Just wondering, this has nothing to do with MS Windows, right ? I was just confused while reading the begining of the article, wondering what a "windows film" could be...
I often see this argument on/. and I always answer the same thing : this law exists because a majority of German people (and French people, we have the same law) wants it. After the war there has been a lot of nazi apologists here. People wanted to shut them up. I agree that now this law is kind of outdated in France and should be abandoned to let historian do a critical job on the Holocaust which is impossible as of today but there is still a strong neo-nazi movement in Germany.
I think that a majority of people still agree with this law as well as the law which punish "public encouragement to murder or racial hate". The public statement "kill all nigger" can also land you to jail and people are okay with it because they consider that someone who wants other people to be killed violates some of the core principles of the Republic.
I also want to state that both of these statements are okay if you are speaking with friends our some people privately. It is the public statement of "war crime apology" and "incitement to murder or racial hate" which is punishable by law.
Anyway, reverse engineering for compatibility purpose is protected by law in several European countries but you know, when we try to make a law to force compatibility between devices, this is dubbed a "anti-iPod, anti-Apple" law...
I would add that Michael Moore's film and website will have a high page rank because of all the buzz and health care insurance will have their message displayed in the "sponsored link" area. The message will be something like "Okay here is the video you searched about bad practices in some big insurance companies and here is also the message big insurance companies wanted to deliver to you but they had to pay money for that because they are not popular enough"
The research for new medications usually result in expensive drugs so they are usually targeted at a first-world market. A lot of R&D is also done to lower the cost of known medication that could prevent millions of deaths but that are just too expensive today.
Well if I were a PC vendor, the first question I would be asking to myself is "Will one day MS voluntarily break its OS to only work correctly on MS computers ?" like it did to enter in so many market. Doing it now would be an incredibly stupid move but if/when they manage to get a decent market share, this could indeed by a tempting strategy for them.
Don't forget kids : a bombing is a TERROR act and we are at war against TERROR right ? Everytime a bomb explodes somewhere, this is these Al-Quaida rascals who organized everything ! Trust us, we know their modus operandi, that's how we arrested so many of them. Don't forget also to report any student curious about things outside his field and who enjoy to get out of USA, that's very suspicious.
Well, that's the idea about the Technological Singularity. Once the whole production chain for a product is fully automated, it only costs energy to produce it. Ag products are supposed to come first because they use very few raw materials. Once the whole energy production chain has been automated, we reach a point where no one has to get paid to get the job done. What will happen to the economy then ? Optimistic people like me think that society will provide everyone with the necessity items that will by then have a negligible cost. So to answer these questions:
1. Migrants are not coming to get jobs. They are coming to find a better situation. A situation where one can get a free meal is probably better than a lot of place.
2. I'll find a leisure occupation, will try to not care about redundancy and eat apples.
I suspect you should not count dollars per hour but dollars per ton of product harvested. The article shows machines with 8 arms, three meters high (hence no need for ladders). So I suspect the productivity gain to be worth the maintenance cost.
waste of money ? Well now it works there. They could wait 5 years for the standards to become stable and widespread, but that would make 5 promotions of student not benefiting from this. I see a rationale behind the notion that students should have access to bleeding edge technology, I see this as a reasonnable spending by this university.
You can't put a "Free meal" label on the front of your restaurant if you don't provide free meals.
You can't put a "Open Source" label on your software package if you don't provide the source.
This is not about trademark infrigement, this is about deceptive marketing. The OSI has a good position to make such attacks, but anyone could do so, on the same ground.
I suspect that they will not only have wheel but also cameras. THAT would make them useful as an occupation tool. (Of course it should absolutely not be tolerated outside a battlefield and any citizen should be authorized to destroy them during peace time). For a SF vision of this sort, you can check this SF webcomic. In fact the idea seems to come directly from it...
From a bit of quiet gossip, both Russia and America has conducted experiments of sex in space (mir and ISS). Be careful, there have been some hoaxes around about that. In particular, I have been unable to find any evidence of american experience about it (russians are more secretive) There have been plans, but probably no real experiment.
I must add that this is the most commonn excuse for internet filtering. Chinese official say their main goal is to "protect" citizens from pornography.
Point taken.
It still would be interesting to see a kernel patch project that would add this useful feature to the kernel and watch it being kept away because of a license disagreement. Maybe it would point out the absurdity of all this. There would be one project that wold be legal and one that would work better.
Anyway a way to make Sun react would be to license this project under the GPL
Well I think the mains point of this story is that it kills the mood. The voice of a 11 years old used by a 50 years old mage could possibly make disbelief suspension fail.
The next killer-feature will be a live voice-changer. As far as I know, it is working in the labs, but I don't know the CPU requirements of these...

Yeah, true. And I don't want to see any patent-related or censorship-related issues on /. either.
Ok, maybe not really a tech news, but they patrol on a ship with a Jolly Roger flag ! That IS news for nerds !

"Computer, object [BlackChair477719819172] just broke but it was great. I want to buy the same one. Or something close enough. Do it."
This is not about giving an identifier to every object, this is only the basis to be able to express and collect data about them.
Be fair, some of them listen to gangsta music...

Do I get karma points to spread this slogan ?
What could be the secret of Soylent Green ?
Well, I'm considering going there quickly before it becomes worse !

Agreed. The only application I can think of here is meteorology simulation in case of disaster relief from a hurricane or a flood.

The main difference between tomatoes and apples or orange is that you can destroy the tomato plant during the harvest, they are grown again each year.
