I don't understand the second part of your post (uReason? unsigned char reason?)
But, as has been pointed out, I DID understand that your post was sarcasm. I'm not saying "hey, you`re wrong - there IS something wrong with the casino rigging games". What i'm saying is that you are comparing a player counting cards with a casino cheating, as if there is some sort of equivalance. There is no such equivelence. The casino hosts a game, and should be hosting it fairly. The player should be allowed to use any method* available to them to win.
*for some value of `any` - ie no electronic aids, for example.
So you`re equating a gambler counting cards (that is, paying attention to what has been dealt) with fraudulent activity (rigging machines)? How do you come to that conclusion?
"This kind of headline is just going to piss everyone off and hinder the progress of the research. "
So, you don't like the headline SlashDot used, or the research itself. In the absence of any proof of the existance of god, "playing god" is a pointless criticism. You have any sensible, intelligent objections to this research?
Yes, Hitler and Stalin may have been miles apart from each other when it came to political ideology, but one thing they both simply couldn't tolerate was all those Jewish data compression systems! Hitler in particular wanted a codec which could store 1000 years of video.
I'd be interested to know why bandwidth is so expensive. Anyone here have any concrete answers? Surely with more and more of the world being connected, the cost should go down slowly, as there is just maintainance costs to deal with. Are we still paying for the initial road digging, satellite launches etc?

Is the third film going to be good like the first film was, or is it going to suck like the sequel?
"experimental computer network based on cybernetic principles that was used by Chile's revolutionary government between 1971 and 1973"
Then they decided it was more effective to unplug the computer and just torture people with the mains lead.
"by the time they resolved all the dependencies it would be time to graduate"
Sounds like "DLL Hell" to me...
A few questions..
1) Are there any?
2) How much bios code is reusable between completely different motherboards?
3) Will we always need a bios?
"Blockers will be outlawed before they ever make it to market."
Yeah, well I'll just build one into my tin foil hat!! There's no way they're taking THAT off of me!
1) Because you have to run those signals over wires
2) At the sort of frequencies we're currently using...They essentially act as antennas
I'm not a hardware guy, but can't we deliberately send (broadcast) the signals, and `receive` them at the CPU/RAM input terminals?
Or failing that, use light - line up the cpu and ram on the same level. Somehow.

Why not use a regular laser pointer? I believe the link below was featured on SlashDot once (or was it www.cryptome.org?).

"Or not. It didn't work. No duh. Did anyone really think it would?"
Sure. It DOES work, if set up properly. What, you think it's not possible in theory? Why?
Not long to wait then!

So...they didn't goof then. They made a lot of money out of this `mistake`.

Don't confuse him with the facts for god's sake!
