Thanks for the link, now I'm a terrorist for clicking on it....

..so the NSA can log more of our traffic....and low income people need to be watched too. And we all need google glass too so the NSA can watch what we watch so....terrorists......or something....I don't know, just copy nsa@assclowns.gov on anything you send, it helps prevent you from being a drone strike victim, err, I mean a terrorist...Merica!

They just want to be like Merica! Someone tell them that they can just keep borrowing from China indefinitely.

So your theory is that he wanted free advertising instead of genuinely not wanting to deal with patrons constantly recording and uploading his and all of his patrons every move? I am absolutely disturbed by what the general public is willing to take, and scared by the utter lack of privacy they are willing and happy to live with.

The state should be no more than a representative of the population, if the people in that state believe it is better to put down a rabid dog, or a serial rapist or a murdering mother, than it is not the state asserting power. It is the people stating that they believe there are things and people that are not capable of rehabilitation and not worth keeping alive indefinitely. If you actively catch someone in the act of murder and can justify killing them to save a life, then why is it so reprehensible for a jury to later point out that the same murderer has no right to further life?

That's because software development is on a different playing field from network. Network and network security go and in hand, drop the software development and you'll fill it within a month.

It's a PC you don't have to support yourself, worry about constantly upgrading hardware on to play the next game or clean viruses off of. Win-Win-Win for simplified stress-free game play.

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.
