Well, i would be more worried about that if it comes from a country where death penalty is still on use, that have deportation treaties with most countries (and if that fails, have no problem in taking other approachs), and that consider big crimes things that in other cultures could be something accepted or normal. And im not talking about Pakistan exactly.
Unless we are talking about microscopic black holes (lhc could be useful there) the typical scale of the maybe only useful for this black holes could imply throwing in things of the size of big suns or small galaxies. Probably by the time we could do that we already know what happens inside black holes (almighty usually implies allknowing too),
If the source is available it is for the good and the bad guys. It the source isnt available and is protected by licenses, patents and so on, debugging, analyzing, reverse engineering,getting in black market portions and so on is not available for the good guys... but still is for the bad ones.
That could make the problem far worse... could be a lot of exploits to vulnerabilities that could not be announced nor reported as doing so would put in legal troubles.
And the desktop is a big trouble. I think it was desktop what was used in Google intrusion, same for this bank intrusion. The biggest vulnerabilty of any system is the people that works on it.
All your genes are belong to us.
Wonder how much billons the people with that gene have to pay to the company that have the patent... they are making a lot of copies of them every day, since they born, and a lot more if they have children.
They are titanic. When they are present you dont want to tell them that they smell, that would be racist, or humanist, or something similar, And you definately dont want to play, swim, or specially sink with them.
What craziest fears? Will be more light in the night, not less, and fear usually comes from darkness. Of course, people could fear that that light will activate werewolves every night instead of every 28 days, and vampires and zombies... well, will be unrelated.
What other fears concided in history with supernovas? People that will claim to be son of god or the end of the world?
Probably the best indication that they are serious about it is that they won't use a specific (or to be more clear, single) distribution. Maybe for non techies they could standarize a bit, or even give a few choices, but for most will be a matter of choice.
As i said, kept evolving. Now the evaluation on in how many planets could evolve life now must take in account to be in a solar system with a configuration similar to our one (with gas giants making less extreme the orbits of planets). Is not the equation by itself, but how should be calculated one of the input numbers.
And, btw, the equation is giving around 2 as result by now, dont treat it as there must be plenty of intelligent life sarching for us in our local vincinity.
Touchscreens is good for children, at least this is targetted at them, And keyboards and touchscreens in traditional notebook schemes adds fragility to it if you have to continually push the screen. Foldable keyboards, netvertibles and similar schemes enables you to have touchscreen having the keyboard available but not forced to stay in the middle.
Anyway, they add cost, moving parts, and complexity. If doing right the keyboards put costs too high maybe would be better to not add them at all, leaving open the possibility of using external ones.
give it enough time, and will became self-aware. And then we will realize that the very equation for finding intelligent life in the universe is the intelligent life that we were searching for.

What if that BP truck driver went into coma and went into a sleeping killing rampage that lasted a month? The original explosion could have been an accident, if well could fall into company responsibility, it could be seen as accident. But the unsucessful "solutions" till this one, and the damage that happened and will still happen for weeks or months because no appropiate measures taken aren't accidents, are company decisions, and definately responsibility too.
Not sure how well some the visuals of the novel will translate to the movie, fear the same kind of visual effects that they use to represent the "virtual" world that plagued movies since Tron and maybe earlier. If i have to choose a sci-fi movie for translating the visuals to movie, probably would pick Hyperion (at least the "virtual" experience is pictured in the same way in the novel, and the Shrike should put any movie monster from Alien to date into shame) and maybe in a second place Ender's Game (children in no gravity fight? have a lot of potential for good and evil)
For Copernicus make no difference. For people that don't follow their faith, makes very little (recognizing that they were wrong from an organization that have the "Truth" handled to them personally by god himself, is somewhat good) For Church, and people that believes what they teach, moved someone that didnt deserve from Hell to Heaven.
Is more a tablet or a cellphone than a netbook, but the N900 runs it, and is ARM based. And probably will be a Meego version for it too soon. Anyway, the N900 have twice that RAM, completes to 1gb counting the swap, and several times that flash on storage, you could feel a bit stretched with it.
There are also several mini linux distributions specially targetted to low ram/hardware (i.e. damn small linux), but not sure if there are ARM ports of them.
Maybe some of the players (Google, DPL, etc) with a basic enough patent (something that everyone or every major player break) could bring some kind of halt to the civilized world unless this kind of patents get revoked. Imagine that Google have a patent on, don't know, moving a pointer, using html to display dynamic data or something as basic, and terminates the right of facebook, the US government, and/or Microsoft products, to touch web, and that, starting tomorrow (so not time to adapt), something that shows in practice how much damage could do the existence of this kind of patents to everyone.
The API predicts that will be an empty niche/opportunity in a day, then everyone that uses it jump there, so the prediction fails because becomes overcrowded. Is very easy to turn predictions for everyone to predictions for none if all try to take advantage of that knowledge.
Markets seems to don't to like to be regulated, as with latest Germany measures. Next days we will see how they will take this regulation, if well won't happen in a 5-min period probably at the end of the day will get the kind of hit they want to prevent.

Where some see a problem, other see an opportunity. Seems that the market niche for black hole haute couture has just opened.

Named after a curious side effect after a while running it, they had to choose between that name and FriedMobo.

I can see it. A top spy infiltrates a government, and steal his most precious secret: "Windows have bugs" The world is in danger after that.
