What trick did they use to animate the wireframe ? If it took them a 3d manual digitizer to recreate the 3D model, how did they animate fingers ? Did they digitize every frame ? Were they already using skeletal animation ?
So, to be short, Assange was too condescending by asking the journalist if he would remember the password but not condescending enough when he thought the journalist could understand that a password is supposed to be kept as secret as the content it protects ?
Heh, I tend to consider them a bit too conservative myself:-)
So what do you recommend ? I use physorg for science news, hackernews for tech news (focuses a bit too much on web technology IMHO) and a slight dose of reddit...

The fact that journalists in this age and day do not know how to manipulate encrypted files still bewilders me.
Saying that git is resistant to this kind of problem is not a PR move, it is true. If the same was to happen to MS, we would laugh, of course, but acknowledge that the cryptographic and distributed nature of the repository they use makes it safe. However I doubt Microsoft uses something like git for managing its source code.
The only thing that can be done with an access to the repository is to append changes at the end of the tree. The repository of before 28th of august can not be stealthily compromised : it would change the hashes of versions and anyone with an uncompromised copy of the git history (ie, anyone using git for downloading the kernel source) will be able to see it.
These are two big flaws : it brings false positives and false negatives. Also, anyone can claim to be a copyright owner and force someone to remove a content. Wasn't it Lady Gaga who recently saw her official channel closed because of a request (quite possibly from her own lawyers ?)
You not only need a human but also a way to identify copyrighted material. Such a way doesn't exist. Copyright proponents have never bothered to give a way for honest people to go legit. There are no computer-exploitable catalog of copyrighted works, there is not even a coherent definition of what constitutes an infrigement or a copyrighted work.
Going legit has been made as impossible as going legal.
The catholics area are pretty bad and I have a doubt about your map of catholicism in Africa (South Africa has 7% of catholics and is marked at 0-4) as well as a doubt over its insightfulness : most people are religious in this region. The problem is when there is a national campaign for abstinence instead of contraception.
I don't understand why they build a spaceport on the airport model. The ticket is 200,000$, they would be expecting what ? 20 clients a year ? Make it 100... Airports' architecture is designed for big flows of passengers and is made to accomodate them using as few personnel as possible. Obviously on a space port you will have mainly rich clients that will expect a bit more service than in a regular airport...
It is not the motive of the rioters wannabe that worry me, it is the motive under which they are indicted. This was clearly free speech. "Let's kill Obama" has been recognized as free speech, "Let's burn Cheschire" as stupid as it sound, should not be illegal.
Where is the limit with political speech ? Is that forbidden to state the opinion that violent action is the only way to bring change in a corrupt system ? Not that I defend this opinion, but the fact that is is censored disturbs me deeply.
The fact that there are crazy deniers is not a good reason to not produce the best scientific results possible.
Also, the IPCC is a yearly review of past publications, it is normal that it has some lag. I used to be convinced by the criticism of their work until I actually read the full report. They do mistakes, they correct them. That's regular science. The horrible part is the redaction of the "summary for policy makers". They sum up 200 pages of reasonable extrapolations and doubts into a big "PANIC !" paragraph.
They are more like script kiddies, playing with buzzwords they do not understand, not even realizing how ridiculous they look. They wield potentially very destructive tools without understanding the consequences.

That's low, that is only twice the amount of storage that Von Neumann estimated the higher human brain to have.... Grmbl (1 billion bits, or 128 MB)

They lost a lot of support with their decision to switch to windows. It may have been the kiss of death
And yet, this post and his parent are modded at +5 with absolutely no other content than opinions. I guess that is why I come here less and less.

It's far from complete
any copyright owner can add their works

Anything a decent engineer can come up with when given the task to solve the problem at hand should not be patentable. Period.

"Stick to a single partner" is superior to "use condoms" as an individual strategy.
:
"Give free condoms" is superior to "tell people to have a single partner" as a government policy and far superior than promoting abstinence.
It has been proven in studies that the strategies in order of effectiveness are
- promote contraception
- do nothing
- promote abstinence.

Has anyone been prosecuted for that ?
Or I live in a "socialist" European country.
Of course you can. That is a loophole voluntarily left open.
You don't like to know which one can buy the most senators ?

Since when do we consider that the gaming industry is exploring a single gameplay at the time ?

I wonder why in this day and age cryptographic signature is not more prevalent.
