A guy put some movies someone could already have recorded like ten years ago on a website that only diffuses it in a crappy quality ?
Does he claim to be the author ? Does he get a profit by this action ?
Does he deprive Fox of any revenue ?
Can you say it is legal for Fox to forbid users to time-shift their programs ?
If this is mugging, Fox is surely making forced sales...
I still find difficult to believe that there is less than 1% impact. We all know that the RIAA summon there studies from the outter reach of alternate reality but still, it is hard to admit that piracy and sales are totally decorrelated...
So 36 movies were released in HD format this month. Clearly, regular DVD are more popular by an order of magnitude. Until one of the HD format outperforms DVDs using this metrics, I wouldn't call the war over.
I had once read a study stating that most americans (90%) would have no problem to vote for a black president. They wouldn't have problems voting for a jew, a woman or an asian, so all of this has now become a non-issue. The only criterion that made a lot of people (50%) think twice was when they were asked if they would vote for an atheist candidate.
So, you can be any skin color, but you have to be a god-fearing american.
The article is slashdotted so I can't say for sure. But isn't this representation aiming at helping recognize and differentiate two genomes instead of finding information in it ?
... didn't France anticipated and even caused this a few month ago (and was subsequently bashed by/. for doing so) ? And before you say the linked article talks about Apple rather than the studio : read the articles, get in depth, they target DRMs, that disturb many people even in the aging political class.
Maybe American agencies are not used to non-ASCII characters, but I think they are a standard and mandatory feature of every Asian and European intelligence database. And as much as I like to bash American administration, I doubt that they don't have the necessary bridges to track an individual whose name is usually written in, say, arabic.
And this is something to be thankful for, because where would we go if people obeyed the letter of the law (or judgement) instead of their perceived spirit ?
That is why it is also a good thing for a good programmer to be able to discuss its products with customers. There is always a "culture clash" time when the user dismisses the new bleeding edge technology you have spent month putting in your product and just say. "The killer feature here will be drag'n drop".
Except every MS publication has a counter-part : many patent claims and unpublished results. You are right that computer hobbyists are those who are most angry at Microsoft : they would like to toy with MS technologies because they are widespread. CS researchers, however, generally use a different OS.
Computer scientists are that : scientists. They like openess, the ability to know exactly how the tools they are using work. They like software that can be used by the computer-scientific community to build better softwares. That is why Microsoft has such a bad reputation, and their business practices are loathed mainly for this reason : computer-science wise, they are a braking force. They have been like that in the past and they still are like this today.
I am not sure that Mr. Gates commitment to humanitarian causes should be related to Microsoft corporation. This is an individual decision. I must agree that I had to review my opinion about Bill Gates these last years. Microsoft, however, is still the biggest software-patent maker out there.
With the maximum resolution you can find enough information to plan escape routes, locate access stairs, maintenance hatches, and maybe in the case of a nuclear facility (I only speculate, I am no expert on this) locate the storage facilities of crucial and/or dangerous materials. So yes, it can help. Of course this shouldn't be the only measure taken and the blurring should only be a temporary measure taken to give time to correct any flaw that may become apparent on what used to be military-grade satellite imagery.
potential disaster ? yes waste of money ? certainly not
Right now, hundreds if not thousands of institutions have medical records containing private informations. Making each of these system secure individually is the real waste of money and resources. Given the technological background of the average doctor, I consider that the first one to scam him will be able to get to my infos. These data are already insecured, I see this initiative as a step in the right direction.
I have XP installation CDs. Not SP2, XP barebone. I had to reinstall. I made it once. I got Blaster in less than 5 minutes. Then I installed it again, this time with the network unplugged. I don't know how I could have downloaded the service pack without a knoppix CD at hand...

No, but there bias toward scientific studies and technical fact give most of them a good insight on IT debates.

It may even be handy to meet a lawyer *before* your brain surgery, you just never know...
Maybe there really are people who chose biology as a career because they wanted to help fight diseases...

Wasn't he dyslexic ? I have never heard a claim that he was an autist...

Especially considering it is easy to modify some openCV examples to get exactly the same results...

It seems like a strange state of affairs when a magazine can take people to space, but the USA can't."
Yeah, sure, because the magazine will use its own launchers and launching pad and won't turn to a third party to organize the trip...
Already done that when XP became pervasive. However I already had request at work asking about our Vista compatibility. *sigh*

Man, this is soooooo 20th century !

Now we know that if some factor threatens this bacteria existence, Some birds won't be able to find the sea easily.
Could or could not be of a crucial importance in ecosystem management.

Given the current paranoia, I would have posted it as AC. I mean, you never know, maybe the Boston police has a cyber-criminality department...
