Offshore laptop rentals with temporary accounts linked to offshore data are booming!
What a great business model. You set up an account with the company, stuff all your crap on a server, then when you get to your destination, you pick up a laptop (maybe your "rental fees" are part of your normal monthly service account)... logging in to the laptop mounts the remote volume and download away.
Not that I have a problem with either (or those who choose to do so), but distillation and prostitution have been around for quite a while too. Some religions frown upon them.
I'm pretty religious myself. I just believe you either fess up to picking and choosing which things you consider "playing God", or you throw the baby out with the bathwater and go become a monk. I find bringing Mastodons and Turtles back through genetic manipulation no different than selective breeding, something is gone that Man wiped out - and we want it back. Let me get my strawman out, Euthanasia is altering the time at which God chose your death, while Shock paddles do precisely that - in both cases you are altering what is considered the property of the diety. Personally, I believe we should just do what we're going to do, and realize there are consequences, accept them and move on.
I imagine people will scream about "Playing God"(tm) in these circumstances. They, of course, say, "What a miracle" when they are brought back from what should have been a death by heart attack.
Personally, I think small northern russian and canadian provinces could really have a boom if we'd bring back mastodons and such, selling the hunting rights.
In my view, you're only "Playing God" if you're talking velociraptors and making your own artificial creepy stuff. I just can't see "Giant Tortoises go on rampage", unless they have jet packs and live in Tokyo.
My late father in law (2004) could have used something like this for speech, ALS effectively cut him off completely for the last month or two of his life.
No one ever considers the fact that if you exist outside of National jurisdiction, you're fair game. It's a sad fact of the nation-state, but still very much real.
1. Lets suppose, for a moment that extremeophile life exists on Titan. The conditions on Titan are far more prevailant in the universe than "habitable zones". Which means we are an extremely delicate form of life. "narrowphile"
2. Etremophiles would then be a more likely, and more dominant life zone than us.
3. We're looking for the wrong conditions through the universe to support life. We should be looking for energy rich (metane, sulphur), hot and cold "extreme" environments.
slice dice and blood splatter with a goofy lightsaber, and you have to "jerk off" the wiimote to rebuild your charge? I think adult on wii has already been done.
A foreign power is using illegally obtained U.S. resources (compromised PCs) to attack another power. I believe that is a serious breach of international law. It would be no different t
Or perhaps I'm thinking "romatically", but I seriously believe that stories of trolls are the last vestiges of memory of the interaction between humans and Neanderthals. The whole meme just seems to fit so well with the established evidence. This, of course, does not mean a truth - but some part of me wants to believe it is. Perhaps looking at ancient stories from northern societies about trolls or troll-like creatures might provide some insight into their behavior and primitive society. (Matrilineal, etc). Course if wishes were ponies, I'd be up to my eyeballs in manure.
I'll be interested in seeing (after previewing the sing-along-blog) - but it feels like he watched the first 2 seasons of Venture Brothers and decided to try that too.
looking at anti-particles from the standpoint of reverse entropy (going back in time).. the strong force here seems to be the release and absorption of the energy released... OR the strong force is keeping the two from colliding, acting - in a reverse entropy sense as a repulsion.
I am, obviously, not schooled in this whole mess of stuff, but it's interesting to think about (even if my thoughts are fiction). How fun!
Are we just looking at crazy-ass multithreading? or do you mean we need some special API? I think its really the compiler guru's who are really going to make the difference here - 99% of the world can't figure out debugging multithread apps.
I'm only moderately successful with it if I build small single process "kernels" (to steal a graphics term) that process a work item, and then a loader that keeps track of workitems.. then fire up a bunch of threads and feed the cloud a bunch of discrete workitems. Synchronizing threads is no fun.
Wrong - to a degree:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta
(no one knows how to make it)
Terra preta soils are of pre-Columbian nature and were created by man between 7000 BP[3] and 500 BP ("Before Present"). The soil's depth can reach 2 metres (6 feet). Thousands of years after its creation it is reputedly known as self-regenerating at the rate of 1 centimetre per year[4] by the local farmers and caboclos in Brazil's Amazonian basin, and they seek it out for use and for sale as valuable compost (see Pedology).
In the 1950s in the town I live (Chenoa, IL), 2 "inspectors" came in to audit the books of the local bank. They stayed for 4 hours pouring over the materials, and appeared knowledgable and professional. They stayed through lunch, when the manager and several other big wigs went out to get a bite - the "inspectors" walked out with the entire cash reserve (since the vault was unlocked to allow them access to the ledgers)
Never caught.
I remember the Ultima book back when a laser copy was expensive. The colors were pastels, which wouldn't copy on the copy machines of the day, so to pirate the game, you had to spend about as much in color copies as buying the darn thing.
Course, I had a friend whose dad's office had a copier... ahh. smell the piracy.
Fred Rogers would shake his head and shed a tear.
(from wikipedia)
During the controversy surrounding the introduction of the household VCR, Rogers was involved in supporting the manufacturers of VCRs in court. His 1979 testimony in the case Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc. noted that he did not object to home recording of his television programs, for instance, by families in order to watch together at a later time. This testimony contrasted with the views of others in the television industry who objected to home recording or believed that devices to facilitate it should be taxed or regulated.

Now you take the human translated recognition, and use it to train your genetic algo or neural net against the original images.

Isn't that what they blamed stuff on pre-WW I? What kill the kaiser think? God help us if Ferdinand is shot!

Staying on top of his game is all part of his psychosis. If you hadn't noticed, he's a bit of a whackjob himself.

Quit playing around and run something that will actually help another person. (Plenty of grid clients out there).

yee haw! Denser materials == better weapons for punching through armor - oh wait, also means denser armor!
