Some cars, like my VW, require the key fob to be in the car or the immobilizer shuts the car off after a very short distance. I believe all VW cars have this now, even the ones without keyless entry/ignition. This of course just slightly

You would still be in the secure area. The problem is that coming from an international flight you wouldn't necessarily be groped for explosives. It's a good assumption that if they have explosives on a plane flying over the US, they are g

That was my thought a week ago. The kinect is limited in that it can only see the front of your body. Some movements obscure your body and it basically just freaks out.

Radiation is cumulative. Saying that you will absorb more radiation in flight is not a justification for accepting radiation from another source. You will still absorb more total radiation. It's a lot easier to avoid the scanner, than it

It's exaggerated because he's intentionally trying to provoke a reaction. It's better that you just let them act unprofessionally all on their own, and then go file an official complaint and another with the ACLU here: http://bit.ly/9KO

It's not any less invasive, you're just being abused in a different way. The difference is that they don't want you to make more work for them. Request a supervisor and or second agent be present for your screening to ensure you waste as m

sadly, sexual harassment has been a common enough occurrence in the open source community that countering it has been a major topic over the past 2 years. Open source communities as a whole have only 1% women, much lower than IT in general

This is like saying people buy water pipes for tobacco They might be entertained by the fantasy of winning money, but the real intent is for winning money.

The initial point of the article is faulty. The federal government was running a deficit before the bailout and stimulus bill. These bills were deficit spending, something you can't do to pay down the debt.

as i understood it you can patent improvements on patented technology even if you don't hold those patents. You just can't ever use your improvements without a license. If that really is true, then Paul Allen isn't infringing, the people w

At this point we don't even have accurate models for most proteins, let alone knowing how to predict what they do. My current project is a search engine for protein chain geometry. We only have ~20% of the known proteins in our database be

correct. This is obvious due to the list of shsh versions on file at 0:28 in the video. The fact that the phone isn't shown, and he's on a canadian carrier doesn't help the case either.

I've loved this plane since I read about it in popular science as a grade school kid. I still remember this line from the article, "after it lands it so hot you can fry an egg on the fuselage".

The premise of net neutrality is that the internet is a limited resource. The physical space required for building infrastructure is limited, effectively making the internet a limited resource as well. Most cities have already leased out

If you keep a connection open it drains battery life because the chip can't power down.

What i don't agree with is that he focuses on the older generation, his mom, when the problems he describes won't exist as much for younger generations. His mom started using a computer past the point where it was hard for her to learn thi

This is misconception that is being repeated over and over. They ARE going after Google. It's very clear. It's also silly to think that HTC is in this alone. If HTC loses, Google loses. They'll throw whatever money/support they need to

Thats what they originally stated in the 60 minutes story. $3000 isn't bad. If what they are claiming is true then you would pay it off in less than 5 years and then have reduced electricity afterwards. Throw in an electric car and you've

Even Real [Networks] figured out how open source the majority of their code base while retaining support for closed technologies such as h.264. The only reason Adobe can't open their code is lack of effort.
