McDonalds does have a very specific process for manufacturing their burgers. Things like the order and size of ingredients, and details such as toppings should touch and not overlap.
Since copyright doesn't make any judgements on how good a creation is or what it's worth, I'd actually argue that these would have at least as good a claim to copyright protection as the typical nouvelle cuisine.
As the bird flies, the distance between San Diego and San Francisco is 450 miles.
Why would you need to get to the destination? Surely you'd be able to close sections of the tube and repressurise it. Or pressurise the whole thing. There's a ready supply of air at standard pressure just outside the loop.
Google UK does give the language as its first hit, but also gives a bunch of darts clubs.
I guess it's not too bad. Programmers tend to be very active online, so the languages tend to get high pagerank. But still, if I were to create a language, I'd going to go for either a really obscure word, or a misspelling. I think searchability should be considered a feature.
Why would paid shills waste their time posting on slashdot? Perhaps in the late 90's/early 2000's, but its importance as a tech site is nowhere near what it was back then.
I kind of agree that he's not really doing anything to deserve money income from this. But I suspect he won't get any anyway, because he's not really offering much. If he does somehow find a way to get money for old rope then I'm not really going to hold it against him. Nothing stopped either of us from doing the same. He just got lucky.
Why is it cheaper? Don't ask me. But it reportedly is.
My guess would be that these are easy to transport and deploy. Pulling a cloth over means getting a boat and keeping it lined up. Also needs to be transported in one piece. Balls can be loaded into a dump truck, driven to any point around the reservoir, and just dumped in. They'll spread out by themselves.
And plastic balls are very cheap. These don't even need to be particularly good quality. Stamp them in a mould, glue two halves together, you're done.
I read somewhere that over 500 feet is navigable airspace, under 80 feet it private property and there's no legal precedent or legislation about heights between.
Not sure how high drones fly. It looks like it was above 80 feet. I have no idea whether it would even be in range at 500 feet. Nor am I all that clear whether your right to private property extends to destruction of equipment that enters.
You'd need to find something creative in the format that is actually copyrighted.
Letterman is essentially the same as any other talk show. The distinctive feature was Letterman himself.
Top Gear has The Stig, and "Star in a reasonably priced car", which, while not the epitome of creativity, do have a stamp of originality that they'd have a much harder time getting away with copying.
I actually wonder if they're going to do supercar track times. Clarkson is a pretty good driver, but he doesn't have the crazy precision (lap times within 1/100 secs of each other) that a professional racing driver has.
Probably not close to that many on the streets. Most of them are inside shops, and other private businesses, with most of the government owned ones covering stations or enforcing traffic rules.
Not sure I agree but it's a fair point. Surgery seems to be able to do a hell of a lot these days, but the breakthrough we really need is in better drugs to prevent rejection. As well as the minor inconvenience of having to take drugs every day, they also clobber the immune system.
I think there's a lot of speculation in the article being represented as fact. Reading the article, it doesn't look like the researcher actually did manage to control the car through the radio. Just suggested that it might be possible to do so.
Still, using the suggestion in the article, it might be possible to instruct the car to parallel park if this is operated using a touch screen through the "infotainment" system. Seems unlikely that such a system would operate any fundamental car functionality though.

Of course you can make money of material in the public domain. The whole point is you can do what you want with it.
The presumption is that Sweden would spirit him at night, and seek forgiveness rather than permission after the fact.
To me it sounds like paranoid hysteria, but I do wonder if Assange really believes this. He does come across as a little unstable.

Do banner ads work though? I had to check to see what the ad on top of the front page was.
Because the mathematics is not what's being patented. The implementation of a process to do a specific task is patented.
If you find a use for these techniques outside of video and audio compression then you can do so without infringing.
It is 55.8% chance of it picking the same winner as the editor. So not too bad. Suggests it might get rid of a lot of the rubbish entries.

Naaah. This is Britain. We're content with some pretty low quality tea, and it's pretty cheap when you buy it by the ton.
Huh?
I think Cameron's idea is rubbish and unworkable. Doesn't mean that I'm not going to criticise reasons that I consider poorly thought out.
Sure. It's 4111 1111 1111 1111.
If the problem is that porn sites are dodgy and disreputable then that is a valid criticism. It's a different criticism from the one GGP made.
Yes. Use CC verification.
It doesn't need to be perfect. A lot of adults do actually keep their credit cards safe. A lot of kids don't steal their parents' cards.
I think that's just IP location based.
I couldn't by mp3s from amazon.co.uk in Belgium with a British credit card either.

Not on Slashdot they don't! ðY

Does anyone even use the Windows API directly? I'd have thought people would avoid it for exactly the reasons you mention.
An article for non-techies will usually explain briefly what an OS is and what Linux is.
