Since LeakID now claims ownership of this malware, can't we sue them for all damages it causes? After all, there likely wasn't a EULA with the 'malware'
The fun part they didn't apparently check is that the 'Free Market' folks are also going to be the most likely to deny evolution....which is the ultimate 'free market'.
Exactly. We don't train people to drive basically at all.
Isn't it 18 to drive in Germany too? Of course in Germany and many European countries the 'privilege' part of driving is real. You can easily not qualify to be able to drive, in the states its so easy it's not a 'privilege' anymore. That and if you don't have a car in Europe it's at least plausible to get around outside metro centers.
My understanding is that permafrost is generally considered to be poor soil in quality. Do you have sources to show that it is as good as, say, Kansas soil?
As for benefiting from longer growing seasons...ask Texas how that's working. Record fires aren't exactly helping farmers at least in the short term. But hey, at least they'll be more frequent!
Even if we go with your supposition that farming on melted permafrost is great, it won't support heavy machinery, it's basically a bog. (hence why the Alaskan pipelines contain systems to keep the ground frozen during summers) So industrial scale farming can't work. So much for replacing the breadbasket with the northern 40.
Assuming that a newly created ecosystem will be as good as a 'perfectly situated' existing system? That's lunacy. And lets not talk about having to relocate people, machinery and livestock to 'another country'...
Sure the DNA is destroyed, but what about the computer generated representation of that DNA? As soon as something is translated from one form to another, saying you'll destroy the submission is meaningless.
Please resign your Slashdot account. You've been entirely too informative and polite to be seen around here. It might catch on and then what would we be?;-)
Hmm, I guess I always thought that GSM meant a certain set of frequencies that all GSM phones could use; i.e. the 'GSM' chip was capable of working all GSM frequencies. (I don't know)
Likewise I would assume that any phone labeled as a particular tech would be able to handle that 'entire' techs frequency allocation, such as LTE, but then again I don't know if LTE is analogous to 'GSM' in this way. Is LTE an agreed standard to be implemented by all networks claiming to be LTE or is more the '4G' type of labeling that has no meaning beyond marketing?
And to your point. Once it's data held by the ISPs it's a far cry from your own personal data which would require said subpoena, it's just corporate data...
You can jump from 'regulation' to 'fascism' if you want but it shows your true self.
The 'smirking reference' is that Romney and the GOP have this crazy vision that the free market will fix everything. It won't, period.
The 'market' is not concerned with 20 years down the road. It is concerned with right now and only the barest of slivers of the future. BIG projects take the government to push because you need them done before it would be economical to do them.
Take the interstate highway system in the US. Built by the government. Take the internet...insert Gore joke here...but built by the government and extended amazingly by many parties, but the impetus was government at its core.
Climate change is bigger than any of those things and will require the government to push the private sector to do what it does best, innovate. But without the initially artificial need to create solutions driven by regulation, the market won't do that until much much later.
At which point it will cost MUCH more to solve than if we started now.
The data retention plan - which would force all Australian telcos and internet service providers to store the online data of all Australians for up to two years
and
''Many investigations require law enforcement to build a picture of criminal activity over a period of time. Without data retention, this capability will be lost,''
Mean they are quite clear on collecting EVERYTHING so that they can build something up later. If it's only 'all Australians who're under suspicion' that's one thing, but it clearly says 'All Australians' without caveat.
I can't think of a commercial entity who'd benefit
Uh, somebody has to run the operations and servers and respond to requests etc. If Australia is anything like the US, that's a LOT of commercial entity involvement.

Hmmm, how about wirelessly powered light fixtures? We can use incandescent bulbs again since we aren't worried about efficiency!

I'd still say tougher driving classes wouldn't hurt ;-)

Thanks for the explanation!
Bonus points if you work at a USPS facility and use old mail crates...

So yes...but no?
If it the different providers use different frequencies then it isn't compatible is it?
Your rainbow pooping unicorn order has been delayed...

OP said it was not to collect info on 'everything but only to retain what they do collect. Glad you agree with me. What was your argument again?
