We get 3 or 4 calls a day. I'm sure some have it even worse. Our phone has become almost useless because we only answer numbers that we know. It gets on your nerves. I don't know how you can say it's a simple task to deal with; it's a never ending task.
Ok so the media companies should get 150'000 when one of their songs is "stolen."
more than 2 million people were on Kazaa sharing hundreds of millions of songs
Wow with at least 100 million songs being shared at any time were talkin' $15'000'000'000'000 of stolen property. 15 Trillion... If only the media companies could get their dues then they would have enough money to pay off the American national debt with lots left over.
No good case exists for the inequality of real and intellectual property
How about the fact that physical property is naturally valuable because you cant acquire it by thought. Its not an idea. Its not information. If Mark Halprin wants to play it his way, why dont we see how far he gets when there is no protection at all in place. Piracy is so simple to accomplish in our age. You push the public with stupid crap like owning an idea forever and you will no longer have our support.
The anthrax research is for a vaccine. In order to make a vaccine, you have to make some anthrax. To say the US 'stockpiles bioweapons' in an abuse of both words.
How the hell can you claim to know what your government is doing?
The guests will undergo strict security checks before entering
Let me get this straight, Microsoft will be providing the security for the President of China among others??! Do they have any concept of what a track record is?
Since this is the language understood by those who would oppose the findings in this article it may be appropriate. In the end it is pretty much the same as saying "how the PROCESS of evolution created a new piece of molecular machinery by reusing and modifying existing parts."
"But you know what? That "spirit" is long gone -- it only worked when the Internet was an academic toy."
When you have a bunch of secure boxes, suddenly it becomes a good idea to give every node a unique ip. IPv6 will hit mainstream sometime to allow this, its best to have the freedom to choose.
While there are many things to be worried about like causing diseases to jump species, or pain that may be felt by these creations. We have to keep in mind that science must push forward in order to potentially (inevitably) cure these problems that millions of creatures suffer from right now.
Yes we have to try our best to avoid these potential disasters by proceeding with caution. Isolated chimeras cant have an effect on our environment because they dont touch it, painkillers can be used if they must be kept alive through enduring pain.
The point is that we will have the key to solve the pain, suffering, and death of millions of creatures by experimenting with a few.
As for the question of what if they become too human, all I can say is they would be as unaware as a human infant. If it seems healthy and it could live a good life, maybe it could be kept alive, but that brings us back to the isolation issue. Either way if the subject must be terminated:/ it will just go back to the void without a memory or knowledge of what a great contribution it made to the world.
You can mod that comment funny but, its serious, not surprisingly linux can once again be the tool that saves the day.
Whenever I have to fix someones computer, I dont want to ever see the thing again (unless its one of the workstations I maintain at the office I work). So heres my little trick to keep windows running forever. First, get ready for a dual boot system. Hopefully you have a big hard drive, like 30gb or more. Give windows maybe 16 gigs, linux 20 gigs, and have a partition for user data(eg My Documents) of around 3 gigs. Note: you can make these bigger im just assuming you have a 30gigger. Install the linux distro of your choice and intall windows. Store any service packs or updates, firefox etc. on the linux partition and use explore2fs to grab them from windows. DO NOT let windows touch the internet(or even a private network), as you know this spells death for windows.
Once you have windows how you like it (and dont forget to move my documents to the "Safe" drive, its time to make an image.
go to linux and do something like this: dd if=/dev/hda2 | bzip2 | dd of=/hda2.ddbz2 this assumes windows is on hda2
now just make some simple script or whatever so that when they get into trouble they can boot to linux and run a script containing something like: dd if=/hda2.ddbz2 | bunzip2 | dd of=/dev/hda2
I do something like this at the office network I run, except instead of storing it locally the image gets piped over ssh to or from the server.
This invention has the potential to change society !!! Numbers AND letters on the same button, arranged to resemble a telephone dial pad. You would at first think this is insanely stupid and doomed to failure. I mean cmon, numbers and letters on the same button?!?! Needless to say an invention of this calibre should be immediately reported around the globe.

Nice tag guys: thatswhatyagetforalltheleadpaint. *Someone* is a little bitter over recent Chinese cyber attacks, not naming countries or anything.

Microsoft should have to equally devide whatever is left from the fund amongst everyone who applied for their share.
Can I get even one piece of useful information pertaining to the actual performance of this thing?

Happy slaving,
I wasn't even going to check out the link till he mentioned something about stress testing the server.. that was a bad move on his part.

I just wouldnt want to be in the croud as that thing gets flipped over.
I feel like ive just been lead through a series of useless advertisements.
For those of you who never felt like disgracing your computer with a .mov player (quicktime), get the windows movie here.
