'Nobody has succeeded in building a social network that can offer those kinds of privacy protections yet. And nobody ever will.' - Networked computer will do everything but protect privacy. It can't be done any more than you can protect a radio broadcast. Even the best encryption depends on trust.
That's like calling a soldier a murderer. If everybody started questioning the intentions and honesty of their superiors, we'd still be living in the stone age and wiping our asses with a stick:-/
The Challenger disaster was caused by a bad decision to launch despite a known weakness in the design. A fix was already in the works, but not before the state of the union address that Reagan wanted to make glorifying the space program and the first 'regular' civilian in space. His propaganda machine demanded a launch at that moment. Any further delays were deemed unacceptable.
Really, all Sony has to do is to make the entire console turn into dust after one play. Considering the quality of consumer hardware these days, it shouldn't be too difficult for them. Much of it barely works when new.
Maybe so, but that present system requires the reinvention of the wheel to avoid litigation, and from there will come 'real' innovation, This is most definitely an impediment towards progress. FOSS developers really have no choice at this point
The media 'companies' (more like cartels) have their claws in the entire backbone. Presently there is no escape. Not until we develop secure ad hoc networks will we be safe from them, and the government of course. Even the darknet over corporate wire is not immune.
While I will grant that the people can control the government, what we are really seeing is a massive psychotic reaction on their part. Behavior modification is a well documented science, and it scales very well, in fact, the more the merrier
This is not a government "reaction" There's nothing new or particularly odd about the idea of dividing the opposition to its policies and getting people to turn on each other. Business needs a compliant workforce. The government is doing its part to supply that through intimidation and propaganda. Hollywood dramatizes it, yes, but it's far from being entirely fictional.. And you're right about one thing.. "Mission Accomplished"
That way more ideas are turned into implementations...
No, the present system actually discourages that. More ideas are simply locked up for as long as possible. It's no different than land speculators prevent all development on the property because the property was bought simply to flip over for a higher price. If knowledge cannot be shared and used, you have less creation and invention, because the vast majority of it depends on previous works.. When it's locked up the way it is now, you get stagnation and society loses a great deal with poverty and starvation, which is only beneficial to business that depends on low wages
I never said it was about confidentiality. It's about speculation.. A person can claim knowledge as property and then sit on it to prevent others from using it at all. This is primarily what's wrong with the system. And I'm saying that if you want exclusive control, you must either use it or license it out at a reasonable price, or lose it.

Absolutely! Gotta keep that money flowing to study the clearly obvious..
What is needed is an autopilot for cars.. Driving is the distraction

Geodesic domes - with a possible side effect... Can't hurt to give it a try

Well, at least somebody caught the original submission

Yeah, but 'space brothels' will mark the real turnaround. Just like every other technology, porn will lead the way

The supply might be limited, but wake me when we starts to consumen even a hundredth of a percent of it..
Hardly a delicacy, or even that much of a conversion.
Yep, just filter out the kidney stones with a strainer, and you're good to go
That was a big seller...

No way!

During the Clinton years the Secretary of Commerce forced some companies to sell software to Libya...
No linky? That sounds like an interesting story.. I mean, it's true that boycotting Israel is illegal, but this one I never heard
What knockers!
Oh, thank you, doctor...
But this is huge. Beyond huge.
If you're talking about the costs to the patient, sure. I doubt it will be covered by medicaid...
I really don't like the thought of the government getting involved.
Um, where do you think copyright law comes from?

>> they filter and censor search results as they (or other big companies) see fit...
Please elaborate on this...

Most LiveCDs can be copied to RAM, making it much faster than even a hard drive.

It's the scientists fault. They ate my cookie... I would have gone to the article.. if I hadn't heard this story so many times
