  1. Re:Water sublimating on Water Ice On Mars · · Score: 4, Informative

    Doesn't really need to be under low air pressure, if ice is in the presence of low vapor-pressure it will sublimate (see icecube tray in your freezer).

    The footage they use from the official congress cameras isn't covered, but some of their own footage is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cspan#C-SPAN_and_Copyright

  3. Re:But wait... on Digital Models Not Subject To Copyright · · Score: 1

    Do you have a cite for that art photo claim? I ask because, for instance, filmed coverage of congress from unmanned cameras by CSPAN gets full copyright protection even though it is similar in circumstances to the artbook photography you mention.

    Wow, I remember a post from you on the article about MySpace being acquired for 1 Billion. You said Murdoch was insane, MySpace didn't have a business mode, and we were back in the Dot Com 1.0 times. A few months later MySpace signed a 1 Billion dollar Ad deal with Google.

    >It always amuses me that the slashdot crowd will defend some technology (e.g. vulnerability detection software, p2p, etc) and claim that the individual is responsible for the use, but then say things like what you've said.

    Are you advocating that individuals ought to be able to own atom bombs? After all, maybe they just want to pretend to ride them in their garage.

    I reccommend the "Compact Menu" extension.

    Business users still require VGA for presentations on old projectors. DVI can do both, but it requires an adaptor or special cord, and is more expensive.

  9. Re:Bookmark sharing without using third party serv on Google Browser Sync To Be Discontinued · · Score: 1

    If you read the Google Browser Sync docs, you would see that that is exactly the case; you put a password on the data, it was encrypted and sent to Google, and Google had no way to decrypt it (unless you chose a short or predictable password).

    using magnets to levitate the wheel, you can make it essentially as easy as it is in plain outerspace (so long as there is no atmosphere).

    As a Canadian, I don't think you could even begin to know. I invite you to come down to South Carolina and see it for yourself. We do things like redistrict black people so that their votes don't even count.

    >When did scholarship money become about what a person looks like rather than their drive, ambition and abilities anyways??!

    Sure, you are outraged by this, but yet you don't speak out on such things as alumni preference (at many schools it is officially part of the weighting that if your parents went to school there, you get a better chance). This has been directly shown to cause a sort of affirmative action for white people; but of course you wouldn't care about that; it isn't convenient for your argument.

    Very convenient to get rid of the subsidies *now* when *you* can afford it, after a huge subsidy from DARPA created the thing, but before the poor are wired up. Yeah "get rid of the subsidies" now that others might be getting a chance.
