The world would change greatly. Are you too old to not be excited by this perspective ?;-)
The problems you highlight may be very beneficial. Instead of waiting for problems to go away as people age, we would have to address them immediately. That could be good. Don't overthink the problems on which we completely lack data. One simple fact is there : today people die of aging. We have come to accept that but if it can be changed, it is unequivocally good.
Which is what Verisign do. From what I understand, your browser (or even the OS ? not sure about that) comes with a certificate that allows you to create a secure channel with verisign which then will give you the key to authenticate the challenged server. So, Verisign verification, matches your #2 through a #1 channel.
Am I saying something stupid or aren't company like Verisign providing a good way of preventing people doing man in the middle attacks on SSL ? Agreed, it is far from perfect, but with a self-signed certificate, what is to prevent a clever sysadmin to do mitm attacks ?
Just reinforce medical equipment against EM radiation. PRevent them from receiving and emitting unwanted radio waves. If an equipment can be disrupted by the faint field of an RFID, then it is probably very vulnerable to cellphones as well.
Also remark that in this law, the employer is responsible, not the particular person. I guess that is because in Japan many employees eat at their company restaurant for lunch and sometime dinner as well.
Gamers, the Linux community just doesn't care for them. Why do you think kernel developers want nvidia drivers to open ?
The OSS community cares for gamers but can't care too much for commercial games. Look around a bit, you'll find many OSS games. Strategy, FPS, action. There are also more and more commercial games that come with a linux version.
The niche of the "latest cutting-edge FPS with extra glitter and shaders 15.6 with 2X PhysX simulation" is today on windows, that's right. That's in part because graphical drivers sucks on linux. Open them, let them improve, and see what happens when OSS drivers become more robust than windows drivers.
I long for that day. All gamers are not coders but a lot of them are power users who configure their OS, mod their PCs. Linux is just made for their mindset.
Cyc corp, but it is already working for NSA, has the most advanced AI system I am aware of. I am not sure Cyc is an improvement over Eurisko, its predecessor, but well, it managed to make its creator raise a few dozen million dollars.
Also, dear DARPA official, don't you think that an AI researcher could have ethical reservation about working with the US Army ? I don't try to troll here, this story is already tagged 'skynet', don't you think that many AI researchers are very worried about the mix of military tools and AIs ?
Now that we learned since a few post that one can include images in the post, there are no excuses anymore to not post an image when the news is precisely about 2 frames of video.
Aaah yes, that old one. Everybody knows that the best defense is a good offense... since when ? When did we ever actually prove this ? This is a quote from Napoleon Bonaparte

Yeah, I say we remove any political references to stuff like DRMs and software patents. And no more Microsoft bashing. Thanks.
New tools require new skills. People tend to forget that about IT, I am not sure why.
Since when two links (to the same blog btw) are taken as a valid citation ?
Going backward while saving money is still going backward
And they live on planes, we'll have to design robotic planes too...
Once again, you'll have to choose for the candidate that goes backward the slowest...
The day they will open source ZFS will be when their next file system will be ready for sale.

Hmmmm, so it clearly creates a category of "unethical, unfundable scientists" aka "mad evil geniuses" ?

A large percentage of the population use a browser. Twitter only has to be used by people emitting informations.
No, I want /. to be able to compete efficiently with it.
There is only one image that is interesting, put it in the post !
Announcements of opening or obsolescence : I'll believe it when I'll see it.
Now that we learned since a few post that one can include images in the post, there are no excuses anymore to not post an image when the news is precisely about 2 frames of video.
You are currently modded +3, try harder, nerd.
Who was a famous general and dictator.
The budget of the Iraq war can be considered as a 100% (ok, let's be conservative and say that it was 5% defensive) offensive effort.
