wouldn't it be more efficient to have the lasers ground based and just give them extra juice to overcome any losses in the atmosphere? Seems like it would be a lot cheaper and avoid that "militarization of space" problem.
The significant figures (also called significant digits) of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. This includes all digits except: leading and trailing zeros which are merely placeholders to indicate the scale of the number.
also, there is a lot of water between the country who's laws he broke and where the server is and where he lives. i can understand the shutdown, but the arrest is a real stretch of jurisdiction.
this, although you get the occasional odd moderation, at least moderation on this website is done by someone who has earned their position in someway or another, on Reddit its just the unwashed masses voting away at whatever they think goes against their "idea"
What? that's just rubbish, the exact same problem happens on Reddit to a much worse extent.
at least on Slashdot if you disagree with the main point for a good reason you don't get modded into oblivion. on Reddit the voting system is just to mark how interesting something is, here its used to mark how relevant and accurate something is.
You're comparing news editorial site that discusses modern events, to an information dumping ground that's being bastardized into a "news" site.
we do this in our country (plain packaging for cigarettes). its a slippery slope, now you're not even allowed to show clients the range of cigarettes they want to purchase.. outright banning isn't too far off IMO.
3 Australia, the nanny state. (at least nanny told us not to waste all our money on a dodgy market, so although we have problems they aren't anything compared to Americas)
Labor Senator Kate Lundy said in January 2010 that she is lobbying within the party for an "opt-out" filter, describing it as the "least worst" option.[41] In February 2010 she said she would propose the opt-out option when the filtering legislation goes before caucus.[42] Stephen Conroy has stated that 85% of Internet Service Providers, including Telstra, Optus, iPrimus and iiNet, welcome the Internet filter.[43] In response, Steve Dalby, iiNet's chief regulatory officer, stated that iiNet as a company does not support the Internet filter, and never has.[44] On 9 July 2010, Stephen Conroy announced that any mandatory filtering would be delayed until at least 2011.[45] In June 2011 two Australian ISPs, Telstra and Optus, confirmed they would voluntary block access to a list of child abuse websites provided by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and more websites on a list compiled by unnamed international organizations from mid-year.[46]
there is some minor filtering at the moment, but that won't last long, major filtering will be implemented soon.
because thats where the risk to the industry is.. so yes, this is a "new" problem almost entirely unrelated to manually making analog copies of reduced quality.
If you make shoes and I start making shoes, your shoes are now worth less due to my competition (increase in supply), but I haven't done anything wrong.
this only works if you start making different shoes. legally you wouldn't be able to duplicate the shoes and just sell them as they would be considered counterfeit.
the only reason this is justified, is because only the biggest players can produce the shoes cheaper than the original manufacturer, the power slips up if you allow copying, only the bigger players can out produce the smaller ones.
however, if everyone was capable of making shoes (or for a much better example, following a recipe to make a meal), that would mean the power slips more towards the consumers and smaller players (like the professionals in the industry, for example chiefs), which IMO, justifies dropping copyright (like how there is no copyright for recipes) copyright is to avoid monopolies of power to allow the free market to encourage innovation, at the expense of the other smaller players having flexibility with content.
if that copyright is preventing a slip towards empowering the smaller entities (who innovate much more than the big entities) to maintain the monopoly of the biggest players... its sort of exactly the opposite of what we want to achieve with the laws.
100% agree with your point though, nothing morally wrong with copying a pattern, you don't need to owe someone something because it already existed elsewhere.

I wouldn't entirely put that past the Americans though.
if they are too big then they run the risk of being damaged by debris.

yep, realized what you were saying 12 seconds after i posted my reply, sorry.
did you even read the first 5 sentences?

well, that just opens the argument of "i wonder what else is approximated in the bible" seems awfully vague for "the word of god"
he could have payed the fine, they are controlling his money so its very difficult for him to mount an effective defense.
that, or excessive investigation by federal police could be traumatic to the mother which could cause problems with the baby.
I use mega too,
now the thousands we spent on marketing the link to our program has been wasted.
crimes which have a negative effect on society.
I think you're underestimating the consequences of the next Kardashian show getting canceled! lives are at stake people, this is serious business!

"So it has come to this"
but the order is wrong. grass is a relatively new evolution where as fish were around significantly longer.
isn't the kettle the republicans in that analogy?

Unless that risk is entirely at the disgression of a 3rd party.
I checked, there isn't.. don't verify that though, you don't need to. I double checked.
not as unsenosred as you think

he would also probably be stripped and searched too.
