You seem to be missing my point which is that the claims of the summary and the linked article are hugely hyperbolic. While this set of legs might be well-engineered this is neither groundbreaking nor does it walk with "no power". And how it has any relevance to "uncanny valley" is also a mystery.
WAAAAAAH! Someone broke our confidentiality agreement on information we were only able to obtain through someone else breaking a confidentiality agreement! Poor us!
invade the reasonably expected privacy of Skype users and BT users?
For Skype users you might have a point but bittorrent works by publicly broadcasting your IP to the swarm. That's like standing outside shouting your name and social security number and claiming you had an expectation of privacy.
People are actually unaware that they are broadcasting their ip address when on the internet? Really? Especially those using bittorrent that works through broadcasting yourself to the swarm.
They aren't. This is why it's perfectly legal to refuse cash when you sell something. But you must accept cash for loan payments and any other repayments of debt.
And they aren't banning using cash for debt payments. Upfront purchases are not debt payments. Hence why I can sell something and refuse to take cash. Now if I loan out money I can not refuse a cash payment.
Then she should sure the studio who denies her a job rather than going after imdb. Oh right, you actually bought into the phoney notion that this isn't just a frivolous money grab.
Even still this thing doesn't even remotely match the features of an iPod touch. It can't even play mp3s. Let alone the fact that the.iPod touch has a much higher res screen, can play 720p video, can do opengl es 2.0, etc. To claim this is even remotely an iPod touch alternative is laughable.

Excerpt this isn't anything like that at all. Outside of possibly using more modern materials nothing they do is revolutionary or groundbreaking.

It was made by scientists who noted what they did for the betterment of mankind.
As did the scientists in the 1980s that did the exact same thing. Somewhat interesting to watch? Sure. Groundbreaking? Hardly.
Seriously what? Passive walkers have been around for nearly 3 decades.
The idea is that, because it walks passively, you only need to pump in a little extra energy to make it keep walking.
Sure as long as you never run out if downward slope but how realistic is that? Come back to me when this can passively walk up an incline.
Great. I've also built a self-propelled bike that requires no energy to run either. Did I mention it only works when riding on a downward incline?

So your complaining that they are doing nothing different than every bittorrent client does?
How is crawling a bittorrent swarm violating the dmca? You do realize that your IP address is publicly broadcasted, right?
Since when is your ip address assumed to private when you are publicly broadcasting it all the time?
An ip address you.publicly broadcast is personal information?
No they haven't. They've.only figured out the ip address. They aren't tapping the call.

You are still broadcasting your ip even when using encryption. How else do you think you create connections to others in the swarm?

What's illegal about it? What federal or state statute have they violated?
Because you misunderstand what is debt and what isn't?
They aren't. This is why it's perfectly legal to refuse cash when you sell something. But you must accept cash for loan payments and any other repayments of debt.
And they aren't banning using cash for debt payments. Upfront purchases are not debt payments. Hence why I can sell something and refuse to take cash. Now if I loan out money I can not refuse a cash payment.
Great but what they are banning aren't debt payments. An upfront payment for a good or service is not servicing a debt.

Except when you put it out in a public webpage?
Because it's been public knowledge since 2007? YW HTH.
No they didn't since the z80 doesn't.do the decoding. The dsp does.
