    The picture depicts one car though. That would likely imply that you could send multiples though the tube, kind of like rail cars are sent along the rails. The big thing is that th…

    The one thing people seem to be glossing over is, why or how do all these lost phones and people share the same geographic element between them?

    Would there be any logic in solidifying NaCl for fuels or for burning to drive electric generators?

    Keeping track and sticking buttons all over the place is going to be an "early adopter" feature. Once we get to an overwhelming number of "buttons" it will make sense just to put u…

    I just can't seem to figure out where you are coming from on this. My first question is, why would you plug a device with transfer rates in the 20-40GB/s range into a SATA3(6Gpbs) …

    By relying on closed software on the Drives controller chips wouldn't it just get more complicated? With the price of RAM being as cheap as it is, why not just build a series of sy…

    If the malware came from the Police computers then wouldn't that likely taint all the data supplied, to well everyone? Every defendant for at least the last year will be taking a s…

    When you are dealing with a city of millions does it really seem right to fish one wire at a time? That means terminating the wire at the home too. With multiple ISP's how many of …

    Even though their TOS might state that, it's extremely poor PR to go after the end user rather than the distributor. Most people won't even know that they have a counterfeit chip. …

    "Law = A written order issued by your rulers. " Don't be so obtuse. A law is a written order, adding the remainder is just an inflammatory accusation that undermines the public at …

    Each device sends beacons out at an interval. By sorting all the probes by these intervals (10Hz or what ever) each will likely be slightly different from each other. So my device …

    True but wouldn't the landing pages of most of these services be able to document the OS, browser, resolution, type of device(tablet vs laptop and IOS vs android) and likely a lot …

    Now that the MACs are random does that really solve the problem? A probe request sends out the real MAC of the AP it's looking for as well as the AP ESSID. By using anyone of many …

    IMHO I don't think the 'kill switch' agenda has that much to do with government access but more to do with increased sales of handsets. Right now you can use various software to tr…

    Is this a different implementation of Diffie–Hellman? As far as I can tell (and I am likely wrong) there needs to be one successful connection attempt using a secure protocol, in t…

    "Stealing" a number does not exist. Learning what the number relates to by way of breaking the law should be.

    Or maybe AMD making an end-run on easy porting from Xbox-PS4-PC(Steam). Thus making their wares more desirable ?

    I got on board with the 3GS and IOS 3.0. I can't say that your complaints are justified. The web experience was pretty good because you would 'zoom' in on the part of the page you …

    If it has a repo it could be easily installed via a meta package or a GUI element. Integration of 'apt' and the Steam Store would be cool. I may be incorrect but I believe most cod…

    If I to play some fantasy football here I might go as far as to say the Win8.x Stores might actually be the reason Valve is ditching it. Microsoft could be aiming for a cut of each…

    Those are mainly cosmetic changes. The other 99% was a whole new OS.

    I'm curious to know what they took from W95 to give W2K. I've used NT3.5 and up and I didn't notice any w95 influence, unless you mean start button and desktop.

    Rent for how long though? One month? With no security deposit and no documented income? If you wanted to rent an apartment for one year it would cost $500/month x 12 months + secur…

    Why not just do the same thing we have been using for years, /tmp. If the program just needs scratch space why do we deem it proper to allow any app to traverse an entire partition…
