Oh GREAT!. He has been working on copyright for the last 10 years and look where we are now!! Please Lessig, go work for umm Disney, we don't need that kinda help..
I generally just answer everything that comes from my local area code. If it doesn't or isn't of a small group of people I expect to call long distance I don't answer it. Would be nice to be able "whitelist" by area code. Most of the time the girl you just met will have a local number, if not do you really want a long distance relationship?? (Well if it means no commitment booty call??.. maybe)
No it really isn't different. Nintendo cartridges today are very similar legally to Records of old. Its a new technology, coupled with a special player. People just got used to open ended video and audio. So companies can't get away with it anymore.
If it does flatten that doesn't necessarily mean you need gravitons or anything. The simple propagation of the curve of spacetime would have to move in a relativistic time frame, same as the propagation of any wave really. Drop a ball on a stretched out piece of fabric the bending and eventual pull of other objects will happen at about the speed of sound through that material.
Whats funny is if the sun imploded you would never know (except for the loss of light of course) because you would be the same distance from the center of mass with the same total mass.
But as other guy said, yea gravity propagates at the speed of light. We can test this (with precise instruments) because you can measure the pull of the moon easily. If gravity propagated instantly the moon would be pulling from an angle that would be 1.28 seconds ahead of where the moon appeared to be.
The point of all this is NOT to sell Macs. The point is to get websites to design their sites to be Safari compatible, so that the iPhone works better. The point as well is to give companies the ability to build a webapp that works on Macs, Windows, and iPhone. This will help sell the iPhone to cooperations looking for the next blackberry replacement. Its an obvious move really.
Thing is linksys is using custom hardware. This guy is probably using commodity hardware, so what he is selling is his software, bundled with hardware. If people could buy the WRT54G routers as commodity hardware they would.
Yes, and no. For high-end graphics intensive games, hardware optimizations are a must. Add that to the fact that PowerPC was falling behind in the Mhz and bus speed wars it really became a pain to develop Mac games that ran on anything but the best Macs out there and those were owned by so few people it was hardly worth it.
But thats the thing, now that Apple is on Intel game developers don't need to do nearly the amount of work that they had to do for PowerPC based games. Its going to have the same underlying processor and graphics cards, just a slightly different API, like OpenGL versus DirectX. Not a huge conversion. Just wish Apple would go with OpenGL so developing for Linux as well would be a non issue.
From what I understand there are two Christian viewpoints of the flood.
1) The earth was much much drier at the surface before the flood, once the flood happened we then started to have the weather patterns and oceans we have today. 2) The flood waters are believed to have come from two sources, either 1) An ice comet or 2) Deep within the earth.
Not saying I believe this, just reiterating what I have heard.
Most companies swore off Netscape 6-8 which caused horrible problems. Unless their jumping from Netscape 4 to Netscape 9 I doubt the company line of "Netscape is the way to go" still exist.
On the topic of why they are still releasing it, personally I think its just about portal integration now. There are still many Netscape ISP users, and some Netscape portal users. This browser if perfect for those folks. Otherwise, its pretty pointless.
Actually deregulation of the airlines has helped, the big airlines have crumbled because they can't compete with the smaller more nimble airlines. This is the way it should be.
Fiber is still pointless. What he really needs are Tubes!
No really, you want to install tubes in your walls (often called smurf tubes) and put your cat5 or whatever inside the tubes. If in the future you want fiber, or whatever the future finds you just push new cables down these tubes.
But see what Freenet didn't get was that you have to become widely popular first, then you can become a tool for the revolution. Otherwise your just a tool.:)
I don't really think many are surprised that the TV station was shutdown and people generally understand that the same thing would happen in just about any other country if that station was supporting violent revolution (I don't know if they were mind you..)
What we all think is cool is that they are now up on YouTube. If CNN got shutdown for encouraging violent revolution I would think it was AWESOME if they found their way onto the internet even if I didn't personally support their viewpoint. (Disclaimer: I actually kinda like our government, but love free speech as well ).
Actually just the opposite. Plenty of firms have been selling these devices to engineers for several years. But the average public never sees them. MS wants to get these out so that the average person is using them, then in a couple years when prices drop these average people will buy them for their homes. A few hundred or sales versus a few million.
Problem is, for the first few people seeing a new Capatcha the computer will have to let you through even if you guess wrong, so the lock feature of the Capatcha doesn't work.
As others mentioned this system gives you a known then an unknown, though I think its stupid that it further makes it difficult by putting a slash through it and making it wavey. Helloo, if you system had a hard time recognizing it why do you want to make it harder to recognize. I saw several in the examples in which the word was nonenglish and I had a hard time guessing the correct spelling because I couldn't make out a letter. There needs to be a I don't know button as well:)
Interesting idea, unfortunately here in the US the government won't pay for a K-12 school that even has a hint if Christianity, strangely though they have no problem with paying for Christian colleges though..
Gotta wonder though, on the crusades bit who is right? I'm assuming the Muslim teachings is that the Crusades were much worse than the rest of us say it was. Maybe they were right? So why should we be insisting that they learn about the Holocaust when we don't want to learn about the Crusades?
Slashdot Mirror
Adding insult? Oh come on. If this school had just gone to waste that would be an insult. It will probably be a good school in the long run.
As is modifying adult porn to make it look like child porn.
Pretty sure old men in diapers is legal.. Gross, but legal..
Oh GREAT!. He has been working on copyright for the last 10 years and look where we are now!!
Please Lessig, go work for umm Disney, we don't need that kinda help..
JK all the love for Lessig... Reallly.

Well, they are the same story, proving which one came first is near impossible though.
From what I understand there are two Christian viewpoints of the flood.

2) The flood waters are believed to have come from two sources, either 1) An ice comet or 2) Deep within the earth.

You do realize its still and LCD screen. Just LEDs powering the backlight?
Actually deregulation of the airlines has helped, the big airlines have crumbled because they can't compete with the smaller more nimble airlines. This is the way it should be.
Air travel isn't a natural monopoly though.

I said once prices dropped. I wouldn't be surprised to see multitouch screens in 5 years at the same price as lcd screens are now.
Actually just the opposite. Plenty of firms have been selling these devices to engineers for several years. But the average public never sees them.

I'd imagine any buisness would have an IPv6 address AND an IPv4 address, atleast untill the IPv4 address was dragged away from their cold dead hands.
