A solution between owning and renting. I don't want to purchase a home because the cost is too high and I have no interest in being "invested" into the real estate market. However, renting has limitations imposed by the owner: - pet/smok

Convenient travel. Let me or at least my goods travel from any point to any other point with low overhead (<10 mins) at a speed of 100 mph or higher. And let me do so on demand without advance planning.

End all fraud. The online version of this is, Spam, Phishing, Spyware, identity theft, etc. Offline: con artists, political bribery, tax evasion, ponzi schemes. I don't believe eliminating all crime is possible, as I can always whack my n

I agree. Very clever, but I don't particularly understand why they chose a cat for open source projects. Someone care to fill me in?

Nevermind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliodisplay explains it. The projection surface is actually a very fine ist being sprayed. That makes perfect sense, the original website doesn't mention anything about water.

OK, how does this work? What are the basic physics behind the technology? You can't project on "air" as far as I know because it is transparent so the light won't reflect. Anyone know how this sucker works?

Job markets are not as efficient as real markets where you buy and sell things because jobs are not liquid. If I find a job paying $50/hour and someone else is working doing the same job earning $30/hour, I can't exactly make any profit ar

Calling lack of useragents an "invisibility clack" seems a bit of a stretch.

Important point: "Since the devices can be configured with system software not provided by or supported by Google or any other company, end users operate these devices at their own risk."

I disagree with the proof here. He implies that the two statements: Asian children have a simpler number system vocabulary. - and - Asian children learn to count at a younger age. prove the third: A simpler number system vocabulary allows

The article kinda is lacking technical depth, makes me wonder how sensationalist it is or if there really is something there.

The link is an interesting comparison of Apple and Microsoft, but I don't understand why cash on hand is very meaningful. Cash isn't terribly profitable, otherwise I as a market player would just keep cash around directly instead of buying

To be fair, I don't know or claim that Bank of America is doing any of this, just that they could. And even if they did, that wouldn't make SiteKeys foolproof, but nothing really is completely foolproof, all you can do is is be more or l

The argument the demonstrators make is that the SiteKey protection is useless. I would counter that this is not the case. Their demonstration does illustrate that the man in the middle attack can work for a small number of phishing attack

Even videos don't seem that bad - the resolution is small. Furthermore, I don't expect to be watching full-length movies on my phone and even if so I would imagine I'd be plugged into a computer or something when downloading.

Agreed with the evil bit. If you become popular, what is to stop every major search engine to treat links from your site as a negative (spammy) signal?

While I agree text message rates are absurd, we have an economy in shambles, a rapidly worsening energy issue, a very expensive war, and a large hadron collider defense system to build. Senator, please tell me you aren't wasting much of yo

The evidence presented is hardly strong enough to support the claim hinted at by the title. Still, a valid question.

I can see that metadata about the movies becomes worthless, because there is already a wealth of data about each movie entity in the dataset. However, metadata about the users should be fruitful since each user has fairly few data points t

Agreed. I find it ironic since a piece like this is likely written at least partially in an effort to attract programmers to facebook. To me it reads: "Come work for facebook and re-invent online chat. Again." Now, if the article had be
