So, anyone with a brain takes a piece of paper with a printed "fingerprint", and everyone uses the same fingerprint. Unless they Force you to thumbscan AT THE REGISTER with someone verifying your thumb.. its easily circumvented. Hell, who would really verify? you just wear the "public print" taped to your thumb when you buy the cd. Cashier's could give a crap.
Going down in the crater will decrease the rover's daily income of sunlight, won't it.. granted maybe only a few seconds. But those seconds will add up to shave that lifespan down quite a bit.
When you engage in illegal or unethical activity, it becomes easier and easier to do slightly more unethical/illegal things until you're doing really STUPID things, and get caught. I would laugh at him, but I'mm better than that... no, no I'm not.. hahahaha - dork.
a good prosecution could convince a jury that a virus writer, who built a malicious thing on purpose was at least indirectly responsible for the death of a patient if the software/monitoring systems were down and it was shown to cause the health providers to not be able to do their job effectively (being alerted to a crash)... I can almost hear the discourse:
"Did you write this software" "yes" "To attack anyone and everyone it could" "yes" "And this binary dump is your code?" "Yes" "And is this machine,the source of the demonstrated code,is unable to function due to your software?" "Yes" "This Machine is the very machine that was monitoring Billy Bobs life on June 2nd, 2004.."
Well, except for all the cross-examination and objections - you get the idea.
We *promise* the data won't be used against normal citizens, and *definitely* will not end up in the wrong hands. Double pinky swear... and you know you can trust us, we're the one's that told you about WMD...
But, as I discovered working in IT at the aforementioned call center... they would treat their salary employees the same way the treated the call center personnel... when a human has no value to you, the only humans with value are those in the "elite" (in this case management)
When you have so *much* talent to draw from, from a pool of a billion, it must become very easy to just treat them like a commodity... to use them for what they're worth and then toss them aside when you're done with them... sort of the "low wage" syndrome (like call centers) here in the states - they work for nothing and there are a 100 people who will replace them - in fact there are 5 people being trained right now for when you get sick of it and quit, do you honestly give a crap about them as a manager? no.
Humans are notoriously bad at managing surplus. Scarcity, we do pretty good with.. we even invent whole bodies of knowledge to manage it (economics).. Surplus? We have no idea what to do with it, and so we waste it.
Now, I'm not exactly happy about offshoring, but I feel that, from the world-level-view, this sort of behavior is counter productive.
I did an undergrad paper on shamanism and schizophrenia.. not much of a great work, but you might want to look into practices of shamanism that train the illness to help provide orthagonal solutions to problems... I would recommend exploring her spirituality as a means of channeling her new challenges.
I've heard B6 (vitamin) has been used in treatment.
Alternately, more for your own sake, you may also want to go on a good 'shroom or acid bender once in your life to get a good idea of what psychosis is like. Sounds stupid, but it will give you a good handle on how altered your perspective can be, and yet you'll still accept it as truth, even as a better/more reliable truth (at the time) than everyday sobriety. And maybe, if its frightening enough, might give you a little more compassion when times get rough.
Every experiment needs a control. As a control, they should send out a small probe and look backwards at earth on the same frequency(s) and see if the SETI clients consistently discover transmissions from earth... this would at least go a long way to prove if the tests are even valid. (or just point an antenna at chicago, or up in the mountains looking down on san francisco.
I remember hearing about Kidney stones or something being caused by nano bacteria causing concretions when serum levels of the "building materials" got too high.. If they exist (and the kidney stone thing isn't a myth), I wonder if other concretions (like iron concretions in the ocean) are caused by similar processes.
Bill Gibson, how we love thee...

Need a flat camera on the back that projects on the tshirt on front to make the camo suit from NeuroMancer. Well.. a little bit anyway. And eventually a "pixel width" camera, so you could intersperse them over the whole suit.
No, silly.. the *plan* for marketing the product, production scehdules, logos, all the stuff you get when you buy a franchise. not GPL the product itself.
What a load of crap. How many jobs are available for 10 years. The expectation is that you, the *lowly worker* should show how much you will sacrifice for your employer. Then, when they've paid you the bare minimum that they can get away with, they lay you off and hire a cheaper workforce overseas.
Sure people want to know you'll stick with something for 10 years, but the likelyhood that the employer will live up the THEIR end of the bargain (by promising you employment for 10 years) is next to nil... they want to hold all the cards.
I would say "Knows how to learn new subjects, do research, can write to specified formats and standards" would be a better use for hiring because of a degree.
You wouldn't need to pay closing costs if you "sell it toi yourself", although some states might require "something"... you could sell it to your corporation for a dollar, if you wanted to... the only costs for closing would be filing and paperwork fees.
I thought HTTP1.1 had continue features where you could specify a byterange... just ask for the first X bytes...if you didn't get enough, get another chunk and append.
I believe the general plan, logos, etc would be available under GPL. Compliance, Training and certification (and possibly some other logos) would only be available as a separate license.
but I was more under the impression that the other photons might be moving off at 90 degrees to X,Y,Z instead of the addition of parallel universe "shadow" photons. Again, not a physicist - just an avid sci-fi reader (dangerous enough)
Back in 1990 a good friend of mine took his gifted internship (Florida has such a great gifted program) out on the Eglin AFB RailGun test site... they launched BB sized pieces of metal at something like 300G's over the gulf of mexico. Or some such ludicrous speed.
Well I will just have to give them the software for free, but charge them a monthly fee for potential support calls. I'll probably get a much better revenue stream that way.

We ran some kick ass games on a 1-Mhz C64... or we used pen, paper, dice and about $50 in manuals.
Hmm.. makes you wonder if doubleclick.com/.net can be considered prior art... the idea being around pre-2000. Perhaps I need to patent drag and drop
Are there any standard protocols for data transmission from these things (I mean above the wireless/transport layer)? just curious.

the classics? I imagine James Joyce and other exeprimental writers would fail miserably.

Microsoft invents Delphi! gee.. only about 10 years after the fact.. and its not WTL, its written V-C-L! *grin*
