Naked was great until we ate from the Tree of Knowledge (stupid women... they're inferior for a reason). Once we had knowledge, we could know shame and sin, and nakedness leads to sin, so on go the clothes.
And when that happens to everyone, society will learn that the shit on the Internet isn't to be taken as gospel. I give it 20-30 years, barring any unforeseen government coups or anything.
...latitudes and longitudes you have to retain forever? I think you're confused about how mapping works. An infinite number of latitudes and longitudes existed well before Google. Well before the USA and computers, for that matter.
The problem is one of the lowest common denominator... SMS is the smallest limit, so Twitter is set up to allow SMS to post, and to never go over that limit. If you don't like it, make a competitor. The thing is, the format also forces you to be concise and think a bit about what you want to get across without a ton of garbage (such as in my post here), so it's not a completely bad thing.
Yeah, seriously. I mean, why should we pay money to the Isle of Man to use their resource, AKA domain name, that they aren't using all of? The audacity of people to pay money for something they want, and the audacity of others to ACCEPT said money for a service! It's just wrong I tell's ya!
Why in the hell do you think it's reasonable that you have to prove to a private enterprise that you aren't a criminal? Really... I mean, would I get full access to all your company's computers to make sure you aren't running any software I wrote?
Dude. You forgot "House of the Dead: Overkill". Every other motherfucking word is motherfucker, gore out the wazoo, explicit sexual talk... it's an awesome game. It aims for "bad B-Movie video game" and hits it dead-on.
I think it's a good thing. DNA is no longer a slam-dunk, the police are forced to actually prove the case through multiple angles. Any time there's a single piece of evidence that convicts someone, it's troubling.
I own the media, but I can't rip it to my hard drive, so I'm forced to bring optical discs with me if I want to watch videos on my laptop. Windows 7 fails at multimedia. I can't imagine the media center features will let you actually do what you want with your media, which relegates Windows 7 to a game loader on my box.
DNA is just information. How well does a hard drive compute? Not very well. It has some computing capability, but to really make it do something interesting you have to hook it up to the rest of the computer. Same with DNA in relation to cells.
Seconded. The default firmwares on Linksys routers are notorious for filling up memory when p2p'ing. I'd be curious to see if the grandparent was running a router as well as the modem, or the modem directly into the computer. I'm running DD-WRT now and I haven't seen any problems with it since I switched.
The thing is, Blizzard is revolutionary because they typically do things right. There are very few other games that I can remember (even now) that are as well designed as Starcraft or Diablo. They just work... you can get lost in playing the game, you stop thinking about the engine in the game, where the pathing weaknesses and such are. You just play. THAT is the revolutionary work that Blizzard does.
I read that. How is metadata at all non-obvious? I mean, really... if someone said to me "I want a document where the styles and the content are separate, and I want to be able to define different styles", my mind instantly goes to metadata type solutions. And I rarely program any more. The problem is that this patent is on blatantly obvious bullshit, and it's being passed through because the jury and judge think that if a patent exists, it must be good. Just because it's verbose and makes lots of claims, it doesn't mean that it's somehow a better patent than an overview says it is.
A college education at least proves that you can be taught to a certain extent. Even if you aren't an expert, you can learn. If we went with an expert's tribunal, we wouldn't ever be able to have a jury for anything.

I'm not seeing a huge problem. Hell, Australia's servers respond faster than the US servers (and I'm in Colorado)

Ahhh, right. I'm with you now. Consider my previous criticism retracted :)

No, I'm not making this shit up. Someone about 1600 or so years ago made it up first.

The only thing I can think of is some opaqueness of the network behind the NAT, but that's not a huge win

The only reason that the BSA is less disliked than the RIAA is because it is less known to the general public. And that's about the only reason.

Then it'd be a sterling stirling.

I'm all for requiring a college degree to serve on a jury.
Ok. The patent is on XML authoring. How is storing any kind of data in XML non-obvious? That's the whole fucking point of XML.
Ahhh. So the charges are "felony interference with a business model". Got it.
Or at least make 'em skinnier. Which would be good for everyone involved... the people paying their medical bills, they themselves, their families...
So you eat raw meat and other people? Chimps and gorillas will eat anything they can get their hands on for the most part.
Besides, a better role model might be the ourangutan.
So what? Who gives a fuck if she has a grudge or not? She used publicly available information. That should be the end of the discussion.
