engine light lit to the dealer who made the vehicle and have them tell me exactly what the hell is wrong, I think the last thing we need is more electronics in the damn thing. I don't mind help or additional info from technology but I will never trust a machine like my car to steer, accelerate or stop itself. On a separate rant, if you are not in control who will be? "This is Onstar, your doors have been locked and you are being redirected to the Police Station because your Kindle is reporting you have removed the Amazon DRM from the "Davinci Code". Please remain calm." On a related note, why don't you Google "Intellidrive", and figure out what magical benefit our tax dollars will be bringing us with that crap?

In my early days of young children on the internet over cable modem I woke to find my PC offline. Time Warner customer service advised that I had violated mass email rules and it was likely a virus. I greatly appreciated them cutting me off since it was proactive and they immediately turned it back on with no questions asked to allow me to clean it. I have gotten other smaller infections over the years but would not be opposed to the same treatment. If I have an infection that is hogging the bandwidth and potentially inviting their viral friends to my PC I am ok with them cutting me off. I will very quickly call customer service and as long as they turn it back on immediately, no harm done to me. If they do this wholesale, I would like a call during normal business hours.

I am inventing methods for "Wearing Evil on Your Sleeve", which describes a sort of high-tech Scarlet Letter designed to tip off 'potential dates, employees, friends, stock holders, media, etc.' about your unethical behavior by converting information — ' Inventing things to make average people's live difficult for no reason, number of visits by escorts, unreasonably hiking employee benefits costs, frequency of spending more than you pay your top employees for a year on a weekend vacation, destroying entire ecosystems with impunity, etc.' — into a visual form so that others can see the data 'on mechanisms such as a mood ring, watch, badge, on a website etc.
