2. Hire real experts, real writers, professional editors. Toss the agenda-driven wankers and college kids.
Sanger tried that. It didn't work. Doesn't mean he hasn't given up yet. (NB: RationalWiki is NOT affiliated with Wikipedia; it was started as a response to Conservapedia (a large group of nutjobs with a wiki, also unaffiliated with Wikipedia)).
They are simply posting details about past things that the mainstream press conveniently "forgot" to tell us.
Interestingly enough, The NY Times has decided it doesn't like WikiLeaks. I would post a link, but they want a login (it's currently in the opinion section, where it belongs, but it may be archived eventually).
"Dude, you know what would be really awesome?" "What?" "If there was a display system that would allow multiple viewers to see a high-quality 3D image projected on a screen without the need for special glasses, regardless of where they are sitting." "Dude... that would be totally awesome." "We should totally invent that someday" "Lets patent it just in case someone really does it!" "Yeah!"
If you read the patent you'll notice that it has lots of math and such... Apple didn't just pull this out of Steve's ass.
The whole point of patenting things (aside from trolling, which is actually contrary to the point, but anyway) is to get to market first because the PTO gives you a temporary monopoly (you're expected to exploit said monopoly, as a subsidy for the effort of invention).
Ergo, Apple filing a patent and then not getting to market promptly is kind of silly.
It apparently is smart enough to know where the individuals are sitting and makes accommodations for that. Rather than requiring an individual to sit in a particular place like all the other systems like this do.
What about Wii head tracking (Google is your friend)?
This assumes that the cabin crew counts the knives when collecting the refuse. Otherwise, the terrorist can just palm it and wait for everyone else to be disarmed.
Simple, don't collect the knives until the plane is on the ground!
From TFA I think (and this is Google Translate so I don't trust it) the prof. was talking about, you know, cash, not money in general (i.e. everything would happen using credit cards and such).
And yes, I'm quite aware of Douglas Adams and your joke. It's just that it's not relevant. The professor is not suggesting a transition to a Star Trek (non)economy, he's just saying not to bother with physical currency.

It is the word of two against the word of one. What makes his word worth more than theirs?
Innocent until proven guilty.
The AC is a straw man. Real "info wants to be free" people only want the info of companies, organizations, governments, etc. to be free. Julian Assange himself watches his own privacy very carefully.
The companies that make these things are interested in interoperability, price, and security theater. Note that real security isn't on that list.
You don't understand. Citizendium's own policies actively promote pseudoscience in many areas.
If you're working with folders then symlinks are probably okay; if you're working with files a hard link may be the best of both worlds.

Wait.. we can block kdawson??

Yes!
Signed, Arthur XXII, King of Britain and Jupiter.
Well, I didn't vote for you!
Exactly, that's how democracy works. Oh, wait a minute, he's a king! Arthur! Get off that throne!
Sony has lots of lawyers and you don't. If you asked to suspend sales of the PS3 until "the legality is decided", Sony would sue you for damages.
I believe they do, but I don't have a link to back that up.
IIRC the DMCA only applies to user-produced content. Drudge posts everything himself, so he's not subject to the safe-harbor at all.
IANAL, TINLA, I might be wrong.
Second, there are penalties for bringing a lawsuit with not basis. See rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Frivolous litigation is unrelated to what everyone else it talking about (listing frivolous damages in an otherwise non-frivolous lawsuit).
If you don't like it, then don't read Politics stories.

POTUS is hardly a "low level bureaucrat".
Actually, I'm curious: why did you use bing?
Microsoft isn't an advertising company. They don't make 98% of their profit from selling access to your time and information like Google does.
No, they make 98% of their profit wasting your time (and information? I guess that's what BSODs are for!), unlike Google

SCOTUS justices serve "during good behavior," not for life, so if the bribes are egregious enough, well...
./ != /.
Not suing is setting a precedent that you can sell, literally, Apple branded merchandise without Apple's involvement.
But the same company is, literally, already doing that!
Father? FATHER??
He is our freaking GOD!
How dare you mock us!
...no relation to Lord Xenu then?
