How did you guys celebrate Cinco de Mayo?

And yes, I'm back from the underworld.

I'm just wondering if there is any way to create a JPG file that loads data from the Web. This would allow me to do things like upload a JPG file that shows live data on a Website where the data I...

No, cross-posting isn't a problem. It's not every day someone posts angrily.

In all seriousness, I see cross-posting as an opportunity to get additional help. Maybe someone on another forum came...

You work at UCLA, right? If I ever visit that place, I'll be sure to call 911 at night, just so we can have a nice chat.

He cannot be pre-historic, as being pre-historic would imply that he was not part of history and therefore did not exist back then. Obviously, he existed back then; therefore, he is not...

I hear a lot of old people refer to themselves as young. The young people refer to them as old. But half a century old is not too old.

:lol: That would be a human's job.

I can think of other applications for such a program. Put it in a car and hook up some IR sensors and you could have yourself an automated car. Actually, Google...

Have an idea you think is great? Post it here and you just might get some valuable feedback.

Here's an idea I think is great: a search engine that gives a lot of weight to Webpages that people...

Ok, it turns out you were right, to some extent. What really happens when you call 911 is that a computer determines where to route your call based on the location of the cell mast and, in cases...

At least, on a Mac or other Bonjour-enabled device, they are. With Bonjour, the computer can find a Bonjour-equipped printer on the network. The user does not need to know where on the network the...

iPhone. Enough said.

Maybe the VB user base is getting smaller compared to the rest of the programming world.

They could attach a radar gun and catch other drivers speeding. Think about this: it could result in more criminals being caught. Or knowing that everyone has a camera in their cars that the police...

Think about this. Some police departments are cash-strapped. I say, if they could find a way to finance a program where they can see what you see when you are driving, they can keep an eye on...

Bump!

Hello to the members of the most wonderful Windows development community in the world! I have come to seek your help.

I'm building a function that I can use to approximate the normal distribution...

I see there is a law that will be proposed before the Texas state legislature that makes it illegal for law enforcement officers under the state's jurisdiction to enforce the strict gun control Obama...

I have a great idea. Go ask him. :D

This. I know for a fact there ARE good lawyers out there. In fact, I personally know two of them.

Anyways, we're getting off-topic, and I wanted a serious discussion.

I'd like to have an open discussion about whether a state can legally prohibit the enforcement of federal law.

Let me tell you something. Back in the old days, the Supreme Court made a ruling...

Oh, no. I understand that clearly. I just don't really think you have all your facts straight.

I invite you to have a look at this article. Highway patrol given outsized load of wireless 911...

In Utah, the addresses correspond to the number of blocks to the intersection of Center St and Main St (each city and town have their own Center St and Main St), as well as the direction from that...

As my thread title says, states can't legally nullify federal law. The notion that they can has probably even been thrown out by the Supreme Court. However, because the powers of the head of any...

I think this information is slightly incorrect.

1) The FCC hopes to have all networks transmitting GPS data from new phones in a few years. Certain networks like AT&T currently figure out where...

The Baltimore Ravens or the San Francisco 49ers?

But how many of those devices made it this easy to figure out the address of the place you're located at?

Edit: I should add that you don't have to open Maps either. Just ask Siri where you are.

Calling 911 from a cellphone is different from calling 911 from a landline. This can translate to longer response times. Note: By landline, I mean a real landline, not VOIP, the use of which can...

I'm sure a lot of iDevice users know this cool trick, but I'm going to post about it so others know about it too.

Let's say you are in a building and for some reason want to know the address. ...

After at least a week, I have finally made enough progress on a script I am working on that categorizes items. It's not finished, and the code thus far is clunky and could maybe use some cleaning...

No. He could be wearing a yellow collar, in which case I'll yell "A man with a yellow collar is trying to kidnap me." He could be wearing no collar and I'll change "yellow collar" to some other way...

One could probably find a way to protect the robots from accidental damage while keeping the whole security system cheaper than paying a company like ADT or Monitronics. Heck, maybe those companies...

We're still here. That was the worst apocalypse ever.

I find this rather strange, but the U.S General Services Administration has a Website (howto.gov). The main function of the site is to provide Web-related information such as SEO or microblogging to...

Wrong. Call the POLICE first. You may be able to reach a dispatcher sooner than you can reach a close friend, who will probably call the police or tell you to do so anyway.

You're out on the town. A group of intruders comes to your house and breaks in. Oh no! Luckily, you bought an underpriced miniature robot. When they detect an intruder, it will try to shoot the...

Good advice. I changed my plan. The best plan is prevention.

Be aware of your surroundings.
Make a scene. Yell "A man with a white collar is trying to kidnap me" if the guy is wearing a white...

Carry two cell phones. If I'm kidnapped, the nappers will probably assume I only have one phone, so they'll take one and leave the other. Then, I'll secretly call 911 so the police know I'm in...

You're talking to ME. You called MY line, which is basically MY property. Not yours. So why shouldn't I be legally allowed to record the conversation?

Or is that legally considered vandalism? I would imagine so. I ask this because I want to plaster "DO NOT BUY IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOURSELF AND CHILDREN" on any offending items at the store, such as...

No. It's not. It's outrageous! No government should have the right to punish you for what you say, unless maybe you're committing perjury or threatening the president.

As an example, a while back...
