Yah cause intercepting nukes just is soo wrong, you will change your opinion if some piddling country launchs an emp nuke from a cargo ship and shuts this country off like a switch. What good is all that computer science education when the highest form of tech in this country is a shovel.
I looked at that title and said, ok oh cr*p the government is going to regulate blogs like they have been talking about doing. Then doing something I rarely do, I read something other than the headline. I guess we get to keep a modicum of freedom of speech for awile longer.
If it can be deflected the same system could be used to aim the asteroid at a target on earth. 20 tons is nothing really the hubble is 12.75 tons, so 2 hubbles and your there.
This is what the internet would be if the corps. could turn back the clock and if they created the "internet". One seemless money making mechanism. No blogs, No free speech, No talking back to the corporations, No bad little net users giving them the finger just lots and lots of consumers assuming the position and saying thank you sir !
A search for "Linux" at msn search comes up with 90,043,606 while at google comes up with 445,000,000 so yeah I think we know where microsoft is going with its search engine.
Considering the history of US tech lawmaking I'm kinda suprised they dident screw this up too and give it away thinking that "oh boy this will make everbody like us again whoo hoo!". Get over it the rest of the world has -never- liked us unless we were giving them foreign aid.
Where did you pluck that "THE JURY ABUSING ITS POWER" I've never seen any trial where the Judge overturned a "not guilty" trial verdict, perhaps "guilty" verdicts but never not guilty ones, either come up with cases or I declare you full of crap.
More than likley the rest of the world is afraid someone will get really pissed at the US and pop a nuke in orbit frying every server (and every car, and blender made after 1975) thereby wacking thier economys as well.
Probably Archimedis built the thing well in advance so that any ship that came into the harbor could be targeted. That would give him the time to build big enough to do the job, also it will allow a very limited traverse a plus when engineering the thing. When not in use the mirrors could be covered.
I know we all "trust" google but as a web application some or most of the components are going to be on thier servers, does this mean that all my documents are transmitted to them (spellcheck, grammercheck etc) before I get to print them? If I was paranoid I would say this is a perfect place for the GOV to sit and sift for keywords of "interest".
Not that I am saying Google would do it willingly.
1. Customers win as there are better cheaper choices
2. Google wins because well just because they are google
3. Microsoft because they can now say they have competition
This is already happening, as functions of the pc are co opted by smaller dedicated devices, mp3 players, pdas for contact storage and other devices. Its long been known that J6P doesn't need 512mb of video ram or a terabyte of disk storage and as the capabilities of "phones" increases this will become a viable option. Unfortunately this is probably what the content providers really want, a movement away from general purpose computers that give users too much control over the content that they buy. Os and device managers will be able to lock in proprietary file types and of course the OS themselves. No not the end of the personal computer just the end of the general computer.
This is what you get without a constitution, any freedoms or rights that you enjoy are at the largesse of the state, and although here in the US our rights are being violated on a regular basis there is the hope that the constitution will at least act as a break on the Federal government's campaign against it's citizens civil libertys.
Of course they need a national digital archive since the death of the general purpose computer has been already decided non DRM'd content at some time in the future it will no longer be accessable. We must protect the corporate entities by making sure that only government has access to non DRM'd content.
Yeah ! and to power it put a bi metallic strip on it and stick in in your mouth to generate power. Course youd have to keep it in your mouth all the time which would be in keeping with some geeks I know.
Its either
1. A real solution to energy storage and one of the greatest inventions of
all time. 2. Not i.e. overhyped product with a very poorly writen
webpage. vaporware anyone:)
Let me know when everybody figures it
out.
Hmm, I guess the screen captures are going to be a viable option for this content, with the newer small digital camcorders you should be able to capture decent vids. (not that I would do that of course)
Even though the article says these are "test boxes" apple should see that wIthout DRM they would have the perfect weapon to gain market share. The difference between heavily restricted wintel boxes and non DRM Apples will be apparent even down to the level of J6P. Would this leave Apple as the only "General computer" left? A more accross the board move to Apple could even be a boon to linux as more people accept the fact that there are options to wintel (or at least options to Microsoft). Americans generally only get upset at the loss of Freedom when those it is the kind of abrupt in your face taking that DRM represents.

Their Web server is set up to let Google searches through. So if it sees a referrer URL coming from Google, it will let it through. Therefore:
1. Copy link location
2. Open up Google.
3. Paste the URL into Googles search page. Click Search.
4. Googles search results give you a link to the URL you just pasted in.
5. Click that link. Voila, the NY Times Web server sees a referrer URL coming from Google and lets you in.

As we live in a capitalistic society this of course means the end of Microsoft as an os providor as people generally don't want to buy crap (tm). I mean who would "want" to buy this?! I hope Linux is ready for the desktop (at least for Joe SP) when this rolls out because this is THE chance for linux to explode into the market.
I guess not only information wants to be free, students do as well. What a bitch for the tyrannical albeit wussie school officials who need cops and judges to enforce school rules that they cant. Unfortunalty things have gone so far in this country that they probably will be charged and therefore destroyed.
