Oh, because it's not like you can burn disk image onto physical media or anything like that.

Not that IT professionals are that capable anyway.

And this is utter FUD as well. It's well known the EULA explicitly allows this.

I think not. According to NRK, the man shooting at Utøya, was a tall Norwegian looking blonde. http://translate.google.com/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=no&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nrk.no%2Fnyheter%2Fnorge%2F1.7723132

Doesn't really matter. You paid for the subscription, you should own the content. http://www.spotifyrip.com/ is one solution. Legal? Grey area. Provable in court? Not in a million years. You're recording the playback. There have been apps that do this for everything from shoutcast to a variety of other things. Streamripper equivalents for spotify can probably do this. I see http://spotiplay.com/how-to-rip-music-from-spotify/ pointing to other alternatives.

That was the first result of https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=export+music+from+spotify&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t , and I'm sure that more is coming, especially with US demand.

Do I trust Spotify? No. Do I trust my hard drive with what I choose to put on it? Yes. This is pretty much equivalent to forking an app, except that we can't really trust the labels any more than spotify.

How many billions in a trillion? Seven hundred? I thought it was more like one thousand or one million depending on if you use long scale or short scale. To demonstrate how much a more a trillion is than a billion, think of it as time.

1 million seconds = 11.5 Days (< a fortnight)
1 billion seconds = 31.6 years (a quarter of a life time)
1 trillion seconds = 31,688 years (>8 times the length of recorded history)



Ya, a trillion is a LOT bigger than a billion.

http://www.pdfernhout.net/recognizing-irony-is-a-key-to-transcending-militarism.html
"Military robots like drones are ironic because they are created essentially to force humans to work like robots in an industrialized social order. Why not just create industrial robots to do the work instead? ... Likewise, even United States three-letter agencies like the NSA and the CIA, as well as their foreign counterparts, are becoming ironic institutions in many ways. Despite probably having more computing power per square foot than any other place in the world, they seem not to have thought much about the implications of all that computer power and organized information to transform the world into a place of abundance for all. Cheap computing makes possible just about cheap everything else, as does the ability to make better designs through shared computing. ... There is a fundamental mismatch between 21st century reality and 20th century security thinking. Those "security" agencies are using those tools of abundance, cooperation, and sharing mainly from a mindset of scarcity, competition, and secrecy. Given the power of 21st century technology as an amplifier (including as weapons of mass destruction), a scarcity-based approach to using such technology ultimately is just making us all insecure. Such powerful technologies of abundance, designed, organized, and used from a mindset of scarcity could well ironically doom us all whether through military robots, nukes, plagues, propaganda, or whatever else... Or alternatively, as Bucky Fuller and others have suggested, we could use such technologies to build a world that is abundant and secure for all. "

Sorry to keep sounding like a broken record.

Here is a hypothetical parody remix of the Hitler "Downfall" scene:
http://groups.google.com/group/openmanufacturing/msg/32e8fc32c89c96bd

Dialog of alternatively a military officer and Hitler:
"It looks like there are now local digital fabrication facilities here,
here, and here."
"But we still have the rockets we need to take them out?"
"The rockets have all been used to launch seed automated machine shops for
self-replicating space habitats for more living space in space."
"What about the nuclear bombs?"
"All turned into battery-style nuclear power plants for island cities in the
oceans."
"What about the tanks?"
"The diesel engines have been remade to run biodiesel and are powering the
internet hubs supplying technical education to the rest of the world."
"I can't believe this. What about the weaponized plagues?"
"The gene engineers turned them into antidotes for most major diseases like
malaria, tuberculosis, cancer, and river blindness."
"Well, send in the Daleks."
"The Daleks have been re-outfitted to terraform Mars. There all gone with
the rockets."
"Well, use the 3D printers to print out some more grenades."
"We tried that, but they only are printing toys, food, clothes, shelters,
solar panels, and more 3D printers, for some reason."
"But what about the Samsung automated machine guns?"
"They were all reprogrammed into automated bird watching platforms. The guns
were taken out and melted down into parts for agricultural robots."
"I just can't believe this. We've developed the most amazing technology the
world has ever known in order to create artificial scarcity so we could rule
the world through managing scarcity. Where is the scarcity?"
"Gone, Mein Fuhrer, all gone. All the technologies we developed for weapons
to enforce scarcity have all been used to make abundance."
"How can we rule without scarcity? Where did it all go so wrong? ...
Everyone with an engineering degree leave the room ... now!"

not that i like google so much but the UI is rather good hehe

Obtaining an iris scan is probably invasive enough to require a compelling reason to perform it, and my guess is that under most circumstances that means that one is either 1) already being arrested, or 2) being served a warrant for the collection of it.

Sorry but you would be incorrect.

The Supreme Court has said that individuals do not possess an expectation of privacy in their personal characteristics (see United States v. Dionisio, 410 U.S. 1 [1973]). Thus, the police may require individuals to give handwriting and voice exemplars, as well as hair, blood, DNA, and fingerprint samples, without complying with the Fourth Amendment's requirements.

Iris Scans fall into the same category.

Something like a canvas inside a html document? Or like this http://code.google.com/apis/chart/interactive/docs/gallery.html ? Madness !

They have to take the same acronym as a 20+ year old file format for storing numbers?

It's almost like they didn't bother putting the term 'CDF file' into a search engine to see if anyone else was using that acronym already for a file extension. (of course, w3 even used it twice)

I just double checked http://www.google.com/transliterate/ which has been handy when I'm on a pc that's only got english language packs installed, but that seems to be doomed as well :(

Wow, these game developers sure work fast! There are a few 3D Sudoku games, at least one for OS X.

Be Inc. appears to have disagreed (PDF).

I remember someone had a /. sig with a link to a feature request for Android that users could simply choose which permissions they want to allow an app to have at installation. I think this was the link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3778. It seems to have a lot of support, but apparently we need more!

I also found this one too: http://androinica.com/2011/05/cyanogenmod-nightlies-secures-android/. I didn't read the link in much depth, but apparently it can do just what you describe if you root and install Cyanogenmod

I still use Google Sets as well... if there was one thing to keep from Google Labs, that would be it. I'll have to try the spreadsheet trick mentioned below though!

In other news, I'm surprised they still have my fan logo posted on their site from the late 90s when Google was in beta...

It's not the only application for measuring times in a queue, or other travel-related information. Transportation engineers have started using bluetooth MAC addresses for transit travel times, passenger car travel times, time-in-queue at toll booths, et c. Here's a google search on the subject, if you're curious.

Yeah, MD is a real prize. They have magical disappearing video to help ensure that the bad guys are always brought to justice.

For those too lazy to read linked articles, in Prince Georges County Maryland they've had quite a few incidents with police "caught on tape".... or not. In the most remarkable coincidence in recent history, all 7 dashboard cameras at the scene simultaneously malfunctioned while the police were allegedly roughing up a TV reporter. Another case had a student beaten and arrested for assaulting police only to find that the surveillance video mysteriously malfunctioned at that exact moment. Fortunately for him some random passers-by happened to capture the whole thing on his cell phone video camera. It turns out that the official version of events had a few holes in it.

Wait ... what?
