You telling your computer to fetch the data you have no license to and make a copy of it (in memory or on permanent storage) is a copyright violation.
Like it or not.
Wait, are you telling me that the way my DVD buffers in vram before being displayed is illegal? Because it's technically copied into vram before being displayed...
Asimov already solved this problem for us.... the Three Laws of Robotics.
Talk about redundancy, is the author's next piece going to be about changing the value of pi?
The article actually says Many discussions start with three famous laws from Isaac Asimov before discussing a big part of their ideas. So, no. It's not redundant, it's developing the idea further.
To put it bluntly, raise your hand if YOU want to be the first car manufacturer to make a car for which you are potentially liable in *every single accident that car ever gets into*, from the day it's sold until the day it's scrapped. Any takers?
... no one. But you'll get plenty who charge mandatory tune-ups to ensure compliance. The question will be "which company DOESN'T charge a fee for a mandatory yearly check-up"?
A lot of "enthusiast PCs" are owned by gamers. I do all of my "real" computing on Linux, but keep a Windows partition around solely for games, which I can't just recompile to ARM binaries.
If I'm not mistaken, valve is moving towards linux... and while I won't claim it's the year of the linux desktop (or laptop, ultrabook or tablet-convertable), it does seem that it may be moving in that direction. I mean, the windows RT tablet is running on an arm cpu, too.
Maybe this is just because we use the same neural mechanisms we think with to phrase scientific theories and build models of networks? Just a thought.
If you look at enough phenomena, and generalize the description adequately, you'll find equivalences in a variety of strange places. The XKCD strip from friday is a good example. Also, If I see a picture of Jesus in my toast, can I get funding for a study? Seems to be the same "phenomena" at work.
Yes, it will reduce the number of accidental, serious information breaches. It will also reduce the amount of co-worker spam (I call that bologna, since it's not quite spam).
But sometimes, the awkward and accidental reply-all is the only source of amusement in an otherwise uneventful day at the office.
Since it works on artillery shells too, the other place it would work real well is: Seoul.
But then we couldn't call it the Iron Yamaka...
... and calling it the Iron Gat just isn't as cool.
It makes me think of gatling guns... the most famous of which is a Tommy Gun... and I'm pretty sure that's NOT the appropriate short-form name for someone of Korean descent. And it was a terrible movie.
or are 3-4 recruiters all going after the same job??
It's a stereotype: Just like used-car salesmen, the majority of recruiters are helpful, knowledgeable and genuinely want to help.
Even though most people in IT are friendly, knowledgeable, social and shower every day, there is a terrible, persistent stereotype that persists because everyone has a bad experience at one point with a used-car saleperson, recruiter or slovenly IT worker. The people who perpetuate those stereotypes are frequently bad at their job, to boot.
I have another term or two for your "sensibles". We refer to them as "Democrats" and occasionally republicans.
Fixed that for you... because running as an independent in a two-party system is somehow considered sensible. Yes, it gets a message out. No, it doesn't make change. It hardly pressures change on the two parties on a national level.
Norfolk State: "The policy broadly prohibits using any university internet technology resources "to further personal views" or "religious or political causes."
It also prohibits downloading or transmitting "inappropriate messages or images," without defining "inappropriate."
Unfortunately, most universities don't have an explicit policy in place. If you're an undergraduate, rather than tell you they don't want opposing viewpoints, they'll just graduate you quickly with average marks. But if you're a graduate student? Your advisory commity will they'll revoke your funding (after the first year), your review committee will slow-walk your research, your lab-coordinator will have difficulty finding you space to work and - if you're lucky - you'll be forced to write massive changes into your thesis before you graduate. If you're not lucky? That's 3-5 years of study with no degree.
Graduate studies costs 4-5x more than undergrad studies, and carry a stigma of "Well, you couldn't cut it there, why would we accept you here?".
He even labelled his comments as "sarcasm" and said he would like to be proven wrong. He was rather transparent about it. That's why the context surrounding it must also be considered, otherwise you really would just think he's engaging in mindless partisanism.
No, it wasn't. That comment was a part of a secret conspiracy designed to both undermine the fundamental freedom of the states and the integrity of the union. By defending it, you're obviously part of the conspiracy. See? It's NOT a conspiracy when it's true. (It's getting so bad, I'm even smack about myself).
It seems the mitt-romney about-face attitude is changing the party from the inside - the GOP worrying about hampering scientific inquiry, [and] penalizing journalism. Next, you'll be telling me that they're also promoting women's rights and education.
Also, I would love for my sarcastic comments to be proven wrong.
Okay, I'll give credit to the EFF for promoting these principles for the last 22 years, and Socrates for proposing the concept of the freedom to share ideas.
To be honest, I think theyr'e both just posers that stole ideas from others, but I don't know THEIR names.
Florida, eh? I've got two questions for the alligator.
First, is it legal to work in the state. Second, does it fit any of our affirmative action categories. I know it isn't easy being green... but it feels wrong to hire an alligator when we can get a much more ambitious and qualified crocodile.
What's the Cyberespionage alternative for using a window as a mirror to observe the target? What's the counterpart of sitting on a park bench with a newspaper with a hole in it? Cyber Grouch Marx mask anyone?

OH NOES, imma terrorist now for using cyber-espionage tools! Even though I didn't use it for cyber-espionage, the tool could be used to destabilize a government.
Just so you know, I'm a huge fan of Simmons and was wearing leg-warmers while I wrote that summary. When I first started submitting stories to Slashdot, I was over 1000lbs. Then I found Richard, an industrial sized box of Ritalin, and whole bunch of 8-Tracks.
I started reading your post, then I continued.
Don't keep me in suspense! I need to know what happened to those 8-tracks you put on ritalin!
So, rather than celebrate the possibility of having transparency for all (it's not government spying when everyone is doing it to the government in return)... Norman Security is reporting on the emergence of script kiddies?
Yes, it's been doing a lovely job of that lately. If I had to guess, the new rules are increasing the skill requirements, and thus decreasing the current supply. So... wages should go up, theoretically.
They have to, in fact - if airlines want to hire pilots, anyways.
Blank pages are the only thing you can do with HTML5 right now in many browsers. Some people, preferring not to wait, have taken the unusual step of working with what's available now.
Well, yeah. Fundamentally, I agree. But if you're waiting for slow, incremental change? The internet isn't really the best place. You're probably better off looking in politics.

Sounds like that'd be the most ethical way to run it.

Why worry? There won't be any ice left in a few years anyways.
Oh wait, it's just the Arctic that's melting, right?. Right? I should read the article.

Dissonance in music is neat - like hemisync brain harmonics "stuff". But if you're not familiar with it, it sounds strange. Read: not news...
