... where some evil doctor was recreated in the holodeck to help find a cure for a disease one of them had. Even though the one being cured would have rather died than have this evil doctors cure.
the moral point came at the end. To save the evil doctors program and cure, or to delete it because of the immoral way in which he did his research.
The choice was to delete it.
In other words, ooxml could be the best document format there is, but given the evil company who created it (evil proven so in so many ways, not least of which is in legal cases outcomes), do we all really want it or is it something that mass ignorance (users who don't know but will use it upon it being dumped on them) will force the rest of us to use?
OR
IS THERE GOING TO BE A 99.9% converter so those of us who want to be free of it can be, as well as allowing those who want top be ignorantly enslaved can be fully so?
If the standards org is not going to do this then what is the worth of anything else they might do with this matter?
It's likely to have been the pollen clogging up her sinuses while desensitizing her allergies.
Where pollen counts in the rest of the country are considered very high at 200, in Atlanta we commonly get to 2000 + and worse case year was 6000 +.
And I have hear that people who have lived in teh Atlanta area all their life but move out for 6 months and back now suffer from sinus problem they did not have before.
What I learned from this article is that bees have a sense of smell???
... is it used to purchase digital to analog converters for those who bought such analog TV's?
Very doubtful!!!
So the consumer gets screwed and based on that screw job the legal system, whatever it is, then screws the screwers. Ultimately the consumers get nothing and the advertisers have less audience.
Its healthy to be a bit paranoid when using public transportation as it is probably creates a safer environment. Imagine the criminal mentality increasing the crime rate if their was no paranoia and resulting actions in effect.
Should not such an act as this hold a penalty of disbarment?
This is only another situation that shows there is no position a human can hold that prevents him from committing some deception against others.
It is because of such evidence that some positions of power should be eliminated or have built-in checks that would at least require wide scope and unlikely collusion to perform.
...if there really is something to bible revelation mention of the stone image of the beast. Of course the beast is man and the image is his invention of computers.
But its stuff like this you have to wonder how in the hell did it ever come about this spending huge amounts of money on a different way of voting? And a way that just is not so secure, but rather easy to manipulate.
Hmmm, so I bet it was an electronic vote that "forced" purchase and use of such systems???
But one thing is for sure, its another strike against the machines and those promoting their use.
Seems to me they could use human waste propulsion to offset atmospheric drag, so long as its directed at the earth. put the waste under pressure and release it in a directed manner.
What is universally accepted as not being patentable:
abstract ideas, natural law physical phenomenon
Mathematical algorithms as often added to this but in essence are included in the three primary.
The reason these are so universally accepted as not being patentable is that its near impossible to enforce patents against such things. i.e. patent on gravity... you cannot use gravity without paying me royalties. But if you try and avoid gravity and walk off a cliff, paying royalties to some fool is teh least of your concerns.
How these applies to software:
Abstract ideas is rather obvious as software is the art of abstraction creation and use if anything is to be considered an art of abstraction.
Natural law is that abstraction is naturally a characteristic of human ability. Without it we could do nothing more than preform like any other animal incapable of developing technology, medicine, clothing, etc..
Physical phenomenon - thru the application of non-physical based abstraction we cause physical movement. If I tell you to go to the store and get a gallon of Mayfield milk, I have used abstract ideas communicated and received by you to act upon. If I/we did not have such ability, Mayfield milk would not exist to begin with.
Now many claim that software is in essence mathematical algorithms, but the basis of computer technology, the way it works, defines this constraint as a computer is based on "calculating" defined in terms of numbers (binary based). However, a radio station (fm or am) uses a carrier signal that cares not of what is carried over the signal, be it music, news, talk, noise, etc... And in the same way this basis of computing can as well be used as a carrier of abstraction far beyond math. Yet the carried its still inherently made up of the three primary things universally consider not being patentable.
This software patent fraud that has been going on has, as any attempt to contradict physics and nature, very bad effects, only due to the inherent nature of abstraction the skill of abstraction manipulation (human use and ability to deceive via abstraction manipulation) there are those who have remained fooled by such deception and unfortunately are in positions to indirectly tell people they have to walk off a cliff rather than recognize they are human with inherent abstraction skill and as a natural human characteristic it is to be expected and even encouraged to be what we are and make the best of it.
There is a way to not only prove all of this but in so doing build up a foundation of common knowledge solution direction of anyone "skilled in the field", non novel, and other aspects supporting non-patent-ability.
Humans can be deceptive for a long time and in an environment that even proves otherwise. This might be called the "human denial factor". Examples of this are well known, ie. Galileo and teh exoneration in the early 1990 of his views. But a lot of good such exoneration does Galileo now. Likewise the Hindu-Arabic decimal system took three hundred years to over come the far more mathematical limiting roman numeral system. Lets face it, only a fool would think nothing cannot have value (re: zero place holder), yet accountants using roman numerals were elite.. (sound familiar?)
Anyways, this idea of asking for funds/donations for to support software patents, regardless of the claimed intent of obtaining such patents, is supporting dishonesty and does not help to resolved the real issue of genuinely recognizing the honest nature of software.
I mean the BSA is now in teh process of going around busting whoever they can and imposing on the busted enormous charges yet giving none of it back to the software producers.
There seems to be a direct relationship between level of abstraction meaning complexity required in application and the learning curve.
A trade off of higher learning curve for faster programming with more complex abstractions vs. lower learning curve for less abstract complex language application.
In the simplest example and using the basis of common computers: When you mark a switch with a symbol of a "0" and a "1" what does it mean? On/Off or a variation inbetween these like standby, sleep, or any other thing besides on/off? What is function overloading of this switch? How many users of computers don't know about the 5 second button push? Isn't the symbol consistant with its use on other devices like TV's...
I just told my neighbor, who is retired and had been dealing with computers for a long time, how to shut the computer off by holding the switch/button in for five seconds.
There is a reason why C++ usage is what it is and its not due to failure to explain the way the designer was thinking, but rather that it is to abstract for the pace and change rate of today. In other words, those who use it correctly have managed to learn to think like the designer. But not everyone thinks in the same way (i.e. some people think primarily in terms of words, others in terms of numbers and still others in terms of visual images or sounds.)
Arrogance is hard for one to see of themselves. A matter of inherent subjectivity. That is what he fails to see, Not what others fail to understand of his mindset.

So in the end the advertisers get screwed too.
