So what you're complaint boils down to, is you get SO much traffic from Google, that you want the government to shut Google down so you get next to no traffic at all?
Twice now it has been posted "Not only should you read The Last Question, but you should ALSO read The Last Answer"
And twice now you have attempted to claim they intended to say "You should not only read The Last Question, but also read a totally different story called The Last Question"
Why do you refuse to believe there are two stories by the same author with different names?
You had little choice and there was no room for outside innovators. We techies all said this was a bad thing. You probably see the parallel.
My question for you is fairly simple, and I'm sorry if you've answered this before and I missed it.
Are any of your iPhones or iPads jailbroken?
The fact that jail breaking my phone puts a full and complete unix userland at my fingertips, with the Debian apt package manager and nearly a hundred different software repos available with all sorts of software (from open source to commercial) is the primary thing that keeps me an Apple customer still today, as far as my phone and tablet hardware goes.
I grew up with your Apple// and the fact that (at the time) I could remember nearly every nook and cranny of that system in my head is one of the major things that made me who I am today. These days even a single PC component such as a CPU or GPU can't be fully understood by a single person, it requires teams.
In fact I still have my Apple//e at home, setup, and fully working. It even has a mix of todays technology in it (a CFFA3000 card - Floppy emulator that uses USB/CF flash) to help keep it kicking almsot 30 years later!
It is technology like this that fans my love of it all, and I wanted to say Thank You for some time for being such a huge part of it all.
Please do not encourage the troll by calling his lies "facts";}
He claims Notch did not create Minecraft, yet Notch has live updated Minecraft while coding on it with a crowd of thousands around him at a convention held in his games name...
He continues with a claim that someone else wrote most of the code, when in fact Notch wrote most of the code and only recently handed it off for updates to another person, very very recently.
While technically speaking, lies are indeed facts, at least call it "false facts" as they are supposed to be called:P
Google are still breaking laws by transmitting copyright material
No they haven't. Google has fulfilled all the requirements of the safe harbor section of the DMCA. They are not liable.
At this point, szyzyg has utilized the DMCA fully and has obtained the contact information of the responsible party who uploaded the video. That is pretty much the extend of what the DMCA provides for, except the final part about having to take down the video once charges are brought
Szyzyg has not yet done that, so Google is currently not hosting or transmitting material who's copyright is being enforced. Once it is and he does, they will remove it, and continue to not be infringing.
Both points above combined, the DMCA is completely fulfilled. That tidbit of law is over with in this case. As they say the ball is in szyzyg's court. Just because he has some obstacle in front of him with bringing charges, doesn't suddenly mean Google is in violation of any laws.
As for the spot szyzyg is currently at, yea that sort of sucks. He isn't likely to get money out of them for this groups infringement. I still think he could attain his original goal of having the video permanently removed however.
For szyzyg, bring the charges in your own country. If you have an equivalent of " small claims court", use that. Any injunction that court provides is legal standing. Present it to Google and they will remove the video, flagged as such to prevent reuploading (of the same content at least)
Any monetary fines the judge sets forth are unlikely to be collected. That's just how international things go when you aren't a multinational corporation or something:/ But Google will at least enforce it on their end as much as possible.
I was 4 when my parents took me to all of Bladerunner, Wrath of Kahn, Tron. I remember seeing Wargames too but think that was the next year. '82 was one of the best years for scifi movies, and I made it just in time!
For an AND gate, the output is only on if both inputs are on. The output is off in all other conditions (including both inputs being off) A NAND gate is the reverse of that, it's output is only OFF when both inputs are on, and the output is on in all other cases.
The most importaint detail about the NAND gate, is that you can built all the other gates from nothing but NAND gates. NAND and NOR gates are the only two logic gates that share this ability.
If they had only constructed an AND gate, they would still need to construct a NOT gate before being able to build any other gate, and so is not as important of a milestone.
Some other posts have brought up a few good points not in the summary, which if actually needed might require additional hardware, such as to ensure the audio is cut off while using the radio to talk to your controller or whatnot. But some relays controlled by the same micro controller above should be able to handle that.
Einstein used to explain quantum teleportation similarly as you just did.
In his example, you take a pair of gloves without looking and seal each into a box. You then send one box to someone else. Once you look in your box and see, for example, a left hand glove, you now know without looking that the other box has a right hand glove.
Niels Bohr claimed the particles are in all states until observed, then the observed particle is in a fixed state, say with an UP spin, and instantly the other particle is also now in a fixed state of DOWN spin.
Albert Einstein claimed the states were fixed before hand, and each box has always contained the particular glove that was in it.
It was Bell's theorem that proved Einstein was incorrect, and Bohr was right.
The wiki article explains it much better than I ever could hope to. Despite the fact I can not explain the theorem, I have no reason to disbelieve the many experiments that use it and show it to be correct.
There is plenty. Control groups improve better than untreated. Why? Placebo effect. Homeopathy is professional placebos. They do work. Proven to work. Maybe not any better than a placebo,
Except this man is claiming they work as things such as vaccines for polio
Simple. The former causes things like computers and MRI scanners to exist. The latter causes things like humans whom build computers and MRI scanners to not exist.
Seeing as you used a computer to make that post, you seem to be availing yourself of the money spent on the first a lot more so.
The original judge in fact did just that: held the statutory damage in this case to be "cruel and unusual" and thus reduced them.
So when there is a US Judge on public record ruling such fines are cruel and unusual, how is it even possible for another judge to come along and uphold what legally is defined as cruel and unusual punishment?
Following the logic of this new judge, it just takes one guy to rule slavery is now overturned and because he said so it is.
It's pretty scary to think a single Judge is actually allowed to rule murder rape and torture as constitutional and have it legally binding between that point in time and an appeal!
and lately I've been thinking of using a 3d printer to make new model 500 rotary phones. With bluetooth to talk to your smart phone.
Not exactly as you were thinking, but close: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/287 I bet the bluetooth only version would have a Much better price tag attached though!
Still, not a bad idea, especially so if you got the manufacturing of the phone body itself down cheap. The bluetooth bits n bobs shouldn't add much on their own.
Exactly what I was thinking! I picked up one of these nice "100 piece security bit" sets from a local store for $10. Even at Amazon it's only $13 plus shipping.
The patents you question that they won't use offensively, I do not at all see in the list of patents they are suing over. There is no mention of the radio or cellular protocol patents in that teeny one page link in the summary. Only location awareness, e-mail push, video players, and the like.
Though I'm not quite convinced Apple will not in the future fire the first lawsuits in that area too. Google/MM are allowed to use those patents defensively. I suspect it is just a matter of time before that little package gets opened in court.
Bonus question -> since I know a few of you are interested in getting into the financial district -> what is the natural consequence of using floating point data types for fiscal transactions?
Answer: The plot to a cheesy super-villain world domination movie about stealing the rounded off pennies on the transactions of his employer, where something always goes wrong and hilarious shenanigans ensue.

Indeed. You'll note I had no argument nor correction for that part ;}

No, that should be:

Or one could simply boot a Windows 8 pre-release DVD and select install.
With no upgrade features it wipes the drive to reformat it.
I can see them attempting to push blame and scorn upon Linux because it has the same features any other OS installer has, and thus is unique!

Nice find, I'll have to add that link to my collection!
I've been using the dock breakout board to get access to the serial port as well as audio/video outputs and the ability to charge the device.
The serial accessory protocol is well documented, for use with either of these products.
You don't even need a developer account or software on the iPod to do this.
Buy a dock connector breakout board: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8295?
Wire up a micro controller to the serial port. Use it to send Apple Accessory commands: http://www.adriangame.co.uk/ipod-acc-pro.html
No license or developer account needed.

If the site is so concerned about money and income, why don't they just use regular ads instead of tracking ads then?
They can choose. Use tracking ads, have them blocked, and get nothing. Or use regular ads, and get something.
It's hardly our fault that they choose to abuse their customers and then bitch about getting no money because of it.

Not often do you hear "thanksgiving", "napkins", and "cock rings" in the same sentence.
