A lot of government bureaucracy requires you to get hard copies of things....for example often times a signature must be an actual hard copy or facsimile but cannot be an emailed file, in which case having a fax is essential.
Governments are always slow to change, and thus are many years behind the current tech. Once thy catch up, faxes will go away.
Clones that are born with the same DNA would not be the same person at the very least because they are born into a different context (i.e. hitler born today would unlikely be able to lead germany into genocide and world war). Also their life experiences will be completely different no matter what you do (GW Bush did not grow up with the internet, his clone would have to.....unless he lives in a jungle which would also alter the adult version of GW #2).
The issue is really whether one should be able to pre-select the DNA of their children.
I'm happy this happened. When this story was earlier on/. I was asking where are the police in all of this.....threats of sexual assault and "I'm watching you" accompanied by photos of one's house are quite disturbing.
I think this is a pretty cool feature, allowing you to purchase a book or item based on seeing it on something you are reading (seems like most of them are the ISBN's in the sources).
I am however against the commercialization aspect of Wikipedia (especially since, like others have said, I doubt Wikipedia makes any money off of this due to its open nature).
Why not just create an add-on that does this across all web pages, similar to how skype lets you call any phone number on a web page, or g-mail identifies emails that are about shipments and posts a link to the tracking (though these are not themselves add-ons). If you could even further specify what types of things you are interested in getting info on (i.e. only books) it would be much less intrusive and subversive and less likely to turn away people.
Though maybe enough people wont care and this will be really profitable for amazon, even though they are shoving it down people's throats
Ya, the worst is if something crashes/f**ks up midway through a hulu video. you have to rewatch ads and then usually watch more ads to skip to where you were.
How is this person not in jail. Threats of sexual assault, threats of regular assault (in email), harassment (in email or voicemail, easily passed to the police), fraud (pretending to be her when calling Citi).
The fact that the police id not follow through is appalling
And pease explain why torrent-finder.com is more at fault than other search engines such as google, bing, yahoo, etc, and why the websites listed were not equally "taken over"
And what stops them from lying. As there was not any apparent due process, it means that they could say whatever wihtout a strong burden of proof.....when I search for torrents (only legal of course) I use google or bing, why are they any more exempt than torrent-finder.com which doesnt host any torrents, but simply searches sites that do.
Just because one can use torrents to break the law doesnt mean that torrent sites are for breaking the law. The material posted could be open-source, or owned by the poster.
I would defend the postal service if it got shut down because someone mailed illegal materials to someone else.
Sorry for the shitty formatting, here is a more legible format
Unfortunately the US government (at least in the US) has pulled ahead in terms of controlling the internet via seizure:

No, I just don't consider this person to be a scientist, which is why I characterize his experimental method as such
depends on the order you stack the pieces
He did claim to find another element (122) in gold previously. So probably just assumed every element could be found in a piece of gold

I would just put them on wikileaks
Torrent-finder is no more at fault than Bing, Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine. What a load of illegal, unconstitutional crap
And what stops them from lying.

Have you never seen a movie, or been passed out drunk while your friend makes a mold of your thumb?
RTFA, the lawyers are telling him not to take it. so he is not depositing anything unless he wins the suit (which sadly, he probably will)
