I googled it before my post. My point was though, that a good summary would have included at least a sentence about what it is. It just makes a better quality summary. I guess this thinking isn't shared by the majority of Slashdot, seeing as I was perceived as a -1 Troll! I would have gladly accepted, and maybe even aggreed somewhat with "off topic".
That's great. Next time, tell us briefly in the summary what it is and why we should care. Honestly not trying to Troll. It would be nice to know if clicking through and reading more would be a waste of my time or not, though.
No. Because it's not the fraud that saves those rare fish. It's a side affect of the fraud. Wrong is still wrong. Once you bring the virtue of side effects into the discussion, you distract from the point. If your point is to save those rarer fist, find a way to do it directly, instead of placing it at the end of a Rube Goldberg device.
Good SEO often comes at the expense of good content. I don't think this latest development is absolutest. In the end, they want to improve their search results. This is just one piece in that.. among countless other factors.
I don't think that has anything to do with this story. The article says nothing about taxing at the ISP level. It's a legitimate concern, but not what we're talking about here. Cut with the FUD.
Contrary to what many individuals think, not everybody with a Masters in Computer Science got their bachelors in the same field. Why don't you go for a Graduate degree in CS? You'll have to take a lot of catch up courses to meet certain prerequisites. You claim to be interested in "hard science". CS is much more than learning Technology. I know many people who learned to program without school. Far fewer go further to study Computational Theory, algorithms, and data structures on their own. So, go ahead. Apply for grad school as a CS student.
Yeah. That crossed my mind. I might be more compelling for gaming, then. I could also envision a room where a bunch of people watch the same movie, each wearing a personal set of glasses with internal screens.
Part of what makes 3d movies look fake is that the viewer cannot focus on anything other than what is "in focus" as per the Director. I imagine it would be possible to use this technology paired with some sort of eye tracking tech (which also exists). This would move us a step closer toward a more realistic immersion.
1) Automatically via some wireless service. Bad idea. I'd hate to even go there. 2) In authorized service centers. This is scary because, the auto manufacturer will be able to warn us from going to non-authorized dealers, saying it's a security issue on top of a quality issue. We've already ran into these kinds of issues. It's come up before here on Slashdot.
That's what they're claiming. Just because it's not the cause, doesn't mean it's not useful to know. Your theory about insomnia certainly isn't one that the researchers are unaware of. They're collecting data as they should be.
To choose a school based on it? Not going to a University with these restrictions is one way to vote with your dollar. If you don't plan on leaving, warn incoming students about these policies. Perhaps encourage them to ask about internet restrictions in their interviews. If it's a deciding factor in student enrollment numbers, they'd think hard about it.
Further, you can petition and urge students to speak out against it. Taking action is an option.
Ownership and proof of ownership are two separate things. You don't need a receipt to own something.
I agree that "giving" an mp3 in a material sense is sort of silly. Digital media is a new thing. So far, we've been arguing over which old metaphor it most closely resembles and basing our rules around that.
What you're missing here is that to "sell" the MP3, it is necessary that you give the MP3 to the other party. This is a "move" not a "copy", meaning, you must destroy your current copy. Yes, under the "material object" logic, you could "give" it away, as in "sell it for zero", but you give up any rights to it yourself.
With P2P, your copy stays on the machine when another downloads it from you. You now have an illegal copy (assuming you GAVE it to the first downloader).

Sure. If you can manage to lie about your billing address to the site you are downloading from. I'm not sure, but that could be illegal.

Wants me to believe that the story is true as originally aired and that this is some sort of PR clean-up strong-armed by Apple.
If that's not the case, good for NPR for admitting to and taking responsibility for their mistakes.
They should still be able to make their URLs cute.
You're good. Comments mentioning comments that mention moderation are generally safe.
Yeah. That crossed my mind. I might be more compelling for gaming, then. I could also envision a room where a bunch of people watch the same movie, each wearing a personal set of glasses with internal screens.
It isn't different. That's my point. This camera would allow whatever you are looking at to be in focus.

A little smart phone is probably worse than a little alcohol.
Maybe a heap of smart phone is still worse than a heap of alcohol.
I doubt that a whole whopping bunch of smart phone is proportionately worse than a whole whopping bunch of alcohol.
Though, I could be wrong.
Is how these updates will be applied:
1) Automatically via some wireless service. Bad idea. I'd hate to even go there.
2) In authorized service centers. This is scary because, the auto manufacturer will be able to warn us from going to non-authorized dealers, saying it's a security issue on top of a quality issue. We've already ran into these kinds of issues. It's come up before here on Slashdot.
I would retitle this submission "One in twenty chance of naturally-caused
economic stimulus by 2020".
It looks like they had many of the practical uses spot on. These two statements, however turned out quite wrong.
1) This may look like something out of the 25th century...
2) It all adds up to more time to enjoy live, and more life to enjoy.
Correllation == Association though.

Who influential stands to make a profit from this? Not Bill Gates. So who are you talking about?
Among other things, a software tester's job CONSTITUTES the software development process. I think you mean "consist of"?
Then Bad Joke, too.
>..The guy that spends a week finding a five year old memory bug, that no one has every been able to find is now ineffective,
If I spent a week doing that, there'd probably be hell to pay. Point taken, though.
