Authors certainly have control. That it is more profitable for them to participate in the publishing industry is part of the context that I was talking about. If they weren't comfortable with it, they would either release their works in some other way, or not publish them at all.
That copyright law is less than ideal doesn't really enter into the authors ability to choose, it simply has a significant impact on it; disrespecting a creators choice is not going to help chang their mind.
Most stations are going to switch their digital transmission to their old analog frequencies, so don't give up hope yet. Also, I'm not sure, but I think most of the pre-transition digital transmitters are at lower power than they will be once the transition is complete.
Unchanged bytes might be slightly more common than changed bytes, but deleting a single byte might require the file to be rewritten. The 'only 0's get flipped' case is not worth giving special consideration.
I'm all for blind users having something that works well, but aside from doing business with a hypothetical a single company that is head and shoulders above the rest in addressing that market, I don't see what my needs and choices have to do with it.
I'm talking about gaming it. Download two albums, and then repackage them together and seed that. The entirety of that upload is ratio positive, and you have to seed 100% of it (and probably more).
"Perhaps it is time to turn the tables and put those who would restrain the free flow of all media and information in prisons."
By definition, asserting copyright restrains some media or information.
I should have been clearer: other's copyrighted works. Certainly, do what you like with works that are public domain.
(For me, the biggest issue with (especially newer!) copyrighted works is that they are released/published in the context of copyright, so it is presumptuous to assume that the author would have released it otherwise; it is likely so, but it is a big assumption)
B: Really, that apple is absorbing and reflecting light in such a way that the frequencies of the radiation bouncing off of the apple and striking your retina are causing you to perceive that the apple is red.
B: Hey, where did you go?
People use language with varying degrees of precision. Try to learn to deal with it.
There is already support for using multiple trackers for a single torrent. The issue is that the rest of the bittorrent ecosystem may not be able to cope with the load that pirate bay is currently supporting.
I guess it is an open question as to whether the resources devoted to bittorrent could support more traffic, but saying 'it should be better' isn't really a good way to demonstrate that it can be better.
Really? The biggest thing keeping me from moving from AVG8 to something else is my cynical belief that something else will suck just as much.
Going without is also tempting, but a long road (enumeration will never catch everything, but it greatly reduces the odds of a given exe succeeding in doing something nasty).
That xkcd doesn't have all that much to do with privacy, it is about security.
Really, encryption is a great way to increase privacy, as there aren't a lot of people that are going to beat you with a wrench to find out what kind of sex you like to have, or to steal your credit card info (because there are easier, cheaper ways). But if you lose your laptop (theft, stupid, etc.), your info stays private.
It's like most other security, the costs need to be weighed against the benefits (most people lock their homes, but not with locks that will stop a sledge (and they have unbarred windows)).
The military is all about electric drivetrains. Stuff isn't necessarily deployed, but they burn a lot of diesel and carry around generators, so they are very interested in things that save diesel or put a generator in every truck.

Several gemstones are composed of mostly aluminum oxide (The names come from the impurities/color). The general name for them is corundum:

You do realize that there is software in the hardware that is lying to the software at higher layers, right?
Even spinning disks present a virtual interface to the hardware.

Why the vitriol?

If police are stretched, so to will be jails. Bullets are cheap though.
The good news is that "oil is cheap" is one of the biggest problems with solar.
I thought most software was written as work for hire...
How are you going to pay the actress, the one that is key to it working?
Kindle actually brings a big chunk of the rest of it.

Maybe you tar on teh wrong thread:

You just need to find a buddy and give each other tug jobs (i.e., seed torrents back and forth).
Any traffic from other clients will drive you over 1.
Basically, if you seed stuff that you didn't first download, you will win, and the more attractive the content the better.

That's reportedly undetected.
The question is, how good is the U.S. military at managing information?
The answer is a tough one, but it seems that some parts of it are extremely good at managing information.

You want to imprison people who create works and fail to repudiate their copyright? Are you twelve? Maybe thirteen?
I'm not sure how wrong freely sharing other people's work is (making money on it to their exclusion is clearly wrong), but it isn't glorious.
You still got robbed, the camera just improved the outcome.
Anyway, the question isn't simply whether the cameras come with benefits (as you say, they do), but whether those benefits outweigh the costs.
The U.S. really only needs to be the most powerful nation inside the U.S. (and I mean capable of asserting power inside the U.S.).
It is nice that we can bluster with China and carry on operations in Afghanistan, but I'm not sure it would be so awful for the U.S. to be weaker.
Gently?
I mean, you are implying that they are defective...

If you think of it as "wasting less energy", you might be a little closer to what the gp is talking about.
It's neat, but it can't actually power the car, it just reduces the energy dumped (per mile) to the environment.
That's usually called driving.
Really, it sounds like you are looking forward to putting your brain in a vat of goo. Have fun.
