That comes nowhere close to addressing his concern about unwritten quotas...

The reason they drop the speed limits is because there is an increased risk of accident/injury in that particular area. If you really have a problem with it, shoot me the street name so I can check out the Google Maps images of the area. I guarantee the speed limit variation is perfectly justified. Also, there is no such thing as quotas for speeding tickets.

Emphasis added. What's that supposed to mean?

I believe the technical jargon makes it sound much more complicated than it is. Understanding what the scientists did requires knowing about 'random walks' and their significance. Think of a typical processor working on a problem that involves random walk sequences. Now imagine if that was replaced by getting 2 photons to calculate the 'random walk' part of the problem -- speed is massively increased, and quantum superpositions are now hopefully being utilized. The problem, in many cases, may have just become exponentially easier and faster.

Just another "small step" out of thousands we are blessed with being able to witness. Patience is a virtue.

[Citation Needed]. So you're saying there's absolutely nothing illegal about downloading copyrighted media such as television broadcasts, movies, and music from p2p? As long as I don't enable seeding and make the files available for download FROM me, it's perfectly legal? If you're being serious, you have changed my life, because I will leave right now and purchase a laptop to use as a media center for the living room.

Exactly. People expect to be able to use all the innovative products on the same shitty hardware they were using even just 5 years ago. Less than two thousand dollars later I bought a computer this year that will never lag, and won't crash even if I try. Every single feature on nearly every innovative website/service works flawlessly for me, simply because I chose to upgrade hardware to keep up with the corresponding software upgrades. Get a computer with a good graphics card, i7/equivalent, and 6GB of RAM. Not expensive at all, and you will run Vista without any problems, ever, let alone a stable Windows 7 distro.

I just don't like when people refuse to upgrade and then cry because new tech is "resource intensive" - *Hint: get more resources.

What fade? I see no fading at all. I see the search results constantly updating whenever I change the text in the search box, in real time, and it is absolutely badass. I'm a ghost-writer who gets paid to write uni papers, so this will increase my pay because of the smaller amount of time it will take to research a topic. i7 & 6GB of RAM, triple monitors, 50-100 tab browsing, searching multiple engines at once, research organization software/sidebar, and this feature == Less time to make x$, fitting more money into my workday. Thanks, Google.

Mod this man up.

He can simply use a VPN/remote desktop connection to fix it. He's asking about how to provide a live video/audio feed over the internet that will handle long periods of uptime and has a quality audio (noise cancelling) and video (pan/tilt). This is Slashdot.

Give ME a break. I can't believe the "bug bounty hunters" would really sell a Google vulnerability for a thousand dollars - I used to mindlessly wipe asses and roll people over for two weeks for that. It's an insult to their intelligence considering the amount of work they put into the penetration-testing/logic analysis involved. An average-sized college internet-portal exploit would be worth $1,000... let alone one of the largest web services company in the world. I think $10,000 is much more appropriate.

Along with heavy government regulation. Free market restricted by sensible government regulation, thank you FMRBSG.

How can someone just whip out a "commercial satellite bus" business without having a launch vehicle? I'm sure as soon as the half-dozen companies you referenced (plus more that will inevitably be created) are fully functional, "payload launching" will be the next large commercial step.

Thank you so much for putting dumbass in his place; mod this man up; I accidentally already replied...

It's been awhile since Sociology, but Milgram and the Stanford Prison Experiments come to mind. People in power will often abuse their authority unless they will get caught. Period.
