well.. at least FF7 wouldn't so hard to get anymore.
If replicators did work like that in the real world, economies would collapse overnight. The second some jackass published the replication patterns for nuclear weapons we'd all go up in an inferno. That of course is after everyone replicated ten tons of gold for themselves and discovered it's now plentiful and worthless. No, no replicators please. I'm not ready for the end of the world.
I got the impression that ST stlye replicators only worked on the atomic/molecular level, ie they don't create new elements, just rearrange them into useful patterns. Therefore the above wouldn't work due to a lack of an ability to create weapons grade plutonium/uranium or gold for that matter. Creating plenty of conventional explosives, toxic substances or even some evil nanites probably wouldn't be too hard however...
I'm curious at the usage of the phrase "let's hope". A correctly placed nuclear device in the that seals off the oil as well as causing a collapsing void that traps any fission products generated sounds a lot better than pouring yet more megagallons of oil into the ocean.
(your milage may vary in practice a fair bit from theory of course)
Considering that one of the things it seems the article's computer *can't* do is handle a slashdotting without crashing and going up in flames, I would hardly consider linking to them being a reward.
I love that someone used that "going up in flames after being Slashdotted" cliche on an article about things computers don't actually do.
You might not have had happen but I have. A proxy server whose RAID controller quite literally caught fire, fortunately it didn't burn for long or hot, just enough to char the inside a little - the server room suppression system didn't get set off...
All I remember from the first film was that one of the octets in an IP address was in the 300s. Boy did that ruin an otherwise spot-on movie.
Yep - a blog elsewhere says "75.748.86.91" and "23.75.345.200" were used.
IPV4.5?
Thats would have been purposely done to prevent people deciding to attack a real IP belonging to someone out there after seeing it in the film, something along the lines of the 555-xxxx phone numbers they usually use. Of course they could have just used a 10.../192.168.../172.16.. address instead.
We could always just compress the carbon into diamonds, that would lock it out of the atmosphere for quite some time. Of course De Beers wouldn't be too happy about the glut of diamonds that would produce....
Now that "the network is the computer", it is not enough to emulate just the local machine... much of what a computer does relies on interaction with a network that will be radically different in just a few years. E.g. how will all those DRM encumbered videos and tunes authenticate?
Simple: take a snapshot of environment that the authentication requires, and then emulate that in perpetuity.
Sounds simple... so why aren't pirates currently doing just that?
It may depend in the jurisdiction but it generally works like this: They send out a form letter to the owner of the car to sign and pay which is basically an admission of guilt which they expect the vast majority of people to just pay and be done with it. It also allows the nomination of a different person as the driver, who would then get that form letter themselves.
Jurors watched complete video of the entire incident. In interviews afterwards, they said the border guards acted like assholes, but Watts was guilty of the law as explained to them.
I assume Jury Nullification wasn't explained to them however.
A modern laptop screen is a sealed unit which you would replace entirely - open the bevel pull out the screen, put the new one in, close the bevel. The front of the screen is exposed to the outside anyway so it would be exactly the same as dust getting onto it in normal use.
actually some pneumatic tube systems have procedures for a stuck cylinder, by sending a second heavier cylinder, or by increasing the pressure to higher than normal levels, either way clearing the tube.
as in Futurama: Governor lady said "I'm sending in more trains!"
Slashdot Mirror
Sounds good in theory but how many bad guys would be sitting up all night entering a code every 15 minutes so they don't lose their data?

I'm sure you could make a diff patch to convert the data into the game.
Of course then you can argue whether its the data or the patch that is breaking copyright...
Then why aren't most people playing FPSs with a keyboard?

The problem is that theora potentially infringes on patents that are tied to mpeg. So theora is a clean, patent free solution.
Can I be the first to say "huh?". I think the logic is back to front there...
I thought this article was about supermarkets, where it might be a good idea anyway too..

Pretty much what I came here to say.
This will rapidly drive natural selection towards unattractiveness being a survival trait..

I can a niche for a new website, a barcode anonymizer.
Feed it in the barcode, it decodes it, strips any identifying information and spits out a new valid barcode.
Of course your mileage may vary if the existence of whatever is used to track is part of the validation....
Agreed, noone starts programming w/o ever seeing someone elses code.
I suspect Ada Lovelace may disagree with you on that one.

I'm not sure what that section would be doing in an Apollo 13 manual even if it was printed today...
Could you please define 'Level 9 visitor'? It just sounds like something that doesn't cover everyone....
The original submission had tags referring to that episode but the editors have apparently removed it.
Also why am I not surprised someone with 'Anubis' in their username is making the above post?

Wouldn't that then make him a government hence annulling his claim?
Which would then mean he isn't a government and then can validly make such a claim? /rinse and repeat /divide by zero

You might want to look into allodial title then.
Sounds like they watched this old Australian film: Malcolm

As much as it would be useful to scan all the sea for height data I suspect that the vast majority of the sea is at sea level.
