the @userid and the trick with the . in front, combined with "hashtag" DEFINES twitter. Twitter wants to kill that off? Sure.
Here comes Flit-it with @userid, hashtags, and 255 character Fleets. Flit it. Fleet it like it's 2013.
The dissenters should just commission their own series, perhaps called Creation.
It opens with a bright blue eyed boy of about 4 years old, sitting on his knees on the carpet, toy rocket in hand, talking to what is presumably his great-grandfather who is seated in a comfortable chair, sipping from a cup of tea in his right hand, a copy of the Holy Bible on one of the armrests. "Grampy," the boy asks, "where did the world and all the stars come from?"
The man puts his other hand on the bible. "Boy," he says, "the answer to that and all other questions is right in here!" He puts the cup of tea on a side table and picks up the bible, thumbing through it, then closing it and holding it up in front of the boy. "It's all here because God wanted it to be here. He said: Let there be light! And there was light. And the next 5 days He spent building everything you see, including us. And on the 7th day He rested."
The boy ponders over this for a second, then frowns. "But Grampy... then where did God come from?" The man's face turns into an angry scowl, he lifts up the bible high into the air as if to strike down the young man with it... then screams "Blasphemy! How dare you ask such questions! Off you go, get out of my eyes!"
Gates seems to be forgetting that other Three Letter Acronym agencies were already standing in line to access the "metadata" and some were already actively using it, with the caution that the source could never be disclosed. And once the TLAs had their fill, the FLAs are next (Four Letter... as in MPAA or RIAA).
"By analysing data on the star’s varying brightness, using observations from other observatories, the astronomers confirmed the object to be an eclipsing binary system where the smaller component passes in front and behind the larger one as it orbits. In this case HR 5171 A is orbited by its companion star every 1300 days."
Wouldn't atmospheric drag from the Yellow Giant slow the companion star down rapidly or is it somehow "star surfing"?
It's unbelievable how much time and effort went into the protection (from "unlicensed copies") of Windows 8.x -- the OA/SLIC 3.x method for large OEM customers causes an *individual key* for each unit to be generated, verified/registered with Microsoft, and inserted into the systems firmware.
And now they're just giving it away?
I still prefer and use Windows 7, and will continue to do so.
Perhaps "a 100-person Mechanical Turk study with a $5 research budget" should be done here as well, then define "married" to be engaged in holy matrimony with an actual physical human being (of the opposite, same, or any of the genders defined by Facebook). Perhaps the questionnaire failed to mention "IRL" so they thought WoW counted, too.
The major obstacle is initial funding. Here's the link to the indiegogo campaign. Right now it's at something like $150k of $400k. Once they successfully land something on Mars, demonstrate they can manufacture water, oxygen and plenty of electricity on Mars, they will be taken a lot more serious. Until then, it's just the odd one out that's putting their money where there dreams are.
I wonder what Nintendo is going to do with these patents they weren't infringing on in the first place (and thus should be null and void from their standpoint)... going after Sony or Microsoft that might be infringing on them with certain elements of Move or Kinect?
What you need to ask yourself: what makes the "A" player an "A" player? How did that player get there? A very intelligent go-the-extra-mile person with excellent social skills is always welcome. Don't forget, this would affect anyone that has been an "A" player in one role, and (after a similar transitional period a new hire would get) is an "A" player in another role. Because if you are made redundant in the manner McCord champions, what would be the chances that you would ever return to the same company, other than for a substantial wage increase and -in a fool me once... manner- demand a substantial severance package.
Two guys, one with a large backpack, are in the middle of an always very busy Time Square, NYC, NY. They look around, excitedly talking to each other. They stop, the back pack goes off and a big, rugged, grapefruit-sized ball is taken out. They are seen fumbling with it, like they are using some kind of activation mechanism. Then one of them is what looks like preparing to throw said ball in the air. The police officer, who had been observing the whole thing, takes immediate action!
Up to this point it has been a term that refers to software controls that require a key/authorisation to work.
Eh, no. Cinavia is also DRM and is just an audio watermark; yes, it changes (== degrades, but to which point is a whole other discussion) the audio stream. Certain devices manufactured after a certain date are mandated to *check for this watermark* and upon discovery do something (e.g. mute the audio after x amount of minutes).
DRM != Usage Restrictions. DRM is often used to enforce usage restrictions, but it does not need to. FairPlay restricted usage, the current system iTMS uses does not. But it is still DRM since the sole purpose is to enforce copyrights.
In "classic" skin you have the good old nice and small interface, and it has excellent 24bit support... Fraunhofer Institute codecs... all sorts of goodies. I wonder what will happen to people who (recently) bought the Pro upgrade...
That's indeed how it works, like a Bruce Lee movie: you start with the lowest ranked minion, then work your way up. Except you're not working, a very expensive team of lawyers is. Ka-ching, Ka-ching and Ka-ching. You don't get to jump to the End Boss without racking up a huge, huge legal bill.
The good thing about this coming up every time is that it serves as a reminder to everyone else (other than tied into the vested business interests of the copyright industry) to educate youths about the history of "copyright", where it was originally aimed at, and whether they believe it would be wrong to go out and publicly perform "Happy Birthday To You" without paying a royalty to Warner Music Group, and whether they believe it would be wrong to self-manufacture a copy of an old recording that has been out of print for over a decade.
There should be plenty of problems a quantum computer could solve in polynomial time that would take classic computers eons to solve. Start solving those problems and it's a quantum computer. Simple as that.
- insider trading is trading stock based on information obtained from insiders not available to the general public
- these rules are in place to give the general public the idea that stock trading is a "fair game"
- Cuban talked to the CEO of the company privately and suddenly decides to quickly get rid of the stock in that company
- A few days after the fact the company publishes "bad news" and stock price takes a dive.
Question: is the problem that the SEC couldn't prove that information was passed on that influenced Cuban to sell the stock, or that they stacked so many charges (to make it sound reallllly bad) that they overplayed their hand?
It's amazing at how many (including taxpayer) dollars are spent "educating" the kids about the "evils" of online copyright infringement. These dollars would be better spent educating about online bullying and setting up a website where kids, at their option anonymously, can get help from a real human being (of course properly vetted).
Money talks, bribes sweeten deals... and at the last moment a copyright extension act will be rushed through. It happened before with "Cliff's Act". I should get a couple dozen eggs and let them rot away just in case "Sir" Cliff (the Public Domain's #1 Enemy) dares to show his face around these parts.

Do you have an url, other than a site targeted under "Operation Cleanfeed" which has been around since 2006?
First take in this story.

It's just too bad I can't use Zoins in the Play Store, and can't use Googs to buy stuff on Amazon.
I don't understand where your "negative mass" is coming from.
Another one that never watched ST:TAS... from Memory Alpha's description of Beyond the Farthest Star:
En route to investigate, the Enterprise suddenly experiences severe hypergravitational effects from Questar M-17's negative star mass.

It'd be interesting to see how the copyright is going to be talked into existence on these 100-year-old photographs made by an unknown photographer.
Chang'E 3 has several cameras (as does the YuTu rover)
The rover's cameras cannot be used following an emergency injunction order from YouTube for trademark infringement. :-)

OK, didn't RTFA, but let's assume the following:
- insider trading is trading stock based on information obtained from insiders not available to the general public
- these rules are in place to give the general public the idea that stock trading is a "fair game"
- Cuban talked to the CEO of the company privately and suddenly decides to quickly get rid of the stock in that company
- A few days after the fact the company publishes "bad news" and stock price takes a dive.
Question: is the problem that the SEC couldn't prove that information was passed on that influenced Cuban to sell the stock, or that they stacked so many charges (to make it sound reallllly bad) that they overplayed their hand?
The movie Prometheus has a very interesting-looking use of drones mapping the insides of the spaceship.
