Chief Judge Rubén Castillo of the United States District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, stated that elements introduced in Holmes stories published after 1923 — such as the fact that Watson played rugby for Blackheath, or had a second wife — remain under copyright in the United States.
I'm pretty sure Sherlock Holmes is gay. I was on tumblr the other day...
Who the fuck wants this? Sure, Windows sucks but why would cramming a shitty OEM version of Android make things better?
If you build it, they will come. Massive numbers of machines running it on high-end hardware means better games and apps. This is the kind of competition that terrifies Microsoft, which is exactly why they built the X-Box originally -- when set top boxes combining games and surfing looked like the wave of the future.
I don't know, but the latest tumblr app update now downloads inline gifs automatically raher than just a preview you have to click on.
So that will add needlessly, you can't even disable that "feature" (which also would be nice because fast scrolling chokes it and the app resets itself all the time now. POS-class atm.)
The City of Detroit is currently going bankrupt -- a lot of good "the legal power to tax" is doing as a solid collateral for the creditors who will be getting pennies on the dollar.
It's rolling over in the US right now. With each election the past 2 or 3 cycles, people are voting to legalize gay marriage in various states. Not because a judge decided so (which can't happen without the bulk of the population thinking that way anyway) but because of popular vote.
Only one nation has even managed to put a man on the MOON (orbiting THIS planet) and that nation is not now even capable of putting a CHIMP into orbit (something it COULD do 50 years ago).
Notice all the noise politicians are starting to make about regulating and "permitting" mining and settling of the moon, Mars, asteroids, though.
Collapse all economic dynamism, but god damned, we're level 95 and counting on our ability to pontificate and lord over the population.
As Shakespeare might say:
Permitting and permitting and permitting Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Freedom's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And now is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing.
Design a product, gentlemen. Stop throwing wrappers around stuff. It's called usability testing. Better yet, take the design out of the hands of coders. A handful might be capable of the vision necessary to prognosticate actual usage and fix things in the way people actually use things. Probably not you. In fact, from decision theory, I will just use the rule assuming 100% of the time you can't do this. I will be right 99% of the time, an excellent success rate.
Also, what's up with the god damned overlay navigation "bars" that many mobile sites use? My screen space is already freaking limited and you wanna take up 20% of it with a god damned bar with a home button on it? At least let me turn the fucking thing off! See the book above, gentlemen.
If an average vacuum tube lasted 6 months, the whole thing broke down every 5 minutes. Prior to transistors this was the terror of engineers.
Also, I always wanted a computer like they had in certain scenes of Lost in Space. Later I learned that was just a reel-to-reel tape device peripheral.
"Michael Morell, the former acting director of the CIA and a member of President Obama's task force on surveillance, said... thata controversial telephone data-collection program conducted by the National Security Agency should be expanded to include emails . He also said the program, far from being unnecessary, could prevent the next 9/11.
"This is an emergency. Give us extraordinary powers -- the tools of tyrrany, but we won't ever use them that way. We promise!"
Nevermind this is how democracies of the past have failed.
We want autonomous. colonies, and then small nation-states, on the moon.
Central planners, please jump into Christmas tree grinders in January as they swing by. Wildcat development has done nothing but bring freedom and development to humanity on unheard-of scale.
It has forces whose effects are spherical? Just no body (e.g. smaller particles tied together). They keep slamming electrons together with ever greater energy and only see electrical force curve deflection but never collision deflection. So they are either hideously tiny or a point.
If a point, are they in some way the same class of thing as quarks?
One wonders if the Green Californian followed all inspection requirements and other government mandates so thoroughly entertained in polite dinner conversation.. For example, did the union electricion he would obviously only hire get the necessary permits?
Phone companies benefit from theft by now selling two contracts, not one, with the unlucky consumer (usually) eating the cost of supplying a phone to a "friend".
So instead of a kill switch, which government can abuse, how about fining phone companies who sign up stolen phones for participating in a stolen goods laundering racket?
Agree with him or not, he addressed issues line by line. You just mocked him rather than responding, then puked a number of similar lines of irrelevancies.
I dub thee chimpanzee-level Great Thinker. And not Zira or Cornelious. Get your hands off him, you damned dirty ape.
The data could be in there, and people are getting better and better at complex signal waveform analysis. Every month now we're seeing a new story about someone doing something along these lines with audio or radio or light.
I am convinced this is just the beginning. In a few years I expect to see a cell phone app that turns it into the audio quasi-radar in aliens.
"Tech publications and pundits alike have crowed about the benefits we're soon to collectively reap from healthcare analytics. In theory,sensors attached to our bodies (and appliances such as the fridge) will send a stream of health-related data — everything from calorie and footstep counts to blood pressure and sleep activity — to the cloud, which will analyze it for insight; doctors and other healthcare professionals will use that data to tailor treatments or advise changes in behavior and diet"
OMG how cutely clueless. Doctors today recommend behavior and diet changes and nobody listens already.
By the way, some of these historical democracies that failed -- pre-WWII Germany and various in ancient Greece, why did they fail? Granting "temporary" emergency powers for existential crises.

It does serve a purpose in the long run, just as the Vatican's pardon of Galileo not so long ago did, too.
It teaches future leaders to be a little more careful in what they do in the name of preserving their power.

It's just another variation of this problem.

Perfectly round. Isn't that the definition of super symmetry?
Depends. Is the inside the same as the outside?
