I can't speak about 2004, I was just getting out of high school then. But I do know that we are working very hard on finding a cure for ALS (and other neurodegenerative diseases). There have been some amazing advances in the past few years, namely surrounding destruction and regenerating of the myelin (look that up if you want to learn more) surrounding neurons that seems to be the primary cause of degeneration. I myself have seen a couple of fellow labs come up with techniques that seem to smooth out and encourage the remyelination that naturally occurs in humans and seems to be missing in patients with ALS.
Its terrible to see someone pass away like this when some days it feels like we are so close we can taste it.
What a lot of the articles pointing this out don't mention is that the rules governing advertisers and what information they can get from the user without their knowledge/permission also changed. Ars points out that this change may make it easier for large third-party advertisers (e.g. AdMob) to get data from their users.
I'm not going to argue whether the other changes to the agreement are good or not (I'm a little worried that allowing interpreted code, particularly flash, will lower the overall quality of apps available in the store). But some of the changes to the ability of third-party advertisers to get information on their users could be a serious problem.
Does anyone else think it is a bad idea? I hear a lot of hedging about how good it will be in the long run, but no one seems to think it's a terrible idea.
It seems like this is just a description of a scaled back space program. Gutting NASA's manned spacecraft development and pushing future development into the future seems like it could be even more detrimental than simply canceling the shuttle programs.
As I understand it, backers of using private space companies argued that delegating the heavy cargo transport to a private company would leave NASA to focus on exploration and science. Isn't it to opposite of this to move NASA into developing a heavy lift vehicle, and having private corporations take up manned spaceflight?
As a side note, it's interesting to remember that one of the major reasons we were able to overtake the Russian space program during the 1960's was that we focused on technical and scientific advancements rather than pure heavy lifting, in which the Russians had an estimated decade advantage.
This seems to be disappointing to those of us that would like to become future astronauts.
I like you, developed deployment for a mac based network (600 or so macs) back when command line ASR and netrestore were the best options. However, we also upgraded our deployment methods as Apple incorporated some of the technologies we used (cloning and automatic install options) into their server software. Today that particular piece of software is very well polished and does the job extremely well. The last time we did an installation (a few years ago) we used custom netboot images with automatic install options for different types of computers (lab, classroom, etc.) based on mac address. At the time we used a third party unix package manager or OS X called Radmind, but it proved to be more trouble than it was worth. However, Apple Remote desktop's package management and monitoring work very well and lets your do most of the upgrade install tasks you need to. In the end, the only per-machine work was setting up the machine to boot from the network by default.
Also, if you have the bandwidth, you can centralize your OS installs as server based images that are never installed on the thin clients. If you get it to work, it makes upgrades and deployment very easy.
If you want to discuss some of the problems we faced and our solutions, please feel free to contact me.
Its a bit misleading to say that Pidgin now implements video and voice for XMPP networks. They have implemented video and voice for the protocols that Google Talk uses which are unique to Google Talk. Other services (such as iChat) use different video and voice protocols on XMPP (possible on the Google Talk network). Since there is no unified protocol for video and voice on XMPP each service uses their own "proprietary" protocols piggy backed on an XMPP network.
I guess us snobby iChat users will just continue to talk to each other.
They were smart enough to place the machine in one of the few spots in the hotel where there was no security camera to catch them, Priest said. "It was literally right next to the hotel security entrance."
So even the security officials don't like to be spied on.
The jury does not have to follow the judges rule or of the law as applied to the trial. The wit, if the jury believes a law to be wrong or a bad law they can disregard the law and rule against it.
It seems a little odd to me that they picked an image hosting site (especially one a few steps above rapidshare in usefulness) to attack first. One of their stated goals from their website:
http://romeo.copyandpaste.info/
-----[ Check list / Goals:
Take down every public forum, group, or website that helps in promoting exploits and tools or have show-off sections.
Publish exploits rigged with/bin/rm to whitehats, let them rm their own boxes for you.
Spread the anti-security movement.
Revive pr0j3ct m4yh3m.
I understand that imageshack might get people's attention and spread your message, but if you stated goal is to attack sites that host tools and disclose exploits, wouldn't something like Sectools.org be more appropriate? Or maybe they couldn't handle something legitimate...
Also, it seems likely that they would use tools distributed from just such a site to exploit an OpenSSH vulnerability.
If you don't like the idea of sending your information to google to have it indexed, you can look into some server side applications (with associated client apps) that do the indexing and searching for you. I'm not familiar with Windows ones (although I'm sure there are some) but there are quite a few for Linux and primarily Spotlight for the Mac. The option have the actual indexing done server side would save on your bandwidth tremendously.
You may also want to consider using a different filesystem, one that has indexing capabilities built in.
From the attached article I can gather that since FFMpeg uses the LGPL 2.1 (not 3.0) that their obtaining a third party license for something else that prohibits them from granting similar rights for that bit of code does not affect their ability to grant rights for use the FFMpeg libraries. As they put it:
The fact that Party B may have a patent license with an unrelated
third-party is irrelevant as long as it doesn't prevent Party B from
granting people the rights LGPL 2.1 requires they grant them (namely,
only those rights it in fact received from Party A).
Again this all seems rather moot anyway. A lot of operating systems these days include FFMpeg libraries as well as the H.264 and AAC libraries (which is really what this is all about). I know people feel like the idea of linking native libraries from the OS (which may or may not be there) goes against the universality of the HTML5 video/audio spec (and I can't say I disagree), but it would seem that for something as ubiquitous and freely licensable as the FFMpeg libraries, this argument is a bit overblown.
Is written in Java Web Start so its about as cross platform as you can find. It seems to work with most video cameras and microphones. It also features the following:
-Group Chats -Screen Sharing -Whiteboard -Hard line call in to call from a phone line
Its for the physics community, so try not to abuse it. It should be fine if you just use it to chat.
Something you might find interesting that satisfies your "Sci-fi" requirement with added humor. the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series is a great read.

Finally they're slowly coming around to the idea that maybe they can't squeeze the life out of the downloaded music industry. Like so much before, now they can charge you for one song. Now your buying a CD, one song at a time, through the thrill of downloading!, without the CD itself!. Do'h.
Of course in other news today, EMI sues the venture capitalists that backed Napster, trying to discourage it else where and take over the business! Tricky!
The specifics of this metal sound almost fantastical. Are we so sure that this is even possible? Despite the fact that it was produced using computer modeling (whoa, what a neat Idea. Wish I'd thought of that one).
Does this mean that Apple is going to be focusng on segmenting their multi-user systems in OSX 10.3? If so, won't this mean annoying permissions problems for admin users?
Alright class, lets address this little man's points one by one, shall we?
1. Spelling is not an issue. May I point out that this was written hastily during a lunch break. Secondly, I suppose you were one of those children who's only pride was his spelling ability (and yes I did mean tactic).
2. Your right, anything can be debated, as you have so nicely proven by proffessing to know my legal status on nothing more than my sn! Also simply because I tried to make it more understandable for the person I was answering, does not mean I'm not capapble of using the English language. About declaratory judgement, your also right, this is a well documented type of case, but due to the evolving nature of digital copyright law, this will certainly be challanged in a higher court.
3. As to civil versus criminal, as an intellectual property specialist, I am very familiar with the burden of proof required in criminal cases. However in a digital copyright case, while there is no burden, there is a preemptive judgement made to determine intent. Therefore the argument is still valid.
Have a nice day, and remember, simply ask, and I'll help you out with those questions for the bar exam!

But the question remains, will Apple allow Skynet to access iPhones?
The answer is yes.
But be warry of dates to the observatory, they may lead to misunderstanding, heartache, and unpremeditated homicide.
