RESEARCH into geo-engineering is a good idea. What we are doing right now is basicly geo-engineering, but with a blindfold. To think, that we have no clue what we are doing is pretty scary if you think about it. So yes, research it please.
Applying this knowledge to actively geo-engineer is a whole different story though... (as opposed to identify where we are already doing it without knowing and putting a stop to it).
Anti Virus are good at picking up malware that spread a lot. But these trojans are supposed to be used in very limited cases, so there is little chance of any AV aiming to find them specifically (up until now that is). Heuristcs are supposed to handle such cases, but you can test your malware against those heuristics until you are good to go and if they don't know of you, they can't change heuristics to catch you.
They use some more hands on methods to get it installed than your ordinary worm. Like breaking into your house, or snatching a device for a "security check" (at which point you are to give them all passwords of course).
You will have to apply for a job at that one company they hand all those shady contracts to. You know, the one the minister of interior is involved with. Good news though: from what the CCC told us, they are really in need of some capable hackers.
In that case, the information is in the timing of the edges. Anyway it is not "1 bit" of information. That's like saying serial communication is 1 bit.
The original Civilisation provided variable stimulus enough to never stop playing it. Just another turn syndrome. And it was pretty successful. It did not, however, use this marketing scheme.
I played the original Counter-Strike for years almost exclusivly and on a daily basis. And that game never really changed, there were no dangling fruits, no mastermind that carefuly crafted my gaming experience. Just the same game every time, about 20 minutes of rahter simpple action and the final scoreboard.
So I don't think that addicting game design and the free to play model are the same thing, or that one is the result of the other. They just show up in the same games often nowadays.

I am not sure I can agree with you. You talk about MW but you clearly think of something else than Mech Warrior. I can not support that.
The only really good thing about Arduino is the libraries. Of course you need to agree to certain hardware standards to build a library around them. Which pin goes where etc. But other than that, it's like using a breadboard with predefined names for connectors...
There was an article about that competition on here last year. It said that all of the better bots use the same approach as cleverbot: a huge database of text snippets and an algorithm to link likely matches. They are quite good with direct questions and replys, like in the example you posted from Suzette. But they all fail if you follow up on a topic, or ask question that only have meaning from context.
A sure way to make them all fail is by asking the same question repeatedly, but alter the pattern every time, like this: "Where do you come from?" "What do you call home?" "Where do you live?" etc. A contradictory answer will surely come up.
I do lowlevel stuff like that on a daily basis on microcontrollers. I do it in C. That is as low of a language as you need to go. I don't see any point in writing assembler ever. Yes, it's useful if you can read it for debugging and you will sometimes use a handful of assembler instructions embedded into your usual programming language, to use special functions of your controller. But writing programs in assembler... just no. Just because it can be done, does not mean it's a good idea to do it.
So you say they are buying patents others may be infringing on, not patents for things they want to do themselves. And you protect yourself against a suit not by proving you own a license for the stuff you're doing, but instead by counter-suing for something entirely different. I guess I was naive to assume it would work otherwise... -_-'
A milliwatt is more than enough (actually at least a 1000 times) to power the power down states of devices I have built myself. If you use it to trickle charge a capacitor, you can even sustain short power on states, if they are rare enough.
If Google buys patents off IBM, does this mean IBM loses those patents? Or do they now both share it? I don't see why IBM would otherwise sell patents that Google obviously has interest in. Wouldn't it make more sense to license the use of it? That would also give Google the same protection they need.
I've got a subscription for that magazine. The thing they do for most topics, is to either let the actual scientists doing the research, or often a university prof. with competency in it do the actual writing. As opposed to an employee of the magazine doing a write up of someone else's papers for example.
I can imagine, that this approach means, you will have to be very selective about the topics you can cover. There will not be a suitable expert for every topic on hand, and if there is one, it might still take some time to get the article from them.
This works for the magazine with a monthly release cycle and a limited number of pages to fill per issue. But on a website, it will be hard to maintain this standard and wait maybe months until finally reporting on something, that you could just have linked to, or covered briefly much earlier.
The crucial part about dropbox is not the file sharing. Any ftp can give you that. Most NAS come with one, or you can easily setup one on a linux box if you're willing to leave it switched on 24/7. No, the thing that dropbox has and why I'd use it, is automatic file synchronization over all local devices, even when files are accessed from mutiple users at the same time.
In true YouTube fashion, I just can't wait to read the witty comments of 10 years olds on why my choice of microprocessors is worse than theirs and that's why I fail at live.

No, a lack of privacy laws just means that stronger libel laws are more likely to hit you.
If he manages to get bought by either one, I would count that as a success.

Facebook should've just called them "contacts", because that's what they are.
Now how do we clear up this misunderstanding?
It is a chance to rant about annoying advertisements. We love to do that.

Lynx is not in the list.
There is only one explanation: Every single Lynx user was too dumb to even finish the test.

If the HTC CEO says so, it must be true.
