Ya, I think the biggest problem is that the researchers are still in the "look, we can interface!" stage of development.. next comes the "yes, but how good can we make it?" stage, this is the stage that cochlear implants is up to.. until DNI gets to that we'll continue to see "move the cursor" bullshit.
Umm.. by "here" do you mean New Jersey? Cause that's the only place in the US that doesn't consider champertous contracts illegal (Bigelow v. Old Dominion Copper Mining & Smelting Co.)
The new word, Belgium, for example, wouldn't be intrinsically offensive.
hehe.. ya know, in France, Belgium is a perfectly good swear word. No patriotic french man wants to think about Belgium so you yell it at him is an affront.
Imagine a world in which your DVD rip was uniquely tagged - and every download of the movie points back to you as the primary source.
Why not just imagine magic while you're at it. It simply would not be possible to create a watermark system that:
1) was open enough to be admissible in a court of law (remember, I want source code to that breathalyzer? 10x it) 2) was obscure enough to be uncrackable
not to mention the fact that the whole concept of mass production goes out the window once you start demanding individual identifiers on every item.
Yeah.. it's pretty easy, you default to "Adults Only" mode, but you provide a "Clean Feed" mode which people can opt-in to. All your effort goes into bringing the "Clean Feed" up to date and, as such, even the kids won't want to use it, so one day you take a look at the numbers and say "why are we putting so much effort into this 1% of the market?" and get rid of it.
Because of the electrical conductivity of salt water, submarines are shielded from most electromagnetic communications.
Very low frequency signals can penetrate about 20 meters.
Extremely low frequency signals can be received from deeper but are extremely limited in bandwidth.. and you need to use the whole earth as an antenna, etc.
That reminds me of a lecturer I had who did his own TAing. He was like "you are not required to attend this class.. you are not required to attend the tutorial sessions.. however, here is a graph of the students who passed last semester and their recorded attendance. As you can see, those who didn't attend consistently did worse than those who did.. if you want to pass this course, will attend both the lectures and the tutorial sessions." Guess what we were studying.
That was one of the key strengths of ssh.. it was basically a fancy version of rsh and rcp with a bunch of legacy cruft kicked to the curb and a few things "done right" that had always been wrong. This is the strategy that subversion has taken to replace CVS.
Ummm.. no.. the irony is that the attack ssh was designed to combat was already out of vogue by the time OpenSSH became available.. and yet people still picked it up.
Speaking of false sense of security, it took a long time for people to come to grips with the fact that just because you're using ssh doesn't mean you're invulnerable. The vast majority of admins continue to believe that their password cannot be sniffed by an attacker on the same host as them, because they think in terms of packet sniffing, not pty sniffing.
Though fetal stem cells (taken from aborted fetuses) may be useful for research,
Haha.. you fell into the Conservative lies.
It's called embryonic stem cell technology because the stem cells come from embryos. We're talking no more than 50-150 cell bundles here. But some people believe that "life starts at conception" and, to them, that means any fertilized ovum should be carried to term. They encourage people to adopt frozen embryos and call the babies that result "snowflake children". Of course, the vast majority of frozen embryos are not adopted (and it would be completely impractical to do so anyway) so they are destroyed.

It's hardly "non-invasive".. they have to open your skull to implant it.

The whole point is that this is illegal in most everywhere in the world.
Your understanding of copyright law could benefit from a good RTFA.

There's slightly more to it than that:

Men had balls in the 60s.
Yeah.. that's the point though.. people jumped at the use of ssh but continued to use pop3 for YEARS. It was entirely a feel good exercise.
Oh yeah.. that was dumb of me. AU$200 is about US$162.22 .. and the Sony PRS-505 is about AU$500 in Australia :)
The fact that they don't work outside the US and Canada is probably a bigger problem.
But yes, if they were $200 and worked here (Australia) I'd probably buy one.
Even though that's like my yearly book budget.
Yeah, if you can't even be bothered to watch one presentation, I really don't think you've got a right to review it.
What? Cause you saw it on the History Channel?
It has killed CVS.. not that this was hard.
Actually I think it was a voluntary survey.. so there's a little margin of error in that.

A researcher on a panel discussion part of the NYC PD Unity Day events guessed less than 10 years.
They said that 10 years ago. The MJF Foundation will apparently close down in another 10 years time if a cure is not found.
The technical term is somatic cell nuclear transfer. (Don't worry, it has nothing to do with plutonium.)
Ha! That's gold. I've never seen a more subtle way to tell someone that you think they're a moron.

That's the problem with absolute concepts like "evil". While you consider data mining to be evil, clearly they don't.
