if you don't like it, don't watch it

the whole point of having a COMPUTOR is so that you can manipulate your own media, ie get rid of ads.

whose whole point? Not mine, certainly. I user a computer to create my own media (fwiw ...); I don't expect to forever to be able to manipulate others' media as I wish and free-of-charge.

i hope more people realize that this is just headed to having all internet videos with commercials on them, without the user knowing what they are even getting.

Unlike television, cable and satelite where you're given a rundown of every advertiser beforehand?

this shit has to be left in the dust by everyone, or you wont recognize the internet in 15 years; it will be like digital cable, only with commercials.

George Carlin's as right as ever: use the knobs to change the station or just turn it off completely. Don't try to take away my ability to chose just because you don't like it.

the online advertising ecosystem - should it take hold for video, as well - will provide a lot of incentive for some creative people to do creative things and perhaps even profit by it. (There must be *some* entertainer you don't begrudge a profit?)

It also creates opportunities for ...

hopefully people will keep writing software to prevent this from happening.

bingo - that, too -

Google makes money placing advertising on services people like using. To this point, I still don't mind their advertising. If you do, you should stop using Google.

A lot of groups are having dramatic success with fighting mosquitoes by the use of their natural predators, dragonflies. Basically mosquitoes breed in any body of open water, so by inroducing dragonflies to the mix, there are no more mosquitoes. You need to keep adding them every year, but at least its envirnomentally safe (or so it seems so far). As an added bonus, they sure are pretty. :D

Ya know, I can buy a lady shaver for a lot less than this "communicator" used in Episode 1.

The HVAC community is definitely different from Open Source community, and whenever they get close, it gets quite hot

Doesn't seem that hot - fun reading I'd say! The idea is great though (not new, but great) - As open source branches in to more and more area, the people involved with open source software are more likely to adapt OSS principles to non-software aspects of their work.

"An open-source future is one in which we realize that reality itself is open source" to quote an unknown guy on the internet. Hope it happens this year!

The game from Parker Brothers facinated me as a child. One of the reasons I went into computer science was to find out how it could play tic-tac-toe.

Or Pat Robertson in the role of L. Bob Rife in 2005.

terrence mckenna already has software prediction algorithms for it :D

And how is inventing a character but not allowing just any person to do anything they want with it, without permission, "Screwing the American public?" How? In what way?

Nice troll. Surely you realize that virtually every artistic work borrows (often heavily) from other (usually popular) works. Shakespear wouldn't have been able to write many of his best plays under the current copyright regime. I believe he copied Romeo and Juliet from The Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1577). This page also mentioned that he borrowed from a (then current) translation of Plutarch's Lives. In short, Shakespear was clearly a criminal, along with just about everyone else who has ever created anything great.

Well, caffeine molecules absorb free radicals... Then again, caffeine is a mutagen...

Caffeine absorbs free radicals, so there is less stuff that is likely to damage DNA (cancer is Damage to DNA, and the process that regulates cell division)

However without adenosine regulating sleep (and body regeneration), you could only wonder what more short term problems are more likely to happen then Cancer

As for mutations
Caffeine is a "base analogue" of Adenine, and in fact can sometimes be incorporated into a growing DNA chain, instead of Adenine. Caffeine is a weak mutagen, for this reason. From http://fusionanomaly.net/caffeine.html

Caffeine can be used IN DNA yet another use, but digressing, the damage that could be caused by caffeine possibility replacing C/G/T in DNA with pseudo-A could be immense, but I am yet to here of a story that mentions Caffeine as the major cause of cancer, or another genetic-based disorder
