PETA has come out in favor of this research and said it is a great thing. They're interested in the animals and suffering, not muscle tissue in the abstract.
Whitney had no talent other than her voice. She was a performer. What she wasn't was a music writer and publisher. Thus, the bulk of the money didn't go to her. Ticket sales, yes. Music sales -- radio play, album sales, etc. -- no.
She was deep in debt and living on loans from the music label. The people who will make the money were the writers/publishers of the songs Whitney performed.
For example "I Will Always Love You" was written and published by Dolly Parton. *SHE* stands to make a bunch more $$ from this, but Whitney's estate will still have to pay off the debts with the little that is due her from increased sales.
Things like t-shirts, posters, memorabilia, etc. will go to the estate directly but they still have the debt to pay off before the kids get it.
The attack was directed against the web sites, not the trading machines. The original "notice" is here: http://pastebin.com/it77tAvs
This was a small bot net DDoS attack. Whether or not this could have been dealt with more efficiently by better routers/firewalls or HA configs, I don't know.
IMHO this is some script-kiddie types who are in it for the lulz. What it demonstrates is even the room-temperature IQ types can get a hold of some fairly potent DDoS tools. So, serious attention needs to be paid to upgrading their infrastructure and IT security in general.
It is a good time to be in the IT Security field, if you're looking for work.
Because once the cost is driven down so much by the commoditization of the hardware that it becomes ubiquitous, they will not stop at looking for marijuana crops.
The argument is called a slippery slope and perfectly valid. For popular media references see everything from The Simpsons to the Clint Eastwood classic Magnum Force.
The distinction isn't manned or unmanned surveillance, it is the frequency and pervasiveness.
[Note: The Magnum Force reference is to the slippery slope argument in general, not necessarily total surveillance in specific.]
VASTLY better than every other damn story featuring a video of Timothy Lord shilling something.

The U.S. national average income tax rate is nowhere near 30%. That is essentially the top bracket. (10, 15, 15, 25, 33). The average income tax rate in the United States is 15%.
Is Bennett Haselton is he a student at ASU, a parent paying for a student at ASU or a Citizen of Arizona?
If not then he has no dog in the fight and thus no right to expect this to be high on his radar. Not every little thing is, nor should be, national news.
How can we "respond faster"? Simple. Pay attention to what is going on around you, instead of looking all over the Internet and back for something to be outraged about.
Get involved in local issues, learn your neighbor's names and just in general stop thinking your opinion is so damned important that you need to express it to people on the other side of the country.
In short, mind your own damned business and quit being a busybody.
Quoting user shirro from the Raspberry Pi comments:
Quartz crystals provide a clock signal that regulates all the other components. They utilize the mechanical resonance of the crystal to produce a stable electrical oscillator. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator
Digital circuits such as microprocessors have delays in processing and moving data about and a clock is required to regulate the system so that data is not read before it is available. Different parts move at different speeds and the master clock is divided down to appropriate rates for each component of the system.
The truth is finally coming out. Willard Mitt Romney is really just another alias for R. Daneel Olivaw. Just like on Trantor, some are finally beginning to suspect.
That isn't going to be as much a mass and leverage issue as it is a strength issue. And a toughness of skin issue, as you focus all that weight on a very narrow area where your fingers wrap around the edge of the car bumper.
Uh, an Ice Age would not kill off the entire world's population. Ice Ages don't exactly cover the tropics and sub-tropics in snow. You're confusing the Snowball Earth hypothesis with an average Ice Age.
Yes, but here they're showing that the membrane allows WATER through but will stop HELIUM. If I'm not mistaken, helium molecules are smallerthan water molecules. That's the freakish quality.
I run OpenELEC, which is a very stripped version of XBMC based off of Linux.
Hulu (mostly) works for me. Every once in a while something will pop up and say there is an error with a stream, but not very often. It also works on Amazon Prime for me.
I don't have Netflix, but I'm assuming unless Netflix decides to release a generic Linux client the answer is "no".
Because the storage devices are centralized, at least in my case with a media server in the basement.
The TVs and sound systems in each bedroom are NOT thousands of dollars. You can get 40" 1080p systems for around $300 now. Cheaper if you can deal with 720p.
Now, for under $50 (includes case, power supply, etc.) I can pop a box on the back of the TV to access everything I have centrally stored (400+ movies, 200+ TV episodes, 100+ short animations, 1,000+ music/audio) in each room. And if their Hulu and Amazon Prime plug-ins for XMBC work as well, get all that.
art: US? Seriously? Have you ever BEEN to Europe? transport: US? Seriously? Where do you live that has better transit systems than most of (modern) Europe? punishment: US? Is that YOU getting punished or your desire for strict punishment on OTHERS? The latter -- US, the former, Europe.
When Exxon posted those profit numbers people were screaming for a windfall profits tax. Where are those people now? Probably listening to their iPod, tuned out to the world.
I've heard of it, but it isn't recognized in all jurisdictions. And many people end up charged with false imprisonment if they try that. You have to actually have directly witnessed a crime and no other legal authority, like the police, is available.

After watching my grandmother, who was introduced to a computer in her 80s, struggle and never really understand 2-button mice, I was converted.
There are very real use cases for 1-button mice.

where's azimov when you need him.
The same place he's been since April 1992, dust in the wind. After his death his body was cremated and his ashes were not interred.

Economics is not science, it is the equivalent of voodoo. A bunch of superstitious beliefs built around rituals of illusion, deception and desire.
Feel free to try and identify a control group for economics, if you can.

In the gaming universe this is known as an "aim bot", and is routinely derided as a hack for no-skill n00bs.
It should be popular.
Please cite references if I'm wrong, but I believe any of the actual lawsuits brought were for UPLOADING or SHARING music via P2P and not DOWNLOADING.
The music industry seems to have been very careful in splitting that hair.
Again, I haven't made a comprehensive study of the issue.

Nope, which is why I didn't mention things like Personal Freedom, etc. I pointed out exactly the 3 I thought outrageous.
