I hold my head high because I know that I am not guilty of anything.
Oh but you are! In a minor way. How many times did you not answer the Q because you wanted to give others a chance of answering or working it out?
Look man, there's something known as "Intelligence" and there's something else which is called "Wisdom".
Be able to answer the question is nothing.
Knowing WHEN to answer the question takes real wisdom.
I did not (and still do not) blurb out answers just because I can, I will only do so _after_ everybody else (mostly from the "doh!" category) in the room were stumped.
With all the data already collected actually it's not that hard to generate the dataset that Zoà Keating or any musician required, via data-mining.
The problem is on who's going to pay for the data-mining effort?
I reckon that if the Musicians (or any other people) wants the dataset and are willing to pay for it, there will be people who will be more than happy to provide the service.
What's so surprising is that the current crop of intelligent people have actually succumbed to the bullies by the inferiority complex sufferers.
I too, and many like me in my generation, and those before me, had gone through the gauntlet of taunts and shovings and beatings, just because we think differently.
Those that bullied us bullied us because they felt inferior. They INSTINCTIVELY KNEW that they are inferior, but their ego just won't that happened.
It's their internal struggles - ego versus instinct - that promoted some of them to act out in violence.
As I said, I too got beaten up just because I ain't one of them, but so what?
Why should I hide my own self just because someone else don't like who I am?
Hey, I am born into this world not because I am destined to follow dumbasses. I am born into this world to do what I must do - that is, to be myself.
Yes, I got beaten up, but that didn't affect my determination to be my own self, not even a bit.
I hold my head high because I know that I am not guilty of anything. The guilty party is THEM, not me.
I definitely sympathize, but I from my experience, it is likely an honest error.
Maybe in your case they were "". I've seen many of your submissions and you never did publicly criticizing any of the Slashdot editor.
In my case it's very different.
I've done submissions only to be rejected, but almost always right after my submissions were rejected - and someone somehow picked up a similar story and did the submit - walla ! theirs got in.
But I'm not sour grapes over it.
The way I look at it is that no matter who did the submission, as long as a good story is accepted, Slashdot's readers get to reap the benefits.
As for the editors, I've been on Slashdot for too long to give any damn on how they feel. If they fcuked up, I'll say they fcuked up, that's all, no point of pussy footing around them just because they are the editors.
Yep, it's an unlocked device and you're supposed to be able to root it without issue.
which, I find very amusing...
Slashdot supposed to be a place for geeks, and look what we have here... Both the Slashdot Submitter and Slashdot Editor do not know that Google's Nexus devices are made to be rootable.
How can Slashdot remains a geeky place when the editor ain't geeky enough?
You think this page turning animation is just common sense or something?
I don't have the time to read through the details of the said patent, but... if my memory serves me correctly, back in the 1980's there was a movie (can't remember which one, but it's kinda scifi related) showing a device (much like a tablet/lcd screen) where people were reading "books" and they turned pages by "flipping" the screen.
And in that movie, when the actor moved their finger across the screen, the "page" of the "textbook" in the screen turned.
Could this be counted as a "Prior Art"?
As I can't recall the title of the movie, if there's anyone here seen that movie, please share with us the name of that movie.
'They easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, they are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes,' it says.
That was supposed to go in the section on politicians.
.... and used car salesmen
But seriously, this "textbook" must have been written by a meat eater - or else how can it be filled with such vicious lies?
the conclusion of the paper urges humans to keep calm and carry on, as any attempt to fix this genetic trend would almost certainly be futile
Huh?
If what TFA says is true, that the human intelligent is in a slide for the past 2 - 4 millennia, keeping "calm and carry on" would mean human intelligence will slide EVEN MORE !!
Is this type of outcome acceptable?
Although I'm not completely sold on the eugenic idea but I can see that it might become something that's necessary to put a brake on the downward spiral.
In year 2012 as I type this message, whenever people talk about joblessness, they blame China for stealing their jobs.
I foresee this scenario to be changed somewhat in the year 2032...
By then, when people (and I mean, human being) complain about joblessness, they will blame the bots which have taken over almost every kind of manual jobs in the manufacturing sector, as well as some from the service sector.
Only after Linux gathering massive Steam (pun intended) Microsoft gave up and allowing DirectX 11.1 to run on Win7 - and it will too, be too little, too late.

Android will just freeze and be a laggy piece of shit. No warnings though, just a kernel pani-
Try a little harder, kiddo !
... then someone else will try to patent tea, guava juice, soybean milk, coconut juice .... ... and ultimately someone will patent water.
Can you imagine the final outcome ?

It did reach its "out of the closet" phase with the Bush II regime - and has been normalized into permanence under the Obama intelligence-state.
FYI, there is a HUGE GAP between "out of the closet" phase and the "normalized phase".
What Bush II did was bad enough, but if Obama didn't give TSA a big boost things wouldn't be as bad as it is, right now.
I am neither pro Bush nor pro Obama. For me, TSA is anti-people thing and no matter which president is for TSA, that president is anti-America.

Do you know that Hitler was a vegetarian?
I wonder why so many people are buying the craps in the first place.
I mean, those craps don't come cheap, y'know?
No, I ain't using any Apple devices, my last Apple device was Apple Macintosh.

Unfortunately, a Republican study committee != Republican policies and platforms.
Granted, a Republican study committee is not necessary equal to policies and platforms adopted by the Republican central committee.
But then, - and I am saying this as an independent, I ain't a Republican - where were the Democrats?
How come the "study committee" ain't the "Democrat study committee" instead?
disaproving drone strikes against allied countries.
Huh ?!
CIA launched drone strikes on Israel?!
Oh, c'mon ! Pakistan isn't an "allied country". Them Pakis actively support the Talibans.
... who knows?
Maybe the gubment hikes the basic requirement to force the airline to think of the unthinkable - to employ robots as pilots
Hey, Hong Hai (Foxconn) is doing it in China, Canon is doing it in Japan, what is stopping USA from joining in the fun?

Used tastefully and in moderation, dissonance can create mood in ways that consonance cannot easily match.
That's where the problem lies ...
How "moderate" is the moderation?
And how to make it "tasteful" without going overboard?

So you hook up your "things" to this network and they start sharing data, like time you turn off your home heater.
If that kind of data falls into the wrong hand, others will know what time you go out of your house every day and when you come back home.
Data like that might be very valuable to TPTB and also to people with not-so-nice intentions.

If you assault a police officer, YOU'RE GUILTY. PERIOD.
If the police officer said that you assaulted him , YOU'RE GUILTY. PERIOD.
Ftfy.
Right now they are all too expensive, and consume too much juice.
How long would the wait be before these things get to have pricetag that average Joe (well, advance version of average Joe) can afford ?
Just like what happened to IE 10.
Initially Microsoft only let users of Win 8 to enjoy IE 10, shutting out millions and millions of Win7 users.
Only now, rumor has it that M$ gonna let Win7 users use IE10 - http://slashdot.org/submission/2350635/ie-10-for-win-7---would-it-be-a-little-bit-too-late- - but it would be too late.
The same thing may happen here.
Only after Linux gathering massive Steam (pun intended) Microsoft gave up and allowing DirectX 11.1 to run on Win7 - and it will too, be too little, too late.
... and nobody will remember what "Haiku" or "BeOS" is all about.
