Yes! Drug-trafficking, immigration, etc. These things would become totally unmanagable.
And what about stupid teenagers that run out of gas in the middle of the atlantic?
But even though the technology wouldn't be publicly available, that is not to say that it won't be useful for some purposes.
Furthermore, who needs justification for cool technology to exist?
I just read this comment further down:
"He knows he's just farting into the wind and he's simply doing it to stink things up and hoping that he isn't standing there when he lets one go and the wind changes."
And I think I must agree with you that he indeed needs to "clear the air".
"Getting an intellectual property interoperability framework between the two worlds, I think, is important."
I don't know why but this sentence seems to reflect how poorly Balmer understands free software. I think I know people like that. They seem to think that any "system" that distributes money to people is just as important as any technology behind that money. So, maybe there is not necessarily any evil intent behind his words, maybe it's just a fundamental misunderstanding of a man that has lived his whole life thinking that money is the most important thing in the universe - and therefore assumes that everyone, including Red Hat and the rest of the linux / open source / free software / etc. thinks the same way.
Spammers rely on sending their messages to millions.
Surely that will get noticed, and eventually traced.
Drug dealers rely on not too many knowing about
their activities.
In short, it will be more easy to fetch spammers.
And I think their clients can't afford to do
anything that is outright illegal, as opposed to
bending the law now an then.
This, combined with a virus detector would really bring a whole new dimension (literally) to virus protecting!
I imagine little green disgusting creatures... and worms, there'd have to be worms, eating away your Stuff and then you'd... you'd... I think you can picture the rest...
Yeah, I'd like to draw something like "the ever-widening, ubiquitous melancholy feeling in mind and in the universe", since google won't find it with the normal method.
Would taking classes in "abstract art" help me with this?
I'd go with B) if:
a) you're using a magnet and
b) your trash can contains Hydrocloric acid (or radioactive waste - but i've learned that leaving that kind of stuff in your trash can isn't very good for your health).
Oh, you're talking about the windows environment. Then it would probably create a "Shortcut to floppy" in your trash.. *ahem* recycle bin.
Humans can make music using computers. Computers can't make music using computers.
Or even radio stations.
The very idea is disgusting. Has people forgot how good real and sincere music, played live by people playing it for the love of it sounds like? This only reminds how disgutingly consumer-based our society is.
This is REALLY interesting, and a terrible fact. Has this only been a problem with rock music?
Has anyone tried to find out if there's any difference between labels? It would be very interesting to see which one makes the LOUDEST RECORDS.
If I were to name one record I think best handles audio quality, it would be "kind of blue" by Miles Davis. But that's jazz, anyway. And I'm no expert (I just play in a jazz band:-) ).
Greeks made some discoveries in geometry. But very little in other fields. They lacked our number system, so number theory was quite the pain. With the roman number system, this was even worse. On top of that, most of the mathematical knowledge of the greeks came from the pythagoreans, but they wouldn't let anyone in on their discoveries. So their knowledge died with them.
In the middle ages people weren't very interestes in mathematics
Then we finally get descartes, Euler, Fermat end those dudes, who finally got the math ball rolling. But it didn't get REALLY interesting until in the twentieth century.
In that light, mathematics, at least modern mathematics could be considered young in the beginning of this century.
I have a very good security trick when it comes to credit card numbers. I use a number for some time... then forget it. Happens mostly when I run out of money. Then I go down to the bank and ask for new one. I get another one within few days.
That works, and I don't even have to remember anything - actually, NOT remembering is essential.
Now, since there is no evidence of the grennhouse-effect "theory" failing,
because it takes a rather long time to wait and see, I will stick to
earthquakes.
You do agree that global weather is at LEAST as complex as earthquakes, don't
you?

There is a slight possibility that there will be an earthquake tomorrow. Somewhere. Shouldn't we leave our cities and find a safe place to avoid the possible crisis?
There are just so many things that COULD happen, we can't be prepared for them all, especially when most of them DON'T happen. So is IS important to have very strong evidence that something is going to happen, and it certainly isn't there yet.
This reminds me of an incident in St. Louis 1990. Some dude (I don't remember the name) had predicted an earthquake that year based og the alignment og the sun and moon. The city was just about evacuated. And of course there was no earthquake.
I wonder when they will start accepting what chaos theorists have been saying for over 30 years now! They do have a tremendous amount of theory to explain such phenomena as temperature fluctuations (and of course, how it is connected to the stock market:) ). This also shows, wheather we can trust this article or not, that nobody has any idea whatsoever wheather the greenhouse effect exists or even what it really is.
This requires a whole lot of study, before anyone can make any conclusions. And even though environmenatalists are fighting for a good cause, most of them have no idea what they are talking about!
Why do I always hear "This earthquake (or another) strikes every 1000 years". Earthquakes are not that predictable. So, no, the eathquake will not be there in 2000 years, it could be thera ANYTIME. No one in history has ever predicted an earthquake with a sufficient notice. I wonder when they will let go of the old geologists fantasy of "earthquake prediction".
That's not exactly true. Ideal science might be, but in reality, no. Science is and has always been a product of scientists ans therefore in the power of their ambitions, opinions and ideals. Science is also not just a collection of data, but also the interpretation af that data. And who does the interpretations? Scientists. And scientists are human, after all.

That could be the reason chaos theory and, more important, complexity theory is getting popular among scientists. Just as we are grasping how amazingly complex nature is, we are developing methods for dealing with it.
"Order the CD NOW!" So, if you would spot an alien, would you start burning CD's with the images and sell them for a few dollars. Hope not!
And I've seen too many of those, too many people say they have seen aliens. I once sent an e-mail to a site like this, asked them "how the space-ship could have travelled faster than the speed of light" as was said in the article. They never answered.
I mean... how can we believe people who say they have seen aliens when so many do - and their stories obviously contradict each other. If I decided to believe in aliens, not only would I have to believe that they were orbiting our planet right now, but that there were actually various types of aliens orbiting our planet! And that's just a bit too incredible.
Just look into a book store, you will find at least one book about people who have seen aliens. As I say - too many!

It is a bit weird shooting a computer game, at least the computer game you are playing at the moment.
Oh, yes, this game comes with self-centered violence
