ie, you're shown 10 pictures of dogs and cats, and you have to "select the ones with cats in them."
Just because it's a "race" against bots instead of a solution doesn't mean CAPTCHA's and their like shouldn't continue for the time being. It's trivially easy to create new "human" checks.
Aye, I know what you mean. I've been especially liking their sudden support of Ubuntu in that past year or so. I've almost moved my entire dev environment over to it, and I'd like to continue to be able to appreciate the support.
After months locked up with nothing but a bunch of Russian men and one woman, that woman would start looking pretty good, regardless of what your personal preferences in women were.
Personally, I think Samuel Delany was right when he suggested in that short story (Aye, and Gomorrah, for various reasons) that semi-permanent space personnel should be neuters. These kinds of situations are bound to come up, and you can't just exclude women from being able to set foot on our first colonized planet, because that would be sexist.
You don't remember the scene where Alia is going at it naked with the machine, and Paul comes in and tells her she's nuts to be using it at so high a setting, and she tells him he's just jealous because he had never had it turned up so high?
I don't think you've seen the same movie most people think of when they think of Dune
You should try a program called "TruPhone" -- it's a UK company, has a program just like Skype, that allows you to make true VOIP calls with your Ipod Touch.
No -- and I own a G1. It does NOT have a skype client -- it has a fake little program that dials a phone number and then further uses some magic to connect up to the skype network. It isn't true VOIP at all.
One of the most sensible British judges, Pickles J, once commented in dismissing a case that there are many things that people do which are annoying, stupid etc., but so long as they do no harm to other people the law should never get involved.
That sounds like Libertarianism. You may remember Libertarianism as one of the most simply structured (in its principles) yet hard to understand (for most people) concepts there is.

Ray-Tracing in Java... sorry, my mind just assploded.
The whole Internet is so fragile on the backend.
Could one day we just learn to deal with the 1000ms latency times of a completely satellite-based network?
(Yes, I know it's not flawless, but it would prevent a lot of things like this happening.)
I was talking more about routine satellite launches. They happen all the time.
Image recognition.

Obviously the answer is giant sea walls and desalination plants?
What I'd like to know is can you please optimize the images on your homepage? :P
Seriously, I'm on a 80mbps fat pipe and your site takes forever to load!
As long as you mention the countless dozens that get launched successfully all the time, sure.
Aye, I know what you mean. I've been especially liking their sudden support of Ubuntu in that past year or so. I've almost moved my entire dev environment over to it, and I'd like to continue to be able to appreciate the support.
So, technically Microsoft has never patented the source code for Windows?
Could be. It's sad that that's usually the way that programmers and management interacts:
Johnson: "As you can see here, sir, the HTML is completely obfusticated."
Boss: "Great job, Johnson! That'll show those pirates, right!"
Johnson: *Sigh* "That's right, sir."
Don't temp them. You'll be lucky if it's only CAPTCHA's every commercial break. Seriously.
Someone please mod this as high as it can go, and then petition /. to allow it to be modded even higher.
That's what I never understood about the DMCA -- isn't reverse engineering already protected under existing patent laws?
Yes. To me, this is just like those JavaScript "password" scripts people used to make, and about as ignorant to the way client-side code works.
I almost want to say some web designer sold this "security" to Hulu as a joke.
But this made me think back to the Times' "headlines" that Winston had to create in short Newspeak blurbs in 1984.

Don't you mean about 3min? (I know, not much better. )
We are going to be making the trip when the two planets are closest.
Astrophysicists, please forgive me if I'm getting this terribly wrong.

No offense, but I detect a marked absence of tough-guy look in that picture.
Yeah -- it's only legal until you're sued by someone with a lot more money than you.

Does if you root it.
(Which is easy and takes about 15 minutes and no I'm not going to provide a link. Google is your friend. :P)

Doesn't seem too unusual in a post 9/11 world -- what's your point?
