your right to submit takedowns is suspended for a month?
These things are supposed to be carefully considered requests, not 'if we hit 7 out of 10, we're happy'...
Alternatively, some of the takedowns may be executed.
Each link to material they do not own 100'000 USD to the target of the takedown notice and the same to the actual copyright holder. Alternatively, 30 days in jail for the executive in charge.
I don't have reason to like the dtecnet much, by my taste their executives can go to jail for longer. (quote from the linked FA):
It is worth noting that the DMCA notice in question was sent by DtectNet. This is the anti-piracy division of MarkMonitor, the same company that is also responsible for tracking down BitTorrent pirates as part of the upcoming six-strikes anti-piracy scheme.
I read that and understood it. However, "working together despite differences" is not necessarily about pleasing each other in the strawman way Linus suggests.
I don't see a suggestion. My take on his words:
Buddy, I'll continue to curse when my blood boils. It's nothing personal, that's how I am built, at 44 yo it's unlikely I'll change. I accept that it may not be pleasant for you. Can we find a common ground to work together?
If you like, it's a statement of the facts, followed by a question.
actually there is... White rural Americans does not reproduce the way they used to.
You mean... they gave up intercourse and adopted pollination as the reproductive strategy? You know? Given the distances to travel for the mating and the increased weight to carry, I find it a wonderful evolutive adaptation for the niche they occupy... a proof that life will find a way despite the smart phones or guns.
And why not? After all, if the politicians are dumb enough to believe "the laws offer protection"^^, why is the population to be the one to suffer? Push the issue to ISPes and let them sort out with the govt!
^^ a little bit more and the brainf****s that rule us may get the idea of repealing the law of gravitational attraction.;) How would you like one morning to find yourself helplessly floating into the interstellar void? Or, more likely, face a conviction if you "refuse" to?:)
Let me guess: all good and dandy until some parents will sue the ISP for "having their kids accidentally exposed by a hole the filter" (as in "letting the kid find a way to bypass the filter and try get some money from the ISP"). Then the idea of "default-on filter" will be busted for good (or, alternatively, the Internet as seen by UK will look like a puny list of white listed sites, all the others censored).
For as much as I respect Linus for the work he's done, his outbursts are getting old and are not funny anymore
In my opinion, the above is some high way to miss the point (one doesn't expect Linus' outburst to be funny, does one now?)
Now, some quotes to see exactly what is the point, in Linus' own words:
So as far as I'm concerned, the discussion is about "how to work
together DESPITE people being different". Not about trying to make
everybody please each other. Because I can pretty much guarantee that
I'll continue cursing. To me, the discussion would be about how to
work together despite these kinds of cultural differences, not about
"how do we make everybody nice and sing songs sound the campfire"
Do you think you might be interested in *that* kind of discussion
instead of the "you are abusing me" kind of discussion?
3. This is just something that occurred to me, but a large fraction of the weight on a spacecraft is a radiator, because the only way to get rid of heat in space is radiative heat transfer, which is much less efficient than convection. (and if you are generating power and thrusting, you are making heat) If you utilized the water as the working fluid in the radiator, you might be able to simplify another subsystem. I don't know if they actually did this.
So in summary:
It is unlikely that water produces a more efficient propulsion system, but it may well produce a simpler, cheaper, and easier to transport one.
Disclaimer: No actual math was done for the writing of this post. If you have math to prove me wrong, please do so.
Re: radiative heat transfer. I don't think that the power used by a cubesat can provide heating challenges, especially if the said cubesat is to run on solar panels (heaps of surface relative to the delivered power). So much so that keeping the water from freezing may be the actual problem (given the quite high specific heat of water/ice, it would be a pity if needed to waste energy in melting the fuel first).
Which of the Indian teams are represented? I see one at 60th...
Irrelevant. What's relevant: if there's little need in the US (or any other country) economy for software people, it is likely there will be no winners from US in the ACM competition (or winning will happen only as an exception rather than the norm).
In a sociological context, one needs quantity to develop quality consistently over time (that is: it is highly likely the talents need nurturing by an existing culture in their field for them to reach their full potential; and this requires quantity). Note that quantity alone is not sufficient for the quality to emerge - if in need for another example, you only need to look at the today's music
Quality or mushroom? (if you don't have enough quantity, it's highly likely you will not have quality. A small quantity is likely to mean: nobody is interested. Thus... it's a snaaake!)
I do not play with the clowd clowns I own my own hardware and software. I do not walk in the valley of DRM. I do not beg to receive the fruits of my labors from datachangers. I shall not want.
Yes, but they do want... really, anything. So you can still give something to them: not the fruits of you labors, no... but as they operate a freemium service, you can still drop there any garbage your software is able to produce... they won't know the difference anyway.
DropBox was specifically mentioned in the PRISM document, so go out and specifically use it, putting only grey photos of cats on it.
An excellent idea (wish I have mod points). Whether or not you have data NSA may find subversive, do store the droppings of your gray cats into Drop Box
Let them (3-letter-agency or only DropBox/whoever else) crunch their budget in attempting to find a non existing needle in a whole pile of worthless garbage. If one can't fight them back to regain one's rights, the least one can do is to drown them in noise.
It's not like the illusion of privacy I had in pretending the NSA couldn't get to my HDD data had much basis in reality anyways.
At the very least, they'll need to support the cost of getting the HDD: if not for the warrant, get to my home to take it.
While for a single such seizure operation may not be much (in the context of their budget), at least they'll need to think twice if they want to do it for millions. Or even for thousands if those thousands are not living on US soil.

What will the government do to stop these leaks?!
Why, that's elementary... apply some pressure... on other govts to refuse the landing.
There is water in space!
Only in the head of Italian astronauts. At least, that's how I read:
Parmitano returned safely to the space station interior, but the cause of the leak was not immediately known
I mean: what else is there to leak in the helmet?
I've been surfing porn for more than a decade now, and I have yet to actually ever buy anything.
My guess? For enough many it's more about the "intensity" (can't call it quality) rather than the easiness to find "appetizers".

Must've accidentally confused it with videos of themselves screwing us?
Sorry, them screwing us is a fetish well beyond porn.

Why don't they just ask to take down the internet?
Un-possible. Adult entertainment industry will recreate it back.

A good tld: .–.

Unfortunately the two dominant parties are all on-board with this shit.
Vote Wikileaks Australian Party or the Greens. I'd rather have a hang-up Parliament again than be spied on for the benefit of US spooks.
Please... would DEFCON organizers be so kind to ask the spooks to stay out not only of the conference but out of the entire citizens life? Thanks.

Guess which of the 3-letter-agencies will spend some budget for the tech?
Agreed, it really is a shame that they dropped Fortran and Pascal.
What??!??
Quality or mushroom?
(if you don't have enough quantity, it's highly likely you will not have quality. A small quantity is likely to mean: nobody is interested. Thus... it's a snaaake!)

Tell me, when exactly did it become part of the sub-postmasters remit to hire a QA team?
Look, into a situation of "hire a QA team" or "go bankrupt paying unwarranted charges because of bugs", which one would you prefer?
