The only problem is, you're going to see some weird shadowing around the cloaked object and be able to tell that it's there. I can't believe that I'm actually replying to this post.
I went to this website looking for specifications on the EV cars that they make and they are nearly the same specifications that I saw about 5 years ago. The top speed is still only around 55 mph. And the range is only 56 miles?!?! Come on. If it's going to take 4-6 hours to charge the battery only to 80% then I'd want to get more than 56 miles. I don't care who they are marketing it for. It's almost no better than buying a supped up golf cart.
You jerks. I figured you'd score me down. I was being serious. There was so much obscurity in the posted article that I couldn't understand the idea that you were trying to get across.
Yes, of course you can. But if you read what I said, I was talking mainly about the people who will add the rules to their firewall and then forget about them. This would be especially bad if an ISP did this. There are plenty of brain dead people out there who don't keep track of why they do things.
While this sounds nice and all. Blindly blocking network blocks can be a bad idea. I'm sure if the information on what IP blocks the RIAA uses to scan networks got out. Several people would just add those blocks to their firewalls and forget about it. Then later when the RIAA retaliates by changing their provider or getting new IP blocks and giving back their old ones, everyone would end up blocking someone having nothing to do with the RIAA. We have to fight them on the legal front, not the technological one.
There is only one useful part of this article:
"If the product is better, it does not matter how different it is. That's why many of us threw out hundreds of dollars of records and diamond needles the day CD's came out."
Other than that, this guy is just a blabermouth. How can you trust this guy when he has a link at the bottom of the first column of the article that takes you up to the top of the same page so that you can read the second column.
I just made a decent donation to their cause and feel good about doing it. I've used so much open source software that I feel the need to give back or give the gift of something becoming open source. Try to help them out. Even if you don't use blender, give them money as if you were giving money to the entire open source community.
Don't patents have a lifetime of 17 years? I may be wrong on that number. But if is 17 years then that means that it expires in 2003. Maybe they figure that they can milk the royalties for the last year they have the patent.
The closest asteroid ever recorded to approach the Earth, passed within 0 meters of the Earth when it actually struck the ground. What's up with this closested recorded stuff?
Even though I'm still young, the one thing that I hope I live to see is the discovery of other life in the universe. If nothing else but to give a big Nelson "Ha ha." to all the people who believed otherwise. Billions and billions.
I feel weird whenever I type on a regular keyboard. About 6 years ago when I was a computer science major, I found that I started having pains in my wrists after working at the computer for a long time. I decided to buy an ergonomic keyboard and found that the pains went away almost immediately, and it only took a few weeks to get used to the different key layout. Now I can even type faster than I did before. I just wish that they would standardize the layout of ergonomic keyboards because most of them are different from each other and put the 6, b and y keys on differing sides.
That's kinda along the same lines as the question "Why pay high prices for all your long distance calls?". It's stupid and serves no real purpose, but people are going to end up doing it anyways
How did alien abduction slip in there. I'm not saying that I believe in alien abduction, but it's not something that is impossible or improbable. If the science world is going to back up Carl Sagan's claims the universe brimming over with life, then they have to be willing to accept that one day we will interact with that life. Possibly right now.

Now that's what I'd like to see. Well, wait, maybe not.
I wrote a thought of the day about cell phone usage a few months ago. You can check it out here.

When their stranglehold on an industry is on the line, some companies are able to overcome the laws of physics.
They call it... The baseball bat.

I find this rather ironic since Microsoft's big break in the beginning was to be able to create MS-DOS for IBM.

Thanks for posting this link. I find this confluence project very interesting.
Don't you mean the odometer? You know, the device that tells you how many miles your car has traveled.
Please oh please let the next article read:
"Average number of offspring has decreased to 2.4"
How much for unmetered service on such a system?
Bend over and they'll show you.
This would be an interesting Slashdot poll. "How much do you consider your most sensitive data to be worth?"
