What I really dislike about this is how it is a group of companies acting as a pack to instill their own laws/moral judgement on the world at large. Why do they get to decide which companies I deal with or not?
Just have the school's IT admin install AdBlock, problem solved.
Honestly I think this is the better solution. Replacing one search engine with another one without ads (is that going to be the new patentable suffix of 2013?) just gets rid of the ads on the search engine. Adding an ad blocker will improve the situation everywhere the student searches, and adds a level of security protection while they are at it. Also would they be asking the schools to block Google? I would hope not, as that would probably break a lot of links in forum posts. [Something you might find in a forum...]
I'm just amazed at the researched who actually managed to find a job where they actually get paid to sit on their asses and dream up this type of drivel...

As a Canadian sys-admin who works on a lot of US servers, I've known we've all been screwed for a long time. This came as no surprise. My question is (not really, I'm pretty sure of the answer), does this mean that any server(DBs included) touched by an outsourced worker is open for scrutiny and monitoring? If one party is American, and the other is a server that was "handled" by an outsourced worker, is this protected, or is it open for monitoring and recording? Most Canadians and other foreign nationals ought to understand what this means to them, if they didn't already.
This proposal indeed permits to extrapolate the hypothetical elements of the G-block and H-block in the same model.
Presumably that is the purpose of this periodic table... I would consider an alternative periodic table a success if it predicts new elements or new interactions that the old one didn't. I haven't been able to see the link, but my guess is that is the goal, not to change the periodic table we have, but to give another way of looking at the elements that allows for new predictions that can help advance research.
Ok, doesn't need to be beer, and doesn't need to be girls... Just needs to be some combination alcohol and some attractive member of the sex that you are most attracted to that only speaks the desired language.... I guarantee higher retention rates and more fluid communication:D Probably some historical/evolutionary reason for it...;)
Tell someone you're going to spy on them using X channel. I don't think that person is going to use X channel for their communications.
They already told you, and you keep using them... Telephone, celular, internet, banks, city wide surveillance... Problem is, it is really hard to opt out of such services these days.
Ok so this will likely lead to robot vs robot warfare with no real human casualties... So, I say we put that shit on TV and enjoy:)/joke Nah, I don't see any way for this to escalate badly/sarcasm

Don't know about you, but my laptop stays on a very long time between reboots... Goes to sleep often, but reboots? Only on certain types of updates/problems. If my computer somehow got infected and was not detected, it could do a lot of watching/logging/calling home/ddosing/etc while never touching the HD... If you can get enough random people to get infected on a regular basis, who cares if a few of them shutdown periodically.
What I would like to see for things like pocket knives is "mini-checked in luggage."
If you have less then a handful of items that would normally need to be checked in, you should be able to leave them with a stewart and grab them on your way out as if they were somewhere between checked-in luggage and carry-on.
I remember on my last flight I had carry-on luggage for must of my gear, but for my swiss-army knife and my med-kit I had a small fanny-pack sized bag that I had to check in... They changed me $20 for the privilege.
I hope you realize I was talking in jest about taking them down....
Regardless I totally agree with you about it being very similar to the airline industry. I also totally agree that the DOD needs some involvement if only because it is one of the few agencies that actually knows most of what is up there.
Once again the US trying to enforce laws outside of its jurisdiction...
So my question is what would they do about it? Shoot down a rocket with 12 rich blokes on a joy ride into space? I would be interested in how the media would cover that...
I actually don't mind the DOD being interested in such vessels, but they likely they need to (re-)assess its internal processes into how it will track, monitor and authorize vessels heading into space.
If two people independently invent something, then I think it should be non-patentable by definition.
Here we go... That sounds about right... The mere fact that two people tried to independently patent something at the same time ought to be clear proof that there is enough out there that the patent ought to be rejected. I'd even go further, if it can be proved that a person independently invented the same thing years into the life of a patent without ever having heard of the patent, then the original should be revoked (because that would mean that the ability of the world has caught up and now can do said thing with sufficient ease that it should be set free).
Breaching a patent by accident should, by definition, mean that the item is no longer patentable, and the original should be revoked.
Things that are actually complex and really hard to reproduce without the information in the patent could remain protected, and things that are trivial would lose their patents about as fast as they could file them. Patent fees would become an disincentive for trivial things.
That way things like massively complex manipulation of disk sectors on a harddrive (a software patent) could remain in effect for a long time, while one-click purchases would be revoked/rejected almost as soon as it was filed. Or a chemical that targets a certain protein would be patentable until someone else could find that chemical via alternate research methods (eg crowd sourced protein folding).
That would likely give their R&D departments a few good years of protection via patents and once the world has outstripped their ability to compete, they would be washed away with the markets (as well they should in any real capitalistic society)

Why don't you read the rest of my comments in this thread before going all high and mighty?
all efforts should be made in shaming those taking bad ACTIONS based upon collected data.
To heck with *shaming* people who take bad actions with collected data need to be *punished*. And pretty severely at that.
I think the motion was going to change the radio station...
I agree that is likely what they would do... Regardless of what country the players are from. (frown)
Though "munitions" really is a bad term for what amounts to an airplane that goes extra high relative to our little blue orb.
Very good points, thanks for the insight!
