While the user name turned over is your fictitious YouTube login name, your IP address is real. As the RIAA has already shown us far too well, an IP address and a timestamp plus one ex parte discovery subpoena will reveal the ISP account holder. All the pieces are there for an Absolute Invasion of our Privacy.
The judge was a moron and Google should appeal this decision on the basis of all of us!
Programming is a special form of problem solving. It's the ability to take a problem, break it down into its component pieces, sequence it, and implement it in a variety of different languages. All of the steps, except for the implementation in the target language are the same. This is an essential part of understanding computers and programming, and if you don't understand or can't follow through on the process you're in a field where you are poorly prepared.
You wouldn't, after all, have a Structural Engineering degree, and then be telling us that you're really not much good at designing bridges and wanted to know what other work you could get in the field related to your degree now would you?
I do feel it would be interesting if my mobile phone was able to tell me what was going of interest next to me based on my location. Even who else of interest might be standing nearby. Not quite what they're talking about here, but to stand at an intersection and have information about the shops and interesting sites within a 2 block area sorted by distance would be pretty neat.
This idea that the mass of supposedly identical objects is changing for no known reason sounds like a fascinating puzzle to be explored. Unfortunately the article seems more interested in ways to work around the problem rather than understanding it.
You should be ashamed of the fact that your university would give you a degree in an area that you are the first to admit you haven't mastered. A sad commentary on the state of the American college/university system.
You'd think a cube would be able to be fashioned more accurately than a sphere. I guess the atoms must fall off the edges or something that make it unsuitable.
basically says that no one actually owns any physical object anymore or can resell said object without permission of the original producer.
Isn't this what the Goblins tell the Humans in Harry Potter 7? You've never actually "owned" anything goblin-made. Here the USA's Doctirne of First Sale is clearly an improvement over the French mess. With garbage like this going on, not to mention the stranglehold the Unions have over French employment it's a wonder anyone has ever wanted to conquer them in the first place -- or save them from it afterwards.
French courts are the joke of the world. It used to be US courts allowing the RIAA to make mockery of justice in them, but the French courts are worse still. Of course, having to deal with French laws like the restrictions on Free Speech that Bridget Bardot has run afoul of on multiple occasions don't help, but in the end it's the French courts that actually try to enforce this absurdness.
Of course their hatred for everything American doesn't help Google's case either.
You may be an IOTI (Inventor of the Internet), but you're not helping here, Sir. The Internet exists to ship bits around in a reasonably efficient, highly redundant, manner between connected computers. You may already know this. What those users desire to ship between themselves is none of your d@mn business any more than we should have roadblocks on the Interstate searching cars for pirate DVDs, or confiscating and imaging iPods at the international border.
What the world needs is a cheap router that speaks IPv6 on the Internet side, and the equivalent of a NATted IPv4 on the user side such that each IPv4 user address is mapped to a unique IPv6 address on the Internet side. Absolutely every current home and business network today would be capable of running under such a system without change, and the Internet could become all IPv6 tomorrow without problems.
And if your device talked IPv6 to this router, then it would transparently pass it through allowing a transition to IPv6 at the user's pace, rather than being forced into it due to the depletion of IPv4 addresses. After all, didn't someone once say that 4294967295 addresses ought to be enough for everybody?
If such a nifty device exists, it's sure not being talked about widely yet.
This is hardly the big deal that Nvidia makes it out to be. Physics doesn't come for free on either card. It takes away substantial resources from the GPU's major function of rendering frames. Frankly I don't care how beautiful the physics are when the frame rate is 9.
The fraud of the cable companies -- and I'm talking about you, Comcast -- is that you say these people are clogging up our cables so that no one else can use them as we've promised everyone can. Yet money completely solves this problem. Pay for a more expensive business account and suddenly, with no other changes at all to your local cable loop, you get higher bandwidth and caps and somehow are no longer killing their system.
Tell me Comcast: Just how did your cable suddenly get better once you start charging me 2X to 5X as much as before?
You should be allowed to use the bandwidth you paid for as you please. It's not your ISP's business what you decide to do with what they sold you. Whether it's downloading via BT, or watching video on Hulu, no one else should be trying to decide which are Good Bits and which are Bad Bits.
Actually that all makes sense. In many new markets success is often easy. Look at all the car companies at the beginning of the automotive boom -- or all the dot com companies leading up to the bust in 2001. But as markets mature less efficient, less smart, less agile competitors don't make it. You either have to become big (PC's Limited (nee Dell) quit building computers in Michael Dell's garage rather quickly) and efficient, or you are either taken over or roadkill along the way.
So for once Bill Gates has said something of significant importance for everybody -- everybody, that is, who is smart enough to recognize the wisdom here.
The second problem arises because companies like AT&T, etc, want to be both carrier and content provider - or at least the service provider for the content providers.
That's precisely the same problem AOL made of trying to create a Walled Garden. It didn't work for AOL and it won't work for AT&T, but there may be a lot of pain spread around relearning the same lesson over again.
Yo'all better hope that there isn't a Zero Day vulnerability in FF3 that the virus writing scum uncovered when they participated in the testing, as you know they have.
Personally I'm going to wait for a few days just to ensure that no reported problems surface.
How about posters of all the ways DeCSS has been portrayed, followed by all the representations of the AACS keys after takedown notices were attempted against them. There's DeCSS haiku, and a whole photo gallery of AACS key representations.

Or a C.P.A. who doesn't work well with numbers.

Since you asked, I'd like the browser to become the operating system. Then any hardware that could run the browser could run everything else.

We are now being ruled...by an irate 60-year-old technology teacher.
Is there something wrong with this picture?
A word or two always makes all the difference. Like broadband speeds up to 8 megabits per second.
Certainly not all of them. I'm certain that I have a set from a couple decades ago around here somewhere.
And I like half of you half as much as you deserve.
Wow would I like to be on a system like that!!!
Or did you possibly mean: 10 M b PS?
Tell me Comcast: Just how did your cable suddenly get better once you start charging me 2X to 5X as much as before?
They're just a bunch of fsking liars!

I told you so! So now we have what? 8 million suddenly vulnerable machines?

Yet another demonstration of stupid DRM problems and angry users. Just repeat after me: There is no perfect DRM, and then quit acting like there is.
Personally I'm going to wait for a few days just to ensure that no reported problems surface.
