Well, there are plenty of countries where Google could sue Microsoft for using that code... But on any country that I've looked at, doing what you said would be a crime and would get no money to Google.
But, ok, if it is caused by heat, it may be due to eletricity, you have a point... Or entropy, of all weard things, entropy is the worst ofender, so it MUST be entropy.
Yep, I misreaded it. When you said "asks you to contact support for further assitance", I instinctively assumed the support was paid. I can think companies may try to satisfy their customers, but ISP doing so is such an exotic concept, I didn't grasp it at first. That is bad:(
Well, ok that is the market they want to cover. But I disagree that it has any measurable size. First, you'll have to have your PC and printer turned on, that is messing with a PC. Then, you'll have to discover that email address, and mess with a phone (what is harder than messing with a PC) by sending the email. Given that you are in front of your PC (required for turning it on), why don't you just plug the phone and print the photo?
Now, I guess the reason mobile devices don't normaly come with printer drivers is that you don't carry your printer with you. Taking a picture far from home, and sending it home for printing isn't very compeling. One'll probably want to have the printed document NOW. That can't be done. Obviously, somebody will find a use for printing things at home while far away, it is just not a big market, and can already be filled with current printer and some simple software right.
"hey also tend to make so much product, it starts making economic sense for them to automate/mechanize all sorts of processes that allow hiring cheaper labor (employees who don't need as many skills or as much intelligence, because they're pressing a button or pulling a level repeatedly, instead of *understanding* how to do whatever process happens as a result). That leads to a lot of low-paying jobs, vs. a relatively small number of higher-paying ones."
You have the consequences of automation exactly backwards.
"I can't tell you how many times that I have looked something up, then found an interesting link, and ended up learning about some tangent idea as well."
Now, that doesn't beat a nice wonder through a library, where you can look for several books and learn much more deep things. But that isn't a problem, since the library is still there, we now have both.
The DLL is part of Acrobat Reader. I've never saw a Linux that ships with Acrobat, but it is available for most of them (on some it is just a click away). Anyway, very few people do use Acrobat on Linux, unless you are one of those few that got out of your way to install it, it is not an issue.
"i think we need to model the intelligence of the othercars, in a min/max way, so you can figure out what the most probable thing is that the other cars could do next"
And all that time I tought the drivers on the street had a colaborative goal to stay alive and don't destroy their cars... But your sugestion makes a lot of sense.
If you can replace dot product for any other operator, you can do almost all image processing and computer vision too. And now, that I'm thinking about it, operational research too, and most of numerical calculus.
That means, it will be a killer for anything besides what normaly runs on a desktop. AMD will still have to wait for a good application.
Well, I'm not the GP, but he probably meant power consuption. Adding buffers do increase the power consuption (and big buffers, the ones needed for I/O have big consuption). Also, you are right, that it will increase latency, but that can be pipelined into a non-issue in a lot of cases (I don't know if GPUs are one of them).
Not yet mentioned is the problem of clock synchronization. In order to deal with an external bus, that the size is unknown by the chips designers, you need a logic* chain of buffers. Those buffers could be small, not increasing the power consuption too much, but they must be numerous, making the latency problem worse.
* You don't need several buffers. Just 2 of them arranged in a way that the signal passes from one to the other several times will do. The more logic buffers you have, the smaler is the chance of getting an wrong reading. The less physical buffers you have, the less you can pipeline them, but the smaller is the power consuption.
Anyway, you shouldn't be able to measure that energy lend over time. Every time you look at, the energy must appear to be conserved, all you can measure are consequences of the particle having extra energy on the past, but not anymore. So, the uncertainty principle can't explain the neutrino changing. It is probably better explained by it losing some kynetic energy (then, what happened to momentum, did it interact with matter?).
Humm. No, the average ratio MUST be 1.0. Otherwise there are ghost computers downloading or uploading things on your network.
That is not to say that you shouldn't encorage people to get a ratio of 1.5. Only that, as you said, some people will have a reatio of 0.5 because of that.
$1500 is a reasonable punishiment. Asking people to pay them the $1500 or spend $10,000 on court to discover if they are guilty is more like extorsion. Well, I guess it is not extorsion by the letter of the law, because for the Law, everybody have access to the Justice. The problem is that it isn't true.
So, we have to fix the Justice. Still, it is easy to blame the ones exploiting the flaw, instead to the ones possessing the flaw.

Well, one of the two options, I guess. Currently, none apply.
By the way, I'm not for a cap on CEO's earnings. I'm not either for making hing responsible for things he did not interfere into. But nowadays, most CEOs aren't to blame even on their direct orders. That's wrong.
"Hopefully these devices will be a lot more idiot-proof than netbooks."
That thing is not idiot-proof. It is for children, and built in a way to survive them, but not idiot-proof. The designers even expect the children to learn Python.
"If the average person knew how much of their money went to mpeg-la and Dolby it would be staggering."
Let's keep things on perspective. That is quite a small industry, the average person gives them very little money. It is just that they are a kind of thugs specialized on making noise, and most of the noise appears on areas that we are interested on.
They are transcoding video and creating DVD interfaces. Well, now I must point that k3b does the same:) but the latter can't be distributed on the US (at least the modules that transcode video) because of exactly those same patents.
Well, SSL is useless if you don't check the URL. This attack doesn't change that.
I guess most experient users (the ones that have several tabs oppened) already know that. If not, it's time for education. I guess they also check the URL of their bank before entering passwords.
There is an imediate stop, that spans 10 minutes. Then the trading is restored. The automated trader can't do its trading during the time the exchange is closed, and everybody can trade after it opens again.
It is a pretty common arangement. Most exchanges have used circuit breakers for a wile, it smooted a few crisis already. That said, I don't think it is enough anymore.
Taxing buy and sell orders that are too close together would also apply a low pass filter to the market, and will not create moral problems by denying information to the traders.
A tax that is of 70% - 80% of the price difference for orders that are separated by 1ms or less, reducing linearly to 0 to orders that are 1 minute apart could do the trick;)

Your email address is a good initial bet. It is public, you know.
You mean... Their cut your connection, and will only restore it if you pay some extra fees? They'd better not do any mistake and cut a clean machine.
You have the consequences of automation exactly backwards.
