1. Play your copywritten music in public.
2. When people in public use phones, music is being illegally copied and redistributed.
3. Sue people with phones.
4. There is no ??? its just profit.
And it is probably the next bullshit scheme they will try, too.
A lot of people who've been working with electronic computers all their life intuitively assume that electrical computers are the only way to go, but there are other (albeit mostly currently impracticable) ways to automate binary math.
-You can make a computer that uses water pressure instead of voltage- all the logic gates used in electronics can be built with copper pipe.
-You could theoretically build a fully optical computer, with fibers, mirrors, beam splitters, etc (this I've been mulling over in my head)
-Hell, I've heard of people using turtles for computing. Not quite sure how THAT would work, but party on, Wayne.
Anyway we only use electrical computers because they're super easy to work with. That may change in the future.
I think it is important to better define magic- is magic something which inherently is imposible to explain, or something we just cant explain?
I hate to be an armchair philosophy troll, but if your anything but a nihilist you believe in magic.
The problem here was not one that is unavoidable.
The problem here was terrible design. Whatever engineer[s] designed this system did a crappy job.
In the same way that not all nuclear reactors are chernobyl, not all planes are the Airbus a330. The solutions to such problems are caution, care, and thorough planning, and staying clear of an entire field is not the solution. Poor engineering leads to all sorts of problems. Shall we then engineer nothing? No, we shall, we must just be careful.
If it tastes like meat, I'm all for it. But it doesn't say what it tastes like.
But how could it possibly taste good? It may well be chemically identical to real meat, but I will bet dollars to soy based corn oil fried pastry replacements that it will taste like concentrated butthole.
What is so wrong with normal, delicious, non factory meat? IM FROM MURIKA, SON, THATS WITH AN M. THE M STANDS FOR MEAT. WHERE IS IT?!
Honestly I don't think this will come as a shock to ANYONE who has a wifi enabled device. There are unsecured access points everywhere in any given metropolitan space. I can get wifi reception in most places of three forks montana, a town with a population of less than 2000!
I has a 12 digit password with random characters, letters, and numbers interspersed throughout it, and I'm a victim of this, so it isn't a matter of the passwords being simple, its probably a cross-site exploit of some sort.

-The only time I stop playing my game is when not doing so would be to the permanent detriment to my gaming environment. This means times when Its absolutley necessary for me to go pay rent, to go get food, to go to sleep. Things that, if not taken care of, would stop me from playing.
-When i'm sleeping, i'm dreaming about my game. Often I post suggestions I dreamed up in the game's forums the next morning.
-I'm obsessed. When I physically cant play the game, I research the game, and do the math to figure out what would work better how.
All in all this means I play my game about 18 hours a day. Thats right, 18 goddamn hours. I sleep for the other 6.
I'm really, really starting to think that theres something wrong with me. But this is what I am- hardcore- theres no denying that.
By the way, I play anarchy online, the heroin of mmos.
If nanofood is thoughtfully tested and isn't harmful in any way, then i'm all for it, rock on!
However, if it turns out to just be another way to make cheap crap that you probably shouldn't eat, then i'm against it. The proof is in the testing (pudding).
My guess is that ittl be the first scenario- though it will probably be opposed regardless due to lack of knowledge.
Some people have become so opposed to any sort of food science that they wont even do research before coming out and saying they're opposed to something new.
Really, there isnt any excuse for not being informed these days. It takes 30 seconds to look virtually any black and white fact up on google- so if you don't have your facts,
either they haven't been determined yet, or you just don't really care.... or, you're a homeless smelly hippy who hasn't heard of the internet.
I'd put it more like "Would you like to see colors?". Who says one method of seeing is something to be cured. Color blind men are just descendants of more predatory strains, that didn't need to see colors, because they hunted, they didn't gather fruit, they let the women do that.
I don't understand why people who would care about what browser they use would still be using XP. XP was released almost 9 years ago for god's sake. You cant expect everyone to cater to your outdated operating system! XP is so old it is in danger of becoming retro.
If you disagree, rollerblade on over here and disco me to death.
When I hear news like this, it just makes me want to pirate a game more. Why should I, as a paying customer, have to deal with bullshit when pirates don't? Shouldn't paying money for the game give me less hassle than people who don't?
Game companies that dont hold their games hostage get my business- because I'm not going to deal with the DRM bullshit. I'd rather wait till the game is cracked and play it then.
A while back, my account was hacked. I've no idea how they got access to it, but it was shortly after i downloaded some indie game that was kinda like tron. Anyway, i contacted valve support, had them reset my password. But when i got back into my account, it was vac banned, meaning i couldnt play anything online. I asked valve to undo this, and they metaphorically flipped me off.
I'm for building nuclear plants. People think that all nuclear plants are chernobyl, and that before they inevitably explode they will leak radiation to the surrounding countryside. This isnt true. People have a fear of radiation because it is a powerful force they cannot see. Realistically, the coal power plants these will replace would do you a LOT more harm with all the so2 emissions. As for storing the depleted uranium/plutonium- what is the big deal? So we have to put a couple of truck sized boxes somewhere. No big deal. It isnt as if we're lacking for square footage on planet earth.

Just because its the internet doesn't mean you need to troll- get a job.

No thank you, we will just release another incarnation of batman. Thank you for your time. And your money. And your attention. And your life.

You can't understand how hard it is, growing up as a manbot pretending to be a manputer in a fembot's femputer's world!

Hi, I'm Chris Hansen. What are you doing here? Why don't you take a seat, right over there.
Heres why i'm hardcore:

Science isnt about "explaining" things, it is about trying to understand things. Theres a difference.
I'd put it more like "Would you like to see colors?". Who says one method of seeing is something to be cured. Color blind men are just descendants of more predatory strains, that didn't need to see colors, because they hunted, they didn't gather fruit, they let the women do that.
Thank you captain obvious, that is why I prefaced my statement with "people who would care about what browser they use".
I don't understand why people who would care about what browser they use would still be using XP. XP was released almost 9 years ago for god's sake.

Stop playing wow! Wow got old years ago! Why the hell do so many people still play it? Play a better MMO- like anarchy online, or eve!
Can I borrow your time machine?
Seriously- what does nintendo have besides zelda? Mario- thats it!
