That's quite naive. First of all youtube would ban a lot of media that wikimedia would not (a lot of biology media regarding human anatomy for instance...) secondly youtube is of the stance that "there's no such thing as fair use".
Oh wow, that idea triggers all kinds of mad scientist urges in me! Oh wait, aren't we already interfacing using sight, sound, etc? Although a low-level direct connection might be interesting.
I'm sorry that my capability to recognize a tragedy as something, well, tragic instead of more material for snide comments offends you. Incidently, by your own rhetoric, you really shouldn't care about what I posted nor what I'm posting now.
I also recognize that the world is filled with tragedies and that it is impossible to associate yourself with all of them. It is an order of magnitude outside what we as humans are able to comprehend. That doesn't mean that we should disregard it when we get presented with it.
Did you check your facts before you opened up the floodgates of your arse? The guy may have been a defence contractor, but his company made FORTIFICATIONS. Not in the sense of point-defence systems, but in the sense of freaking walls.
Buy mine instead! Sure, they have an extra 42% markup on the prize, but they come in a more spiffy package with the words "ECO FRIENDLY" in large, friendly letters on the front!
Agreed, that's in no way fair. But if you get a dual citizenship, what's to prevent you from ignoring the country that won't let go of you? "Pay your taxes!" "Uhm, no?"
Sure, it will get you in a pretty bad standing with said country.
Sorry that the space was claimed before you were born. Really.
There is a fundamental problem that I can acknowledge in that ideally a person should be able to dictate the specifics of their own livelihood. Unfortunately we live in a shared reality and this simply isn't possible.
Citizenship implies a wish to subscribe to a given society. If you don't want to be American, feel free to unsubscribe. Wish to be an american but not pay for the membership? Cancel it and sign up with someone else. Wish to keep your rights and privileges with a given society but not pay for it? Sorry, can't help you freeload.
As long as you hold onto your citizenship you act under the rules of that society (to the extent that they can exercise their legal branch) and gain whatever benefits it implies. Even if you don't use it, you have access to it and depending on the rules of the society you will have to pay for it. Unless there is some privilege you want to withhold there really is no reason to keep a citizenship to a country you do not live in. If you have a problem with the concept of "unsubscribing" from your nationality, don't worry, it is all a formality.
Even if you don't read the magazines you subscribe to, you still have to pay for your subscriptions as long as you maintain them.
Society. Look it up. You're not your own kingdom and even if you were are we to be your slaves? Why should we talk to you, since you obviously want nothing to do with the rest of society? Or are you promoting a society where macho alphas constantly try to club each in fear of being clubbed back, because any resemblence of organized protection has gone down the drain because noone wants to pay for it?
Counter my argument with "but we'll pay for protection!" and I'll laugh, because from there we could go on to cover more and more until you got the modern society you despise and loathe so much. Taxation is paying for that society and the mutual goods. Since nobody likes a dictator serving himself we're trying to organize around a democracy to best judge what is needed. That may not work perfectly and in varying degrees fail somewhat, but thus far it is the best we fucking got. So until some better solution for governance shows itself we just got to stick with it instead of being crying 4-year olds who want everything and supply nothing.
Good, you agree! Now go out and get that evidence. Oh wait, they don't want you poking around in their secrets? Too bad. I guess we'll never know. Long live ignorance!
When the government wants evidence, they (usually) get a warrent. When the public wants evidence? Much harder.
Yeah, because all self-respecting coders has this driving urge to reinvent the wheel whenever they're met with an already functional and documented piece of code.
I must commend you on a accurate headline. What you did looks jarring like talking out of your ass.
They spent 100 million dollars on the game, not on the early release feature. The download is for pre-purchase, if you crack it your customers get early access to the game... and surprise, you still got the money. Indeed this means that the game could be pirated early, something that has happened to other games before. This is what they're preventing. But, like mysidia, I see no reason they should have put more effort into the DRM then anyone else. Just enough to make it a hassle. The specific DRM for this purpose don't really have to survive for longer than, say, 27. of this month? So why invest substantial effort into innovating the crypto-lock on the early release?
Yes, there could be reasons but mysidias argument is logically sound while yours isn't, so watch it when throwing stones.
Yes. Contradictory statements. Which is why I propose it is tested if possible. If you can't trust your sources or cannot retrieve a clear answer, you have to look in other places for it.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Skype says that Fring cut the functionality themselves and Skype haven't blocked them? Isn't that testable? Like setting up Fring and some sniffing program and see if they handshake?
I don't have the required technical expertise in that field myself, but if someone could check it out I think it would be interesting.
A minor issue with the headline (of both the summary and the article) is that the black hole does not really emit the gas bubble per se. It is emitting jets of extremely fast moving particles which then hits nearby interstella gas. Obviously this causes an increase in temperature, creating a "snowball" effect resulting in the aforementioned 1000-light-year-wide (flaming) gas bubble.

Always good to get corrected and learn something new. I guess the only solution is to not travel through or near the offending country.
Read the second part of what I wrote instead of only the first sentence.

Last time I checked, unless you actually leave the airport you're in international territory.
Read the article. It was not the inventor that died, but the owner of the product.
wow, seems like I was too slow. Love how people can get a laugh out of everything..
My condolences to his friends and relatives.

Don't worry, this happens all the time at physicist frat parties. It helps to weed out the livestock.
but do you know who lit it on fire? Right,
Your mom.
Now what does that tell us about our mothers?
Ya momma so fat that when she tried to mate with the local black hole it just went "hell no!"

I want this with a burning red-light toggle!
