I guess it might depend where you live, some countries have rulings that say you must be allowed to resell downloaded games too and I think EU is working on a directive to make this into a law.
I am assuming that extinction level impact asteroid wont be short notice one, and smaller ones will just spread into a multiple chunks that do more damage to multiple locations.
Sigh, it is almost too easy to kill stuff in test tube, HIV can be killed with garlic. It is quite rare to get it to work in a living being. Unfortunately this article will bring out the anti-vaccers, germ theory deniers and other woowoo people out of the woodworks...
You do know that single large engine is much more efficient than multiple smaller ones? Plus there is lot of problems synchronizing them. And then there is the fun of adding multiple points of failure and extra complexity to work around them. Better to build one single large engine that is sturdy enough so it probably wont fail.
I recall they said that they calculated that it would do that 55 miles on their track, they didn't say they drove 55 miles on the track and it then died..
Too bad that the news are not telling which browser was used, if it was Opera it would be as simple as clicking on a link to a torrent-file to download it.
There is no need for tracking with targeted ads. Show me random ads normally and when I go to Amazon etc to search for some product, then give me relevant ads. Though I will most likely ignore them in any case, but you might just get lucky by offering me the product I am looking for with slightly lower price and I just might click on the ad, maybe.
The really sad thing about this is than when a big corporation distributes illegal copies and is caught, it just says "sorry, our mistake, we'll remove the problematic content", but when a person shares copies of some MP3s, it is time to go to court and get hefty fines.
Hmm, it is not that NVidia cards just stopped working today. So if you thought the NVidia cards were working just fine before this news item, you should be still continue thinking so. Maybe in future when/if the NVidia driver is missing a feature because this DMA-BUF issue, then you might claim that Linux is not interesting any more.
This new font aint too bad, but unfortunately it doesn't work well as terminal font as GNU Unifont does, also limited Unicode support is a problem. And * is totally wrong in this font, it should be 6 pointed and same size and location as +, like in Unifont: http://www.inside.org/~raynet/unifont.png
Here in Europe, the creditcard transactions with Visa Electron are realtime and the amount you pay is immediately taken from your account. If the realtime reservation cannot be made (due to network problems that sometimes happen), you cannot make the payment and the merchant wont sell you the goods. With non-realtime creditcards, the CC issuer and/or bank makes sure the merchant gets her money even if the customer didn't have the funds, thus the merchant can be sure to paid. With Bitcoin, if the transaction can take tens of minutes to be confirmed, you cannot use it to buy anything where you get the goods immediately upon payment, like buying a cup of coffee etc. Or buying a PC from a store and walking out with it. And, worse, with Bitcoin the transaction can be later nullified and the merchant can lost her money. This has already happened once. With debit/creditcards you have some entity you can sue and perhaps get the funds back (or atleast you have a contract that defines who will pay who when transactions are reverted).

If you allow churches to use "marriage" as purely ceremonial term, what prevents some church wedding gays? :)
So it shouldn't be called marriage until you have at least one child born into the union of two people?
It made into my desktop, but why should it be on everyones desktop?
There is now, it died due to the extra p.

Noh, it is called television :)
Since when were the SI prefixes removed from the SI system?
Though often ISP is allowed cache things with proxies, so some type of copying is permissable.

You have one step too many, in Finland police doesn't need warrants.

Here I would only accept Visa Electron type cards as a merchant as I would be fairly sure that I would always get to keep the funds.
Could be, I was assuming the AC used the fastest example available in his comparison...
