Yes, let's charge more of the harder degrees (like engineering, and maybe even law, medical and finance), so we end up with a bunch of liberal arts major and other degrees which won't be socially useful.
Soon we'll charge fat people more to ride the bus because they use up more gas. Wonderful.
Yes, but it would require the user to know to actually defrag the hard drive.
Also, that's even better than you might think, makes obliterating the data even easier if you suspect it'll be found, or as a way to ensure it's destroyed. As long as you're not writing to the volatile part of the HD, you'll be fine for normal operation.
Streaming sites obviously do have the files on them
No, they do not. They embed the video from another site that does contain the file. Hence why every streamer hates the megavideo limits, because it applies no matter what streaming site you visit.
If you want to kill streaming, go after the base that supports them.
They removed an app that violated the terms of service.
Seriously, stop with the fear mongering. Although I trust google as far as I can throw their data centers, citing false reports and spreading misinformation is just stupid.
Also, as pointed out in the previous article, those 'exposing' apps can only take what information you expressly give them. Thus it is not news.
So I can't distribute kiddy pron any more via twitter?
On a more serious note, I don't see how this won't be abused by governments to track and shut down people who oppose them (like human rights activists that coordinate using twitter).
..does this mean I can browse the internet while I browse the internet?
On a more serious note, why embed one browser into another? Why not just install the other browser? Even with installation restrictions, there are 'portable' versions of alternative browsers.
Instead of trying to push the oil around or filter it out of the water, the primary use of this cloth could be to stop more oil form leaking form the pipe. Simply wrap the pipe and damaged area in the cloth, and the oil won't be going anywhere, allowing for other clean-up measures to filter out the oil.
The main reason these patents were allowed was to help refund the costs of the research into these genes. By forcing researchers, drug companies, ect. to license the use of the gene, it helped the initial team of researchers/parent company recover the money they sunk into finding the gene.
The implication of this ruling is a loss of profitability via research. Whether this is actually the case or not will be determined by time.
You seem to believe China allows 'free trade'. This simply isn't the case. As outlined in their 'five year plans' and implemented by their government, China expressly focuses on importing certain technologies and divisions. Critical areas include telecommunications and high technology (there are more but the report is too long to remember off-hand).
1)Because the weaving machine companies weren't purposely undermining the market. I'd like to point out the lending spree that happened within the last decade and cause the mess the US is in now. China 'publicized' it's medical works, making medical care costs shoot through the roof. This, in turn, caused the Chinese population to save their money to account for bills. This, in turn, generated a gigantic sum of money that Chinese banks could lend. And then the US, in a spectacular show of greed and stupidity, borrowed all of this money for a spending spree. Perhaps if there weren't doing things like this, the 'free trade' model would actually work.
2) Should I mention the Value Added Taxes which ARE illegal by IMF standards, and which the US has been trying to persecute the Chinese government for via the IMF? The main difference between China and the other industrial nations is that they refuse to allow their currency to float to global standards. If you're so well versed in the economic discussion, then you know that the renminbi is under-appreciated, and that allows for unnatural growth and development in China. In fact, this is how they became the largest creditor in the world.
3)They keep the renminbi pegged at approximately 6.5 to the dollar because it attracts development. Thus, you cannot apply the law of comparative advantage, because the prices are being fixed in favor of China. Should I also mention the joint ventures and foreign company blockades? The Chinese government subsidizes several 'critical sectors' of their economy, driving domestic prices below what any foreign company could sell, assuming the company was even allowed into China. More often, the foreign company is forced into a 'joint venture' with a native Chinese company, where they 'share' their development of the products. There's also typically a signed agreement where the foreign company cannot sell it's goods for x years. By then, the domestic companies are already well established and block out the foreign ones.
In short, you can't apply 'free trade' to a nation which doesn't trade freely.
You should educate yourself on Chinese policy. I'd recommend the USCC (Unites States China Commission) as a start. They're only being nice to us until they can build a bigger military, infrastructure, and 'catch up' with the rest of the technological world.
Yes, letting the renminbi float would drastically help world markets, which is exactly why they won't do it. Not until it's actually to their advantage to do so.
As pointed out in the article, not only does that fixed price help China's markets grow and build cash reserves; but high technology specifically is a critical aspect of China's plans. Thus, it's very unlikely that they're going to stop trying to bring over development of these high technologies until they finally hare a more integral process in their development.
They've been stubbornly holding the renminbi low for years, and there' no real reason to stop now, not until they have a larger say in the IMF.
This might actually be worthwhile one we have visual implants or some other way for processors to affect our eyes. But, until then it seems kinda pointless.
However, when it DOES affect our eyes, I imagine pop-up ads will only get worse....
But, as the game describes itself, it's focused around a party of four members. It doesn't seem too unreasonable to allow at least one of those characters to be a PC, even if it's just during battles. It's not like having a co-op option would ruin the 1-player aspect of the game.
That being said, they couldn't easily modify the main story of this game to be co-op. The interface and statistics are too focused on one player (the relationship ratings, decision points with NPC reactions, and tactics). It could probably have been done, but with some sacrifice to the customization of the current system.
Slashdot Mirror
Why would he be involved? Holtz is becoming a useless keyword to generate 'news'.
Stop pulling these stories off the hose just because there's nothing else interesting.
Yes, let's charge more of the harder degrees (like engineering, and maybe even law, medical and finance), so we end up with a bunch of liberal arts major and other degrees which won't be socially useful.

It's easier to condense them into one post than trying to weed out the best individual topic. Check the firehose, it's littered with submissions.
RTFA?
Likely does not mean certainty. Stop hyping speculation.
GLaDOS? That You?
What type of text files do you write that take up 20 MB?
Yes, but it would require the user to know to actually defrag the hard drive.

If you actually RTFAs' source, you'll see that this smobile systems company is using these statistics to try and sell a dependency checker.
Also, I saw no mention that these 'leaks' are derived from sources other than what the user allowed.
In short, Not news.
Nobody else gets to say, 'it's just too expensive to be responsible for my actions'.
Except for Oil companies, governments, mafia....
No, the initial post was mostly a troll to try and stir some conversation. Seems to have worked though.
So I can't distribute kiddy pron any more via twitter?
On a more serious note, I don't see how this won't be abused by governments to track and shut down people who oppose them (like human rights activists that coordinate using twitter).
Yes, because we want an international private business controlling who can see the patent office.
Remember the very recent break in at google by Chinese agents working against their human rights movement? Yes, let's set up a situation where we could hand over all of our patents to the very lax IP enforcement of china.

I find it unlikely that China plans to do that, and so does the US:

The worst part is it's depth, so the land looks safe to build on; while in reality it is far more dangerous.

mark this post (the one you're reading right now) off-topic, I need to reply to undo an accidental moderation I made.
WEP has always been less secure than WPA, especially because you can just brute-force a WEP password.
Stick with WPA2 and you'll be alright for a while.
