So what's the defense to this? Standard hardening seems unfeasible. Since the more advanced ones are very directed, wouldn't it be possible to determine which direction it's coming from, and fire back? That's the same defense that could be used against all directed, concentrated energy weapons (lasers).
Ah, this "intellectual property" stupidity. I suppose they wanted to get the most out of their "license". It's an old enough story, it should be public domain.
That's why this concept of "prior art" is rediculous. Since any idea can in theory be discovered independently of any other discovery of that idea, all ideas must exist outside of time.
It would be clearly easier for women to do this than men. But I think it would be men who actually do. There may be a hurdle, but there is more desire and ability.
You are aware that the companion of the same sex is considered by very many to be "one of life's greatest pleasures". I never said companionship or relationships would go away.
Something simple like pricing something $2.56 will show you to be an advanced thinker. A better example is 2^16, which is decimal, but better than the decimal expansion.
It is the single most complicating factor of life today. Imagine how much simpler if we didn't have the division between sexes? Less pronouns to remember! We already have artificial wombs, so we'll just evolve into a being that doesn't reproduce. But imagine if we had stayed like earthworms, both male and female.
It's really depressing to see the grandparent modded up, when it deserves to be flamebait, overrated (very overrated, how often to we get the stupid liberal/conservative slant?). Do you have mod points to bring it down?
So you can tip whatever you want from your card. Overall they could make more money, as some people would pay more than ninety-nine cents (ugh, marketing price).
It was rather easy to predict that/.ers would immediately declare this an "evil technology". The rabid libertarianism trumps any love of cool new technology.
Information wants to be free--here it's still a matter of purchasing information. There's also a system that rolls a physical piece of paper over your screen when you turn it off. Just purchase an original and use that.

Patents are unnatural and evil.
Check all the other comments...it's been said.
Well, it could have cured cancer for all, but that would threaten the integrity of our "intellectual property" system!

If it doesn't have a cell phone built in, it'll be in a scrap heap soon.
So we got 16 real teams and 80 people who signed up just to have another item on their resume. Gross.

OK, so once we get beyond sex, we'll still have the mental, if not the physical. My vision is not a world without relationships.

We already have artificial wombs, thus we won't reproduce but we'll be able to--through the artificial wombs. Got it?

Since you're not signing any contract when you copy the music, there wouldn't be a problem here. The music would play and people would be happy.
2^8 is still better 256. Another example is pricing at binary intervals, $16, $32. It's not all or nothing.

65,000? You mean 2^16, right?
This is computers, not bowling!

I present to you English pronunciation. Simple, ain't it?
And remember, this is the same message, so all I'm saying is that the message contains both ad hominem and a poor argument.

Here is where you just get dead silence if you mention that perhaps we need a better designed language. Lojban is a good start.
