You are wrong. Steel and stainless steel parts can also be 3D printed.
Not directly. You can 3D print patterns which are used to make molds for casting the parts in steel. I certainly don't know of any home 3D printers which actually print in steel.
"Works created by employees and/or students specifically for use by the Prince George’s County Public Schools or a specific school or department within PGCPS, are properties of the Board of Education even if created on the employee’s or student’s time and with the use of their materials." [emphasis added]
So this covers only assignments for school, not personal stuff you create at home for other purposes, such as that novel you've been writing. (Unless you turn in chapters of that novel for creative writing assignments!)
I'm having trouble following this. If I understand correctly, if I had Java disabled in my browser already, then my Twitter account is safe? It's really hard to tell from the article.
Science is alive and well in at least the Physics community. Whilst I won't even pretend to understand General Relativity, the questioning of it and discussion about those questions is the true essence of science.
Sigh. General Relativity was not even at question here. Perhaps commenting on Slashdot should require a minimum amount of knowing what one is talking about. AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Sigh.
Wow, somebody took their grumpy pill this morning. Can't a person simply point out that it's great to see issues like this being discussed without someone tearing them apart for confusing the special and general theories of relativity? By the way, I have a Ph.D. in physics. Does that make me qualified to post a reply to your comment?
However, it needs to be mentioned that if you are learning to skydive the first lesson isn't "what if you chute doesn't open."
Actually, it is. Before your first jump, you must be trained in what to do if any number of things go wrong, including a main canopy failure. You don't get to decide when something bad happens, so you need to be prepared from the start.
Interestingly, Auernheimer disagrees with this interpretation.
From TFA: (the techcrunch statement)
"Ivy league educated and wealthy, Aaron dealt with his indictment so badly because he thought he was part of a special class of people that this didn’t happen to. I am from a rundown shack in Arkansas. I spent many years thinking people from families like his [Swartz] got better treatment than me. Now I realize the truth: The beast is so monstrous it will devour us all. None will be spared."
Agreed. Anyone who thinks the federal justice system doesn't steamroll the elite should talk to Martha Stewart or Conrad Black.
In the US, people have certain rights to their image that are not based in copyright. The person in the picture does not own the copyright, but they still have the right to control commercial use of the photo.
If Universal posts the latest Spiderman movie and I re-post it, they can have it taken down. This is just normal copyright and that's not limited to big companies or rich people.
But the copyright for a photograph belongs to the person who took the picture, not the person in the picture. (I recognize that in some cases, they may be the same person.) Suppose in the example given the picture wasn't taken by the person depicted with the beer bottle but by a third party, who gave consent to the second party to post the photo in her album which depicts the first party holding a beer bottle.
...the "right to be forgotten" raises some free speech issues...
is one way to look at it, but the other way to look at it is that free speech raises some privacy issues. As the Stanford Law Review article recognises, there's a tension between the two and different cultures choose to give them different weights. That doesn't make either culture right or wrong.
True, and in the pre-Internet days, it didn't matter very much if two different cultures weighed those two issues quite differently But it gets much more complicated when we're all connected. Suppose a European creates a Facebook account (hosted in the US) and later wants some information removed. Which country's laws should prevail? It gets even more interesting if it isn't a big international company like Facebook, but a small US-based blog site, that someone in a foreign nation chooses to participate in. Whose laws prevail then?
The Internet is a wonderful thing, but difficulties do arise when different countries' approaches to freedom of speech differ, and both counties share the same global Internet.
I would purchase them again today.
Horses are not especially more intelligent than cows.
What does intelligence have to do with the taste, quality, or safety of meat? By your logic, we should all engage in cannibalism, or if that makes you squeamish, we should eat dolphins and apes.
If this actually happens, I hope that the kid beats the living shit out of the asshole who wanted him for a lab animal.
-jcr
Why? Keep in mind, if the scientist didn't carry out the experiment, this "kid" wouldn't exist at all. Would that be a better situation for him or her? Is there a right to not exist that's been violated?
What you're missing is the measurement of frequency that allows position to be calculated. That depends on relativity, but I can't remember whether it's special or general relativity.
It's both. There's the gravitational redshift (GR) and the change in frequency due to the relativistic Doppler effect (SR) (which includes time dilation in the moving source). Both these effects are accounted for if you employ the Schwartzchild metric for a spherically symmetric gravitational potential as GR is a generalization of SR.
...is broke. Usually when you prove a theory wrong through evidence, it gets put away in a box. Not Special Relativity, it gets bandied about as being the most wonderful thing, we'll just modify it a little to make it work...
Einstein did modify it. The resulting theory is called General Relativity. Special Relativity still works as an extremely accurate approximation in the absence of strong gravitational fields. The equations of Special Relativity are used in experimental high energy physics all the time quite successfully.
Possession of the object is illegal. The end.
3D printing has nothing to do with anything.
You can already buy semi-automatic weapons that can be modified at home into fully automatic weapons. The original thing is legal to purchase and posses, the latter thing is illegal to make and possess. This is really not so different except that you need a very expensive 3D printer instead of a cheap metal file.
Ah, but the key difference is the objects printed by the 3D printer can be melted down after use and remade when they're needed again. So your time of legal exposure is much shortened, thereby considerably reducing the risk of getting caught. You'd pretty much have to be caught in the act of committing the crime.
I think you're confusing BASIC and Perl. In BASIC, string variables are indicated by putting a dollar sign after the variable name, so line 20 should be:
Maybe. It depends on how clear the DOJ was. The DOJ asks companies to continue hosting forums for instance related to very bad stuff all the time. They aren't just continue to preserve the data. They are asking the companies to keep the forums up so that there investigation can continue unhampered by what otherwise the law requires them to take down.
If that's the case, and the DOJ asked Megaupload to break the law by continuing to share copyrighted materials after a DMCA notice was given, then Megaupload should have demanded the DOJ put their request in writing, and if the DOJ refused, they should have complied with the law and stopped sharing the files. If the DOJ put their request in writing, then Megaupload would be protected now.
What high school *should* be about is Peano arithmetic, logic and *perhaps* some introduction to te *theory* of integration.
You're operating under the incorrect assumption that the only target audience for math courses in high school is future mathematicians. Most people who take math do so, not because they want pure math as a career (although some might), but rather because math is an essential tool for a vast array of careers, among them: engineering, medicine, architecture, accounting, actuarial work, systems analysis, sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.), I could go on and on... High school math is about providing a foundation for all those careers, as well as for early undergraduate math courses which are also essential for many of the above mentioned fields, as well as for pure math studies.
The government knows what car you have. So they do have the right to know what you own.
And another thing: you need a driver's license to drive a car. Wouldn't it be logical to need a license to wield a gun? And to have all guns registered?
There are two problems with your comparison:
First, there is no constitutional right to own a car. There is one to own a gun.
Second, the government doesn't in fact have a right to know that I own a car. The licensing and registration requirements for motor vehicles only pertain to operating motor vehicles on PUBLIC ROADS. In other words, it is really the roads that are regulated, not the cars. If you have a large estate with its own network of private roads, and you have a car which you drive around only on said roads, you do not need a driver's license, insurance, license plates, car registration, or even a serial number on your car. Yet proponents of gun registration want firearms registered even for people to keep guns IN THEIR HOMES.
Slashdot Mirror
Except nudity isn't special, It's how every single person has ever come in to the world.
Not me. I was born in Dockers and a Polo shirt.
You are wrong. Steel and stainless steel parts can also be 3D printed.

People who play those games want to pretend they're using the ACTUAL rifles that are used by the Military.
And at home.
I had a version of Multiplan on a Commodore 64. This thing was everywhere.
Yeah, but Multiplan on the C64 was useless cause it took so long to open and save spreadsheets.

no, by his logic, we should eat you
I'm flattered, but just because I'm smart doesn't mean I would taste very good! That was kind of the point of my comment.

I think you're confusing BASIC and Perl. In BASIC, string variables are indicated by putting a dollar sign after the variable name, so line 20 should be:

The original DOJ request to preserve data is documented.
But did that documented request include continuing to share and/or make the files available?
Maybe. It depends on how clear the DOJ was. The DOJ asks companies to continue hosting forums for instance related to very bad stuff all the time. They aren't just continue to preserve the data. They are asking the companies to keep the forums up so that there investigation can continue unhampered by what otherwise the law requires them to take down.
If that's the case, and the DOJ asked Megaupload to break the law by continuing to share copyrighted materials after a DMCA notice was given, then Megaupload should have demanded the DOJ put their request in writing, and if the DOJ refused, they should have complied with the law and stopped sharing the files. If the DOJ put their request in writing, then Megaupload would be protected now.
Nope. Their argument is that they couldn't lawfully delete evidence once the DOJ made them aware that their servers were under investigation.
Perhaps, but couldn't they have stopped sharing the files or making them available while at the same time not deleting them?
That's easy. If you've driven an unusually high number of miles without filling up in-state, you were probably out of state.
And how do they know where you have been filling up? People are allowed to pay cash at gas stations, you know.
