Does this mean that the space between protons and neutrons is growing too, but the laws that govern? If so, wouldn't this imply that at some instant point in time you would reach an equilibrium where the weak nucular foce is just at the ende of how far apart they are from each other, and you can cause fission and fusion to happen at will, or something like that, and create a perpetual motion machine of some sort?
Frustrated trying to get one piece of code to talk to tanother piece, I eventually wrote a middleware app I named the "ensmartenator" for the intended purpose of "ensmartenting" the two pieces' communication api's so that they could understand each other... It was supposed to be a stopgap solution until we could get somone to rewrite the communication APIs... that was about five years ago. The ensmartenator is still it's exceptionally cromulent job to this day.
NOT that we should look elsewhere so we can continue to be wasteful.
You misunderstand exactly how big the universe is.... All of humanity can engage in strip mining the nearby planets and asteroids for hundreds of millions of years before you'll beging to see even the slightest impact... and that is just our solar system. It would take trillions apon trillions apon trillions apon trillions of years to even have the tinyest impact to our galaxy alone... and there millions more galaxies out there...
When are the MPAA and the RIAA going to realize that while they may be losing money, is isn't close to that magnitude?...
It's amazing how the game isn't "How much money are we losing," but rather "How much money would we have lost in this incredibly unrealistic circumstance?"
Oh, I'm pretty sure that they know that already.. my question is:
When are the MPAA and the RIAA going to figure out that they are "losing" money by not having the governments of the world mandate that thier citizens buy thier product? I'm serious, after all, the logic is the same. By not forcing every American to buy at least 10 albums a year, the RIAA "loses" $50 BILLION a year! And that is America alone. Can you believe that? That is a travesty! By not having every nation on earth mandate that every man woman and child buy at leat three albums a year, they are "losing" $360 BILLION and that's EVERY SINGLE YEAR! Add piracy on top of that and we are at $363 billion. Wow, that is almost as much as the defense budget for the entire US.
Easy, just download winzip and make a self extracting executable.. and inside of that self extracting executable... put the self extracting executable! Run.
Only one step away from inverting this technology and having "hit" songs autogenerated on the fly. Imagine it! Hearing a new and unique, totally cool pop song every time you press the "new song" button on your "song player" machine...
Finally that last pesky seal to the gates of hell can be breached.
http://www.isonews.com/top2.gif looks an aweful lot like something that would automatically fall under copyright by it's designer... I wonder who made it? IF it isn't the owner of the site who plea bargined, there may be a copyrite infringement case against the DoJ!
Of course, my other half tells me, for the same reasons, let it alone, in space, quietly, where its home is.
Do both! Build a "space museum" around it that is traveling at the same speed and people can come and visit and watch it just hang there in the middle of the moving museum.
You don't even have to create a song. Anything I write is immediately copyrighted under US law. You can write just about anything - code, poems, a novel, etc. - leak it to a P2P and then hack away.
How about this: Send an email to the host you wish to attack with a header that states that if they save it to disk, they are in violation of the liscense. Once the receive it, assuming they use a typical mailserver, they now in violation and feel free to attck!
1. 1 song @ $0.70 x 1 download = $0.70 2. 1 album @ $7.00 x 1 download = $7.00 3. 499,999 copies of each downloaded from Gnutella/Limewire/etc. = priceless.
So, what you're saying is that, worst case scenario, the STILL make more money than if they went with a big label?
So, hey, anally raping your boss after he/she fires you will give you 5 years, maybe as much as 7.. Wiping out thier servers (which can be replaced with backups in an hour) will give you 10 or more.
Think about it for a second, which one of those would really be more fulfilling to you, the disgruntled employee? Yeah, that's what I thought... See the system works!
PLEASE don't tell the the truth... the more people think that I'm capable of breaking into top secret databases, alter credit cars statements, revoke driver's licenses, reroute spy satelites to take ultra high-res pictures or Natalie Portman sunbathing, etc. all from a public phone booth with a paperclip, the more likely I'll be able to look cool and suave to the ladies... Don't blow my cover man!
I don't know how others feel about this, but I for one am GLAD they finally put a cap on Martian Ice... Too much of it would cause all sorts of iceo-economic fluctuations that we just can't deal with right now.
This, my friends, is what makes like worth living... I have just made a set of 26 "songs" that I have labeled A through Z... Now, When I see a link that contains letters, I fully suspect that it is being linked to stolen copies of my songs... I especially suspect this on personals and dating sites. Name and address please!
Construct Money? No, just construct anything you ever need. Want a new DVD player? Food, nike shoes, columbian coffee? Just make your own. Why need money?
How about one step forward and think about when all money in any form dissapears... When our first nano-appembles appear capable of creating exact duplicates of things, atom by atom, then we have a whole new bag of cats to deal with... How far away are those machines? How far away was the TV from the radio; the space shuttle from the first airplane? 25 years may bring a new world to us all.
It works for phones, because phones cost money, especially if you are from overseas... Email costs nothing, so having a big long list of VALID email addresses is just asking to be abused by off-shore spammers.

One BFG to rule them all...
As a followup, I wonder if we can finally settle which religion is the one true faith and whether or not abortion should be legal.

When can we expect to see the $5 knock-off CDs of the source hawked on Hong Kong street corners?

The immense benefit that this technology will have will be in fields like evolutionary computation.
Are you trying to say that DNA could be of some practical use in genetic algorithms? That's pretty hard to swallow.
Not just that, but they go from "have created" to "proof of concept" in the blink of an eye.
Well, technically not in the "blink" of an eye... the proof of concept is just in the eyelash.

I believe the LA Times MAY have some of my own personal copyrighted information on it... If only this bill had passed I could break in and find out...
Problem is, the math will more likely look like:
1. 1 song @ $0.70 x 1 download = $0.70
2. 1 album @ $7.00 x 1 download = $7.00
3. 499,999 copies of each downloaded from Gnutella/Limewire/etc. = priceless.

because its (a) two years old and (b) just another gas-sucking penis-replacement.
Dude.. I dunno.. I don't think that car is fitting in my girlfriend.
yeah, true... but in reality, for most slashdotters, it works fine as a replacement... it can be "waxed" all day long...
