That's not even 3D. A true 3D "camera" would capture a sample at every point in the volume being captured. That means it would show what's inside objects too. Put another way, if I take a 3D picture of a house, it should look the same regardless of where I happen to be standing with the camera.
Actually, some hash functions have no collisions, for example one that returns the entire input as the hash. They should use that as their git hashes. Oh, wait...
Yes, ideas like physical things have value. Unlike physical things, they're not limited in the number of users. If I have a grape, I can eat it. If you take it from me and eat it, I can't eat it anymore, and must find something else to eat. If I have the idea of how to double my grape harvest, your using that idea as well doesn't diminish my grape harvest. This is the fundamental difference, and why it's imaginary property. To treat it like real property is insane, because it means I now have control over everyone's grape growing. That is, I have just usurped some of their property.
Here, I'll show you. You go build me a car factory, and in return, I'll give you a shiny number of your very own. Then you give some of your number back to me and in return I'll give you a car from my factory.
Well, who is to blame, the car factory guy, or the guy who voluntarily built it, knowing this is what he would get in exchange (not that this is really all he gets in reality, but I'll play allong with your hypothetical)?
I work part-time at Intellectual Ventures Labs, which enables me to get out of the house and exercise the nerdy predilections that I used to exercise at Blue Origin. This is a sort of all-purpose science lab and thing-making facility where new inventions are developed and then locked away for 20 years.
I like having the freedom to smoke cigarettes, and cry baby nanny-staters like DoofusOfDeath make me angry.
Even I, a non-smoker, get angry when people try to impose things on smokers, because an attack on someone's freedom to do something that doesn't harm others is an attack on my freedom to do the same. And no, I'm not talking about restrictions on smoking in public spaces where the smoke affects others; I'm talking about restrictions/taxes on smoking on private property where the smoke doesn't drift on to neighboring property and the property owner is OK with smoking.
No, the corruption of capitalism with imaginary property is why these things are in the toilet. It's an artificial monopoly over everyone's (non-imaginary) property.
Not only that, but every time he gets killed, he suddenly reapears at the doorway of a random hospital with enough strength to knock someone out and continue on his crime spree.
A breathalyzer test for buying alcohol? What exactly does this mean? What happens if you fail? Do the records get stored somewhere attached to your drivers license ID and if you fail do you get arrested as it notifies the local police that you're probably drunk driving home?
Yeah, if you're not drunk while buying alcohol, there's no way you could become drunk afterwards before or during your drive home. No way at all!
There's always the Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. Oh wait, that's not a prank (sadly Denon doesn't still have this listed on their site, as it used to be a legitimate product).

Your very classification of someone as a denier means you've already decided that they are not rational humans who consider well-reasoned arguments. Why would you bother making a well-reasoned argument (and accepting that maybe YOU have flaws in your argument, which cause it to be rejected)? You've already decided the outcome of your interaction with these so-called deniers, yet act as if the outcome was due entirely to their mindset. It's sickening to read paragraph after paragraph of this "deniers this, deniers that".
I don't know how I missed this. I thought we only had one Bill Gates. I'm checking my calendar carefully now, to be sure it doesn't say 2110 or 2210. This may be a frightening day...
It's funny how cable companies all want us to pay as we go for internet access, yet still insist on pushing bundlings of hundreds of TV channels on us if we want to use cable TV.
I guess my cable company doesn't offer that yet, because they laughed when I asked for 31-bit IP access, not the extended content available on the full 32-bit IP range.
Yes, I understand the difference, and there are other differences as well. The point I made seems to keep getting lost, that lending books reduces the number sold. If only the original buyer could read it, they'd sell more.
Have you looked at toilet paper shipments? Far more than PCs and smartphones combined. I predict that toilet paper will overtake both in the next 18 months, signaling an end of phones and PCs. Wait, it meets a different need? Hmmm, maybe phones do as well...
When you lend a book to a friend, you allow your friend to avoid buying a book for himself to read. That's the commonality between it and file sharing. And sellers of physical goods are actively working on ways to prevent you from lending or even selling things like books and game CDs to others.

Apparently if you talk smack about Anonymous, they'll install a 56k modem. What good is an Internet connection if you can't.... download?
There, fixed that for you Mr. Stephenson.
I'm confused, is this a bug or a feature? Could it be both at the same time?!?

Have you considered that the people reporting on this aren't well-informed om what is known about batteries?

I'm sorry sir, crying out loud is now also illegal. Ignorance of the law is no defense. Come with me.

There's always the old stand-by: the hosts file.

And yet it's plants' waste (oxygen) that is what we breathe, and vice-versa. We use the air around us as a toilet every time we breathe out.
And a nice forum for getting help is the badcaps forums. It's an eye-opener how often a device failure is due to degraded capacitors.
