"We're going to have the device self-assemble inside the human cell," he said. "That's what we're working on now."
How would this work? Wouldn't you need another nano-machine to assemble it? And wouldn't the possibility that your bloodstream would either carry it away or destroy it make it so hundreds would have to be implanted?
I still don't see how they could make it assemble itself, lol. i guess i'm a moron (now I'll get a few hundred AC's confirming it)
It isn't like people will ever quit accepting connections, the home user won't let it, I know people who have only gotten the internet because of napster. Also, if you were an ISP, and you took away Napster and the like, you would lose half your customers. (it isn't likely that all individual users would cut off incoming transmissions, so the ISP would have to do it for it to actually happen)
On top of that, it just doesn't make sense. This sounds like the rumor that the internet will die soon that always goes around. It could happen, but it won't.
In addition, once people quit doing it, someone would revive it. The Gopher article from yesterday says it all, you can't really destroy any kind of internet technology that could be considered cool to even a small group of people. They will revive it, and it will grow.
I know this will be considered flamebait, but someone has to say it. Tom pretty much hates intel. I wouldn't go to Toms to hear about how good the newest Intel Chipset is, ever.
i would take his 'reversal' with a grain of salt. i'm not trying to say anything mean, just don't take it at face value. would you trust a microsoft report on the bad side of open-source?
This is one step closer to creating bionic spines to help paralyzed people walk again. This would certainly be interesting, and help a lot of people out, but it goes beyond that. In theory, we could create viable exo-skeletons, which would simply use your regular brain functions to perform tasks with greater force.
I assume you could also train someone to have multiple arms with this technlogy, which would prove even more interesting.
"the first time we have had direct evidence for the hypothesis that comets seed life on other planets."
Wouldn't any fragment from a comet burn up in the atmosphere? And if it was too big to burn up, wouldn't that make it create hostile conditions which would destroy small forms of life? (i'm thinking ice age)
This is not very surprising for two reasons; more techies learn their skill on their own time, before they graduate, and due to the improving economy, we can afford more fitness experts. Every person that I know that likes to tinker around with electronics, has done so from an early age. Through this, they have acquired vast amounts of knowledge through both trial and error, and reading up on their future trade.
Meanwhile, due to the rising, lets say, average mass, of Americans, there is more need for fitness experts than ever. In addition, due to the booming economy, we also have more money to spend on recreation. Also, urbanization has made it hard for us to exercise outdoors like we did in previous generations.
All these factors make this an understandable statistic, and hardly newsworthy. It will make good trivia though.:)
It would make a lot more sense for the French government to install censorware rather than make Yahoo! do it. They are putting an unfair burden on a corporation, to enforce morals that don't make sense (aren't we supposed to learn from the past?)
Also, shouldn't the French government also have to block out sites like Anonymizer? It would seen to me that if they didn't, they would try to hold Yahoo! liable for it. That wouldn't be fair to Yahoo! because it is would be impossible for Yahoo! to block every redirect surfer on the net.
This will be a hard sell for both businesses and individual users. I know for a fact that everyone i know thinks of software in material terms. It is the difference between owning and leasing a car. People prefer ownership because it gives them a secure feeling, and ensures to themselves that the company they are leasing from doesn't cancell the contract, change the terms, or go out of business.
It is also important to remember that most consumers don't trust the internet, and having a service that would update over the internet will concern many people. If someone did a good hack, they could make every update install a virus on every machine that MS sent data to.
This is something that is bound to happen eventually. It is highly unlikely that ANY company will be able to survive PURELY on advertising. I'm glad a company is trying to become profitable, and trying old methods rather than just looking for something new all the time. The only reason it flawed before was the whole "dot-com" rush. Companies would sell their employees souls to get customers, and giving away free services cost them little, and gave them great results. Now that companies are *gasp* forced to make a profit, this is now a feasible way of making money.
Swain says the driving force of the law changes is the wish to protect privacy because there is no legislation to say "wandering into someone's internal communications system is illegal
If the government is to use this; what would stop a hacker/cracker in that country from using it as well?

Relating to a story a few days ago; if this were to pass, it would mean NZ couldn't sign the 'anti-hacker' treaty they were proposing..

I don't see why they saved MIR, call me a troll, but i personally think that that money could have done more help to the International Space Station, albeit, it is only $27 million dollars, but that could at least help pay for some of it.
If they were to release the server logs right after the event took place, and explained what happened, they would be asking for trouble, so it is more likely that they will take a few days to write up the report, during which time a fix could be created. This is an interesting move though, and i wonder if, in the event of a hacker seeing the report, and using it to hack a different companies site, if they would be liable for any damages..
I seriously doubt this will matter in the long run for the Microsoft trial. They have the odds stacked against them, because the proof is overwhelming. In addition, if Rehnquist were to preside, he will most likely be harder on MS in order to prove his impartiality to the world.
By the time that they discover the astroid, and decide whether or not it will be dangerous to us, and then decide how to deal with it, we'll be screwed. In a project like this, there will be too much red tape to deal with for the researchers to properly address each threat. If this were to be created, it would face the brunt of every round of tax cuts. Do you think John Q. Public would rather 'waste' money protecting his ass from meteors, or have an extra $20 a year to blow on pr0n? And because of these tax cuts, they will have no money to deal with the threats. It is happened to SETI, and it will happen to this.
I was wondering how they can tell the difference between a new star, and this star (these stars??). The article says it is behaving in the same manner, so how can they tell?

I'm probably and idiot, but I'd like to know..
I blame this squarely on West Palm Beach voters, Microsoft, the RIAA, and the MPAA. They seem to be the cause of all evil, around here at least.

imagine a beowolf cluster of these laws! i'm sorry, i really am. there goes some karma, oh well.
Good drugs - non-physically addictive and does same/around damage that smoking and drinking do.
Oh, if it only does as much damage as smoking does, which we know is so minute, it can't be bad at all.

DAMN ALCHEMIST!!! think they can change the world!! i'm sure someone sold their soul to make this possible.

If you just explain to the politicians that without these vital people, they might now be able to get pr0n as easily, and watch quick legislation.
