  1. Boring: Not in violation of locality. on German Scientists Successfully Teleport Classical Information (upi.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    From the press release: "With this form of teleportation, we can, however, not bridge any given distance," admits Szameit. "On the contrary, classic teleportation only works locally." http://www.uni-jena.de/en/Rese...

  2. Depends on the device on How Does Flash Media Fail? · · Score: 1

    The filesystem relies on the device sector writes to be atomic, which generally is not the case for flash media. Therefore consistency cannot be guaranteed for ANY filesystem.

  3. Cash movements on The Euro · · Score: 1

    Since each country participating in the common currency is producing its own set of coins (front sides are identical all over Europe but back sides show national images different for each country) it will be very interesting to view the cash streams.

    When will the first coin with an Austrian, French or Italian backside show up in my purse? - Will the money eventually get mixed totally or will there always be more German coins in Germany than other countries'? (due to ongoing supply of new coins by the national central banks) - Anyone has a guess?

  4. MOD HIM UP INSIGHTFUL on Gonzo Marketing: Winning Through Worst Practices · · Score: 1

    This is sad, but it is true.

  5. Property needs Responsibility on Brazil Breaks Patent to Make AIDS Drug · · Score: 1


    The social concept of property is based on the fact that the community as a whole profits from it. At least that was the idea, at first. Then came modern times and big companies.

    Society still grants companies (and also single rich persons) protection of their property. To justify this grant, which is not a natural right, although many seem to think of it in this way, the companies must give something back to society in return. They have to act responsibly and with a view on the benefit of society.

    If they don't, society has no reason at all to continue that grant. Brazil has realized that and they are doing the only reasonable thing: revoking that grant.
