Use a networked swarm of sensor carrying drones to collect hard point sensor data and relay it to the primary computing platform. Also to do overhead image capture of the plants and dirt in multiple spectrum. Bringing the data in for analysis and sending commands to make changes to hardware in the field to optimise delivery.

(was gonna be a long post till I started over. unlike consumer electronics, corporate cable electronics is a you figure it out sort of thing. no appreciable support. the cable companies use proprietary software in the head end and on the boxes. developed in house this software dictates user experience and features. motorola as owned by google would have no say in the direction cable will go. not to mention comcast for example can use scientific atlanta boxes, now cisco boxes if they want to move away from google. imho google wants a way to push semi unlimited data plans if only by taking advantage of its internal network and ad $ generated by its phone users

EPA Quashed Report Skeptical of Global Warming 1057
theodp writes "CNET reports that less than two weeks before the EPA formally submitted its pro-carbon dioxide regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty 'decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data.' In an e-mail message (pdf) to a staff researcher on March 17, the EPA official wrote: 'The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward...and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision.' The employee was also ordered not to 'have any direct communication' with anyone outside his small group at EPA on the topic of climate change, and was informed his report would not be shared with the agency group working on the topic. In a statement, the EPA took aim at the credentials of the report's author, Alan Carlin (BS Physics-Caltech, PhD Econ-MIT), describing him as 'not a scientist.' BTW, the official who chastised Carlin also found himself caught up in a 2005 brouhaha over mercury emissions after top EPA officials ordered the findings of a Harvard University study stripped from public records."

cable providers do not make the boxes and do not write the software for them the box providers do so re think who does not want the cable card to go away. also being on the install side of the cable industry i have seen lg pioneer and sony all have issues with the cable card standard. only the hardware interface to the card is dictated each company has to plan how to use it in the tv this hashing of ideas causes continual issues.
Journal Journal: what needs to be done to fix tech support issues
It has come to my attention that a great deal of time, money, and energy has been wasted in creating a whole world full of software that most people are unable to use with reliability. I believe it is time that we take responsibility for the issue that we have created. By always insiting that we have the most features we have alienated the basic customer by demanding the most options availible. I have been doing some thinking on what needs to be done to fix the growing tech support issues tha
Journal Journal: the state of the tech support
tech support seems to becoming quite a joke. It seems like the outsourcing of tech support jobs to low cost call centers seems to be causing a masive dissatisfaction issue with many of the computer worlds larger software product/service providers. the tech support seems to be guided by the creed of passing the call to the next number on the list. Now i can understand if my side of the issue comes from the fact that i am on the customer service side of things but it seems that some kind of fil

Today is yet annother day at work. its strange to see how a short vacation can change the attitudes of the prople that we work with. For instance, the people I work with are mostly from Canada. Yet for some un fathomed reason most of them took the American Thanksgiving off. in fact even the response to the ad I placed in the paper seemed lax at best. But I beleive this might tie into the Canadians being more American than most of us natives are. The average Canadian is a proud sort with pride

I liked where the director tried to go but!!!
1 can a wormhole violate the time path i always believed that they only covered time space relations in the context of changing the space portion of the formula.
2 if the wormhole always went back to the same place wouldn't it always go back to the same time?
3 how bout the missing 30 min where we get bad guy development and evil laughs from the defector?

I like the idea and was introduced by one of my canadian employees.
