Where is it illegal to put a camera on your property that can see someone else's property? Legit question.
Everywhere in the EU? To be left alone is a human right. In the UK under Human Rights Act 1988 for instance:
Under the Human Rights Act 1988 the use of CCTV in certain circumstances can be seen as an infringement on privacy. An individual who installs a CCTV camera that points on their neighbour’s property can be infringing on the neighbour’s right to privacy. CCTV cameras installed in the home should be used for home security only.
http://www.civilrightsmovement.co.uk/faq-uk-citizens-cctv-privacy-rights.html In some countries, government and companies are not allowed to point cameras into public space. Your own yard is private, and no-ones else's business. You just can not set up a camera (or surveillance drone for that matter) and point it at your neighbour. Here are the individual countries in detail as a paper
Stegosaurus died out 150 million years ago, the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event was 66 million years ago. Choose a dinosaur from the Cretaceous period, such as T-rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops or Pterosaur for your example, not one from the Late Jurassic.
Given time, the Sun will become a red giant and destroy Earth. Given time, Dark Energy will rip the universe apart. The question is will the keys break before or after that.
No, this is more similar to GalaxyZoo approach, showing a page at a time and letting the proof-reader compare OCR and image side-by-side. See first link.
The more interesting question is, will this serve as a test data set to improve OCRs?
Some "fake" journals have peer review, but it is really a group of professors teaming up, who already hold the same opinion, or support each others non-mainstream position in the respective fields. This can be problematic because it does not provide independent, skeptical review.
That said, main-stream journals are also not fair. Payment increased by a huge fraction (4x IIRC), countries are paying triple (publishing, reviewing and accessing), which effectively blocks out a large fraction of the population. see here for a introductory video. This leads to a big demand in cheaper publications also for legitimate research.
Why isn't there a suite of command-line tools to handle video clips yet, such as cutting, merging, transitions, variable speeds, inserting still images for a certain length, etc.? Each would be relatively simple, testable tasks, and (optionally) GUIs could be built around those tools. And no, ffmpeg is not the answer; it breaks audio tracks when cutting/merging/speeding up.
So the article links "The code just arrived" to a folder with.bin firmware files and this license:

Did AMD actually release any source as the title suggests? Where is it? Or did they just make using/redistributing their firmware legal?
It's interesting how many people are interested in the desktop.
I just care about MY desktop instead. I prefer to edit some configs (which clearly is rocket science) and experiencing some inconsistent look and feel among applications, than using MS or Apple solutions and submit to whatever their management think is a good idea to stick on MY desktop to make their system more difficult to migrate from.
Using open source desktops you are also at the mercy of upstream. Forking a desktop and maintaining updates is just too time-consuming for an individual. If upstream abandons your favorite desktop (e.g. old versions of GNOME1 and KDE3), you are pretty much screwed, because your system will become outdated and incompatible with everyone else who is moving on.
Ah, my mistake. "use asm" is a proposed Javascript feature:
... asm.js, a strict subset of JavaScript that can be used as a low-level, efficient target language for compilers. The asm.js language provides an abstraction similar to the C/C++ virtual machine: a large binary heap with efficient loads and stores, integer and floating-point arithmetic, first-order function definitions, and function pointers.
You could write your programs in Asm.js, but the idea is that you will use other languages that compile to Asm.js. This opens up the possibility of converting existing desktop apps to run in the browser. Emscripten, for example, is a compiler that converts the LLVM bitcode intermediate language to either JavaScript or the asm.js subset.
Isn't Wayland aimed for the mobile market as a light-weight replacement for X? So on Desktops, where you want to support many graphics devices and features like X-Forwarding, you will want to stick with X (unless you already follow a cross-device distro using e.g. Unity).
"This is stupid, and they are all idiots" is simple to understand, you just flag all what you have heard as untrustworthy, and put the people who say that stuff in a mental box. Our brain likes simple structures, and avoids complex ideas, so this wins by default. Some issues, even when you understand the fundamental problems, are out of the control of the individual, and thus frustrating.
Structured discussions like liquidfeedback or moderation by users may help, but it really depends on whether you can build a community and which culture that community would like. It's not merely a technical issue (another example where our engineering-brains like to look for a simple solution, avoiding complicated social studies).
Googles business is advertisement. All other products are just vehicles to get Google to place advertisement. All the development of cool products are because they have billions of dollars at hand, probably one of the largest budgets of any software company. Their strategy is to fund many small startup-like ideas generously, and later, equally generously, throw away the ones that don't work for them. Googles income, unlike Microsoft or Apples, does not depend on the software working for you, it only depends on placing advertisement for you to see. In the process of acquiring startups and developing, they accumulate patents, so even when Google drops an idea, you have to approach them for continuing that idea. Quite smart. Probably not the most efficient way for a company to producing software, but a way of not getting stuck with project management issues.
When have our views on contraception, abortion and homosexuality modernized? In the last 30, 20 and 10 years. Same-sex marriage is still a huge debate. The pope is 76. The pope with a modern view is 20 today, and will become pope in 40-60 years. This is not a democracy where you can replace people every 4 years, this is a rigid hierarchical structure of with no balances and 1 billion people. And it is supposed to not change much.
Without doubt, North Korea will take some remuneration from the Pirate Bay, which makes the Pirate Bay give money and credibility to a country with a population living in fear and hunger, and strengthening a regime that operates concentration camps.
This shows that they either have not thought this through, or they have no stance on human rights (i.e. they show they just want to download illegal stuff, not increase freedom of individuals). I hope this is a joke or will be retracted.
Dmitri Rogosin said that neither US nor Russia have capabilities to shoot something like this down. Source He is proposing a global collaboration though for detection and defense, and also emphasized in his last interview that cold-war-like constellations must be avoided. Source
you pay for the service. So it doesn't matter if someone 'steals' your code, as long as you can provide a better service. And by better I mostly mean reliable.

My neighbors can currently buy a camera and watch me from their property.
They can? Does the US have no privacy laws at all?

They have long wanted to wipe Israel off the face of the map and this is how they will do it.
Please stop circulating this myth and criticize Iran by its actual statements.

not if you have your hands on it

An orbiter might be able to use very large solar arrays, but an RTG is more likely. For a cryobot, a nuclear reactor will be needed.
Wouldn't it be possible to generate power from the planet flying through the magnetic field of Jupiter?
Terrorism is the act of inducing fear into a society, to the point that individuals don't feel safe anymore.
You can, online, destroy the trust of people into banks, stalling any transactions because of fear/uncertainty. Without the loss of life.
