The problem is where do you draw the line? Using your logic a coke-head cowboy form Texas can block all websites that speak badly about him and his co-workers because it promotes terrorism through dissent. My 'rights online' would be weakened but the 'rights offline' of other people would be improved because fewer people are hating him.
Are chlidren abused in the production of child porn? No shit Sherlock they are, but if an ISP blocks all site based on an algorithim where child and sex are on the same page then you block medical sites, the ACLU's webpage, abuse prevention sites, and the Democrat party home page.
No matter what the situations, a reduction of rights is ALWAYS the wrong thing to do. A reduction of rights will ALWAYS lead to dissent and will ALWAYS have ill consequences.
I don't see why OSDN hasn't asked that these ads be taken out of rotation for its servable content. A while back something in a similar vein happened at planetout (A GLBTQ website). The ads they were getting from their provider had some Christian right/anti-gay rights themes. They explained the situation and the ads were pulled from the rotation. This is a similar situation.

Point taken. What is important if this is actually used as a treatment is that even if you get cured of AIDS and your life expectancy increases and you will die old and healthy, you still have HIV which means you can still infect someone.
But yes, curing aids is a VERY VERY big step and I applaud the researchers who did this.
According to the article this is still not a cure for HIV since the virus will become less effective as the HIV infected cells begin to dwindle in numbers.
You whittisism is in vein of the single most important and overlooked idea behind the second amendment. The amendment was not only for defence against a British invasion but also for defence against a tyrannical federal govt. Jefferson wanted more than a right to bear arms, he wanted a constitutional right to revolution. The current form is just a PC version of his idea.
For example, if Windows can't access the default network printer, Word crashes.
Not a problem with XP or Office 2003. Actually never seen the problem with prior version. Sure, thats not the best answer but if I complained that there was a bug in cute-tux linux 6 when version 9 just came out what would you say?
Word 2003 and Windows XP Home.
To clarify my earlier point, those were the reasons I use Linux and the people who I know use Linux use Linux. While CS majors at Georgia Tech may not be an objective group, we are still a valid one. The people who will use Windows regardless will still use Windows regardless, and people who use *nix regardless will still use *nix regardless. But there are people who are willing to switch when issues on the other side are fixed.
Well there went some karma, I wish/. had a private message feature.
I don't see why one would need GPLed video drivers to get a hardware accelerated desktop. As you said OSX and Longhorn have those and neither have GPLed anything in their core.
I have not used Longhorn, but guaging from past MS upgrades the products get more annoying to use for me. IE6 is web browsing hell, popups, popunders, no control over javascript etc. Windows Explorer has lacking ftp support and NILL scp or sftp support. Networking is hell and the programs a cyclically dependant on half implemented goodies. For example, if Windows can't access the default network printer, Word crashes. Windows has also been known for being uncooperative between different versions. Windows XP refuses to look at any SMB shares from a 95 or 98 box.
Windows will have its traditional advantages, but I doubt Longhorn will be a Linux killer unless something fundamental at Microsoft has completly changed.
Unless I have missed something, an EULA is a contract. Contract law has many nice stipulations.
Oral contracts aren't worth the paper they're printed on i.e. no proof no contract.
Both parties have to agree to not only the same contract but also the same interpretation of the contract (which is why when you get a cell phone before you sign anything the sales person has to walk you through the entire contract).
A proper contract is noterized and signed by a witness.
A proper contract is between two people of majority age.
A contract must not be signed under distress.
And many other gotcha's designed to keep lawyers employeed and make contracts possible to break out of. How many of these do EULA's cover?
Now for the ontopic part, the user of the software and the person who agreed to the software terms are not necessarily the same person so even if someone signed explicit agreement it is null and void if the person using the software did not agree to it.
Interestingly enough the moon landing may be the reason that the hypersonic technology hasn't been advanced as much as possible.
When the X-15 was flying NASA essentially shuttle technology 20 years before the shuttle itself. What delayed the inception was Kennedy's push in the Apollo project which was an aviation evolutionary throwback.
A good story makes a good movie. The Legend of Zelda series more or less historically suck for stories and are about exploration. (I have played and beaten all the games but the N64 ones). In Wind Waker the story was about Hyrule but not about Link. A good story is one where the characters themselves change and learn more about their own selves and manage to change in some capacity. That makes a good movie.
What makes a good video however is being fun and entertaining. Take Metroid as an example. A fun game but no story at all. So now we have a game that is fun to play, but is kinda boring in review. From a game to movie perspective Megaman X makes much more sense and has ore to work with. You have the outsider (X as the first reploid and as such the father of the maverics), the internal conflict of the main character (why and I here and why do I fight), character progression (the destruction and rebirth of Zero and how it affected X's relationship with him).
MGS would make a better movie than any of my previous examples, however. You have a progression of plot with characters reveling much about themselves throughout the game/story as opposed to get key X to find location y and kill boss z.
My company is making a new creditcard system too. Our card will feature the CinderBlock (TM) theft prevention system. Essentially using the latest technolodgies we have embedded a magstip on a 16'x6'x8' piece of concrete. Its weight alone makes a quick snatch from an unsuspecting individual that much more unlikely. And in the event of a successful theft it features ValueBlast brand thermite and a OnStar(TM) accessible detonator. One push of a button and some poor theif just lost his arm, but your credit is secure.
The effects you are describing happens in land sales frequently. A man with x acres will give his children each an equal share in the x acres instead of splitting the land up. Then these children will borrow money against their share, sell it off, or give it to their children. After 20 - 30 years the shares are all split up and dilluted until someone comes along and forcloses on one share with an outstanding debt and is able to take all of the property. (There is an 8 year perdiod where the forclosure can be challenged but it is hard to succesfully execute after the forclosure is complete and impossible after 20 years). The term for this 8-20 year period is a colored title. (0-8 years I think is a contested title and 20 on is a clear title).
This sounds about as fun as hard drive hockey was in the tech lab at my highschool. During the end of the year all the desks would be removed from the class room for floor maintenece. At the same time the old computers were being moved into storage to make space for the new ones. Combine that with a ready supply of screwdrivers and PVC piping and viola. You have Hard Drive hockey (which really played more like hard drive shuffle board but it was fun nontheless).

I will be happy if they keep Samus a cool aloof bounty hunter and not try to make her into some champion of justice. The Instructions for the first game make her seem very aloof and that it cost the federation a pretty penny to hire her. The later games, however seem to make her more of a champion of justice (fusion being the main culprit).
Should we go to the moon: No. It is expensive and dangerous.
A more realistic question should be will we go back to the moon: Yes we will eventually.
People like to explore. Many people died colonizing the Americas, but we kept at it until it stuck. The moon is just the next step in this process. We, as humans, want to learn and explore. We want to go to the moon and to Mars. Because we want to we will eventually.
The problem I see with weapons in space (and was wondering if someone here could help me) is that when you shoot a bullet in orbit the gun goes backwards relationally to the bullet it sends foward. So how can any reasonable weapons system maintain accuracy if it moves several miles between shots?
