You definitely have missed RMS' entire point on the thinking about patent law needs to be dealt with separately from copyright law. He specifically writes to credit Boldrine and Levine arguments on patent law - NOT copyright law.
We have RFID tags in our passports already, so they are already moving us towards electronic IDs. It's a foregone conclusion that the type of ID done for international flights will eventually crop up in domestic travel as well, for better or worse.
I microwave any RFID they dare to put in my papers. So should you.
"oh? no workee? I have a magnetic personality. Electronics just fail around my person."
um, this counts as cracking their encryption. Just because you can't efficiently perform a "cleartext" digital translation (it is analog sound...) doesn't mean you can't read the message.
And now that Microsoft has bought them for 8.5 billion: LMAO.
What's the next hottest crack target? THIS. Obviously it will be owned, and abused for spam.
Either that, or it will be owned by a ~11yo and everyone, everywhere will get "an urgent message form the president" which is actually a picture of his thing. * or hers; equality.
Is there a rule # for this? Surely there is? If it has eyeballs, it will be spammed, or porned.
And somewhere is Rule #1337: If you build it big enough, it will be cracked in an inversely related fractional amount of time it took to 'perfect'.
ColdFusion for systems management automation?? What the hell? that's so off-base, I'm offended. Whatcha going to do, install coldfusion on EVERY system you are going to automate? Bizarre.
The sad lack in modern education is history. One reason our modern politics is so thoroughly screwed up is that a high quality understanding of history has been lost to the general population for a century.
I was looking hard to see if anyone had a glimpse of why greek and latin are important to education. You almost nailed it.
We've lost the art of teaching of how to think. The gentlemanly Greek and Latin were taught towards skills in reading texts, not in conversing to Joe Greek on the street about how he feels today; the pupil is then empowered to read many great and early works documenting the foundation and thought, and its progression, that form the fundamentals of our knowledge in philosophy, government, sciences and mathematics. Reading the literature of the time in the original source language conveys the subtext much more fluidly, thus enabling full comprehension. Individual languages are colored by the culture speaking it: Much is lost in translation. If you are to understand how to think, and achieve parity with where we have already tread in thought, then you need to understand first-hand how we arrived at the present knowledge, complete with the traps and tangents, not just the right answer. You learn how temporary some right answers are, giving you the humility and perspective to grow beyond the works of mankind thus far.
I would submit the math requirements are common in the core requirements of any Bachelor of Sciences degree, rather than specific to a Computer Science major.
If you don't want to master basic college-level math to earn a sciences degree, then perhaps you should be lobbying academics to offer a Bachelor of Arts with a Applications Development major instead.
Gladly took those troll points to point out how extremely stupid the subject matter is: truly a troll technology. Plus all the horrors of grammar mistakes in the bits of the post Timothy is responsible for: " Ski Lifts Can Could Help Get Cargo Traffic Off the Road "... except instead of excerpt.
Stop the snow job.
He's a military intelligence vet and a man with a Poly Sci degree. So what if he's unemployed after he leaves the service? It's tough out there.
The ABC interview was a butchering.

Happy Towel Day

· Score: 1
P.S.: Oh, and don't dare to taint towel day with the lamest drawn character of all time. You know who I mean. That one of South Park infame.
Amazing how some of y'all just don't get the homage of the towelie character to HGTTG.
As far as I can tell, this idea that somehow this could become a supervolcano and an extinction event seems completely unsupported by the AC's post...
So please, could I have one cite from a scientist even possibly suggesting that? What was said by the software engineer in the examiner blog isn't supported by anything other than his assertion... and only really by his metaphor of calling it a volcano of oil.
I call this talking out of his ass unless more can be presented.
I would think because Adobe doesn't want thousands of people pointing and laughing at their source code. Not to mention all the refactoring they'd need to perform to get around serious issues that remain undiscovered in its closed source form.
That'd be a hell of a smoking gun... if introduction of a Roundup2/soybeanRR2 comes soon... But... Is it even illegal?
I'm having trouble thinking of a civil tort that would apply.
I'm about to old man it, but we are not advanced enough to be mass deploying genetically engineered foods, pesticides & weeds. We'll end up doing what the nukes never did, but slowly: Leaving the whole surface dust.
I'd like the evolution deniers to come explain this.
Yes, it only takes two successive reproductions for the resistance mutation to be successful. And pretty soon it's spreading all over the land mass. Billions and billions of chances for the right mutation to have occurred since the resistant crops and Roundup spraying combination was introduced. Roundup takes care of all the competition in the gene pool pretty efficiently!
I just pray that the evolution deniers that couldn't forsee this don't conclude that an engineered virus is the best way to dispatch weeds next. Yeah, those never evolve and cross-over to species. Say corn and wheat? Oh, they'll just "patch that" with new virus-resistant corn and wheat? Sure. Because corporate profits should surely trump biodiversity in crops.
Perhaps a little legislation and regulation to make sure we don't make the planet die?
But fp is, by nature, slightly imprecise. Really, Really Small numbers would get lost in the noise.
No, they don't. Read the article posted earlier today for more information.
Now wait, you should know full well that "really, really" small numbers in single precision that are smaller than 0.00000x10^-126 are going to get lost.
Good thing that its posted AC. It's not an original work. But it has also been passed around a lot, minor refinements made, and without attribution since it was authored. The short essay is apparently originally titled I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL
But seems to be more less plagiarized or inspired (depending on your P.O.V.) by a short rant in July 2004. Also found at michaelmoore.com August 2004, by John Gray, Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican. But, I think the original author is generally unknown.

You seem to be hung up on what is legal and required in the United States. It's a big planet, my friend.

I wish I could say more... yes.

You missed the point when started referring to a gui window manager of any sort.
I moved to the south four years ago. Sometimes, I think the motto should be "The South: Afraid of Knowledge for over 200 years". FTFY.

What's the answer? 42.
Think about it for a minute.
And Don't Forget Your Towel.
Well that's called blackmail. I'm not sure you were trolling or not.
Well fuck us for giving a damn and materially supporting orgs like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).

And we should reflect for a moment, that somehow, somewhere, its thought of as legal to have a license agreement for a camera.

It's at least as old as September 09, 2009.
Found an older reference at reddit around August 08, 2009.
And somebody attributed that likely the original author posted to the Laissez Faire subforum on Something Awful (Jul 24, 2009) as randomnoise. Some attribution also to a 4chan post (but nothing older than SA post was found)

And then there's the Libertarian response in October 2004 to THAT titled Statist Joe by Gil Gullory, a Halliburton employee.
