So how could SearchKings publications possibly "manipulate" Google? It's Google that chooses to accept their publications for input in their systems. It's not SearchKing that uploads them or something. Anyway, maybe they're manipulating, it's just what you mean by manipulating, but there's no way that Google voluntarily reading SearchKings publications could be considered a DOS-attack.
Heh. Why is there a comment posted by an anonymous coward scored +5 on the top of this page which says exactly the same stupid thing. Like I said there: Google wins nothing by doing that. Revenge is for those to weak to reason. Like those suicide bombing others because their houses where broken down because some other guy suicide bombed some other guys from the other side because... you see? Revenge is for the stupid.
And what would Google be winning by doing that? Nothing. Revenge is silly; it only makes you look unfriendly. Like palestinians or israeli's for example.
Unfortunately that is not possible if the population keeps growing. And it does and will probably keep doing so since making children is built into our genes, otherwise we'd not be around. There's just not enough water, agricultural ground, energy etc.
My thoughts exactly. But it isn't quite that simple since hunger is mainly caused by [international] politics and war. And those are 2 things that are pretty hard to change.
Right now, probably. But to copy yourself you'll have to wait for extremely fast sub-molecular 3D-scanners and printers:P But they'll require so much processing power that it'll be about just as easy to emulate yourself.
Software and media is easily copied, but did it become free? Could it someday become free? Possibly. We will go through years, of a battle much worse than RIAA could even dream of over rights to copy physical items.
All things you are talking about exist of 2 things: a lot of thinking to design them and the raw materials. The cost for raw materials should be ruled out by automated mines or something and since nobody will have to work sometime in the future, thinking will also become abundant.
Lets say number 1 gets worked out. And everything becomes easy to produce. And you can mine the minerals yourself. Land prices will go through the roof, literly. I don't even want to try and think about how expensive land will be. And of course all the rich will then be buying up all the lands so that they can mine it and sell it back to you, and rent you use of property on the land.
Land prices will go through the roof anyway if the worldpopulation keeps growing. And prices should be something of the past:) Just like this whole capitalistic society and all because in a world where work is no longer required, those that own the natural resources will have the power. And that will escalate the same way we've seen it happen with oil. Someday we'll understand again the utter stupidity of the concept of owning a piece of the earth. What right does anybody have to ask me money for natural resources because they happen to own the ground it came from? The unfairness of the current system (in which property gives you power and money and therefore more property) will become much more clear if labour is no longer required and the whole economy is controlled by property instead of ideals. Just think about it: the whole concept of property is what is holding us back on our way to an automated world anyway. It's called: egoism.
Moderated as funny. But it's not just funny; it's the future. There is no hardware equivalent to GPL software, but this technology will make it happen. Not just now, maybe in 30 years or so, but once decent 3D printers become affordable, the rest is just a matter of time. Free designs will start showing up. This will be a major step on our way to the not-having-to-work-with-our-hands-"utopia" which will now only have 3 things left to complete:
Food. Fully automated production is theoretically possible right now. Preferably in your own backyard, which will become pretty easy if you can print your own farm-robot and run it on GPL-software.
Transport. Fully automated transport is theoretically possible as well and is required for the food-thing and the robot-thing to work.
Robots. We need robots to build houses, fix things and get natural resources from the ground. These will alse become reality within the foreseeable future, the technology exists, it just needs a bit more work.
As you probably understand, in this setup nothing will have to be done by us, people. In theory, that is. But one fact is: important things like a houses, food and transport (not the smallest part of the cost of most other things) will become very very cheap. And after that, I don't know.
So you're complaining on slashdot that you get tired of blogs? Slashdot is just about that and you read that, obviously. I've read many interesting weblogs; I just don't read the bad ones. What you are doing is like searching for my-first-homepage frontpage-creations without any usefull content and then complaining that you get tired of homepages. Check this out. Or do you also question "Everyone Can Ignore Other People's Publications"? An incredible amount of crap can be found in any medium. It's called having a choice.
Could you please post some links for your arguments? The only arguments against the CDK-theory I've found so far are on the same level as yours; incomplete. I'm very willing to believe the oppossite, but so far haven't found any theory that proves CDK wrong with good arguments. How do supernova light curves (what are they?) prove CDK wrong? As far as I know, the calculations were based on statistical evidence which therefore do "ignore" a lot of data but all data points in that direction and most certainly does not prove CDK wrong. How would their calculations lead to earth being something it clearly was not [4K yrs ago]?
Apart from that, the CDK theory potentially solves a lot of problems and mysteries about dark matter and the expansion of the universe.
Before you say it, yes its impossible to accelerate to lightspeed.
Only according to a theory that assumes c is a constant while it is not - it's getting slower al the time. It's called CDK. This may also very well mean the red-shift calculations used to determine the speed at which galaxies move away from us are totally wrong which may therefore mean that the universe is not expanding at all (or at least not that fast) which makes the mass-calculations bullshit as well and may very well mean dark mass does not exist and there's just nothing out there. This is a good read about it: http://www.ldolphin.org/bowden.html
But Linux has one major advantage, specially to the home user; everything is free. mplayer, mozilla, gimp, kino, gnome, kde, koffice, openoffice, xmms. They'll all be on par with MS products pretty soon. And MS products aren't free. Just a bit more games and we'll get there. And the good thing is - with every few new Linux users we'll get a new software developer. Even if it's just someone that reports a bug. Yes, we'll get the desktop pretty soon:)
Which means that the road for buying/selling media over the Internet will from that point be open for everyone. This means e.g. that it becomes a real possibility for artists to sell their own music over the Internet for normal prices. This new sidedoor to the music-market will make prices drop and broaden the available spectrum. Just a possibility:)
It's the uptime of the service they're talking about, not the uptime of the server. Apart from that it's pretty common not to count scheduled downtime.
So what's wrong with building things 99% reliable and just not putting people that don't want to take the risk aboard while spending half the money which now can be spent on the real job: research. Just make it clear that it's only 99% reliable and don't be surprised if things go wrong. There are more than enough people willing to take the risk, otherwise NASA's friends wouldn't be going to Iraq, would they?
Well one of the most important subjects on slashdot is the broader acceptance of open source software. Things have been going pretty fast lately; we have a state-of-the-art office-suite, database-server, browser, movieplayer etc blabla you name it. Many of those things weren't ready for prime time until very recently. Now they're getting there _fast_ so it is to be expected that some of the (now much more frequent) major milestones in the history of broad acceptance of open source get posted on slashdot. Though I agree with you that not every Linux kernel release should be on Slashdot. But this release of Postgresql has some VERY important features which will make it much more interesting to use as a replacement for Oracle or Sybase.
Here in the Netherlands today all gay people are supposed to strike because some Iman said that homosexuality was a contagious disease so now they're all calling in ill to keep their coworkers from getting ill:P So he's probably a homofobe and didn't want to be on strike these days:P...can't find an decent link to the story..
Projects are financed by the state which is financed by it's people. Now some of those people don't believe their money is really spent right with NASA. That might hurt financing in the long run or may already do so; getting people enthousiastic is very important. And to get that done, they first have to believe.

Just look a bit further down. There you'll find nearly exactly the same post somewhere in some thread, only not quite anonymous. But just as stupid:P

6-10 behind bars. $100K fine. For sending some email. What country are you in? China?

Hmm. Good point. But then why did one fail to mention the name of the program in the article? There must be another reason....
So...what's so unfortunate about the name Clit?
Post your own at this page.
