Why the facade? We know that they're going to keep raising the length of copyright every 10 or so years indefinitely, so why not just skip the trouble and say copyright ownership lasts forever.
Heck, they could make it retroactive. It'd be fun to discover you're one of Mozart's kin and get a little cash.
I have a laptop that I bought a year ago that came preinstalled with Vista. XP wouldn't install on it (I'm sure there is some hack, but I don't have the time or energy to find it). When this laptop running this crummy OS is up for recycling, I'd be very happy to know that the next one I buy can run in XP mode and all of my software will run nicely.
And that's just it. It's a publicity contest. Really, a sort of novelty. If somehow they manage to get something really special they might start doing it every year. But no matter what happens nobody gets hurt, a bunch of people get a trip to New York, and get to perform at a world famous venue.
You can, but you can still see talent through crummy recording devices. That girl is talented (well, more talented than anyone I've known or seen live as an amateur), despite the 'computer on top of some books' recording studio.
NASA is a very closed system. You don't just "get" to become an astronaut because you want to. It's a long and involved project.
What surprises me is that we haven't seen foreign nations with a fair amount of intellectual capital but without a real space program attempt like types of trade with private space endeavors. It could eventually work out to being on a smaller scale, and could promote a more international, global interest in space.
Yes, because there isn't any service out there that lets people share the pointlessness of their lives. Otherwise, so many of its users would see marked improvements over "Going to take the dog to the vet" and spreading this banality to everyone stupid enough to click 'yes' and be added as a friend.
Or, a different way to put it: MS has difficulty because they operate under the assumption that end users will like what they produce, while Google is successful producing things that their end users will like. Rather than saying "This is what you should expect the Internet to be like", Google simplifies things and is more customer driven.
It has never crossed my mind to try another engine when I'm not getting the results I want. I simply try different terms in the Google search. After a while you get a hang of it, and it doesn't happen often.
Becasue a species must watch out for themselves first.
That's exactly why we need to develop weapons like the ones mentioned in the article. Don't think for a second that dolphins don't hate humanity. We passively and innocently shoot some sonar in the water and hours later the sea creatures are fruitlessly attempting a land invasion. No attempts to communicate, no negotiate peace. Just throw themselves on our beaches to try to take a chunk out of us. Thank goodness that's all they've ever gotten.
Yeah. It's kind of obvious. I have Multiple Sclerosis, and my neurologist has advised me to avoid any heavy physical activity that might raise body tempature. Moving around a bunch of heavy servers would be ill advised for anyone with MS. Why the researchers are studying that particular question is beyond me.
No kidding. What's the deal here. Kirk? Grew up in Iowa or something. Original Enterprise crew? Some Americans, a Russian, an Asian and a Scott.
Australians? I think there was one episode in TOS where a doomed red shirt looked like he might be Australian, but that was about it.
And despite being relatively new to the Federation, they decide to place their headquarters on Earth. Did they pick Sydney? No. They picked San Francisco, USA.
So why the heck do Australians get to see this movie first? Star Trek has nothing to do Australia.
All this means is that the first cam torrents to come out the day before the rest of the world's opening will be from a guy sitting behind some bloke who shouts out "Crike! 'ats some bloody good special effects!" every five minutes.
Don't forget the committee to redefine policies for environmental impact studies due to a modified ecological state. And of course, the committee formed to determine if such a committee would be necessary.
Enjoy your riches after your beach front properties are destroyed after rising ocean levels and extreme weather caused by global warming, and the insurance companies all go bust.

Austin is about the only city I could tolerate in Texas.
But the first thing I typed into the shell was:
man woman
Then I giggled.

My wife, now that we know that there's no grater risk of injury if she runs in her 6" stiletto heals.
Microsoft builds its house of dominoes out of playing cards. It's best not to ask how either one of them work.
They lose money on every product sold, no matter what. They make money by selling a lot of them (volume!)

Everyone dies. That and the 2009 Farm Dere tractors on the 5AM farm report.

Who needs invisibility when they don't need to leave the house; they can just be more interesting on their cell phone.

The fist computer to be crucified will be in 2012.
While some of their work has been brilliant, actions like that make me suspect that in the end, they're pretty much assholes.

Well, I know you'll never hear a Canadian sub coming... what with them being permanently enclosed in the West Edmonton Mall
For the Canadian sub to get out of the mall and come for you, I'd imagine it would make quite a racket.

The upside of all the ice melting is that Kevin Costner will mutate and form gills.
That or a brand new business of building cargo carrying submarines.
