Actually, you just need to stick all 3 groups in the same room at that point.
Evolution will take over at that point and tell you which is best for the society, right???
totally missed the point. The part that they cannot install the different firmware is the proprietary part that is based on the open source MIT work, isn't it? That's the part they should create themselves from the MIT open source part if they don't want to be locked into someone else's proprietary model.
In fact, that blog is on my list and it seems like they are always coming up with extras to add into their search. Little extra things you can click on when the search results in a stock symbol or dated item.
Also, have you taken a look at Google labs experimental search?
Ummm, because like others have said, the war is not over. Blu-ray discs still have to compete with digital distribution. Even Gates mentioned at CES. They've partnered with quite a few places (One is Disney!) so they will likely pursue downloads through their Live marketplace, including HD content before trying to license something from a competing console.
That is exactly what I'm thinking. Meraki's stuff is all based on the MIT open source stuff. So why can't this group just go back to the original source and build the part that someone else made proprietary.
I agree with you. Back when I was in college I had a lot more time on my hands then money so i was in that first level you mention. No amount of protection would have stopped me. Now, I have regular job, and my time is just worth too much to me to look for the cracks, download them, test them, figure out how to fix the one problem the crack introduced, and then play. (Considerably more effort if you are talking about hacking a console to play these cracked games...)
Now it is worth it for me to just spend the $20-50 and just play. Unfortunately that means I spent money on Mass Effect...
Worst... Game Purchase... Ever... (for me at least).
Yes, but the best way would be to force Comcast to allow other utilities access to customers through their network like they did with the phone companies for long distance AND DSL.
But that was shot down years ago, though I'm not sure why.
Are you sure Bullying isn't prosecutable? I could be wrong, but I was pretty sure that are laws against harassment and such. Some of them aren't extended to electronic communications.
I agree, though that creating a totally new law that is likely to be unenforceable or tramples free speech isn't good either.
You should read the Megan Meier events. Her mom (according to her account) did monitor what was going on at first. The problem was that a couple of other adults kept up a ruse for a while ( can't remember exactly how long). The events on the day of the harassment pretty much occurred in a very short period of time when monitoring wasn't going on (she wasn't supposed to be on).
I agree with some of the other posters, though, education about dealing with issues and maybe even some education about empathy towards others would be the best solution.
As despicable a thing that those adults (who instigated the harassment) did, I don't know that tramping over free speech rights is the answer. Aren't there normal harassment rules that can be extended in some way to capture some of these?
To go even further - which Oxer admits having done just to prove a point - he can have the system trigger an event which sends an email into an object inside Second Life, which then creates a virtual representation of an email notification that there is physical mail to be collected - you've got mail to say that you've got mail.
I dunno, I think I'd rather be sure I had some extra killing energy if a missile (or plane) was headed right for me. Better to be on the safe side on that one.
I don't get it. The summary and most of the comments are pretty much describing an alternative to getting your programming through something other then the cable or satellite (FIOS if you are lucky) such as getting it through Joost, torrent and streaming to the set top box. But the writers strike hurts the networks that are creating those shows most people are getting on the web.
It seems to me that with the writers strike, people would find independently made shows that are probably free (or free with some non-intrusive ad support). I know a few people that like to watch machinima videos made from places like WOW and SL (used to love RvB). That's what I would think people would turn to with the writers strike. Those shows cost so much to make anymore that your going to have to pay to watch shows that will still have ads in them, and I'm sure that'll turn a lot more people off.
Not sure why someone rated this as flamebait. It sure seems like a counter-argument to me. Some cameras are placed in areas for valid security concerns.
I think a flamebait post would be more like:
The cameras are there to protect your retarded ass
Where the use of the word "retard" is used provoke an emotional response. If someone pointing out a possibly valid reason for security cameras provokes that same response, then maybe you need to relax and take a hit on something for someone.
This is true, but you are not allowed to connect a three prong outlet when there isn't a way to ground that outlet. So if there were outlets that had 3 prongs but no grounding wire then I'm pretty sure it violates NEC.
I don't know about the rest as far as rented dwellings.
That's one thing if the person lies about something that is believable. It's another thing when something is obviously "too good to be true." Some of the Second Life scams revolved around people putting money in something that 'guaranteed' 20-30% interest.
People falling for that aren't stupid, they're just greedy enough to think they can make a fast buck, but naive enough to not have heard about it being a scam.
Well, I'm sure that adopting Macs will ensure that people will continue to leave them alone in their attempts to compromise systems with something valuable enough to make it worth the attempt.
I was wondering when someone else was going to wonder why TFA never mentioned the Uncanny Valley (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley) but sure seemed to mention a lot of similarities.
Really, I thought the article read more like an old movie plot.
Increased security in recent years means TraceSecurity personnel are trying to get past "guys with machine guns.

I keep waiting for people to stop using the wheel and come up with a more efficient solution. It can't last forever, ya know...
Either that or you created your throwaway account someplace that has excellent filtering...
where'd you create it at?
Did you test the account?

This article http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-has-google-done-in-search-lately.html disagrees with you. It may be from last year, but I've seen other search related features show up on that blog.
In fact, that blog is on my list and it seems like they are always coming up with extras to add into their search. Little extra things you can click on when the search results in a stock symbol or dated item.

I'm not saying some competition would be good, but it isn't as stagnant as I think you would make it out to be. This link http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/03/faster-google-search-on-your-mobile.html shows another more recent search improvement they've done recently

Are you kidding, it's only 12:07. I think we're doomed.
I guess it's best to start work on a time conservation program.
We just keep using up all our resources these days.
Is there a fill up station somewhere, can we exploit time from another place?
Better start trying!

Yes, and the telescreens will be able to tell us when we've been playing improperly and notify the right officials to come and re-train us!
