... publishers.. employ a lot of people who still need to feed their families.
So we should go back to riding horses to work to save those working in the manure collection industry? It's a law of nature. That which doesn't evolve to adapt to its environment perishes. It applies to virii, companies and people alike.
Sake literally means "Alcohol". It's being mis-used in the western world and as such it's no surprise when foreigners visit japan and get blank looks from store-owners when they ask for "Sake". It's like going to a bar and saying "Alcohol please!". Japanese alcohol made (mostly) from rice is called Nihon-Shu () in Japan, which literally translates to "Japanese Alcohol".
start sending probes in the direction of planets like this with enough ingredients on them to help kickstart life on other worlds that can support it. It wont affect us...
It won't affect us? Here's a way it could affect us: The life we seeded grows, fast! It grows up faster than we expected and evolves at an exponential rate. Within 200 years it develops a space program then decides to pay us a visit with huge guns.
With OpenGL gaining popularity windows is becoming more and more irrelevant, and I guess that's a good thing. A few hours ago I downloaded Haiku-OS to give it a spin.
...we'll have a problem on our hands. Imagine a new breed of intelligent flying creatures. They'd swoop down, grab our food and just fly away. They'd fly to some remote mountain top to breed, then create their own civilization and eventually.. they'll come for us:)
Online Multiplayer Is the cancer killing videogames.
I strongly disagree. Online multiplayer is the best thing that's happened to gaming. Instead of fighting Stupid AI or solving puzzles, you're up against human intelligence (or lack thereof). After I started playing online multi-player games single-player lots it's appeal. Is it because they stopped trying or is it because playing with people is more fun? I bet the latter.
I hate the TSA as much as the next guy, but I watched the video twice and it doesn't show the guy defeating the scanners. It just shows him going through the x-ray.. It doesn't prove that he sneaked anything through...
Make patents non-tradable. If a company is sold or goes under, the patents go to the public domain. Same thing if a person holds the patent. Person dies, patents evaporate. Even better? Extend the law to also include copyright.
I'd like to know exactly how and why they searched his laptop? All foreign citizens who enter canada have their laptops searched? For what? Is this constitutional in Canada?
This project was originally an academic project from what I understand [Scholar]. In order to get something like this published you need to demonstrate it's feasibility and it's usefulness in some scenario. That's why they came up with the space scenario. In space the helmet would not impede the wearer so much (weight is the number one issue that hinders all HMD's). On earth you'd have this huge bulky thing strapped to your head, wires pulling you down, making it rather ineffective.

Great...now I have to teach my mom their latest UI abomination 4 times a year!! It's Skype all over again :(
This situation is your doing...

Formed by a collision? That's absolute nonesense... The moon is a deity that is to be worshiped! Bill o' Reilly told me so!
Granted how scientists just LOVE to give new names to things that are even slightly different (eg. Dinosaurs and how Jack Horner put them to shame).
According to this slightly sketchy source the existence of foreskin is better for a multitude of reasons.
To top it all the password change section of their website is down (wanted to change my password just in case).
Now crashes 450% faster and messier! Burns some silicone and a few peripherals along the way.

I wonder if the researchers chocked the mice with their bare hands.... Poor mice. R.I.P.

The year where an apartment in manhattan is sold for an amount that can feed a small country for a month.
You've never heard of a company doing something evil to boost sales?

I barely held back from pressing the UP arrow on the keyboard while watching the video.

Why is the focus so much on space applications?

TSA contractors organize fear campaign to help boost sales.
Rather than the pig's mugshot, I'm more interested in the conditions the pig lived in it's entire life.
QT? Who cares!!! I'm peeing in my pants from the excitement about the new Qt-Creator!! :) I've never gotten excited so much about an IDE before :)
