I don't think we as a society have really figured this one out... I believe Dickens had discussions along these lines in most of his work.
Maybe someday there will be a way to balance the ability to make laws with the responsibility to make sure they are actually just.
We all know litigation really helps innovation, as does vendor lock in.
I would have to believe that the product is reaching the top of the s-curve (diffusion of an innovation - ie the stock CPU), and has become a commodity, when EVERY transaction becomes about price and no longer about comparison of the technologies. At this point, looks like litigation is the only way to compete - instead of taking the food from your competitor's mouth, you try to bleed them out.
Or Intel cheated and AMD is just saying "neener-neener-boo-boo" and telling on them.
ours had a misprint.. pages 500-532 were missing, while 532-56something where in there twice. A few other chapters had the same problem. We're keeping the misprint, and just went out and bought another copy (after verifying all the pages were in the right places)
Traveler from GDW made a big point about space suits being skin tight at higher tech levels, so that users would not be encumbered, just sort of popped in my head when reading the headline.
Same principle was used on Mars in Heinlein's Red Planet.
So it compare's key/mouse input from the user.. so you get some engineering students and build a par-port output that loops back in as mouse and keyboard-shunt input.
A good afternoon or 3 and some beer, and a few engineering students could overcome that problem, and be selling the solution to cheat-software-makers before the intel crap hits stores.
would it be possible to do something with a speaker? (as an experiment). I understand TFA about the piezeo devices being compressed/released by the plates vibrating like a flute, but I started wondering about the image that immediately popped into my head, of tuned diaphragms responding to air pressure differences to vibrate a coil... I guess if you did the flute thing, you could just put a piezo crystal between a tuning fork and a solid surface... every note at that frequency, especially if sustained, would then make power....
So, how about making great huge "moaning towers" out in the middle of nowhere that do the same thing? I'll call it "BULLROAR"(tm) technology. Hell.. I wonder if the forces involved on a bullroar spinning aroud your head might generate power (say, with a couterweight like thos rechargable watches).
This idea is kinda fun.
KA9Q Packet radio was in existance before 1995. It would integrate with normal IP, and was used extensively in Brasil and several remote locations for TCP traffic. I wonder if anyone put a phone into the picture.
Before we worry about Iran, we need to worry about someone coming in and wiping out a sectarian country led by a minority governemnt that holds a tenuous peace through fear and intimidation. Pulling a large country, such as Iraq, apart would SERIOUSLY destabilize the region and mark the aggressor as a modern age imperiallist.. oh, nevermind.. I can't even make it through the rest of my planned post.
We've ALREADY destabilized the region, no sense blaming it on a country trying to fill the vacuum of power. Sure they might be nuts and whatever, but tigers do what tigers do. *SOMEONE* always fills a power vacuum. We're obviously not doing it (and in my opinion, shouldn't).
Sure, people see the downside of this.. I happen to see it as proof that Open Source works on the community scale. I now know these bugs can be addressed.. how many bugs are in IE7 that I can't see because of the closed source?
I have already handed an Ubuntu disk to one "lost cause"... perhaps the wave of the future? Then, over beers, you help install thunderbird and get most of their stuff up and running. What a shiney new machine they have!
Location based encryption based on lat/long and password.... must be standing on Mount Ranier within 50 meters of a specific point.
Or as you move through a building, it decrypts and gives you instructions.
Ok.. so google pays itself for clicks.. say 10000 clicks a day at some arbitrarily high number like $10000/click. So, will Google then report that as SALES?.. ooh today we earned $100,000,000! See Wall street, push our stock value up - we just made a boatload of cash!... makes me wonder if the emperor is feeling the draft yet.

I'm a 102 year old woman from Chicago with a Boston zipcode used on Zoom ( Oh-two-1-3-foooouuur ). Those demographics will be REALLY accurate.

to heck with my karma! How do they buffer the intense shock of their crappy PS3 sales figures!
Can't you see the rioting/giggling meme is just part of the viral marketing for the next Batman movie!?!?

Can they just bust microsoft for copyright infringment now?
... black paint? or tape? Poof, no more lights.
It has to be measured in terms of clicks that become sales.
I still think there will be some kind of radiation or gas/plasma that will act to allow quantum tunnelling of some kind.. sort of a fusion catalyst.

See: The Great Mambo Chicken explores this somewhat.
At what point are you more machine than person?
Moooooommm, Sunie's hogging all the oxygen again!
Sunie, Cut it out. Don't antaonize your sister.
But, I gotta win the maaarathonn.
Well, do it quietly, dear. Your sister has experiments to conduct.
But it's overcast, you insensitive clod!
It was more a comment about hegemony than specific to Iran.. Yeah, I think raven or crow or vulture would be a more specific description.

In other news, EE students around the world with modified TVs break into all the communications and apps that have moved to the open TV spectrum.
Isn't what people get out of such a breach, but what can be PUT IN.
ohh.. look at Johnny's sparkly new Ph.d. or M.D.
