Can you imagine Bank of America, Barclays, or BNP Paribas saying "if you don't have an account already you better open one or someone else might do it in your name and build up a financial profile in your name"?
There's an old saying in the business world: Money talks, bullshit walks. Keep your "profile" for what it's worth (nothing), I will keep the cash.
Nah, it's just some stupid little attention whore trying to draw attention to himself by making outrageous claims. And on the internet to boot. Who would have thought.
Like say, flying in an airplane across an ocean will "gain" you more time than you can ever hope to acquire by walking. Not to mention all the time the average human spends driving or being driven at 30-60mph - rendering the use of such a device moot. But still the sedentary frequent flier will not necessarily live longer than the reasonably athletic non flier...
To be honest with an 800kph slap in the face, I doubt your arms and legs would stay on. I've always wondered if you would spin fast enough to come apart. But I guess sticking monkeys in wind tunnels wouldn't get past the ethics committee...
Apparently you are unaware of the current trend of stealing live telephone wires from telephone poles. I assume that this "scavenger" was engaged in the same business, only with underground cables.
If you are the government and can just go in and seize the server and the logs anyway, why do you need the passwords? This law makes no sense, unless they realize that many people use the same password for almost everything and want an easy way to get someone's passwords...
We should test all physicists for drugs when they start talking about new forces or new theories of reality.
I don't think it's drugs so much as a looming expiration date for a project's funding. It's always nice to be able to point to something and say "look at this interesting new particle/force!" right before the plug gets pulled. That could get you another year or two.
Because "order of magnitude" is a term understood by anyone with half a brain and has its own additional implicit meaning - like "you forgot a few zeros, dumbass".
No, it sounds like they are trying to "punish" what they consider to be "bad" behavior. Rewarding good behavior would be giving $50 to people who are not obese or are non smokers. Avoiding a penalty is not a "reward", especially when the penalty is artificial in the form of legislation. Governments have to remember that they only rule with the consent of the people. The current situation in the middle east should be an example to them.
They hardly admitted to the entire extent of the problem either. I, and almost everyone I know, know someone who has at least been touched inappropriately by a priest. I myself have been physically abused by nuns. You never went to Catholic school, huh?
If the Catholic church can get away with an apology for the rape of countless young boys and girls on behalf of its members, then please your Holiness, accept this apology on behalf of the internet for our "satanic" practices.

in theory, this may be true.
Hilarious. You can keep it.
Gee sounds just like the US oh, 100 or so years ago.

Oh wait - Nov 1, 2009? Hang on - could it be that the reason this story is "news" is current oil prices, rather than actual "newsworthiness"?
Hence the need for sophisticated AI.

Why do they call them "scavengers" instead of what they really are - thieves.
No, I think the bigger news is that a nerd actually had sex with a real woman.

But will it be able to predict world cup results?

Yeah but there's this thing called diminishing returns...
The size of say, the spreadsheet program's binary files on both machines and ask yourself exactly how many of those "features" you actually use.
Steam? Attractive prices? You know you can usually download new releases from Amazon for about $5 less than from Steam, right?

Well usually when a crime is committed, criminal charges are brought to bear against the offenders. That would be a start.

It's only a matter of time before the Brits ban paper...
I just couldn't help myself!
