seriously, it sounds as if you're expecting your upcoming daughter to become a slut.
Our daughters are becoming sexualized at an increasingly younger age; what used to be sex qua liberation is quickly becoming an enslaving self-prostitution.
You may notice an inconsistency: agitation about sex-crimes is coupled with sexualizing pre-teen-propaganda.
I used to be the kind of autistic bachelor whom parental surveillance offends; now that I have a daughter on the way, however, I have to find clever ways of curtailing décadence with a light hand.
Just such a device may allow my wife and I to manage her intake of diseasèd cock; nevertheless: $0.50/ping is a good way to rack up frivolous, surveillant dollars.
I remember the first web services summit we did, where a Microsoft developer who I won't name admitted that SOAP was made so complex partly because "we want our tools to read it, not people."
Just as I suspected: SOAP suffers from an artificial (read: gratuitous) complexity; what more do you need besides XML-RPC, anyway?
Google quietly shutting down services, on the other hand, reminds me of differentiating stem-cells: the honeymoon is over.
I was curious as to how TMM stacked up against mailinator, my anonymous email of choice; mailinator has a time-limit of several hours, and its interface is slightly more elegant.
“Delphin” is actually closer to the original Greek delphin, Latin delphinus; if you had your OED handy, you'd see that it was used right up until the seventeenth century* when “dolphin” took over under the influence of Louis XV.

Odd, first of all, that this article appears in YRO (because it involves a patent?); second, and odder still, is Susan Campbell's commentary:
Apple and its iPod didn't earn its throne in the portable music player industry because it had the easiest to use player that offered the best song selection. This success also didn't come because it offered the most competitive price. Apple has been able to dominate this market because of its marketing campaign, pure and simple.
O RLY? As far as I can tell, Susan seems to be a ressentissante Microsoft shill:
Apple did borrow a winning strategy from Microsoft in keeping its technology proprietary. [Emphasis mine]
Suffice to say, even the slickest market campaign can't account alone for iPod's success; just look at the PS3 or Zune: you can't pull the wool over everyone's eyes all the time.
That said, if Apple does introduce Wi-Fi (or an iPod cell-phone, for that matter), it will be on its own time; and not because it's scared of Zune.
There's a reason why imitations (exempli gratia: CGI) lack that je ne sais quoi: we are unable to reproduce the complexity of naturally occuring systems.
In fact, if the uncanny valley can be extended to inanimates, modesty bids us to remain in the realm of convincing fakes.
For that reason, if your suit-jacket and -pants aren't cut from the same material, it's much more pleasant to choose two obviously disparate (but complementary) fabrics.
So, as we begin our discussion, then begin with that simple reminder: it's all of us who own the airwaves.
A quaint sentiment, indeed, that the private citizen is still sovereign; I'm afraid, however, that the Bolshevization of North America is well underway, and that more violent notions will be required to reverse it.
The Bolshevization of North America consists above all in:
the centralization of media, agitation and propaganda;
ubiquitous surveillance;
the nanny state.
Eminent domain, if anything, should prove how highly our gubernatores esteem “ownership.*”

While I recognize that a prototype is subsequently shaped by social, commercial, cultural, and other various forces that popularize it [...].
You failed to mention the genetic component, which is the most determinant component: society, commerce and culture proceed therefrom; Bolsheviks be damned.
As long as you remain distracted by the epiphenomenon of culture, you are one of the “thousand hacking at the branches of evil to [the] one who is striking at the root.*”
What you mean is that porn is not a subset of free speech.
Interesting; the hyperbole was intentional, however: right-to-porn/free speech are mentioned so often in tandem around here, that one might conclude they're self-same.
Reasonably speaking, of course, their intersection is non-null.
The digits in the numerical notation for the date add up to 13—whether you write it in the US or the European form.
What a relief! I always suspected that the commutativity of addition applied on both sides of the Atlantic.
Or did they mean to imply that the dæmons who govern paraskevidekatria are too preoccupied to uphold mathematical principles today?

Thirteen people, pledged to eliminate triskaidecaphobia, fear of the number 13, today tried to reassure American sufferers by renting a 13ft plot of land in Brooklyn for 13 cents (10d) a month. (Daily Telegraph, 1967)
Vista driver developers must obtain a Publisher Identity Certificate (PIC) from Microsoft. [] This costs $500 [EUR 412] per year, and as the name implies, is only available to commercial entities.
Does this amount to indirect coercion? In XP, if I remember, unsigned drivers were allowed to run unhindered with loud information dialogs.

Light hand is the key composite; and I still haven't given up on pædagogy, I'm afraid.

Microsoft just gave away a subtle clue: “cool” is newspeak for: “embrace and extend.”
Is IPv6 that hard to do, btw? I'm sensing some lack of modularity in the kernel's networking code.

porn.ie is a poor example, since pornography has been a strict superset of free speech since the 1960's; how about: juden-raus.ie?juden-raus.ie, I suspect, would convert many here into willing censors.

Jokes about radio-cochlear overlords aside, two things come to mind:
- If we don't survive nuclear holocaust: what creatures, more robust than we, will? (Reminds me of the thriving Chernobylian fauna.)
- What ungodly mutations must an organism undergo to thrive therein?
If the future is bleak for humanity, it may be less so for simpler, more robust organisms.But you may not be doing serious work, then.
Let's say you have a five-hundred-fold bibliography: how are you going to port it between publishable papers if not in BibTeX?
I'll stick with LaTeX, thanks; but Goffice's real-time collaboration-feature may make concurrent editing easier than under SVN.
