I dont understand why this comment has been modded down. Moderation is not about agreeing with soemones statements, it is about qualifying them in the context of the article. The view that Google should have asked permission is justified. The view that Google should be able to use the style of the artist freely is also justified.
Both type of comments deserve positive moderation!!!!
Well i agree with you as i'm not saying we should make the internet or whatever country (i'm Dutch) in a state of total control. I only disagree with the stated assumption the internet reduces child and woman abuse by satisfying extremophiles with existing material. I'm all for an approach in which current legal possibilities are used, which is a very good option. For example, my country has at this very moment two police officers for hunting down child pornography, nationwide, which is an absolute disgrace and total joke. They should put dozens on it, which are also technically educated enough to understand the possibilities of the internet.
What if we're actually stopping would-be child molesters through the availability of Internet porn? So what happens to these people if that supply is shut off?
It has been proven by research users of child porn need increasingly more graphic and younger children to become 'satisfied'. I therefor believe that the internet is not holding back those users of child pornography but it stimulates them. Also, for most child pornography exhanges you need something to change. This also stimulates the creation of there own material.
I'm all for internet rights but child porn is something terrible and the internet definitely made things LOT worse.
They probably won't check every single line of source code But when something goes wrong, they are at least able to find the cause, whether it is a software bug or an intentional software instruction
I don't think Googles future lies in AI. They make money by building a huge worldwide database of online user profiles which can be used for selling advertisements. How to gather all this necessary information? By providing free useful tools everybody wants, like searching the web or books, maps, email, etcetera. By the way I heard Google will launch a free web statistics tool quite soon, which would be a logical step in their goal to aquire as much information for profiles as possible.
Any person with some knwoledge of international relationships knows the Chinese don't want to step on other nations feet.... yet. In fifty years, when their economic and military buildup is completed, yes, maybe. Now? Unlikely.
The difference is that the more you keep spending, the more violent the crash will be. So while I definitely wouldn't like to see the JWST cut because of this I think you really need to change your spending habits.
but in light of recent problems plaguing the shuttle program, the safety of the astronauts should be the foremost consideration.
It seems to me this is the cause of the current problems with the US spaceprogram, not the solution. I think the astronauts are perfectly capable to understand the inherent risks of spaceflight and to decide whether to go or stay on the ground. Moreover, they could decide to use Russian spacecraft to keep the ISS running its scientific thingy but national pride seems to have won over logic again.
Business Leader of the Year: Anne Lauvergeon We have no particular problem with any of the five candidates, nor do we have a strong preference for someone. The recommendation above was made by a random generator.
Well, this is exactly the way not to go. Instead of giving an advice people have to judge for themselves and that regarding the patents issue the candidates are equal they take a random recommendation!
And ofcourse voting should have been possible with categories unselected, it is really a major error on behalve of the builder.
As the voting form requires to vote for all categories it is not a good thing to do this if you have no clue who all these people are. Even I, as a overaddict news consuming European, have no clue what to choose for most of the categories because here in Europe news sources are mostly nation minded and therefore very fragmented.
Using 'FUD' regarding to this topic is quite a load of BS Microsoft is a commercial enterprise, ofcourse they will try to earn as much money as they can, and if hosting is one of the ways to go, why not? It makes sense.
People here are so blinded by hate they forget it's a company, not just a NGO or research institute.
So unless the rest of the world does not have the power to actually invade the United States the discussion is meaningless and you don't want to listen to other peoples arguments?
I think this is a perfect example of the root of the whole discussion
Is there a single country in this world stupid enough to launch a torpedo attack against an American navy ship? I mean, you guys spend half the world military budget already, why on Earth would you need this? I believe the last naval battle is quite some time ago, is this technology really useful? How can the marines in Iraq, Afghanistan and you local NY subway benefit from this?
The Federal Disaster Area declaration is nearly as large as the United Kingdom. How would you go about getting everything to everyone in a few days?
Well, afaik from the news the real disaster area (New Orleans) where people were really at risk in the days after Katrina is not that big. Maybe the hurricane affected an area comparable to the UK, the zone which needed the real effort is maybe a few square miles? (my best guess)
Hey, I agree they need housing, support, etc, and I've no opposition to everyone doing what they can. But it sounds to me that the current plan of action is based more on looking good than doing good. Large population migrations of this kind impact everything from culture through to the economy. You can't just throw tens of thousands of people around the country and hope for the best.
Rant rant rant, but what is your alternative for those refugees? Doing nothin'? This is a frickin disaster area, everything but saving lives is secondary.
Also, comparing your fellow countrymen/refugees with the situation in Germany, which was utterly, completely different as it is also in the Middle East, is simply crazy.
Please surf to their contact page, fill in your details, question them and let them know what you thoughts are about this move. Especially when you have a more important position regarding to their product: make this clear.
I cannot understand their move at all but before I'm moving all databases of my business and my customers to Postgress I would like to see this thing reconsidered by MySQL.
You are denying the fact that the US government tried to put him out of office though supporting a coup a while back ago? And denying the fact that the policy towards Venezuala and Chavez is very hostile in general? It creates an atmosphere where Robertson is tempted to say public what undoubtly a lot of the right wing politicians think or talk in private. This is not about flaming about America, it is about the sheer hypocrisy ans sick minds of some politicians.

I also had a power point presentation with the results downloaded from their website but i cannot find it at this moment. I add this later.

Not enough oxygen?

But really, this is a very logical step from Google.
Comparing Akamai with Hotmail is a nogo, think of handling spam for example.
Cheap MS bashing, don't reward it.
