Considering that the 1st models are about to go to the market (HTC Dream?) out of time is a pretty good explanation.
The good news is that all of this seems to be about software, not hardware. You buy an android phone now, and your phone could have full bluetooth support and gtalk when they release it.
So your proposal is everyone pay just to stop worrying about RIAA? The analogy with mafia will be complete then, you pay them for "protection"... from themselves.
Ok, lets give up this one on RIAA, then who comes next? movies? books? news? Lets everyone pay them to just avoid us to be sued.
There are some problems that this approach dont work. Music isnt just local to one country, even in the same country not all people that make music are protected by them, And probably the biggest piece of the cake wont go to musicians.
And there are music that you hear but dont particulary love. I think that there is a potential for voluntary payment and profitabily here (taking into account internet population), even if no enforcements attached to access all. But whatever scheme they use to split profits need to be transparent and fair regarding people intention when they pay.
The XO was meant for educating childs (developing countries or not). A game that makes them understand physics, thru a game, goes to the core of the mission of those machines.
Spreadsheets (childs 1st need to learn how to do and understand math) or file managers (the interface somewhat hides that is a filesystem below) dont look as compatible with those goals.
You can write a number that is bigger than the amount of elemental particles in the universe. That number is "theoretical" too, as cant be the count of anything physical. Still, is common place in a lot of areas to use infinite (probably bigger than that number) for practical things.
This whole thing remembers me Q proposing to redefine some universal constants to solve a problem in ST:TNG, and that idea was actually used in a particular way to solve it, go in that direction if you want to find something really crazy.
In fact, my 1st reading of the headline went in that direction. If we have a star "here", whatever is here in our 4 particular dimensions, will be something related to it in the other dimensions?
In fact, it managed to get so different that got titled Clone Wars.Now you know why the president is so different in real life from what you see in TV.
Weather seem to have free will, if we just limit our "predictions" to very local influences, but if you take in account everything (even a butterfly moving in the other side of the world) could be deterministic. Of course, taking that much factors into account is not practical.
The same could happen with humans (something that happened as child could determine a future choice) and subatomic particles (with spooky action, even something happening in the other side of the universe could have influence here, at the same moment)
The good thing on using a centralized service like spamhaus is that your ISP or whoever owns that IP range can report that it isnt used for dynamic addresses anymore, and suddently all places using that service will accept again your mails. And at least some mailservers could report why are rejecting your mail.
Is not perfect, but goes to the heart of the biggest source of spam today.
Greylisting have one main vulnerability. What if the software used to send the spam handles that temporary rejections and retries with the same ip, same from, same to? It dont targets spam per se, just targets badly behaved mail senders.
In fact, the srizbi botnet (that used to generate more spam that all the other botnets together few months/weeks ago) handle those rejects, retries and end sending the spam.
Maybe the "missing spam" problem is that greylisting was in use since long ago (but srizbi was making spam going thru) and happened something with this particular botnet, i.e. now it just focus in georgia, or the main controller got sick or arrested, and this particular source of spam dropped (and greylisting kept stopping the "normal" stupid enough spam).
A good way to complement spam source filtering thru greylisting is to block home/dynamic IPs, ranges where mail servers arent supposed to be, but where are the majority of personal pcs (that gets owned by botnets). Spamhaus PBL i.e. have this particular target (or zen that combines this one with other known sources of spam)
There are metrics that can be applicable to the wiki itself, but probably for what they want to know what they have to measure is the community, the people that will feed it, not the tool. Is like measuring the quality of a book by the quality of the paper or ink that was used on it.
You can use page size, amounts of edits, amount of pages, etc, but that will not imply that things are right or wrong. Sometimes a single word in the right context could say all you need. I remember that a page on wikipedia had a lot of edits (in the date of birth of someone?) because that info wasnt known for sure. A page that had a single author once is better or worse than one that had a hundred? All depends, but more important, is not there where is the answer they want.
What will be hot regarding linux by then? - Usability: will be one of main objectives for developing things for it, including new widely available devices like multitouch screens. - Mobility: cheap and powerful for today standards cellphones based on linux (Android, LiMo, whatever) probably will be the most used. Not sure if will be market for tablets/subnotebooks/etc or cellphones will take that role, in any case, probably linux will be the most used core OS for those devices. - Embeddable: It happens now, it will happen far more then. Internet will be the main reason for this. - Security, linux will be more attacked, specially in preinstalled computers, cellphones and devices.
You mean the google version of out of beta or the microsoft's one?
For being beta it added several stories to the main (in production?) slashdot site in the past months. This will mean that it will really add a lot (daily) from now on?
One of the things i hated about Sherlock Holmes novels were their "deductions" based on small hints. From a scratched clock he deducted (turned up that "correctly", oh, author power) all a family story, while could have been a lot of ways to get the same result.
With emails could be the same. Being into the highly creative and imaginative sector of the population that uses his name as base for the email address, cant stop thinking in names that could lead to wrong conclusions with this methodology (or at least, where you dont know if the address is because matches name or some weird personality).
And the same could apply to other ways to choose email addresses. But i agree that for some this kind of study can be a mostly safe bet
"The Earth is, more or less, a disc", is quoted James McIntyre in TFA. Obviously, BBC asked in a Discworld fan convention, and started this big buzz about people still believing in flat earth. I bet Terry Pratchett itself was the one that called them with the story.
is a better analogy. You know that there are places where you step on and go boom (or get a big lawsuit after finishing and doing something successful, whichever is worse), and there is places where knowing that takes far more work than actually doing something. You not only are forbidding (or putting serious barriers at least) the use of certain resources, you are forbidding the use of most, having an owner or not.
So they claim that the RBN was doing russian government will? That is (government's) organized crime, Discworld version.
Is not the same to have a group of people that believing government sponsorized news decide by their own to cyber-attack a country, to being hired by or belong to the government to do that.
The story isn't about the illegal(? what makes a war legal?) war (that would be another another article, here under politics or in other site), is about Google News misplacing it in the same way that was Cuil misplacing images to search results (thing that had some comments about in google's blog). The funny tag is just about it, the misplacing of the image, not about the war.
Next stop, complaining about the funny tag on Darwin Awards stories.
I agree that shrinks are needed regarding army in iraq/afganistan, but they must focus where the real problem is, in the other end of the chain of command.

Is for childs, still forming basic concepts. Probably newton's gravity in a game will be better than einstein's one at this level.

It isnt BSOD but BSOS, Blue Screen Of Sleeping, see? the computer its still breathing, or maybe that was the fan.

Do Android Dream of Internet Searchs? Better guess.
Considering that comes from all those corporations, I would be scared of hidden directives if the phone's code name is R. Obocop.

if they are so easy to break, then the threat is the security people that choose it for so critical places.

In fact, do 2 things:
- Print "I am rich"
- Mean "I am dumb"
Thats one thing too much compared with what most apps do.
