When i saw it, really tought that was a metajoke, Sometimes you could think that something is objectionable so censoring would be right... but it could take away the good parts too or make everything lose meaning . In fact tought that the show creators missed a great opportunity of making Muhammad to speak and say something that the show characters think its insightful, enlightning, etc, but as got censored none of the spectators (muslims or not) couldnt get.
Some think so. Icelandic volcanoes seem to go through cycles, and a high activity one could be starting. Maybe this volcano alone could not be so bad, but more and for long time could have severe consequences, in economy and maybe global climate.
If you start to put countries laws into game, some interesting things could happen. What about content blocked becuase break some particular country patents/copyright/trademark laws? Would that put pressure in countries to change IP laws?
What about showing nudity? And that, without even touching what one country or another could consider child porn, or forbidden practices by religion and/or law that could look innocent to you, dont know, like pork eating.not using veil or drawing Muhammad.
And what if is law what forbids to publish anything critical to government? Or call some content diffamatory, or hate.
Is easier to point to other country law and call them for change because you think are unfair or ridiculous, but what about the laws you are used to live with?
I would be very afraid that the one that wrote about that brother (in a figurative form) were Daniel Keyes. How much smart/good could get google till falling into dumb/evilness?
Internet is a bit bigger than it was by the time of gif vs png problem, and there werent so much commercial interest around as now big media companies could have over anything related with video in internet.
So basically for getting flying cars we need MrFusion, antigrav technology that could be used from vehicles ranging from big trucks to hoverboards, and last but not least, time machines on DeLoreans already developed in the 80's by crazy scientists. All of that existed, then all that universe got rebooted after someone bumped accidentally against himself, and unfortunatelly this new universe lack the required capabilities.
Anyway, don't lose hope. Maybe there is another kind of backdoor (as the time travel one got closed) that could enable us to travel fast without worrying on flying or antigrav, at least if you aren't troubled on DNA sharing with a fly.
One could do a lot of things at once, but maybe is up to a few to actually solve new problems instead of being just receptor (reading, watching tv, hearing music, probably recognizing patterns in that input) or do a somewhat automated thing (walking, eating, even writting what you are thinking).
Talking with a cellphone while driving could fall into this category, you have one task thinking in what you are talking, and if you try to solve something else you could be out of tasks to solve the problem on how to avoid the next obstacle.
If all internet use h.264 now, will still be using, and in far more ways, in 5. You now can move away with not so big effort, in 5 years will be impossible, and most of the internet content will be tied to the will of a single company wanting that you and everyone else in the planet pays them for every device and app that potentially connects to internet. Support it "by now",and will never be pressure to change till will be too late.
And open source somewhat follows the "shoulders of giants" idea, all have the source, so the experience could be used with another future open source codec if necessary.
As usual, the ones that will be "punished" will be the normal consumers, the ones that actually pays for most or all the media, while the real pirates will not have this at all, or in the case is badly required, in a sandbox at most.
"Innocent till proven guilty" was thing of the past. Now is "Guilty, unless you are really a criminal". And they will punish any stupidity as capital crime, and leave any malice unnoticed.
Somewhat, i want that it gets approved. Is the kind of outrageous attack from above that ends demolishing all the building.
How quake proof are those caves? Because that is the most visible concern about anything this year in particular (even if is within average, it got a lot of visibility)..
A lot of server stuff in linux work so well that you can even forget that it is running at all, for years. Clamav is such kind of software, you install/configure it, set the automatic signature updates, and forget that it is there. But still, some periodic checks in logs that all are working as expected is good, even if is just some artificial ignorance well applied, specially when clamav started warning on this months ago.
A good portion of what i did in rexx was text parsing, and for that if well is easier to read than perl, regex and things like that, is less powerful for that task.
Couldnt them had included a program to detect and clean that rootkit, then proceed to install the patch instead of just refusing?
Anyway, having a rootkit active means being walking over thin ice. You could clean it, but it could be used to install something that gives a more direct access, and the rootkit could not be required anymore to do what they want with your machine. Backup data and reinstall should be the recommended way of acting unless you are capable to detect the other changes.
More spam is a symptom, not the problem itself. The problem is the amount of spambots, all around the web, how many millons of computers are in a botnet or another. If spam by some magic becomes non profitable, still those millons of computers will be around, ready to be used by its owners or whoever hire them to do other kinds of nasty stuff.
In fact, is GOOD that they send spam, as could be used that traffic to identify the hosts and accounts, and do something with them, like ISPs redirecting them in a sandbox where they can't send mail and only see web pages that teach and helps them on how to be clean and keep being to be that way. Internet don't have a driving license, but the bad drivers could be sent to the school till they learn.
You have REXX interpreters for linux, and perl, python, and other interpreted languages for OS/2 (even bash,afaik). Rexx was great, easy to learn and clear to read, as far i remembe, but if you already manage perl it will look very limted.
Still, is amazing the kind of things that one was able to do on it with 8-16Mb of RAM, some of its design (wps,and its integration with hpfs, i.e.) could be something interesting to add to the "gene pool" of open source systems, at least if its released under the right license.
Somewhat, it was, Started with the N900 tablet, and could end with several atom/cellphone tablets running Meego and Android. Who knows, maybe in absolute numbers that bunch adds up close to ipad sales.
...in psychology and sociology courses. If they want to see crazyness and mass hysteria in action, is a perfect real world example. Probably would be useful in advertising related careers too. Why manipulate people when they can perfectly manipulate themselves?
Anyway, i would put it in the same course as religion, probably those kind of "wonders" are the kind of things that started most current religions, attribute what you cant recognize or understand as an act of gods, ghosts or aliens is cultural, next ones could be mutants, murphy fields, time machines or quantum entanglement.
Google must be stopped! Is taking advantage of its monopoly to... to... well, do good. At least from their point of view. Some sites are badly coded, not even try to be optimized, and speeding them up probably won't require a big investment, while will improve the experience for the visitors.
But in the other hand, some sites by goals, general idea, location or popularity end being slow from google's point of view and gets punished, potentially being the authoritative in some topic. Could be mitigated a bit if the "speed" they are measuring is the kind of metric and recommendations that do page speed, yslow and some of their other suggested tools do, that in most part arent about how fast your server side scripts run or how much bandwidth your server have, but usually cheap to follow directives like compressing output, optimizing images or where you include your javascripts/css in the html.
Is illegal to own/access drawings that could be interpreted as minors having sex or just being in part naked, while is perfectly legal and reasonable to own weapons. And the punishment for owning that kind of drawings is probably worse than driving drunk in a populated city or a highway.
Somewhat life don't matter anymore to laws, you, die, and are just a number. Just ideas are the ones that worth to the law, and what they think are bad ideas.

the answer of the old question about what really happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
Is not iPad specific, for me is one of the best applications included with the XO, right in the place that it should be.

Embarrasing? They want quality or pageviews? Because if is that the latter, they got plenty.
Considering that is related to (the size of) Greece and that it could grow more, maybe in the future could be called Gaia?

Open source by itself is not profitable. But services around it surely are.

Satan tought that being evil wasnt bad enough, so hired a lawyer. What brings the Google Paradox: they have lawyers too.
