Agreed. He thinks that self driving cars will be able to make ethical decisions through the magic of algorithms. It might happen, but probably not in my lifetime.
Yeah, it's simply idiotic to follow up stuff you're written with other writings concerning things you're interested in. I mean, who does that? And why would you? Promotion... even worse, self promotion. The worst kind of promotion.
I want to live in a world where no one writes or does or creates anything. And certainly never follows up on anything they've written or done or created. That'd be the best world ever!
Exactly what does enrolling a customer into an unwanted and ridiculously overpriced service has to do with shedding customers?! If the contract is over. Shed the customer. If the contract is not over. Keep up your end of the contract.
They're complaining that the courts and government are not protecting their rights. Their copyrights.
But copyrights exist at the discretion of the government. If 17 USC 107 provides a fair use exception to copyright. And if time shifting is fair use. Then there are no rights to protect.
It's not the government's job to protect your IP rights. The government grants you a monopoly covering certain aspects of a work. If the government decides that time shifting is not a violation of copyrights, you don't have that right. Deal with it.
This has nothing to do with religious rights. This is about these women making asinine choices. If their religion bars them from being nurses, then they shouldn't be nurses. It's really that simple.
Can you imagine a muslim woman being hired to work as a stripper and then suing because she has to take her clothes off? Does anyone think she has a right to work as a fully clothed stripper?
The Amish are doing it right. Rather than force modern society to bend to their outdated religious notions, they remove themselves from modern society. So should those so called nurses.
Kodak is just using this to cover up the fact they've been experimenting with an intrinsic field test chamber. I'm assuming they want to build a super-powered meta-human to help them in their upcoming patent battles.
"Allowing a candidate out of nowhere to use the profession of 'astronaut' when he hasn’t served in that profession recently is akin to allowing someone to use a title of 'sailor' when they no longer own or operate a ship,"
I had some sort of S3 card too, but since it couldn't really do 3d, I didn't count it as a "real" 3d card. I was really pissed because I was going back and forth between that crappy card and an original 3DFX monster add-on card. I chose the wrong one. The original monster could actually accelerate OpenGL games such as Quake.
I remember buying my first "real" 3d card. It was an ATI Rage Fury 128. It had a whopping 32 megs of memory. And shitty ass drivers. Good times, good times...

If Microsoft loses, we get to take joy in the loss. If Microsoft wins, we get to take joy at Microsoft for narrowing patent law to its own long-term disadvantage.
"there is a VERY strong suggestion in your post that anyone who doesn't want a mouse for their TV is an idiot."
If that's how you interpret what I wrote, then I do deserve to be modded as troll. However, that was not my intent at all. My point was that in my experience, and as I've objectively explained, using a PC/Mouse combination is better. I've asked people to offer me a better solution, but no one ever has. (I've brought this up before. http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1686750&cid=32578802 )
The fact that people irrationally believe that a remote is better than a mouse is completely meaningless to me. Subjective opinions do not change facts.
I guess instead of idiots I should have called them ignoramuses.

Still, I found it an interesting discussion.

"putting it on hold indefinitely"
Let me translate: "We're putting it on hold until the uproar dies down."

I hope they hire Justin Long to be his sidekick.

When you bought clean systems and installed your own OS? Me neither, but apparently it was quite common a long long time ago.

And you lost me.
"until a privacy review could be completed"
Which is another way of saying until the uproar dies down so we can sneak it in later without objection.
Weddings, school pictures, family pictures, journalism, mugshots, and nearly any other specific event that people want a visual record.

Yes it is. What's your point?
If there's one thing George Lucus loves is DVD/Blu-ray releases. Eventually he'll release it to make a few extra bucks.
GNU-Linux started as a command based OS, various GUIs were attempted, and now we're back to typing in what we want to do.

Nope, it's soft and comfortable. Go out and get a new blu-tooth laser mouse. As long as the surface is not shiny, it works.
Or sandy, it probably wouldn't work in sand. But most people don't have sand in their living rooms. So it's a moot point.
Yeah, idiots tend to think that way. If I were reading that, I'd naturally assume I was not one of the idiots.
