Why have n m-bit parallel systems? Just have n 1-bit parallel systems. You won't need all these specialized processing units anymore. The future is in an extremely flexible CPU.
Well at least the "luddite" camp makes some sense some of the time. But I say throw more technology at it. Design better pesticides! And if the bulk of humanity is wiped out...uh, isn't overpopulation the biggest problem anyway?
Seems to be what you're saying. It's pretty well known that doesn't work. And assuming the source does open, it'd be much easier to cheat than to prevent it.
Imagine when information becomes free and we all have source code access? I think at some point you can't stop the technology and you just need to trust. We'll just have to play with those we know.
I think you're actually both right, just looking at it from different angles. "information wants to be free" is true in a physical sense, but you're looking at it from a social sense. However, since nobody seems to be able to legislate away things like gravity, the physical sense will always win.
Something of an emotional reaction from the "information wants to be free" crowd (which I'm a member of). I think it's fine...technology is always a good thing. Sounds like a cool way to send sensitive data. Problem is when you get in trouble for trying to circumvent (like Nitrogen becoming illegal as was mentioned if it prevents the destruction of the data).
Gotta save this one. I normally don't like catch-phrases, but using this one I think is fine, and this is a great justification of it. I suppose we could think of something better, but this meme has really caught on.
I consider myself a transhumanist, and to have a body that I can change into any form that I want whenever I want, and to improve and increase the ability of mind is a good statement of what I believe. And there is a really simple definition of what is lesser--that which you can kill. Thus, dogs and cats are lesser to us.
Transhumanism is about controlling the input and output to the "self", wherever it is. It really won't be like robocop at all...you'll just have a brain (or whatever part is needed) and can swap everything else out. Most transhumanists want to kill or control lesser beings, so best be informed so you can join them.
Just wire your brain into the computer. Oh, and if you refuse to do so and especially if you don't want others doing so, you'll likely be killed by cyborgs toting guass rifles.
Let's see, cell phone/PDA/music/game/video/camera. I think that covers all the portable items you can get at the local electronics store. The PDA/phone's have enough problem getting any sort of synergy going. Sony will probably claim a lot but it will just end up being a game machine--at least nintendo admits the GBA is for nothing but games.
Spent some time setting up their validation tests. Without getting too specific, it was a bit of a mess. They do have good incident response though--lots of people working weekends on that.
I think the accounting overhead is worse than the money bite with most taxes. They should just raise property taxes or something that's not so hard to keep track of. As it is this just creates more government jobs to attempt to enforce this.
Those studio produce games that are copy locked. Information wants to be free, not tied up in annoying DRM and lengthy license texts. The new breed should be producing games for donations, in the new gift economy.
Get our radix settled first to hexadecimal.

Settle on hexadecimal SI and we won't have so many problems. To think that we're going into space with a mix of all sorts of different units and bases--no wonder there's been so many disasters. Space will always be there...there's no problem waiting to get things settled right back on Earth.

You're fighting two camps here, the luddite camp that wants to fight genetically engineered foods, and the IP people, who want to fight logic.

Copyright is against natural law. Thus there should be no law against DVD copying.

Oh no. I'm a transhumanist of the "might makes right" camp, not the morality camp.

Same thing with "information wants to be free". Microsoft will die. Information will be free.
Yeah, that's still a restriction though (digital restriction managment). I'm sure there is DRM on top of that to thwart professional pirates.
That always cracks me up. I suppose the mindset of DRM leads to the mindset of patents. Someday information will be free!

Can anyone translate into hexadecimal? Of course just use m^2 so the radix doesn't figure into the unit.
I think it opens a bit earlier for the season. All the rides were open and there were around 4 minute waits at most.
Simple, let technology handle it. Keep your security technology in place and forget about government and laws.
