It's a little late in the game to get this seen, but they do this in the NYC subways too. It made for a great video!

Do they have another agreement with Microsoft which establishes a better price for Windows if Microsoft gets to be the OS gatekeeper (as seems to be the case)?

I had the same problem with a WD home server. I returned it when it wouldn't do what it was supposed to do. Later, I started receiving emails from the server as it kept me up-to-date on its status.

I found it very interesting too.

I am very familiar with this classic movie. Nearly everyone in this film went on to have a substantial career. Your method gives the essence of the story, but robs us of the beauty of this movie. You've removed Sidney Lumet's direction and most of Reginald Rose's dialog.

Please tell me a practical application for this.

By the way -- I don't want to diminish what you seem to have accomplished from a technology standpoint. That's impressive. But what is the itch being scratched?

I am 65. No one 66 or older can use your site because you don't plan for anyone born before 1950!

Exactly, BWStearns. That the ARS writer doesn't understand this makes me question whether this wall's in place there?

Maybe as interesting is where this satellite is: The Lagrange L1 point. The 5 Lagrange points in essence allow orbiting bodies to break Kepler's laws. A satellite a million miles closer to the Sun shouldn't have the same orbital period as the Earth... but it does.

I did something remarkably stupid in the past. It's got to be disclosed first thing, right away.

The past is now forever.

The two Voyagers are often seen downloading data through NASA's Deep Space Network. Here's a real time DSN status page: http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html

Yes, I'd really like to hear what it does.

I know it's supposedly new thinking, but I used this trick often in 1970-71. Flying to West Palm Beach from LaGuardia was more expensive than just getting off a flight that stopped at PBI while continuing to Miami.

Thank you Eastern Airlines.

This seems like a 'one off' deal. Tesla can come in, zero emissions exception, but conventional competition against the franchised dealer model is still prohibited. This is solely because of embarrassment, but it doesn't right the real wrong.

Regardless of your opinion of Snowden, the 4th Amendment has been trampled. Its words and simple and clear:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

I lived through the cold war. I remember how Americans held our country up as the better example when compared to the intrusive internal snooping of the communist bloc.

Now (in this regard) we are them!

I am 63. I code sites. I build boxes. I touched my first computer terminal at the NY World's Fair in '64. Fortran on an IBM senior year in high school 67/68. That was my first and last computer class.

I was on the Internet before the WWW.

I am 63, but immature for my age.

I took a Fortran (not recognized by Chrome's spellcheck) class in my senior year of high school - 67/68. I really learned with the book Basic Basic in the late 70s.

If I may, this video would be three times as good if it was half as long. You're going to lose people before you introduce what you're really selling.

The animation is great. Too long isn't a reflection of that.

Alas, deleting it probably means you are the only one not having access to the data! This is the kind of stuff NSA keeps. Surely your telco also keeps it. It's probable some ad networks also know where you were.

Like you, I agree it's invasive, but I think you're addressing the problem in the wrong way. I wish I knew what the right was was!

The color scale is reduced, but that seems to be ground clutter caused by a temperature inversion. It forms after dark and usually breaks up after a few hours of daylight.

I am a meteorologist and have used radar for nearly thirty years. I have yet to see a foolproof system -- and I've looked for them.

A week's on-scene coverage cost more to mount than the usual news from the studio. Beyond that, live coverage 'bumped' many commercial avails. This was an expensive week, not a profit center.

Is this one-on-one or are more connections possible?

The article makes some reasonable points, except registration by the inflight device is necessary. Unless someone is in the hold clicking the EULA that cellphone is useless.

Am I missing something?

I am a meteorologist and depend on NWS data for much of what I do. To give you an idea how deep the disclosure goes, NWS even issues Area Forecast Discussions where lead forecasters discuss in scientific detail their reasons for the specific conditions they predict. Here's one from Upton, NY (covering Metro NYC).

Here's a similar discussion from the Hurricane Center

Good story. Surprised you got to ride home with the evidence.

I love Red Laser and bought the iPhone app, but (and I can't believe I'm saying this) Bing's new upc reading function in the Bing app is head and shoulders light years ahead. Honest.

And it's free!

There are plenty of other problems with this app. It is 2:49 AM EDT on Wednesday as I type this yet the app is showing me the forecast high/low for Tuesday on top.

I agree. The value of Snopes is debunking mass emails. What I want to do is email a short citation, but it's a royal pain-in-the-ass and, as is always the case, it doesn't really stop sites that want to scrape Snopes content.

I am a meteorologist. This GOES-14 visible image loop is amazing (aka even better). http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/projects/svr_vis/eastcoast_s...

I don't want to minimize what happened, but isn't threatening to file criminal charges unless another party pays you money called extortion? I'm sure some fine attorney will show me the error of my ways (and I will appreciate the education).

Before you change to Google Voice for voicemail, please note there is no way to make GV pick up on the first ring. If a call 'times out' from your cellphone it will then ring another few times on GV EVEN IF YOU HAVE DO NOT DISTURB ENABLED. With my phone the wait is so long it's impractical to expect callers to hold on for it.

Please understand, I think GV is primarily good but for many of us this 'lack of feature' is a deal breaker.
