I thought it had been proven that quantum computation was a pipe dream (you can't physically compute 2^N operations with less than 2^N atoms). Is the hypothesis still considered plausible ?
... in America.
This week China became #2 economy in the world. Don't you think America that it is time to worry about keeping up with innovation, USA ? You won't top Chinese labs with lawyer companies.
So many thanks for the billions of wasted man-hours that were spent on supporting your badly implemented standards and attempts at world dominance.
Oh, how is silverlight doing, by the way ?
I would also add that if your datasets are like mine (enormous), it may be a good idea to md5 them. Have a log file where you enter information about each file : its creation date, its md5, nature of data, source, etc...
Do not use name or path hierarchies to keep track of metadata, it is doomed to fail. If you feel this is worth the effort you can set up a database for this info but in my opinion if you have hundreds to thousands files, a simple flat file can be good enough.
Codec patents are not legal everywhere. And the places where they are not legal will probably have a monopoly in a lot of awesome things that are to come.
I can see this as an argument against providing electricity to every household in US but obviously you worked around these problems a few decades ago. I don't see how sparse population is more favorable to fossil fuel...
Okay, here is what needs to be done, spread the word : People who go to Mile High Music Festival with their cellphone have the risk of it being seized. you may be one of the happy 200 winners of an abuse of copyright enforcement. I hope the music and the price of the ticket were really worth it.
Competition or government-funded service ? In one case you have to trust them to provide a good service and in the other you have to trust them to prevent vendors lock-in. Competition is not automatically good, sometimes it create many abusive local monopolies. If there must be a monopoly somewhere, I prefer it to be run by the government.
By the way someone who wants to track a car can use these very convenient numbered plaques visible in front and in the back of the car with only a cheap camera and on-the-shelf software.
I wonder however if a bad pressure signal could be forged, forcing the car to stop ?
I think you can sue for a "right to response" that must have the same treatment as the initial accusation. Here in France, some celebrity magazines often have to add a banner on their covers following a justice decision stating things like "Ms A. has been acquitted by justice of the child molesting claims, more on page 24.". However the editors frequently consider this as a danger to the freedom of the press...
Just my 2 cents : if you are using PS3 Eye webcams to do computer vision (the only webcam I know of that can refresh at 120Hz for less than $40) , this is not a very good news as a there is a bug in their driver for this webcam that is only solved in 2.6.34. But well, you know how to compile drivers, right ?;-)
If the tissue is correctly located, it "knows" into what it should differentiate thanks to morphogens :

These are substances emitted only in specific parts of the body and their concentration at a given place is the hint a cell use to know which kind of behavior it must adopt.
I personally consider moral to do the opposite : provide for free a service to an organization you approve of, make pay organizations you disapprove of. I am not sure how this "moral bankruptcy thing" works.
Another leaked source confirmed that there would be a mac and linux version, as well as an open-source version. That makes it clear that this software will never happen.
He doesn't say all about his plans: He really plans on living on the top of the frickin highest building on the whole red planet, to see all the minions whose life depend on his whim, to laugh maniacally and to glare dastardly at the crescent Earth while shouting on a defiant tone : "YOU'RE NEXT, BITCH ! BWAHAHAHAHA !"
The source of scarcity of resources is unchecked demographics.
The source of unchecked demographics is the fact that being more numerous is a military advantage when a tribe wants to overwhelm another tribe.
Therefore, we have to have a demographic policy that aims at a stable population, it needs to be globally coordinated, therefore we need to stop bitching about nationality and adopt a global reform.

IT works out to everyone's advantage and I agree this is a good practice. You can still be sued however.

If it is like my country (France), he needs a paid job in a registered newspaper to be recognized as a journalist.
The kind of people who complain about the private data they posted on Facebook are seen by millions. So the answer would be : far too many.

At 10^-35 meters, that leaves us a lot room...
And being certain about something that comes from uncertainty principle makes me feel confused...
I guess that from my point of view, that is located in Europe, being un-American is not really the thing I care most when I am forming opinions.
For building infrastructure, anarchic capitalism is good. For maintaining them, you need a good ol' government.

Of course it can, especially combined with the new bounties on successful whistle-blowing : http://community.nasdaq.com/news/2010-08/whistleblower-law-could-payout-millions-for-tips-on-fraud.aspx?storyid=31840
That is at least $100,000 for you if the damages reach the lilliputian amount of 1 million dollars. I have seen dumber hobbies for interns at big companies...

Give me internet and a hackerspace.
The only thing it will not provide to me is a fancy piece of paper called "diploma" that recruiters think is important.

Now THAT's scary !
