    Indeed, they can "license" the altered genes instead and demand payment for your continued use by living. I am rather disappointed in GS, surely they can be far more evil than even this was.

  7. Indeed, I believe really we are talking about 5.25 and 8 inch floppy disks. Maybe mag tape, too. A lot of this stuff was classic dec.

    When it already can actually costs $5.00 or more each way depending on where you are just to commute to work each day at a job that may pay $10/hour, it is already at an unsustainable cost to those who would need or use it most. Raising fairs any more will simply guarantee empty trains and busses.

    I suppose you mean Scientific Linux, as CentOS is owned by redhat.

    You mean something other than one of the tiniest private airplanes made, and one that also happens to have wooden wings?

    There is a difference. The plane they choose for their "demo" has wooden wings. I kid you not. The Mooney M20 is also particularly tiny...

  13. The Mooney M20 has wooden wings... on Watch What Happens When A Drone Slams Into An Airplane Wing (sacbee.com) · · Score: 2

    There is a reason they choose a Mooney M20. It's one of the smallest possible piloted airplanes out there. It also has wooden wings! There is debate if this thing should even be considered safe to fly even before the question of drone strikes. I am calling this click bait and fake news!

    I think there are bird strikes experienced with heavier birds, and no crashing planes. Now show me this video with a deep-sea 10 wing, and I will be interested...

  18. Re:Nice twist - common carrier status lost on Record Labels File 'Billion Dollar' Piracy Lawsuit Against ISP Cox (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this touches upon common carrier status. Clearly if they have a right to throttle and selectively manage who people can communicate with by becoming a "selective" conduit, a right they have demanded in rejecting net neutrality, they are asserting they have both that right and also the explicit legal responsibility/liabilities for all traffic that does pass thru their network. Clearly the sharks are circling...

  20. Indeed, as a "ubiquitous language for managing hybrid cloud assets", there is, for just one example, ansible, which already does all that, is also cross platform, and has no special dependencies or runtime overhead requirements either on the host or any on the target.

    Well, he did personally insult and piss off the prime minster at one point during this from what I recall, so its not like there is a a short line of people who would not mind seeing him go in NZ.

    In this respect, the actual US case and such a trial if it does eventually occur would be like Larry Flynt all over again, where one has to hold their nose and stand up for what is right, rather than let it be about who is being wronged.

    indeed, vc's seem only interested in those offering new ways to cheat people (business model innovations), not in new or better ways to actually do real things.
