Please name all historical liabilities incurred in the entire history of nuclear power generation, with specific dates, and provide a comparison to the net power generated and cost savings over time. Thanks.
Leave emergency communications to local law enforcement, kthanksbye, and stop trying to justify your love for anachronistic technologies.
You're an idiot. I happen to know several ham operators who traveled to New Orleans during the disaster with the specific aim of assisting in communications. They worked with what they had, including setting up alternate power sources (read: generators powered by their own fuel, hauled on trailers behind their own trucks). They're never the primary means of communications, but they're damned valuable people when nothing else works. Let's just set aside the fact that their efforts were unpaid and under-appreciated. Next time you want to criticize the volunteer work of others, make sure you're not going to make a total ass of yourself.
Additionally, improved communications technology increases the pace of meme distribution, and as a great deal of value of a copyrighted work is in the novel social interactions it enables this shortens its time of highest value.
How, precisely does that jive with your parent post with respect to the value of content not being a determining factor in monopoly length?
Classic. The parent post gets modded offtopic because some mods don't agree with my position. Meanwhile, the GP post gets modded up because it fits with their version of fantasy. God, I love Slashdot sometimes.
It's based on the credit card billing address. Which isn't really saying much, considering the fact that I know a bunch of people overseas who maintain a U.S.-based credit account for such purchases.
This is an absolutely ridiculous proposition. Improved distribution methods mean jack-all when it comes to determining the length of copyright. This is honestly like saying "Transportation is more efficient these days, so cake mixes ought to be less fattening." That makes about as much sense as your assertion.
Your note regarding the determination of value on copyrighted works is preposterous. How, precisely, do you plan on assigning a valid value to works that wind up being regarded as classical works in their respective fields? Short term interactions? How about long term respect?
You use a whole lot of buzzwords, but don't appear to have thought this matter through thoroughly. 14 years sounds reasonable to me.
Put me on the first ship that isn't coming back. I think the prospect of living out your life as part of a colony on its way to who-knows-where in the cosmos is a pretty neat idea.
Once sufficiently powerful, interlinked networks are online, most any problem you can think of will be solved... probably in a radically more efficient manner than current accomplishments.
This is great advice. I donate what I can every year. If even a tenth of the Slashdot visitor population did the same, I'd feel a lot better about things.
It's an admirable effort. Unfortunately the industry can always go find the next teen sensation... with a few hundred thousand bucks worth of marketing, they seem to be able to sell anyone's crap these days.
I woke up this morning and ate a piece of toast. Five people simultaneously died in Japan. Eating toast kills Japanese people.
In all seriousness, technology marches on. The number of folks earning a living building horse drawn carriages dropped off sharply with the advent of mass-produced automobiles.
Our Malda, who art at Slashdot,
CmdrTaco be thy name,
Thy typo come,
Thy story be run,
Although it is not accurate.
Give us this login our hourly summary,
And forgive us our troll posts,
As we forgive those who troll our own sites.

Either way, people may want to consider getting on the nexr plane out of China...
Hope they've got all their paperwork in order; from what I understand, simply leaving can prove problematic for those folks.
Nexr-Gen Nuclear Power Plant
Is "Nexr" either an acronym or abbreviation for something I should be aware of, or is this a "typo in title" case?

I assure you, Asians author and sell plenty of that content without help from the West.

Hopping on board a colony ship is precisely what I had in mind.

You're obviously working in the wrong office.
Once sufficiently powerful, interlinked networks are online, most any problem you can think of will be solved... probably in a radically more efficient manner than current accomplishments.
I assure you, programmers write awfully bad code in all sorts of languages. Your personal fave isn't immune either.
I was imagining your post as read by James Lipton.
But I can't vouch for it, as I don't use it myself.
I've heard some people use drugs, but you couldn't vouch for that either, could you? ;)
I don't know if paying an extra tax on recordable media counts as a "system that works."

This is why we absolutely must legalize peanut butter. Help end the suffering; write your representative today.
whereas the Jack Thompsons of the world see games as the cause of crime
I thought he saw games as an opportunity for a paycheck in reward for his lobbying efforts to save the children. I'm confused now.
I don't think any smokers would enjoy living in a room full of smokes though.
You have obviously not lived in a communal setting while in college, or associated with those were enrolled at university.
