Re:MAC addresses
While the MAC address burned into the network card is permanent it is possible to spoof a MAC address. See here . In fact this type of thing is commonly used in clustering and also when using multiple NIC's for redundancy although in this case you present a common MAC address to the network switch so that if a card fails the MAC address presented to the switch does not change.

Re:In closely related news ...
Now, the difference here is that the genes are isolated from the body as a whole, but it seems like we're not too far from being in breach of patent every time we get it on.
No we're not, but the company is already charging thousands of dollars for you to know if YOUR copy of the relevant gene is mutated and if you should be more vigilant about breast or ovarian cancer*, which is of course criminal by any sane standards.

Re:So Let Me Get This Straight...Uh, do you realize you are making an argument ad ignorantiam? Do you see why that is a fallacy? I shall hire the bricklayer as my chauffeur. (A joke, but you must realize, the service sector is huge).
s/years/decades/ Oops.
Oh ok.
I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers. The 90s were great for income. Not only that, in general vacation time increased. In California, we even have something called 'Paternity Leave.' Check out this chart for total compensation per hour worked.
It's easy to be mislead by these kinds of statistics. For example, in the last decade and a half, we've had a huge influx of immigrants from Latin America, many of whom are extremely unskilled. They are obviously going to weight the statistics towards the bottom. -

Irony:Koza used the code to design around Patents
I work with genetic algorithms and genetic programming (GP), which is what the code in question is used for. John Koza once used the GP code to evolve a circuit that designed around an existing Wi-Fi patent. http://ipbiz.blogspot.com/2007/10/evolutionary-approach-to-design-around.html. I find it ironic that the current question is how to write code that designs around the original GP code. Technically you could use the GP code to evolve code that didn't infringe on the copyright or patent of the GP code.

That was very quick!
I am amazed that they were able to gather such specifics so quickly from the Fukushima accident when apparently even the Japanese government still seems to be clueless to the extent of cesium contamination (though, they continue to give out low-ball estimates that do not align with observations in the field . .
.). Oh, or maybe this does NOT include lessons learned from Fukushima? Then why the peculiar timing? Perhaps this is just more industry damage control through PR efforts?
In that case, I am not too interested. I would much rather listen to professors with the balls to yell at the Diet of Japan than looking a the industry/regulators give each other reach arounds . . . -
Re:Don't know who this "public person" is
It sounds like it's part of an immature back and forth between two buddhist twitter camps actually. The KPC it refers to is evidently the tara.org camp. I guess the other guys were saying mean things? I could be misinterpreting. The author there seems to think that obviously, everyone knows who is who in the American Buddhist twitter community.
Maybe they felt that Buddhism wasn't competing well in the "Religious loons online" contest, and they were worried scientology was going to take home the cup again this year. -

Re:Could Someone Help Me Out With This?
Of those you listed I only have a mortgage, but unlike the government I have a plan to pay it off and actually will have it paid off probably 10 years ahead of schedule and am not incurring new long term debt. I put my self through school, and drive a 14 year old car that I take care of that is paid for. I do use a credit card even though I don't need to, and you know what I pay it off every month in total (previous balance and any newly incurred charges since the new billing cycle started). Add to that the fact I get the bonus of 1% to 5% cash back for purchases made with the credit card and every thing gets paid with it. Every month I put my utilities, mortgage, fuel, groceries and all other expenses on it and then it gets paid off in full. I even put my car on it when I bought it and while in college I did the payment plan for tuition and would run it through my credit card each month paying it off when the bill came due. I have never missed a payment or had a late payment. I believe I have sufficiently gamed the system. It isn't too difficult to do this either, you usually just need to delay getting that new toy. I chose not to live like my mom and step-dad who have a house they can't afford(3500 sq. ft on 1 acre), cars they can't afford (replaced every 5 years with a new one), going out to eat every night, no savings, and now now job and not looking for one. It seems like you are asking me to feel sorry for people who make bad decisions, truth is I really don't care as most people chose their life and just don't want to admit that it is their fault.

Those extrusion 3D printers are crap
If you're really interested in 3D printers, take a look at this one. And especially this page where there's a comparison between FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and Digital Light Processing printing.
The DLP is so much easier to build, the results are so much better and it prints so much faster that I wonder why so many people are still working on FDM.

THIS is how (a better way)
20++ ADVANTAGES OF HOSTS FILES OVER DNS SERVERS &/or ADBLOCK ALONE for added layered security:
1.) HOSTS files are useable for all these purposes because they are present on all Operating Systems that have a BSD based IP stack (even ANDROID) and do adblocking for ANY webbrowser, email program, etc. (any webbound program).
2.) Adblock blocks ads in only 1-2 browser family, but not all (Disclaimer: Opera now has an AdBlock addon (now that Opera has addons above widgets), but I am not certain the same people make it as they do for FF or Chrome etc.).
3.) Adblock doesn't protect email programs external to FF, Hosts files do. THIS IS GOOD VS. SPAM MAIL or MAILS THAT BEAR MALICIOUS SCRIPT, or, THAT POINT TO MALICIOUS SCRIPT VIA URLS etc.
4.) Adblock won't get you to your favorite sites if a DNS server goes down or is DNS-poisoned, hosts will (this leads to points 5-7 next below).
5.) Adblock doesn't allow you to hardcode in your favorite websites into it so you don't make DNS server calls and so you can avoid tracking by DNS request logs, hosts do (DNS servers are also being abused by the Chinese lately and by the Kaminsky flaw -> http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/082908-kaminsky-flaw-prompts-dns-server.html for years now). Hosts protect against those problems via hardcodes of your fav sites (you should verify against the TLD that does nothing but cache IPAddress-to-domainname/hostname resolutions via NSLOOKUP, PINGS, &/or WHOIS though, regularly, so you have the correct IP & it's current)).
6.) HOSTS files protect you vs. DNS-poisoning &/or the Kaminsky flaw in DNS servers, and allow you to get to sites reliably vs. things like the Chinese are doing to DNS -> http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/11/29/1755230/Chinese-DNS-Tampering-a-Real-Threat-To-Outsiders
7.) HOSTS files will allow you to get to sites you like, via hardcoding your favs into a HOSTS file, FAR faster than DNS servers can by FAR (by saving the roundtrip inquiry time to a DNS server & back to you).
8.) AdBlock doesn't let you block out known bad sites or servers that are known to be maliciously scripted, hosts can and many reputable lists for this exist:

Re:It's the risk you take
This is exactly like renting your home out to a random stranger from Craigslist.
No, it's not., as the victim explains:
Then along came airbnb.com, with its accolades in the media and great reviews, and it seemed like the perfect solution! Certainly it's a brilliant idea, offering a controlled and seemingly low-risk environment in which travelers and hosts can connect and exchange - the Facebook of couch-surfing, so to speak - that appears to eliminate all the insecurity and randomness of using Craigslist.
...
Yet now I ask myself this: for what, exactly, did I pay a service fee to airbnb.com? What did I get in exchange for my 20-something dollars? What was the advantage of using this service over Craigslist, which is free? Ironically airbnb.comâ(TM)s site states âoethe promise of our site is that it is entirely transparentâ when in reality, it is not. And therein lies the fundamental, though not immediately apparent, difference: on Craigslist, I am warned loudly and repeatedly that use of the site is at my own risk. I am encouraged to take certain precautions, and I have the ability to do so by gaining quick access to the email addresses, phone numbers, and other identifying information of the person(s) I am communicating with, all of which can be researched and at least somewhat verified by means of basic internet searches. Alternatively, airbnb.com tightly controls the communication between host and traveler, disallowing the exchange of personal contact information until the point in which a reservation is already confirmed and paid for. By hindering my ability to research the person who will rent my home, there is an implication that airbnb.com has already done the research for me, and has eliminated the investigative work that Craigslist requires.

Re:Perversion of Capitalism
You're concerned about Layton making $200,000 annual salary as leader of Canada's official opposition, who publicly subjects himself to the kind of nonsense you just spouted 24/7?
College Football Coaches Salaries - Top 100
Layton misses the $375,000 cut by a Canadian country mile. Obviously, coaching a football team takes real talent; if the players lose faith, they tune you out; you're under incredible public scrutiny to perform now; it's not the easy street of running a country, giving good quotes that don't blow up in your face, or placing well in national elections.
I understand that snowflakes tend to congregate in snow drifts, but how is it that our precious snowflakes are stuffing the ballet box? Our elections are won and lost on the fat demographic bulge of baby boomers nearing retirement with visions of Nortel still in their heads. These were the precious snowflakes of previous generations. Have you seen the footage of previous generations? I bet you've heard the music.
The jobs that used to fall off trees for young people have A) been outsourced to China, B) locked up by older Canadians who still dominate the work force, and C) no longer subsidized by the free-love price of gasoline in 1960.
The precious snowflakes aren't quite as stupid as you make them out to be. They understand that ten years from now when the boomers have mostly retired and are struggling to manage their booming personal health care burdens, there's going to be a sharp correction in the value of compensation available. Someone has to process all the paperwork for the millions of immigrants we are going to require to stretch our underfunded pension programs to the Freedom 95 finish line.
By the way, our pension funds aren't half so "underfunded" as you hear in the telling. When pensions were first established, not many people lived well past retirement age. It has never been economically feasible to support 1/3 of a western country's adult population out of the work force at a three car garage standard of living. Why were those promises made in the first place? The voting power of a grasping demographic bulge. It sold well to the masses, didn't it? All you had to do was convince the Saudi's to play along. Why conserve a precious resource for a rainy day when you can promise it to the flower children in their golden years instead? Besides, it never rains in Saudi Arabia. The pension program "underfunding" is a lot like the Madoff losers, who at first reported losses against what the crook had promised, oblivious to their failure of due diligence. Harry Markopolos wrote a newsletter packed with salient insight, and no-one subscribed. You wonder what these greedy people did to earn their success in the first place, or if the bulk of privilege accrues from hitching yourself to the right crook on the way up and knowing when to severe your ties.
Harper's contribution has mostly been to muzzle the people who work the equations: statisticians and scientists. The feelings of love emanating from the newly retired that get a politician re-elected for multiple terms are mainly threatened by accurate accounting. Nobody ever said Harper was stupid. It's our job, as the electorate, to demand better, should be choose to use it.
Some of us did. Layton will do a fairly competent job of clearing his throat and shaking the carpet as the worst of the Tory blinkering. The whole dynamic is entirely stupid. It's a natural thing when you've promised a large group of people eternal sunshine (that you could never afford) to shoot the messenger when the heroine wears off. Harper would be insane to accelerate this. That's why a democracy also needs a competent opposition party: someone has to be the bearer of bad news if anything is going to change soon enough to make a difference.
I don't see how our precious snowflakes could do much to deflect this iceberg even if they lived o

Re:Follow the data!
Right! Follow the data, the problem is this isn't data it is a really bad analysis. Back in January Andy Dressler of Texas A&M shredded both Lindzen and Spencer ( http://sciencepoliticsclimatechange.blogspot.com/). Andy demonstrated how really flawed both Lindzen's and Spencer's analysis. Quoting Andy Dressler Correlation does not prove causality. Period. I honestly cannot believe you want to argue this point. The fact that you do lays bare the intellectual bankruptcy of your “clouds cause climate change” hypothesis. It’s now evident that there really is no actual physical evidence to support it. Spencer did not at the time nor does he now understand that correlation does not prove causality. The "paper" he published was not reviewed in shape or fashion, rather it was printed in a self-publishing rag that is supported by the Heartland Institute, a oil/gas industry supported climate denial noise machine. Spencer is not a NASA employee, rather he is a UAH embaressment. He did not collaborate with NASA scientists rather he used NASA data publicaly available. The Yahoo announcement was by a SPPI/Heartland Institute. So Yes let's follow the data rather than listening to an Oil/gas industry spokesperson

Re:I'm apparently pretty good at rating myself
Congratulations - you've outed yourself. You're who we're talking about. That wasn't hard. For your sake I hope this is a throwaway account. I've friended you here and I hope all my friends will too, so we can see the nonsense you post. Now that you're stuck in it, do you see the trap? In hindsight it should be obvious. Those were features iPhone lacked about a billion phones ago, when they faced competition that didn't have those features, or lacked other critical features iPhone did have. They're also features WP7 launched lacking that both iPhone and Android had when WP7 launched. You detected that and sensed you needed to defend your platform without understanding either the temporal context or who you're talking to. You lose. You're exactly who we're talking about. You know your job is to defend your platform, but you lack both context and art. You don't even mention WP7 in your post but by your derogatory remarks you hope to sway, and you can't because temporality prevents it.
When gas is four bucks a gallon fuel efficiency is going to move a lot of cars and American Muscle Cars are a premium item rather than a mass market item. If your job is to move Chevys then your job is to emphasize the luxury of the experience, not the cubic inches that burn fuel. When phones that alert you to who is calling by the ringtone MP3 you've associated with the caller is the standard form then phones that lack that feature are in the bargain bin and you need to draw focus on other things if moving those bargain bin phones is your job. It's not your job to point out that in years past different people focused on different things. To attempt to come to market with such a thing is a fool's game. That's not your fault because you're in Marketing rather than Engineering. The lack of the feature is an Engineering fail. But that you felt the need to come here in this context, reach so far to defend your product and not realize you're out of your depth, that's a Marketing fail. You guys really suck on every level. No wonder you're finding new lows in morale every quarter. Your final line's attempt to become reasonable isn't enough.
Now that you've burned this account for me, I may as well give you a little back. The whole "Apple is mindbending" thing isn't working. You know what? I don't aspire to Apple products and I'm not going to, but I would be flat stupid to try to pretend that others don't. I don't care for them because their Cathedral doesn't appeal to me. I prefer the Bazaar of Android. The others that do? I wouldn't alienate them by calling them stupid. They like different things than me. They have different needs is all. iProducts are good gear. I've walked around with an iPad, and complete strangers felt the need to strike up conversation and see the thing. Apple products just don't suit me because I demand to be the master of my gear. If you don't have that issue, they have iMovie and GarageBand, which is a great deal for what you get. I knew I was giving that up when I bought my Asus Transformer and I'm OK with that because it's got microSDHC, and it obeys me above all.
Do you see what you've done now? Do you have any clue at all? Is your supervisor looking on? Maybe he can explain it to you.
It's hilarious to watch you all fail so spectacularly and so predictably. Do you have any idea how entertaining your failure is? If not failing weren't so freaking obvious it wouldn't be as funny.

Not the whole story
It's unfortunate that Schwartz's blog is gone, and that ZDNet didn't drill down a little more carefully to check dates on things. I was working with Sun on the java.net site at the time, through a contract with O'Reilly. As I recall, the story is actually somewhat worse. The rumor mill reported that Android would be using Java, and Schwartz went off half-cocked and praised Google for the "Java/Linux platform". Writing for java.net, I said "But I didn't end up putting this on the front page, because I just couldn't source the Java angle well enough (no offense, Jonathan, but you did say ZFS would be on Leopard...)." (that's the current editor's headshot on the page, not me, BTW).
Not too much later, Google laid out the details of Android, including the Dalvik VM, which meant that Google was only using Java the language (which it didn't have to license) and not Java the VM (which it would have had to). What I heard through the back channel was that Sun was pissed, believing it had been stabbed in the back. This made for a very awkward scene at Sun's mobile-focused "ME Developer Days" a few months later in January 2008: the Sun people had clearly been told to not talk about Android or acknowledge it in any way, which led of a few awkward moments of dancing around the elephant in the room. The first night of the conference, the Java Posse stopped by for dinner, and upon seeing Dick Wall (who at that time worked at Google), the first thing I said to him was "man, are they pissed at you guys."
Relevant dates and links:
- November 5, 2007 - Google announces Android, doesn't mention Java
- November 5, 2007 - Later that day, Schwartz posts blog praising Android as "Java/Linux platform"
- November 12, 2007 - First release of Android source, Dalvik revealed. This blog, written that day, has a pretty good explanation of the fast one Google pulled on Sun. "How did Google manage to get Sun to license off a platform that could very well kill their own? Turns out, they didn’t: their move was even smarter than Sun’s."
Anyways, assuming my recollection of events and this timeline is accurate, Schwartz's blog should not be taken as an indication that Sun knew about and approved what Google was doing with Android. What it does prove is what a lot of people knew then but wouldn't say: Schwartz was a clueless loud-mouthed buffoon who happily fiddled away on his blog as SUNW burned.

This is a war; predicted as early as 1984 and only following a curve projected and postulated. This is certainly in keeping with the internet being an "information revolution." That wasn't a facile saying. No entrenched government, corporation, monopoly or plutocratic oligarchy has ever nicely handed over the reins to the future.
The fact that this was written about by a hundred people more than 15 years ago takes it from the realm of "tin foil hat" into "trend analysis." If you aren't old enough to remember, try starting with the links at the end of this post.
