Just like Nuclear Fusion it will be commercially viable in 7-10 years...
From the Article:
The predicted cost of jet fuel using these technologies is in the range of $3-$6 per gallon, and with sufficient funding and partnerships, this approach could be commercially viable within the next seven to ten years. Pursuing remote land-based options would be the first step towards a future sea-based solution.
Yeah, how many passwords like: R;3m|/|iv%{^B$ do you have memorized?
I have 26 like that. I also have a system to alter them when it is time to change them. I also have a generic "Password123" password for sites that are use once and forget.
A small notebook kept in a passport belt that never leaves your side should work well.
If you are required to have such a high level of security that this is not a good idea then you should use your memory. A failing memory means that you are not suitable for the job and should find something else, like working in a retirement home.
You just tell these primma-donnas what they want to hear so you pass the course, graduate the fuck out, join the world of adults and start creating/doing things that matter.
When you finally get into the world of adults you will find yourself kissing ass to a moron manager who doesn't know what he/she is talking about. These literature courses will serve you well in knowing how to bullshit your way around.
If Syria has dropped off the internet due to the inaccessibility of the.sy domain, then, the internet is not routing around the damage.
It's pretty bloody obvious.
TOR would route around these issues with minimal effort. The internet as it is now known, is being controlled and censored. The internet as it was, is now TOR. Get with the times and stop posting rubbish that is 20 years out of date.
China blocks facebook with some success. Surely it's possible for other governments to only filter/block facebook ads. Even if its not 100% successful, it would be disruptive enough to facebooks revenue stream to encourage facebook to fall into line.
But the reason why there's even anything called 'Copyright Infringement' is because there's a general notion that one can make a creative work that's value is in the concept rather than the physical embodiment.
You can follow that notion if you like. The notion I tend to follow isn't the promulgated one of compensation for conceptual thoughts. The original notion of copyright is buried in the history of the Vatican during the protestant reformation for control of the printing press and rapid dissemination of the Bible. Pesky protestants of the day were reading and putting their own spin on the Bible, this angered a corrupted Rome. To combat this loss of power, the corrupted officials (the Pope, et. al) introduced legislation to prohibit copying things (the Bible). The cried out how the poor scribes would loose their jobs, when the reality was that these corrupted officials would loose their jobs as the hoi polloi of the day might just be able to understand that the Bible wasn't all truth, but, in fact it was a poorly verified historical document.
Say what you will about it being theft, but, the true reason for copyright isn't to compensate the "owners" of Elvis' recordings. The true reason for the continuance of copyright is to ensure that certain corruptible officials maintain their lifestyle at the expense of the "hoi polloi".
I don't know why slashdotters have persisted for well over ten years
Maybe thats because the copyright system is both morally and intellectually corrupt, from it's birth to it's modern day construct. Slashdot is (or once was) an intellectual site, people with intelligence can see just how wrong the system is because, unlike the sheep, we can see just how wrong copyright is. The foundations of this well justified persistence most likely originate from these original slash-dotters.
Copying is not theft. Copying is not stealing. It is NOT the same thing.
Back in 1985 a man named Dowling was prosecuted for the Interstate Transportation of Stolen Property for selling infringing copies of Elvis records. U.S. Supreme Court in DOWLING v. UNITED STATES, 473 U.S. 207 (1985) http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&court=US&case=/us/473/207.html struck this down because copyright infringement is not theft. You have to deprive your victim of the item in order to steal it from them. Making copies doesn't deprive anyone of what is being copied, therefore its not theft.
The only newspaper information they hold are copies of today's papers. There is no way I can go to the library and look-up yesterday's news, let alone the 1920s
This is because the Ministry of Truth has determined that two plus two always has and always will equal five.
Coal mining is completely different to seam gas extraction. Coal mining removes the coal. Seam gas extraction leaves the coal seam in-situ. Seam gas extraction extracts water that is within the seam, this water contains gas, the gas is separated from the water.
The size of an exploration pad is nothing more than 30x30m, including all the equipment. The size of a production drill pad for CSG extraction is nothing more than 2 basketball courts.
At least, this is how it works in my part of the world... and seriously, in Central Queensland (Australia) we have boat loads of the stuff.
Battlestar Galactica has a lot to answer for. Referring to the "fracturing" of seams beneath the earth sounds much worse than it actually is when it is called "fracking".
The real question we should all be asking is: WHERE THE FRACK ARE YOU GOING TO GET ENERGY TO POWER YOUR NEW DIGITAL ECONOMY FROM?
Often visible in the southern hemisphere. The small southern city of Hobart, Australia, has very good views. Southern New Zealand would also be a good viewing platform.
Darwinism doesn't apply when the penalty for stupidity (i.e. lack of fitness) is less than death or at least, sterilization.
When a couple only produce one child and this child only has one child in coupling with another only child, the relative amount of their DNA in the gene pool diminishes. Compared this to their neighbour, who produces three offspring every generation. It's simple enough to create a proof by induction that you have either not understood what I wrote, or, that you have no idea what you are talking about... please refrain from posting rubbish.
How then do you explain those who can deal with the pace of modern life, including those who love and work frequently with technology and information, yet retain the ability to concentrate and focus and pay attention at will?
Sufficient genetic deviation in the population should allow such people to exist. If these people are successful breeders relative to the ADD folks, then, Darwins law of evolution shall explain the rest for you.

It's only the buyers that he wants to track?
Does he want to know who is customers or competitors are?
You'll need a big fucking gun to stop the little imps.

Censorship != Damage
The "non-TOR" internet does not route around damaged sections.
The "non-TOR" internet should be renamed to the stasi-net.

implement a global technocracy
that is all we need
use tor
cbf'd posting as anon-coward as even slashdot isn't anonymous...
It's intertwined with politics you ignorant tool.
There are levels of "illegality". Parking infringements differ vastly to mass murder.

It's beautiful, isn't it.
I read the linked articles and it dawned on me. So very beautiful.
I'm glad there are others. :))
