Almost that. I'm a bit tired to hear my fellow/.ers collegues refraining the same thing over and over like it matters to anyone out there. It doesn't, be acquaint to it. The lambda user just don't care about the OS, the privacy and all this stuff. Even a lot of people working in IT don't care. I even have seen bankers who don't care. This is really astonishing given how Edward Snowden is glorified by people which on another hand just don't care about a company doing much more than what NSA did few years ago. People are happy idiots.
It seems you have missed the point. You patent to avoid the patent trolls to sue you claiming a patent on a thing you neglected to patent. Even if at the end you may win, you will throw a lot of money at this useless lawsuit. So, to avoid it in first place, you are better to patent everything you can.
Not exactly. Given the threat the patent trolls represents, it is of good advice for a company to patent as much as possible its own contributions and inventions in order to not have to throw the shareholders' money at lawsuits initiated by the patent trolls companies. If you were the IBM CEO you wouldn't do otherwise. It may appear outrageous, but the first responsability of the CEO is to protect the money of the shareholders and make it profitable. Clearly, getting the patents will protect the shareholders' money.
There is more kids? Where? You are kidding, aren't you? We are just having our age of eligibility for rents postponed by two years here in Canada. From 65 to 67 years old because there isn't enough kids and people contributing to the funds. And since we are not in the European Union, we cannot ask someone else to pay for them or lend us money to keep everything as before like nothing change in the world.
We are even closing schools. So, where did you pick this idea there is so much more kids today than yesterday to explain the difference?
A ferry would be much slower than a bridge even without taking into account the boarding. It also have to be run on specific schedule while the bridge is always accessible anytime. In addition, a bridge would be much more handly for very long train convoys. It will be much more energy efficient at the end to transport massively goods.
I guess he believes that the same way some believe the Red Sea was splitted in two by Moses and Jesus actually existed, died, resurrected and flew back to his Dad. In fact, the idea we will actually colonize space has its root from the same religious beliefs we inherited the world and must conquer it. At least from the protestant's view of the world. The man is created to engineer the world. It is just an extension of religion.
Perhaps that's the deal Microsoft intends to offer to its customers with Windows 10. I don't believe either one is an acceptable approach. For sure, you can always say to the customer, let me control everything in exchange I will guarantee you a more secure platform. Even if it is not true, it is very unlikely next door guy will notice.
Why would someone wants to kill him in Russia right now? There is no reason for that, even the USA govt has no interest in such a thing. They don't want to make him a suffering hero or a martyr. He is no longer a threat anyway. He released all the information he had, he has no more to release and any more value to anyone. The only very thing the USA govt wants, is a trial where they can prove their point. Even the sentence is not really important here as long as they prove their point.
Exactly and this is the reason he has not chance to win a trial. He is actually guilty for leaking these documents which have nothing to do with what most people credit him and admire him. He did a lot of wrongs beside the goods. So, the White House is coherent, if you, Edward Snowden believe you have not done anything wrong come back and let us have a trial to see. If you think otherwise, stay away.
No, Snowden is up there with Ben Franklin and the like. People who resisted their government at the very highest levels, people who would have hanged for their activities if they'd allowed themselves to get caught.
The funny about the US is that is was founded on terrorism. It was owned by the King of England, and the terrorists rose up and defeated him.
How is Snowden any different? The US govt is now playing the role of the King of England, and he is playing the great American Hero. Where are his supporters who will happily fight and die along side him? Nah too hard, what are the Kardashians up to this week?
Pretty lame comparison. The King of England was representing an absolutist regime while the current USA govt is a democratic regime, this is a huge difference. You basically defeat a democratic regime by voting. So far, the democratic regime don't want Snowden to win because there are serious drawbacks in the way he acted that jeopardize the democratic regime itself. What do you replace a democratic regime by? A totalitarian regime? You are left with no options here. You cannot defeat a democratic regime like the patriots did in 1776.
I don't believe the problem here is with the aviation regulation regime, the hobby quadcopters (I hate the terminology drone because a drone can be anything remote controlled and we are actually talking about quad-,octo-copters here. Also, future quadcopters may not be remote controlled. So, talking about drones here is not really appropriate) aren't advanced enough yet to cope with any regulations that may be put in place and have the required safeguards.
What about first demonstrate the quadcopters can and may respect any regulation and it can be enforced? From this point, the aviation regulation body will be more open to not restrict the usage up to a point it is confined to specific and delimited geographic areas.
I don't want to brag, but I did kill a bird in flight with a golf ball. Another time I hit another bald player in the middle of his head from 150 yards. However, I never played golf near an airport.
Not necessarily true. The good programmer may stay unoticed for a long period of time or even forever if he is not part of the right projects at the right time. He may need to work for living with a team of mediocre programmers.
It is not an article, it is advertisement. There is absolutely no news content, just some stuff to make people discuss around it as if something new has happened.
They are already developped. Any defensive system that automatically launch a patriot missile to intercept another missile or whatever IS an autonomous weapon. and they are routinely used.
This whole discussion about drones is totally irrelevant. Drones are remotely piloted vehicles. They are not autonomous weapons. This is not what Musk, Woz, Hawking et ali are after.
On another hand, there is still websites registration systems which once the process is completed send you your password in plain text in a email for you to easily remember and store in you mailbox.

that's the year of Linux on the desktop.
what happened to /.? Who the f... care about that f...ing guy who claims to be an Anonymous Coward? We don't give a shit. Next!
Why is this mod Insightful when it is just off-topic? I mean, the OP/OA is about patents, not about how you think the cloud is a marvelous thing.

We used to call that probes. Everything is drone or isn't these days.

What a coincidence, that's exactly what I think about bankers.

Indeed, suicide bombers as well.
I diagnose a blockbusters' overdose.
Why do you think this force should be soldiers? Still thinking about humanoid robots doing the same thing humans are doing? This is pretty silly.
An autonomous weapon to be effective need to use sensors, as soon as you can trick the sensors it is no more effective.
All sensors have weaknesses.
BTW, most military defeats have nothing to do with moral rebellion within the defeated troops.
