IMO we'll find a way to travel faster than light. It seems for almost every barrier that is in front of us we tend to find ways around it.

When apps become browser-based apps, we 'might' see more switching. But I still doubt that...I had a few (non-techie) friends that wanted the next Windows desperately, even though they didn't really need it, they only used it for nothing more than a simple OS, and when they got it they complained about how this and that was changed. One was totally confused that the Start button was gone. Yet if I mention changing to Linux, they don't want to, even though the change required is not much different than the previous Windows OS.
I don't think Linux is the problem, people are the problem. And until the general population is willing to accept change, we'll be stuck here forever.

Maybe they don't have a problem or at least one as you see it. You can't attribute a problem that you think as important and expect everyone to respond as you wish them to. I have a Nexus and think it's an awesome phone, no complaints.

When I first read the headlines I thought it was some amazing technology, but then after reading it, I saw it was merely a psychological trick. It would only affect you momentarily while you gather your wits, and even less time now that you know they've made a 'gun' to do just this.
When they create a gun to do this , then we'll be really onto silencing people.

Critics of online surveillance are in the same group as pedophiles in Canada->

ArmchairGeneral writes "Canada's Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, is arguing that critics of a bill to give law enforcement greater access to electronic information are siding with pedophiles. While one or two details make sense such as allowing police to obtain warrants for finding people of interest. Others, however, not so much. Such as, "Require internet service providers to give subscriber data to police and national security agencies without a warrant, including names, unlisted phone numbers and IP addresses". As well as "Force internet providers and other makers of technology to provide a "back door" to make communications accessible to police."
It's no real surprise as the current Conservative government tends to label any Canadian that disagrees with their stance is labelled as radicals or simply ignored"

No, Apple stole it as well. Xerox tried suing them for it, and Apple tried suing Microsoft as well, but the courts at the time didn't understand the implications. In all of those cases they were thrown out.

Can someone explain why it is referred to as tidal locking? I understand the physics, but the name seems like an odd choice.

So the lawsuit that Xerox brought against Apple says it wasn't stolen?

I think those who believe it wasn't stolen are morons.

I despise the fact that the term UFO infers to little green men in their intergalactic flying saucer. You can't say UFO openly without people looking at you strangely.
