Made me remember a joke in an old Lucky Luke comic. A circus goes to town. Then a drunk goes to the bar and say something like "You wont believe this Outside saw an elephant, and this one is gray!"
If in that campus everyday something weird happens you end not giving them attention. The normal could end being the new weird.
p2p will be a problem, even if what is being transfered is legal. What if i.e. a linux distribution includes a package with demo video of something... that linux distribution will be forbidden to be transfered using bittorrent or required a bunch of permissions for that?
Same with videochat, i.e. skype, googletalk and others.
Wonder if the selling of webcams will have some kind of requirement, like signing something. Because with this you will not be able to turn them on without getting a permission.
Even focusing in detecting the pornographic, that is heavily dependant on context, specially when you try to say much in few words, Even if a image worth 1000 words you can still misunderstand it (as this soldier found)
Unless are women, the people working at your service provider (and all the layers between you and your target site) are in fact man in the middle. That they decide to "attack" by their own choice or i.e. government order is up to them, but is up to you being aware of that and take measures to minimize risks.
Unless we are talking about facebook, of course, there lack of privacy don't seem to be a big priority.
Replacement/bigger ISS or a couple of space elevators could be easier to be built up there if the materials are already available.and is somewhat cheap to get them there.
Firewalls and VPNs stop direct remote access from unauthorized parties. But "commodity PCs" could have rogue programs that enable thru it access to unauthorized people. Computer connected, any password typed captured, and most usual security is defeated.
To make the move to this new filesystem, they hired Ted T'so (actual maintainer of ext4). Hans wasn't available for the moment, and would be bad to have a famous employee that, well, did evil.
Data integrity (and replication) is managed in a layer over the fs, so the journaling could be an unneeded hit to the performance. Probably thats why they didnt upgraded to ext3 a long while ago.
While i dont see China doing that, if you can destroy your enemy or expend a lot of money or expend a lot of money AND lives/material/image/whatever, the cheapest way seems to be to just throw away money. Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.
The "capitalistic" way on which US fought China is selling them debt in big numbers. So now each US citizen owes China thousands of dollars.That kind of attack is like hitting their fists with your face till their bleed. In the "free market" approach they already are the winners, and for a wide margin.
Of course, US can declare that they won't pay that debt, because in China don't respect human rights, opening the door to every country that had any trouble with what was done in Guantanamo, or that don't have death sentences, to deny any debt thay could have with US companies/government aducing that in US they don't respect human rights neither.
What relationship have censorship with trying to attack Google or some activists accounts? They don't want to leave China, but specifically ends censorship, and that related not just with trying to hack accounts, but specifically get IP from google (private sources stolen?).
Could be related on how that censorship is implemented? If China govrnment had privileged access to Google network or some machines inside to implement that censorship, and those machines "misbehaved" (maybe not point a direct finger to how and when, but at least to say that odds were pretty high), that could have triggered that, hacking or not of activists accounts. Maybe they could trade to do a "dumber" way of filtering, a compromise between filtering something at least, and don't letting chance to China to infiltrate their network.
What if other peopler choices aren't? Or that all "reasonable" alternatives that they could take because of your actions are equaly bad?
You could consider that there isnt any evil in joyful pushing someone, but the situation (i.e. being him in the border of a precipice) could make that evil (even if your intention wasnt doing evil).
I really doubt that google action will start WWIII, but considering how otherwise trivial events started big wars in the past could be still time to worry about semantics.
In the end, good and evil are subjective terms, both for the one that act in that moment, and for the ones that look back at it seeing consequences, specially the ones that don't use Hanlon's razor.
Building and repairing too. And well, there are those that enjoy the taste of some food. Anyway, having an extra source of energy won't hurt, you dont always need to be building and repairing, or at least could do it in a less urgent way than for getting the energy needed to live.
What defines that a satellite is "enemy"? Launched by a now-enemy state used for anything, like controlling the gps network, monitor climate or tv transmission? Or something passive like watching over your territory and transmits to your enemy sensible information? Or something more active like... mmm destroying your satelites and not sure if can be done anything else aggresive at this moment.
Don't worth to worry about the 1st kind (unless you are the aggressor), the 3rd kind is, for now, just you, and the 2nd one, well, there are plenty of probably neutral satellites looking down to all world (probably most sensible areas can be spotted by google earth, no need to launch your own satellites because of that) to worry in particular your enemiy ones. Looks like this kind of satellites announces that you are ready to take the aggresive role, dont look so particulary useful for defense.
That means that of all the patentable things (invention, processes, even software) done in the world that ever want to be able to be comercialized in US, only half were done in the rest of the world?
Think in Nexus One with multitouch only in the european models, or al the diplomacy behind US trying to push their patents in all the world (having or not something similar being patented there previously). That facing that all the world want to patent in US too is just reasonable, what is not is that only count as much as what only US patents.
Anyway, counting the culture of "defensive" patent filings of IBM, Microsoft and others is not surprising thet distribution.
"Grittier and darker" Disney's Spiderman 4? If they have the chance to do a reboot, they will change subtle things on it, like Peter Parker bitten by a radioactive mouse instead of scary and not child safe spiders.
And in each episode a new layer of "I know kung fu" to the Nth level?
BTW, i like better the use of "humans as batteries" in Hyperion: using the human brain as CPUs while connected. Imagination isnt bad anyway. Or take advantage of a mystical "intuition" that enables to get right answers from insufficient data that most humans could had in the serie, as in Foundation's Edge.
Matrix is perfect for a continuation, putting all the "real world" experience being another layer of Matrix itself, as the characters never left it. There are story around it (start/end) that still can be told, taking away Neo as someone so central, or doing the Dune/Ender approach for them (as in a new and improved main character appearing somehow). But won't be a reboot.

There is no cure for the virus you could get going with MS to bed. And is definately worse than AIDS, you could end being zombie.
... oh, wait, is about Microsoft we are talking about?

To mate, must make happy one of the opposite sex. Now, the requirements for men are far more complex than for women.

The rest of the world must follow our rules. But we could not.

Being the starter of WWIII is being good? Being good or evil is something that time decides.

... or I will, with you.
There, the full Google motto, disclosed at last.

Ask Lisa Simpson or Eric Cartman. And don't argue that they are cartoons, are fiction just like Spiderman or even Bond.
