Ideas are easy. I've got dozens. Marketing is hard, it's why I'm not a millionaire. In this case I wrote the app for myself, after having an extended text conversation where a girl I really wanted to talk to was texting me at odd intervals while I was driving, forcing me to stop every two miles and pull over to respond.
Agreed, its better not to text at all. You're at least somewhat distracted when you do. But lets face it, some people won't do that. My belief is to lower the danger as much as possible for those who insist on texting, and since you keep your eyes on the road I do believe its safer.
As for homophones- voice dictation software these days operates on a sentence. 99% of the time you can differentiate between those words based on context. For the 1% you can't, you flip a coin and possibly send the wrong one. Hardly the worst autocorrect mistake you'll ever make. I'd bet on making fewer mistakes with a readback prompt than you make in normal tapping.
It launches itself when it detects an incoming text. In Android you can declare a class (a subclass of BroadcastReceiver) that will have a function on it called when the OS detects certain events (like incoming SMSes). The motion detection algorithms launch at boot.
"Then two other things must also be remembered: First, Benjamin Franklin opened other people's mail for intelligence purposes during the Revolutionary War. Second, there are two qualifiers present: essential and little temporary."
More straw-man arguments. They were at war with their own government. We are not... yet. The situation is hardly comparable.
As I spotted philosoraptor saying on G+ this morning, Snowden is being accused of Treason (aiding The Enemy) for sharing information with the American People. Does that mean the American People are The Enemy?
Yeah how many processors in your car engine? Radio/Entertainment device? Tires? Clothes? Google Glass? With the advent of smart dust, you can put processors everywhere in virtually everything, and a bunch of that is going to be mobile.
I've come to the opinion that there is certainly a limit to American (human intelligence.) Figure the simple space in a human head with which to form connections has an upper limit. On the other hand, the lack of intelligence seems boundless. Anytime you're certain you've just met the numbest skull in the universe, someone mouth breather will come along and make him look like a Nobel Laureate.
Heck with that, it puts a spin on those cash for gold commercials that's gotta make most guys cross their legs.
If I was going to inject my balls, I'd do it with heroin instead...
The withdrawal for that has got to suck mightily!!!
The problem is getting the shark into the surgical theater...
Laser to the balls... that's gotta be on a Star Wars gag reel!!!
Obama lectured on Constitutional Law at University of Chicago, in a position equivalent to a low level faculty member.
While that generally requires a good knowledge of the topic it DOES NOT make you one of the foremost experts in the field. That accolade belongs to people who have a long history of insight and research, and have devoted their lives to the topic.
Purpose of government:
all men.... are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men
On 9/11 3000 Americans died in terrorist attacks.
Other losses incurred as a result were much worse.
Here's what GitHub says in their terms of service:
We claim no intellectual property rights over the material you provide to the Service. Your profile and materials uploaded remain yours. However, by setting your pages to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view your Content. By setting your repositories to be viewed publicly, you agree to allow others to view and fork your repositories.
That creates some interesting issues. When someone "forks" something, what rights do they have?
I suspect that many people not specifying a license for what they put on GitHub just assume GitHub owns everything.
Underwater hotels have been proposed many times, but no significant ones have actually been built. The Poseidon Underwater Resorts has a web site that looks real, but it's total vaporware. Atlantis Palm Hotel in Dubai was going to build one to go with their water park, but it didn't get built either.
But there are some really good renderings.
