How about when a Judge in KY orders the domain names of companies to be transferred to the State of Kentucky. I don't mean just redirection the DNS lookup, but changing the ownership?
Or some places where the interstate is raised, and there is a local road *UNDER* the interstate, with stop lights. If you only look at lat/long on the GPS, it would look like there are a bunch of cars stopped in the middle of the interstate. The altitude would have to be accurate to within about 15 feet to positively say which road you are on. (I think I-70 a bit east of I-25 in Denver is like this)
Another issue, at least with my Garmin Venture CX GPS is signal reflections. I was on a mountain in CO at about 12,000 feet, and due to reflections my GPS thought I was bouncing all over the place, at one point saying I was at -1000 feet of altitude up to almost a mile away from where I actually was. That is with a dedicated GPS sitting on my shoulder, with no metal cage around me on an open hill side.
That is true, but wouldn't you run into a major performance hit when running x86 software on other processors, assuming it didn't just blow up?
Seems like this would work between processors with a very similar ISA.
If they could run stuff compiled for one processor on another processor with a different ISA at near full speed,... that would change more than just virtualization. Run Wine on a PowerPC, emulate old consoles easily on a Pandora, etc..
Learning how to write AI is out of the scope of this article but the general idea is that the AI will press buttons just like the user does.
I hate games that don't do this. If the computer player and I are the same species, we should have the same limitations. Why should the computer player be able to do more stuff than a human player?
Ones rights end where another's begin. Your right to free speech doesn't mean you can set a sound truck in front of my house and blast your speech into my yard.
You do not have a right not to be offended.
There is no restriction of speech here, there is just a requirement that it be done through other channels. Make a DVD, and offer it to whoever, negotiate a channel on cable, etc.
Huh, you seem confused here. If there is no restriction of free speech here, why do I have to do it through other channels?
You're having a hard time with concepts. It's not a matter of what, but where. You have no right to broadcast anything you want into someone's home.
Again, if it is restricted, it isn't free speech.
If the license to broadcast was purchased from the FCC, then... yeah, I should have the right to broadcast anything into your home. The FCC shouldn't regulate content, only the channel.
Free speech "with no restrictions" means I could libel and slander without fear of legal retribution, incite a riot and laugh as people get trampled to death. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't like to see quite THAT level of unfettered free speech.
I agree with the first part. How could you have "free speech with restrictions", especially with respect to the first amendment?
Maybe I am being a bit to extreme, but I see "free speech" as speech without any limitations. Maybe we don't want free speech, but that is what the constitution says, and I really hate the "exceptions created by judges to the constitution", since that means that even a simple statement in the constitution can be change to mean.. nothing.
Ok, you claim that the airwaves are "public" and that means that censorship there is ok?
I would say the opposite is true: Since they ARE public airwaves, censorship there shouldn't be tolerated at all. Would public (through our representative government) has every right to restrict how they can be used being applied to a public place also be acceptable?
Limiting what content licensed broadcasters can send over the public airwaves is no more censorship
What the fuck? That IS ABSOLUTELY censorship. You are LIMITING what they can say. THAT IS CENSORSHIP. It is just censorship that you agree with.
Free speech means that I can say whatever the fuck I want to, with no restrictions. Add restrictions, and you no longer have free speech.
The FCC has authority to regulate speech on broadcast radio and television stations, but not the Internet, cable and satellite TV.
How?
The first amendment seems pretty clear that congress can't make any laws restricting speech, so how could it make a law delegating authority on speech either?
The FCC should ONLY be responsible for regulating who can use specific airwaves, not what can be sent over the airwaves. (And ideally the "who can use the airwaves" would be based on highest bidder to prevent any "you allow 'shit' and 'fuck' to be used on your program, you can't renew your license")
Hmm, torture: The food is packaged in throughly sealed blister packs, and they aren't given a knife, tin snips, band saws, thermal lances, etc. to open them.
Since X.org was first released in April 2004, what did you use between 2001 and 2004? I used Xfree86 until X.org had been out a little while; there wasn't any intermediate package. Then X.org switched to the modular package system.
Unless the government pulls another "we aren't going to tell you anyways", like they did in US v. Reynolds, as depicted in the book Claim of Privilege. Even getting an in camera review is a gain, so don't overlook that.
I wonder how the Great Firewall of America will be characterized?
Cops pretending to be 12 year old girls, and then arresting people in person and charging them with "solicitation of a minor", even though there wasn't any minors involved?
Or the RIAA members suing anyone that uses a file sharing application ex parte, trying to get most of the case over before the defendant has a chance to reply?
That might also be nice to use for head up displays in cars..
Um, I don't think you would want an e-paper type of display for a HUD. Usually they are drawn with lasers or LEDs on a sheet of glass, so that you can see through them.
What if there was a black hole, at this size limit, inside of a very dense cloud of gas?
Would it look like an enormous gas planet to an outside observer? If the gas cloud was dense enough, could fusion start, creating a star with a hollow region between the "star" part and the black hole, held in place by this "radiation pressure"?
Hmm, what if the external part started becoming solid? Would it be like a planet, but inside out with "gravity" provided by the pressure from the black hole? Of course the radiation on the inside would be huge. Would the outside have tolerable gravity levels, due to the empty space inside?
Heh, I think I have one sentence there that isn't a question.

I have 3 routers running Tomato:
2* Wrt-54GLs, one as a base station and the other as a client:
306 days, 20:34:49
267 days, 10:53:39
1 Buffalo WHR-G54S, which actually lives outside, in a sealed box:
152 days, 15:23:18
The 2 Linksus router get used for Bittorrent occasionally, with no issues that aren't related to antenna misalignment or interference.

Why not apply that model to what the FCC is trying to do, then?
People can only sue the broadcasters for ACTUAL harm received, not for 'being offended'.

Why is he considered black?
His mother is white, his father is black. Seems like he is as much white as he is black.
Or is the 'lesser' race more important?
To me, he is ... American.

You use base 3 and miss the best version, balanced ternary?
Although, I don't know how you would say it:
zero, one, one minus one, ten, eleven, one minus one minus one?
The fact that there is more than one "3rd party" is in and of itself is bad.
