"Remember, when the facts don't match your theory, too bad for the facts."
Our phlogiston-powered probe will find out how those dark matter hairs interact with the luminiferous aether through which our solar system is passing.
But so long as modern Scandinavia forsakes its Viking roots and is saddled with a legal system that metes out six months of community service for genocide, people like Kivimaki will keep getting away with whatever they want.
No, we have to retort him at the stake, so that he and the stake will be converted into biochar for the Organic Food Co-op. The volatile gases given off will be sequestered in an approved seabed carbon sink.
The Russian violation was technical, according tothis morning's maps: in a flight across northern Syria, the SU-24 crossed a narrow finger of Turkish land sticking out of its southern border. The shootdown was over Syria, the crash was in Syria, and the crew were killed by Syrians after ejecting.
It is said that a wealthy shipowner had the Mechanism built as a navigational aid but the captain of his flagship, incensed at the slow operation of Debian on it, hurled it into the Aegean.
"A church that spent 500 years burning alive anyone who practiced science and singlehandedly held back humanity's progress for 5 centuries.
Flog Torquemada and the Dark Ages Vatican all you want to, but it eventually learned to live as part of civilization, and practices astronomy today. Imagine if there were a religion that once practiced astronomy, but degenerated over the years to burning people alive today.
Downloadability would be more of a unicorn than generally available ad-supported streaming. I'm not even insisting on DRM-free, because that would be relevant only for downloadable content. I just want the long-established ad supported broadcast TV model to be available online, and for my pricey cable subscription be available when I'm away from home.
Yes, Darwin, the open source follower version of Apple's BSD core, is still being maintained in step with each OS X release. Now envision Darwin with an 'official' OSX GUI, such as would be compatible with generic PCs.
Rather than being able to download a streaming file, I would settle for an end to silly restrictions on availability of streamed content. If your streamed TV episodes are ad-supported, we should be able to access them at any time, from anywhere. For streaming content on cable channels, make it mandatory that "Verify your provider" supports ALL cable providers that carry the channel.
What I would rather see is an Apple-branded version of Linux that would function as an "OS X Lite" for generic PCs. It would have a good part of the useful functionality of OS X without cannibalizing Apple sales. For uses, it would be a low-cost way of getting some useful OS X functionality and connectivity with Apple products for networking and lightweight synchronization.
An example of this is the Kindle app, which I'm a heavy user of. I want to see pages left in book, and pages left in chapter. What the app insists on doing is displaying time left in chapter. To do this it has to go through a laborious "Learning your reading speed..." process at the beginning of each chapter, which it has to do all over again after any time when you momentarily suspend the app. A straightforward display of pages left would be easier to implement and a lot more useful.
This would be an ideal test of the idea we keep hearing that bitcoin is traceable through the blockchain. Ransomware as it exists today is already worthy of intense law-enforcement focus because it targets business and government. Having it target medical devices would throw he effort into overdrive,
Manned flights are no more "propaganda" than the settling of the West was. They are just not a high priority for governments. if NASA continues to produce interesting findings with its robotics, the findings will at some point cause the West to be settled.
My point is that fax is a stupid legal requirement to paper over (with curly, fuzzy stock) the legal system's failure to adopt the perfectly good, more-secure-than-handrwriting electronic signature standard that we already have available. Staff know how to use fax because they're forbidden by 'policy' from using anything better.
Electronic record systems that are not compatible is the islands-of-automation problem. As medical groups adopt electronic records, it should be to a common standard.
"No for the majority of people it made no difference at all because at the first error they just jumped online and pirated the content. Serious, I see luddites every month who can't figure out why they can't move their e-book, or song onto their media player"
Luddite is not the right term for these people. They are simply consumers who expect a consistent interface and know that there is no technological problem with implementing the operations they seek. They just resent that lawyers won't let them do it.
Why does our medical system still depend on fax machines? Digital recordkeeping is a much more established technology than robotics or telepresence, and yet we still can't get our medical system to use it globally. We're at the islands-of-automation stage now: large hospitals form systems with local doctors and share information electronically among them, yet when you walk into a new specialist's office, you still see that goddamn wall of paper jackets behind the receptionist's desk that mean you have to fill out another history form that, subject to your possibly incomplete memory, repeats all the information you already have in the hospital's system.
When this mess is cleared up, we will have an indication that the system will not just think of advanced technology as another threat to its existence.

"Keep donating to Greenpeace buddy"
Because we wouldn't want the Middle East to have a world monopoly on crackpot medieval religious movements now, would we?

"The only way to fix this problem is by taxing the products when they enter the country."
Because prescriptions are not expensive enough already.
This device is starting to sound like the old Dean Drive, but with less oiling required.

"Ok, I liked Clock Boy but this is just dumb. And $15 million?"
Imagine how much this kid might be suing for if he had done something original.

That would require getting out of the basement, so not likely to happen.

Could it be a revenge attack by these guys?

Talk about getting ahead of ourselves...
"Because /. is so full of Republicans. So full of Republicans."
Democrats used to do science too, remember. And they can once again.
"The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!"
Actually this is our key advantage.
