Linuxcare Founders Go Wireless
I knew they were smart and all, but it's cool that they found a way to turn completely wireless. They must save a ton on airfare and bus tickets!
Alright, RIAA, we give up! Where can I drop off my $10/month for Napster? We totally promise not to work on any underground schemes to subvert your pay-per-music system(s).
Doesn't that mean we should expect more free wifebeater t-shirts for the stars of Cops? Wouldn't it be great to see a Polo logo or a Nike Swoosh on the next drunken, pantless, 3-toothed hick?
If they were serious they would have biohacked some cyborgs to do all the future biohacking for them. Then they could just sleep, eat, sleep, eat, etc.
This isn't flamebait, but what is the point of doing all of this?
So now the spammers have a lot of worthless addresses. Well let's think about that for a minute. Spam is built around a theory that next-to-no-one will reply anyway, so that doesn't matter much. Spammers also rarely pay for their own bandwidth, choosing instead to spoof unsecure machines to do their dirtywork. So in the long run, you only end up giving them more worthless addresses that creates more wasted bandwidth, neither of which really harms the people you are attempting to target.
Yeah right, as if this would ever hold up in court.
What's the penalty, being placed in a stockade? 30 Lashings? Or maybe getting tied up and tossed off the front of a moving ship like pirates used to do?
The technology to implement Leech Computing is here, now. Is it being used? I have not found any evidence, but I also do not look at the source code to every web page I download. Maybe I should.
Yet another example of how knowing more about a problem only requires you to work even harder in the future.
Doesn't this (and the linking patent) fall under some sort of Abandonment law? I thought that there was some rule where you had to seek action within X number of years once you had knowledge of an infringement and once that time frame ran out you lost your patent rights based on abandonment...IINAL of course, so a reply from one would likely be handy.
"If you were to design a language from the ground up, what features would you include and why?"
Since we're in a complete fantasy realm here where all of use have the brainpower, patience, trust fund, and buckets of countless free hours required to even BEGIN such a task...
Note the date, gentlemen. If Google is selling wholesale software solutions, the countdown clock to paid searches begins today. I'm betting that in less than a year's time we'll be asked to pay for Google searches. Hopefully by that time someone will have figured out a good system for micropayments.
Free is wonderful, but free doesn't scale when it comes to indexing the majority of the internet.

Or you can just plug yourself into a high-yield electrical outlet and become the antenna!
stunning Star Wars graphics created by using a revolutionary computer controlled painting process
Warning. Warning. Fanboy author alert.
Did you hear about the pocket version? It's just as cool, albiet a bit more manual in operation. It requires a 9volt battery and crotch clamps.
The two-player mode is cool too, you just place a certain number of fingers, based on score, in a doorjam and let your friend give it a hearty shove!

Sounds like it might be time to start gathering up some ICANN drink coolers and Ethics Manuals...

Oh man, I always thought that when they said "Rip," they were referring to the seat of my pants from sitting at my computer for 15 hours a day. Oops.
Companies are paying attention to TV now?

Water-cooled? That's boring.
Now what I want is an Ice-Cream-Cooled Laptop. Like an electronic Klondike bar. Mmmm...
Oh great...then what happens when EMachines goes bankrupt and sells the source code on Ebay for $12?

Yeah, but guess who's router is in the middle of all that transmission?
The one you get your Email and HTTP off of, slowing down your performance slightly as well.

I wish they would recut more movies just to so I could buy them to enjoy.
I bet someone with talent could turn Home Alone into a dark action flick...
A beta release? Why not just start announcing Alpha releases too?
What, you're still reading this? Get back to work testing my future software for me for free!
Man, if I cluster a few dozen I might be able to gather up 350Mhz to run a wicked Quake1 server!

Ignorance truely is bliss
Just to be rational, I'd like to know two things:
1) What is the highest total of online signatures a TV show has recevied on this or similar websites.
2) Did it matter?
Just putting in my 2 cents. Save Futurama. The more geeks that reply to this story, the better.

So we're teaching robots to teach themselves the best and most effective ways to kill things. Man, that's a great idea. Thanks, scientists!
