Ok. You win with the more money buys more arguement.
However, (while not explicitly mentioned in my orginal post) I was thinking of servers and software type anonymity. Not fleeing the country and living large in a Swiss Chalet or Grand Cayman Bungalow with my family and 10 friends under assumed identities certified by the state government.
Not even close. We are not comparing hybrid motors. Try looking at the body design again and come back. Of course you are an AC, so I'm not even sure why I am replying.
It is absolutely astonishing that some/.ers are decrying this act as internet censorship.
If someone lives by the "Do what thou wilt." credo. It requires an understanding of cause and effect. That relation seems lost on some of these supposed anarchists and "internet freedom at all costs" soldiers.
With that in mind, if I catch you with pictures of my kids (or ANY kids) that are even mildly suggestive prepare for the effect that you caused.
Contamination of the water has been a concern and apparently according to TFA it has been addressed. "Scientific research drilling in the area started in 1989 and the lake's existence was confirmed in 1996. But efforts to reach its surface were suspended two years later amid fears that the process could contaminate the waters.
After developing new techniques in an attempt to ease environmental concerns, attempts to drill down through the deep ice sheet to the lake's surface resumed."
"Seems to me a clever FBI/Scotland Yard, could take advantage of that to find their listeners."
Or, they just did exactly that. Here is a phone line with a specific code for YOU to login and listen. Don't worry we will keep it interesting enough for you to stay on the line while we trace the call/IP.
"Mosquitoes can navigate and orient in dynamic environments without requiring external cameras and computers "
That is really the big one IMHO.
The video and acheivement is very cool. The video showcases challenging pre-programmed flight planning, software development, computer control system design, and device building.
I wonder how close are they to having the autonomous versions of the quadcopters pull this off?
Judgement, yes. But not in a negative way really. It's also not an insult. Moore knows what he looks like and he want to look like this for a reason. I was just pointing out the obvious difference between him and us masses. This man lives in his head and spends much less time on our "plane of existence" than I. (Many genius people do.) Or compare him to Gandalf to the rest of the inhabitants of Middle-Earth, if you can do without a nerdgasm.
My question of "have you seen him lately" was light-hearted and tongue in cheek as was most of my post.
Having collected the original 12 issues of Watchmen in my youth I certainly loved it. It expanded my own ability to digest a story with moral and societal issues in the forefront and still be entertained.
No one can write better than Moore when he is on his game.
I have mad respect for Alan Moore's genius and for the story he created with Dave Gibbons in the Watchmen, but have you seen him lately? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore Looks like Rasputin's cousin.
That said,
Please forgive us o' Lord of the Comic Book medium. Some of us want to enjoy the characters you have brought into our imaginations further than you would like us too. We *know* you could have done better than these other talented writers and aritsts. We will treat these pre-quels and the movie and all other non-Moore Watchmen writings as apocrypha, outside of the true Watchmen canon. 'nuff said
Should read EVERYONE without the nimble fingers of a child, the steady hand of a special forces sniper, and the sharpest soldering iron this side of the sun.
They were detained for half the day and then sent home. Hardly, a witch hunt and burnt stake.
It is more comical than anything else. "We are going to destory America" vs. "We are going to paint the town red". Opps. Mistake in the code that flags tweets for human intervention. The human agent(s) do not want to "miss" a potential "real threat" and investigate the couple. Shame on the DHS brass for not being savvy enough to resolve that the pair was not a genuine threat and then letting them into the country.
Monitoring of communication that has been going on for YEARS in ALL developed countries. This just informs the public of the fact.
Back in 1953 this very communication would have me on the radar of Senator McCarthy because I typed "paint the town red".

Yours is not the only POV however. I prefer target shooting to hunting. Less skinning and filleting, but also less delicious.

Anything from glorified mouse-clicker and result recorder on up to programming test cases and developing an automation framework.
The line blurs depending on WHO you work for and WHAT you work on.
My best suggestion is to ask the person offering the job what they have in mind for someone of your skillset.
Everyone does not watch news or get the alert at the same time. This is why EPSN SportsCenter is played back to back in the morning.
$1.6 Billion payment to Proview = Chinese Government Kickback.
Of course my babelfish may be horked.
I haven't heard that Toyota has brought suit against Honda yet.
Makes you wonder why we have these types of suits in the technology arena.

and $50,000 buys a lot of anonymity.

I agree with your assesment with one addition if i may.
" a glimpse into a RADICALLY different version of the present."

Now to ahead and tackle Habeus Corpus.
I'm pretty sure that the price of the integrated HUD display trumps your vision prescription. Shouldn't be a problem to shape the lens to fit.
Plus, it might not be possible to wear prescription glasses with the HUD contacts. It might effect the focal length.
do not read as being *that* complex, but their interpretation is constantly being argued in courts across the country.

Further, I challenge you to gander at this google image search of "alan moore" and not find the humor. If King Theoden doesn't make you laugh.. the Lego Man should.

No doubt. Mad hermits always have useful dialog. They are just so hard to find.

However if comment count is any indicator this story is a hit with /.ers.
This story scores in at 181 comments vs 95 for the second most popular story this morning.
Maybe this story is just everyone's morning cup of bitch. I don't know. I'm just saying it's an interesting note about /.ers. (Including myself here.)

I am truly impressed by the amount of replies to the troll.
Wait that should say distressed....

Talk about marginal court decisions. If you put a protective case on it, no one could tell the difference. Lawyers for the win!
