Object recognition will certainly have to become important, since when most cars are using radar you could end up with interference.

I don't think the food industry would be too worried about lost revenue. They will be more worried about the cost of having to create and replace whole new ranges of products to fit into these guidelines, but in the end they will deliver t

I bought a few iPhone clones, dual sim, basic java app support. This was before Android really took off, hence why I'm curious.

Interesting, and I'm hopeful. Though I'm not so sure about what he's saying about Android phones from China. I've bought some cheap Chinese 'smartphones' before and they were unusably bad. Perhaps there are better, Android based, models

Indeed. Most people who are afraid of failure are people who simply can't afford failure. They are supporting their family, their family is not supporting them. It's a nice problem to have if your fear of failure is simply based on ego.

I've seen longer uptimes on Solaris sparc boxes, many times, when they had a board of battery replaced and they booted up with a reset clock which got corrected by NTP after boot.

I think if sound was working on the Linux server estates of tens of thousands of servers that I have worked on, that would be a problem. I don't really see Linux as a desktop OS, but the attempts at making it one is quite valiant.

They do mention that it allows for using cheaper silicon, but doesn't actually quantify it e.g. a potential x.xx% cost reduction. I'm not sure if this is because it's based on PR from Suntech, who obviously doesn't want to indicate how far

I find it quite ironic since I see being confined to IE as having a disability. It almost serves to me as an inspiration to keep myself intact.

I think a good enhancement of the law would be an exception for charging by distance without a legacy meter, if the price and distance was quoted and agreed in advance and the client has means to compare the offer before accepting it (which

In other news, someone proves that earworms, ladybirds and mites fare better on a diet of organic non-GM corn than on conventionally grown and sprayed pest resistant corn.

I believe an arms race between authorities and citizens when it comes to surveillance will also be a good thing. The thing we need to protect against is if governments make this kind of competition illegal, e.g. they can have CCTV cameras

Sure, but I don't think everyone takes into account that the price could collapse down to $20 or below and could take, say, over 5 years or more to get above $300 with a lot of volatility along the way.

What I find funny about most of the comments on here and everywhere else is that many of it reminds me of the investment bulletin boards and forums I've been frequenting over the years. There is always a lot of people talking the price up

Patents on seeds and breeds have been around for many decades before Monsanto came to the party. Farmers tend not to replant seeds for a very long time now, not only to avoid patent disputes but also to ensure consistency of crops. It's o

The more likely scenario is getting the timing wrong, e.g. price goes up to, say $300 before falling down to $100. If you don't have enough to cover it when it hits $300 or the balls to stay in until it goes down, you can still end up with

It's not risky if you know when and by how much it's going to go down. However, you need to have a time machine for that.
