Yes, but adding a chinese translation didn't work with the Slashdot unicode support.
Anyway, there have been way too many Slashdot articles on all of those terms already. If you are a slashdot reader and still don't get them, maybe you can just search the web?
Do you even know what a zero sum game is? And what bitcoin is? How is that zero sum?
Also, the 'someone has to lose money in any deal'... It's only true in an 'opportunity cost' sense, not in real world numbers. It means that say, if you bought a painting for 10 dollars, sell it to me for 20, and I sell it later again for 25, you have lost that 5 dollar that you could have made by making the deal I made. In reality of course, we both made money on the deals, and that deal I made may never have become available to you.
I understand what you are saying, I really do. Also, I can't speak for the Nobel committee. However, for me personally, Obama brought back the idea that the US elected someone based on being rational, that was also friendly to allies, and will not fight unjust wars over petty grievances. It brings back the US to the negotiation table. Maybe some of those ideas are false, however, they are not as you say 'nothing'. It's a big player in an important position.
In unrelated news, intelligence monitoring has picked up Kim Jong Un stating 'second test successful too!' followed by manaical laughter from his Starcraft-2 themed war-room.
It was a beta, so we should be somewhat forgiving of flaws.
Then again, where I live, 60 euro buys you the 'limited edition', which doesn't even include all the content available at launch. I'm not sure if there will be a demo, and reviews are on and off, so what exactly am I supposed to use for judging if it's worth 60 euro? As much as they see it as a Beta themselves, for lots of people this was effectively a commercial demo. I'm sure they can fix the network problems, but in terms of gameplay I doubt they'll do more than minor tweaks.
I tried the beta, it was more fun than simcity 4... but nothing that great. The tutorial is very polished, as you've come to expect in games these days. The graphics are generally viewed as good, but I don't really like this sims style cartoony stuff. I wish they could give us an interface that feels more about realism, planning and technology and less like a kids toy. I guess they decided their market is in different people, fine. They claim to have groundbreaking simulations, but in so far they have that it didn't seem to add much in terms of interesting gameplay. Animations seemed unrefined. I doubt they'll change those things so much.
Perhaps multiplayer will be fun, didn't manage to try that.
Also, as in the article, I couldn't manage to login until late in the Beta, but then again, it is a Beta so I'm sure they'll be able to fix the network problems eventually.
Having seen creative managers, and logical managers, I'd take the logical ones any day. For an entrepreneur (or otherwise leader) you expect them to come up with a bold vision and creativity.
IMHO a good manager shouldn't do those things too much and rather use those skills from their team and organization. Not because a manager can't, but because if he gets involved with his own ideas too much, it clouds judgement.
Surely not. In such conditions they will neither collect enough light nor shine *that* brightly. Then again, you don't need an indicator to tell you it's cold when there is snow on the road. In Netherlands the problem is usually with temperatures that keep jumping up and down just over and under melting/freezing temperature, sometimes making roads treacherous. Winter temperatures here are a bit higher than in northern Finland of course.
As for the lanes, it's an improvement over normal paint... but nothing magic.
(ie. If your car kills someone because Sergey programmed it wrong, you go to jail. You knew this was the law when you purchased the car and sent it off on it's own so don't bitch about it.)
Hard to imagine this. For something to be a crime, nearly anywhere you would need either intent, or negligence, or recklessness. In the case as you draw it, it is none of those. Courts are not black and white, and it would be highly dependent on what exactly happened what the outcome should be - even reasonably.
For a speeding ticket this is slightly different as it is just an out of court settlement, and there are no such requirements.
At this point, if you want control over your site you can easily run some kind of VPS. If you use shared hosting, do you really want to share your server with a bunch of vastly outdated joomla and wordpress sites? This constitutes the majority of sites on your average shared hosting provider... leading to potential escalations to other sites (not always true, but it's possible), being used to host or send spam, leading to blacklisting of the server on spam lists etc.
They probably claim no such thing as having patched all WP vulnerabilities. Also, keep in mind that culture in Netherlands is really not to sue people for any minor thing (and if there was a lawsuit, damages awarded would be quite proportional, and costs are lower than some other countries).
You don't seem to get what is vague. Commercial uses aplenty, but there exist *no* distinctly noncommercial uses of work. I never get why people don't see this. If you keep NC, you might as well just stick to normal copyright, as nobody will legally be allowed to use it for any reason with an NC clause (except personal use, which is already fine with normal copyright). For instance: any use by an organization like a charity is almost certainly commercial in nature if you read to the letter of the law. Putting it on a website with any kind of advertisement, sponsoring, donation etc: same.
This requires either some set of central servers, which somewhat defeats the purpose, or a method of broadcast communication that isn't blocked by your ISP.
No central servers are needed, and you don't need broadcast either really (although both are used by some solutions). However, you may need or want brokers/routers at local points, and they may need bigger caches than you would currently have. That can be a problem yes.
(IP level) broadcast is not really needed, as the scheme already implements some kind of multi-cast. I don't think ISP's will block this kind of thing, plain old TCP would suffice just fine as underlying layer.
I would really suggest to read some of the papers on the technology. You are right that there are more problems to the technology though.
a) it predates magnet (magnet just from 2002, CCN is from late 90's) b) magnet is a naming/addressing scheme, this is a routing technology. There is a difference, although one can be used with another.
Any time someone talks about Content Centric networking or routing, there are always a bunch of people saying that it's basically the same as distributed hash tables, multicast, a cache, etc.
However, it may use such technologies, but it isn't the same.
Content Centric is all about having distributed publish/subscribe, usually on a lower network layer.
The content part in the name means that there is being looked at the content itself for routing, not some explicit addressing. For instance, to give a very simple example you can send out a message [type=weather; location=london; temperature=21], then anyone subscribing to {location==london && temperature>15} will receive this message.
The network is typically decentralized, and using this kind of method can give a number of interesting efficiency benefits.
This is currently mostly being used in some business middleware; ad hoc networking stuff and some grid solutions. None of those particularly large.
The real problems with widespread use of this technique are the following:
* It's unnecessary: IPv6 is completely necessary, somewhat doable in terms of upgrading, and almost nobody is using it even now. This is someone suggesting a whole new infrastructure for large parts of the internet. The fact is, this would possibly be more efficient than many things that are being done now, but in reality nobody cares about it. Facebook and youtube (ok Google) would rather just pay for the hardware and bandwidth than give up control.
* Security is still unclear, it's easy to do some hand-waving about PKI, but it's hard to come with a practical solution that works for many.
We all pay lip service to the idea that most users never change the default settings in software, but we rarely follow this through to its logical conclusion.
Yes, but in many countries genocide of stupid users is illegal!
I see a lot of people write this, but the web version of imo.im doesn't seem close to the quality of Meebo... Meebo was the best multi-protocol web messenger by a huge margin. Then again, with everyone having a phone with a bunch IM capabilities these days, it may not matter. I always used Meebo whenever I wanted to access MSN messenger, which these days is never.
Meebo android client was nice when it launched but they never updated it.
I actually like it that they are stopping the service now, as now they offer a download of your full chat history:), years of conversation coming back. I guess the owners of meebo like their piles of newfound cash from google too.
In reality it's often just the first character that is uppercase. So if an uppercase char is obligatory, and your first attempt is on the first character, then in 63% of all passwords you will guess it without ANY aditional difficulty. You can say this is not true all day because of your amazing math skills, but in the real world this is true every single day, no matter how much you keep denying it. Passwords are being cracked easily right now because of this. Just use extra characters rather than uppercase, it's much better in every way. (and uppercase takes extra key presses - especially on mobile - and extra effort to remember too, so what are you winning there?). Also, hackers usually don't give a fuck about strong passwords since you usually have a whole list of accounts to choose from and look for weak ones.

Nothing has intrinsic value. Nothing. All there is are fiat currencies.
Also, I guess by failure you mean that they thrive and are used by 99% of the world population every day to do nearly everything?
Yes, but adding a chinese translation didn't work with the Slashdot unicode support.

And I wonder when Slashdot commenters will get how certificate infrastructures work these days... I guess neither of us will get lucky.

Individuals? Not many.
For mid to large size companies that need the resolution for something worthwhile, they may buy a screen.
what makes you say church performance use is noncommercial? maybe it is, maybe it isn't, nobody knows.
free for amateurs: to do what exactly? if you ask your lawyer, probably the same as regular copyright
free for charities: nope, and that has been proven in court. for charities it's the same as for everyone else.
free for pros to sing at their kitchen table: same as copyright
but not free if you're going to sell it: or do anything else outside of copyright allowed things
nonprofit educational use is already exempt in regular copyright under fair use. noncommercial it is probably not, until they define noncommercial.
So you just want normal plain copyright? That's fine, but I don't see why there should be an CC logo on that.

I never get this kind of map. If you take their logic, Netherlands should already be flooded. As far as I can see from my window, it isn't.
Higher sealevel just means building some infrastructure against flooding.
