Protein analysis is already allowing my mother to expect a relatively normal lifespan. Her multiple schlerosis medication (Avonex, interferon-B) had to come from somewhere.
There's a difference between liking alcohol and liking a specific beverage. If you're accustomed to Bailey's Irish Cream, you're not necessarily going to be interested in Jack Daniel's.
It's akin to saying that people who go to bestbuy.com are obviously interested in everything that Best Buy sells.
All sorts of logs can be incriminating. It's just up to the prosecutor to know who to subpeona.
Your ISP? Websites you visit? Doubleclick?
At least this sort of thing is somewhat voluntary. You don't have to go to a bar. You have every right to buy your favorite drink, and drink at home, with friends. Have a quiet slumber/LAN party, and confiscate everyone's keys. You don't get that sort of service at bars.
Laying down and petting my cat doesn't just help me relax for the short term; pets have been shown to have long-term improvements on physical and mental health.
Now if the media would report that, we wouldn't be looking at legislation against it.
People like to be emotional, and education for the media-destined points this out. That's one reason it's hard to find unbiased media...it simply doesn't make people feel emotional, so not enough people view it for it to become mainstream.
Apparently, this patent apparently doesn't apply to plugins that run as an extension of the browser, rather than as separate applications.
However, from the way the patent is described, X11 itself might count as prior art, as the X11 protocol constitutes a "bidirectional protocol between the web browser and the application."
I think he means that a rootkit is simply a virus whose medium is the people who install it. J03 h4xx0r sees it, and decides he wants to spread it around.
Kinda like fashion. (Cool! Now I have a good non-monetary reason not to dress according to pop culture.)
We've had a production Linux environment for years. Are you suggesting that, without Microsoft, other architectures would have become more popular due to the OSS model?
If you can blame Intel for not X86 not having multi-core CPUs, then surely you can blame AMD as well. After all, neither one owns the X86 ISA, and both have led development in improving it and its implementation.
Having multiple CPU cores on the same die takes up a LOT of space. I can't see joe hardwarejunkie putting up with a CPU that takes up 20% of his ATX board space. Less room for integrated goodies.
It makes a lot more sense to do it for the server market, because of fewer constraints on cost and space.
Normally, Intel+Server = Xeon or Itanium. I suspect what with AMD's Opteron taking a big bite out of the server market, Intel's going to want to start making some serious improvements on their X86 line. So expect this technology to show up on their Xeons.
It's ironic that instead of identifying the guy who made the film available for mass-download (ala Kazaa), they're identifying the screener who loaned it to his friend.
The screeners know better than to send copies to half a million people. I'm willing to bet they only let close, trusted friends borrow the video. Yet the movies are still leaked.
My high school used RFID to detect if a book was carried out of the library which hadn't been checked out. It wasn't so much a matter of turning off the RFID tags as it was logging which were checked out, and not sounding an alarm when those went through the library entrance.
One of my HS enemies dropped a tag from one of the books into the lining of my backpack. It took half an hour to find it and remove it.
Normally, I'm an AMD fan, but if you're running DOS, use a Pentium 4 with half a meg of L2 cache. That way, nearly all of your conventional memory will be on-die.:P

You don't want us to patch your security vulnerability? Then zip it! ;)
Not in Vancouver, Canada.

Given what the world has evolved into, America's Constitution ought to have something like
"Congress shall make no law to force release of privately-held information without instantiated judicial review."
Not many people give a damn about Big Brother today. I can definitely see a market for calling up a family member to drive you home.
And parents could demand that their kids only go to bars with this sort of system, with all sorts of notification and child safety precautions.
I suspect bars without these sorts of systems will eventually be considered the "seedy" places, where parents don't want their kids to go.
You're not planning an assault on Canuck Central are you?
(Sorry...John Candy movie reference.)

More aptly, "Big Bouncer"
It helps make sure that you are the person the driver's license you're bearing says you are.
I don't know for certain, but I suspect the photo on the driver's license isn't part of the data encoded in the magnetic strip.

I don't need a TV or computer to pull that off. I just lay down on the couch and pet my cat.

My brother was burning incense, but my mom made him stop.
Not much more...

Is UNIX cool or what?!

And I thought too much heat from the CPU was the worst thing that could happen to my groin...
How would the audio otherwise reach his speakers, then?
How about "As long as you can hear it, you can copy it."
There's no reason a full-duplex sound card wouldn't do the job.
