Snowden would be a hero in my mind if he'd stopped at just revealing the illegal spying the NSA was doing on US citizens, but he went farther than that. He revealed a lot of the things the NSA does to spy on foreign powers. That is their job and I expect them to do it, and I do not expect a citizen of the US to reveal our sources and methods of intelligence gathering. I don't think he's an evil person but I do think he went too far.
I can't believe this was modded up. Just because there are plenty of good old titles doesn't mean one shouldn't read new titles. Following your logic nobody should bother writing at all. Let's just give it all up.
No, there were plenty of businesses/corporations in Colonial times. There were not necessarily megacorps like we're starting to see but they existed a plenty.
Literally meaning, I ain't got no money. You may know the concept better as, open source.
Weak troll is weak. People who write OSS are willingly giving the product of their efforts away for free. That's got nothing to do with scofflaws who deliberately steal a service that they are not paying for.
Any bug that allows a remote attacker to compromise a system, be it stealing data or denial of service, is a security vulnerability. All DoS vulnerabilities are security vulnerabilities by definition.
Most likely because the single virus strain in each case was the one that beat the infected person's immune system long enough to take hold. HIV is really not all that easy to transmit. It's just virulent and deadly once it takes hold.
Did you even bother to read what I wrote? I didn't say human contributions had no effect. I merely corrected the false statement that human sources dwarfed natural sources. They do not, and about 5 minutes of research online or in a library would tell you that.
Human sources of CO2 are dwarfed by natural sources, please do your homework before making such claims. The additional CO2 humans are adding to the mix is tiny but could have an impact.
Sadly, many of the things that good managers take care of are caused by bad managers. One of the many reasons there are so few good managers is that they can get fed up with the bullshit, too.
That is the main reason I went back into engineering after over a decade of progressively higher levels of management jobs. I have a ton more fun being responsible just for my own work and not having to deal with the BS.
Actually, the complaint arised when two people who owned already the game found out they couldn't have their Mii characters marry in the game. But let a fact not spoil your rant. Keep up the good work!
It's a game. Games are not real life and don't always have to accommodate every single form of relationship. As far as I know without some modification you can't have same sex marriages in Skyrim either. Get over it.
Nothing is infinite. There could be billions of intelligent species but that's still a finite number, and it the vastness of the observable Universe they could still be scattered so far and wide that we'll never contact or detect them. The simplest answer to the observation of no intelligent communications going on is there is nobody intelligent anywhere near close to us for us to detect their transmissions. It's certainly not that they are all using some magical form of communication that may or may not even be possible.

I was thinking more about the ability to create a variety of food items from raw materials.

Talk about drivel. Your post has it in spades.
Presumably the purees can be stored and used in places like Antarctic bases or even in space. Sounds like a good application to me.
You just described the problem, not the solution or anything resembling reform. You must be a lawyer.
As long as lawyers are the majority of legislators you'll never see real patent *or* torte reform. End of story.
Six figure salary in IT here. Can confirm.

That's fine, all I'm saying is it just encourages them to behave that way again. If people would ignore trolls there would be less trolling.
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
Seriously, do not feed the trolls. You just played right into his/her hands.

Fair enough, I think we're talking semantics here now. All I know is a lot of my clients do, and rightly so, consider DoS to be a security issue.
I couldn't care less if someone is a prick as long as they produce good product.

I didn't complain, I was just pointing out that it's only a game.

It's not his fault...

Sorry but in this case the extraordinary claim that something IS infinite is what requires proof.

I should elaborate. There should be an easy and open mechanism for objections. The process as it stands is broken and very obscure.
Nobody bothers though.
