What are you talking about? It's version 1.0.0 (at least) on mac. The user interface is still shit. To play/pause I have to hit Cmd-P. At first, I thought my spacebar was broken.
Necessity is the mother of invention, though. As long as they give a reasonable terms (i.e. lower your CO2 emissions by 25% within 10 years), the technology will be given priority and the problem will be solved much more quickly.
Most of the old people I know weigh considerably less than 150lbs. Plus, don't they drain all your fluids after you die, but before you get cremated? or is that only for burials?
I'd argue the opposite. I don't think being human has anything to do with the outer shell. I, for one, use my body as a way to get my head to important places. A virtualized brain would still be self-aware and capable of having real, human emotions, in exactly the same way you or I do.
Them: "Fine, provide us with evidence that it wasn't you."
It'd be pretty easy to fake a router log, though. All you need to do is make up a MAC address, IP and a date. If they complain that it's easy to fake, then you can say that that's exactly your point and the case should be thrown out.
Someone already suggested that before, and I'm not understanding it. The result would be a delta, but it wouldn't help with figuring out which one of the original two was of a higher quality. Having a delta just tells you that the two pictures are different.
Moreover, the copying, even assuming it was an infringement, took place when the song files were first copied onto defendantâ(TM)s computer hard drive. The fact that they were still there later does not constitute a continuing infringement, regardless of when MediaSentry may have accessed the files.
The way I interpret this (although IANAL) is that if you're sharing a folder online, and they don't sue you within 3 years, you're pretty much home free? This could be really good news for people who share files. Especially since you could copy them to a computer not connected to the internet, wait 3 years, then release it to the wild.
The question is, of course, whether people would be happy sharing 3-year-old music.
On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
I've heard a lot of people have had success with putting a Mac Mini in vehicles. There's even a site dedicated to it: http://www.macvroom.com/
Downside is that while the software hacking would be relatively easy (there's already GPS software for OS X), the hardware would be the hard part. You'd have to find a place for it in the car, as well as a touchscreen, and possibly a keyboard.
I don't think you understand how percentages work. 10% of a huge number is still a pretty large number. If there are 10^x computers out there, and the platform you are writing for has a one percent market share, that's still 10^(x-2) you'd be infecting. Substitute an x value that's large enough, and you'll see what I mean.
The problem is that if you're going to spend more resources on that 1% to find a flaw that's going to be more quickly fixed, then it's not worth it. Therein lies the problem.
My understanding was that windows would ship with a "browser download tool" that would let you select a browser during the OS install. Kind of how they let you choose a search engine for IE now.
I wasn't aware that the Chinese were using pornography as their scapegoat. Kind of reminds me of how Germany is using child pornography as the reason to have strong Internet restrictions

I think we all learn for the sake of learning, but within things that interest us. What do you do when a class doesn't interest/motivate/seem relevant to you?

I agree. Trinity Rescue Kit is all you need if you're getting your mother's vacations pictures from a hard drive that isn't fully dead yet. That and a fridge
Why are you getting modded as "Funny?" That's the first thought I had. Shouldn't heart monitors and MRI machines have an embedded OS of some sort? MRIs are more complex, but (AFAIK) things like heart monitors do one thing and one thing only.
Isn't that exactly how LCDs work? When no charge is applied to a liquid crystal, it lets light through, but when there's an electrical charge, it becomes dark. All you'd really need is a pair of glasses with a battery, photodetector, and two monochromatic LCD cells the size of the actual lens. I don't think it'd be that much of a pain in the ass to have to recharge your glasses at night.
That's actually a good point. I don't have experiences with Virtual PC, but I've used VirtualBox and VMware Fusion in OS X, and it seems you really have to try to bring the whole computer down. Usually, if the client OS crashes, the host OS continues happily.
Does anyone have any experience with Virtual PC? How sturdy is it? If XP crashes, would Windows 7 take it well?

The one that looks less horrible is, of course, the one that was originally a higher-quality jpg. Genius!

I'm pretty sure any steps between "Make porn" and "Profit!" are self-evident.

This is really interesting. FTA:

It's also faulty reasoning. The fact that there are 6.5 billion people does not necessarily negate the fact that he is a genius.

I'll let everyone make their own assumptions.

I've got him beat in mediocracy and procrastination skills. I bet I can be an order of magnitude more unproductive than he can.
