Doesn't even work for MMO's. Nothing is preventing you from recording and saving the 3d structure of the trees, characters and landscape of the game, nor the audio or final video representation either. Just because nobody bothers to do something doesn't mean it cannot be done.
IAMAL either, but have taken a busiless law class. In British Columbia, Canada (and I assume most other places), any contract containing ANY illegal obligations is 100% void and worth absolutely nothing.
Are you asking if it can detect a color change instead of a physical change? If so, I believe it can since the juice bottle was more or less uniform all around (no handle, etc) and it was able to detect that it rotated just fine.
I actually fully agree with you. I personally also don't see the issue with eating genetically modified foods (like a caveman owning a chihuahua), but reintroducing those species into the environment (allowing your chihuahua to mate with wolves) can seriously mess stuff up. It could be like the rabbits in australia all over again.
As much as I agree about readability and code lenght, I'm fairly certain the line-length of books is more or less dictated by what shape they want the book to be. Full size books (size of a laptop) are generally sized for small children so they can hold them easier and textbooks that normally contain graphics, diagrams, etc. Novels are typically around 80 characters wide so that you can fit the book into an average jacket pocket or other convienent storage/transportation device.
Ok fine, so the phones made by Motorola for Google will be closed source. That's called a BRANCH. Every other hardware manufacturer can still keep using the open source code from before the license change and even fork the project.
What we need to do is separate patents from ideas.
Thank You! The way patents are supposed to work is by patenting the specific *implementation* of the idea, not the idea itself. For instance, see the movie "Flash of Geniues" and you'll see that they cover this concept very well. In their example, the idea was intermittent wipers. In the movie, Bob Kearns did not patent the idea of "wipers that turn on & off to prevent squeeking", but on his method of using electronics (as opposed to the current attempts using mechanics) to accomplish that feat. All the software patents I've seen recently are along the lines of "use large squares in a grid as icons to launch applications", not "use this algorithm to determine the correct order in which to display those icons". Now algorithms are of course not patentable, but you get the idea.
I meant laboratory cross breeding at the gene level, maybe I should have been more specific. Basic breeding takes 2 animals and get them to mate creating a new animal that hopefully inherits the *good* qualities of both previous animals. Genetic engineering allows you to CHOSE which traits get passed on. Once you can do it artificially (no sex), you can cross-breed different species, then you can pull individual traits from one species and put them into another, then you can start creating your OWN traits and put them in. No matter how you do it, you still have a normal animal (or plant) at the end, it's just been artificially evolved.
Had someone in the caveman erra genetically modified (at the gene level) a wolf into what is now a chihuahua, they would have been labeled evil and unnatural and probably had their new creation banned from public availability. But because the chihuahua was creating through old-fashioned selective breeding, we don't think twice about it (well, unless you neighbour has one that won't stop barking).
what i read in your post is a sort of father-knows-best attitude--
that the patient should do exactly as the doctor says, no questions.
that's a pretty absolutist way of thinking. and i don't think it's
the way you get adults to cooperate.
do you do absolutely everything your doctor tells you to do?
That's not a fair question. You are comparing someone who says their doctor knows less than them (vaccines) to people that just don't take some things as seriously (what percentage of people floss twice a day). Vaccines are one of the IMPORTANT things (like don't rat poison), not one of the "may improve your quality of life" (like eat all your vegetables).
I.E. if someone else was to get sick via a non-vaccinated person then in theory they were also NOT vaccinated. Hence they only people suffering would be those who chose not to get the shot.
BINGO, you just proved you know next to NOTHING about vaccines. It is common knowledge that vaccines are not 100% effective, estimates are usually in the 80% or so range. The way it WORKS is that if a high percentage of the population (say 80%) get the vaccine, then an estimated 64% are *effectively* immunized. This prevents the spread of the virus and causese it to die out (see smallpox, etc). I wish that second 80% were higher, but unfortunately some people are legitimately *unable* to get the vaccine due to egg allergies, compromised immune systems, recent surgeries, etc. The more people that "opt-out" of the vaccine, the LOWER that second 80% gets. Let's say that 10% of the population decides to opt-out, that brings the second 80% to 70% and the final effective immunity drops to a dismal 56%. ouch.
Refusing to get vaccinated is like an appartment owner refusing to install smoke detectors because they contain radio-active components (I know old ones did, not 100% sure on the new ones).
Slashdot Mirror
NOBODY (except possibly you) proposed any such thing. What they ACTUALLY meant was that you can't do it with proprietary software either.

But they don't have to stay TOGETHER for a month. There are many tourist towns in Canada.
Or a generator. I've yet to see a generator without a choke.
Whooosh.

Is releasing drugged game from boxes and then shooting them at close range really illegal?
FTFY

How does that statistic look when considering the population of the US compared to the population of countries Europe?
No, but sharing with an EX wife may bring some legal action as you can no longer claim it's 1 copy that's shared by two people.

I had no idea there were organic pesticides. Learn something new everyday!
Actually, I was refering to the "catholic" part.
I don't think he was saying they aren't rich, he was responding directly to the "30% are in the top 1%" statement.

That's right, smallpox eliminated itself...
And people have died from bad batches of apple juice and lettuce, are you going to stop drinking juice and eating salads now as well?
