Actually the whole gauss gun idea makes no sense. Take an electric motor attach a say 100mm diameter spinning frame put you bullet on one side with a counter balance on the other side spin it up to 2000 revolutions per minute and you achieve 628m/s when you release the bullet. You could use the gauss equivalent barrel just to add a final bit of acceleration but more importantly control aiming. Obviously accelerating the next bullet for firing is tricky but if added at the centre and allowing for centrifugal force to take it out to the circumference whilst added resistive force to slow it's progress to the circumference and all the while maintaining counter balance (otherwise aiming would be difficult) you can high velocity full auto fire. The bigger the circumference the higher the velocity whilst limiting needed revolutions per second.
The solution is quite simple, they should stick to the law and the original principle. Being that, copyright should promote the progress of the "USEFUL ARTS AND SCIENCES". As such copyright should be applied for and a fee charged. Should the work pass the test of promoting the progress the useful arts and sciences then copyright protection should be provided for a limited time. Should the work fail the test and do nothing to promote the progress of the useful arts and sciences than copyright protection should be rejected and the work relegated to public domain. See, simple as, easy peasy. You want copyright protection, apply for it, "PAY FOR IT", have your work reviewed and if it fails wake up to yourself and get a real job flipping burgers or being on strike till they pay a reasonable liveable wage for flipping burgers.
YEP, Reagan brought in the corporatocracy and since then it hasn't left power thanks to the mass media corporate propaganda as news conspiracy, that Reagan legalised. Both parties fighting like hell to keep third and fourth parties right the hell out of winning anything. The two sides of the same coin. Reality is the only people now days who claim Uncle Tom Obama the choom gang coward is a progressive liberal is Fox not-News and they do that as a masquerade the same as the did from the beginning and of course Tea Baggers who cant see beyond colour.
So you are a douche. You feel safe because the lead is left in the environment along with the random misses and target shooting shots because you will cut out the most lead tainted pieces of meat and also dump that in the environment. Yet, somehow you think you will escape the lead pollution you and your fellow NRA douches will leave behind. Oh, let me guess, you shoot in someone else's neighbouring whilst living in the burbs and you do this year along with the other NRA gun nuts, year, after year, after year. Why exactly the choice to stick with lead, hmm, because it's cheap and fuck everyone else.
Yep, without Jobs, there is no one left around Apple to go wandering around and steal ideas and claim them as his own, quite as effectively as Jobs could.
You have a real look at the reality of the H1B program you in the majority have not been getting the best and brightest, you have been getting the greediest. This has distorted and lopsided US society to the point where psychopaths and narcissists now rule. A genetically flawed minority, forcing their insanity upon the rest of US society. Seriously have a real look at the tea baggers, these people cheer at the idea of a human being dying when they don't have health insurance, of children working, they love war, they want unlimited social welfare for themselves personally but scream when ever any one else gets it.
Easy to make streaming a felony simple requires that the person who did not copy the copyrighted work is now legally liable for the person who did copy the copyrighted work. The analogy is if you saw someone rob a bank, you are now the person who robbed the bank and are required to prove you are not. To stream is to watch a copy being produced upon someone else's computer and they have expressly given you permission to do so, nothing more nor nothing less. You do not take legal liability for their actions except in the delusion of the currently totally corrupt US government. Basically they are now stating you are guilty of any crime you witness, regardless of what you do, until you can prove your innocence.
What is needed is an analogue activity that a computer can not replicate but that can still be digitally encapsulated and transmitted and that can be automatically tested by a computer as being valid. This goal with ever increasing computing power looks to be impossible.
What people really need is a free open source range of douche-bots to scan inputs and reject them. A range of them to cover the various input activities, of course that would mean passing them through a secured support centre that could recognise various bot, hack, spam activities and then reject them. This seems the better solution as the capability of the douche-bot evolves with the computing powers of the douches.
Of course is a shift to a broadband world, simply drop the compression and just go with the encryption. If your are compressing to save bandwidth and then padding to secure the compression, which not only takes up bandwidth but initial compute cycles, simply drop the compression and cut out the point of attack.
Outsourcing is driven by nothing but greed. Outsourcing is enabled by nothing but corruption funded by that greed. Outsourcing serves two purposes to weaken the power of the majority and to increase the short term profitability of the minority. It is a grossly anti-social activity.
I feel major corporations need to be broken up, with a nett cap on limited liability of 1billion dollars beyond that share holders need to be fully liable for the actions of corporations. Multi-national corporations should simply be banned all together as they server no social purpose beyond a destructive one.
Now that is what is really killing off corporate propaganda channels. A requirement to be globally competitive in providing the news on-line because that news channel is now available globally. Part of that is of course developing the ability to gather news locally, nationally and internationally and to distribute it locally, nationally and internationally according to the preferences of you readership at the time.
Big part of this is the real cost of corporate propaganda versus the truth. Tells lies and you immediately lose readers to competing news channels which are just a click away and you can lose them for life (just ask the Fox not-News network with it's dying elderly viewers which make up by far the majority of it's market)
For the umpteenth time. A family of four at home in a modern broadband family. Mother in the lounge streaming a sporting match with picture in picture video call with a friend from work discussing the event. Father in the kitchen streaming a video recipe for the preparation of tonight's meal, whilst having a video call chat with his father. Son is in his bedroom downloading a 3D model parts to print to complete a school science project whilst doing his homework on-line interactively with his school. Daughter is on a vid call with her friend whilst downloading a video game she just purchased and uploading a video recording of a recent social event to her friend. In the meantime the home security system is uploading current state to the monitoring centre. The power control system is updating current usage, power being generated by solar panels, and amount of charge in home stand by battery (no brownouts in the modern technology home). I changed gender roles to relive the boredom of yet again highlighting that total bandwidth consumption for a whole family can readily reach capacity. The more bandwidth the more it will be used.
Things like wedding video's, you can readily a copy being sent to each person who attended via email, when the bandwidth is there to do it. Fun stun like globally extended parties, with lives streams and capture to and from big screen TVs, bring the whole family together even when they are thousands of miles apart. Doctors making video house calls, with the correct local kit to pick up required readings and feed them to the doctors whilst the doctors makes a visual assessment. Grocery shopping takes quite a chunk of bandwidth when larger pictures of the products to be purchased are preferred and as required under law a complete list of ingredients has to be made available at the point of sale (the more rapid the update from page to page, by far the better experience).
Of course typical right wing response, if the typical family of four can not afford them, then fuck them, they don't deserve it, even when the human society they are a part of can blatantly quite readily achieve it. Why, WHY, apparently because douche bag psychopaths like to ponce about having much more than anyone else and when given the opportunity like to have the power of life or death over others to use at a whim.
Time for the car analogy, it took decades for people to fully appreciate and make use of motor vehicles, modern roads and traffic control systems. The more accessible the infrastructure the more it is used, fact, repeated, over (roads), and over (storm water and sewer) and over (electricity), and over (telephones), and over (mobile communications), again.
Obstructing all of those all along the way have been a handful of psychopathic arseholes who didn't give a crap beyond their own greed because the new technology disadvantaged their current profit centres. Till we get to today's arse hole Rupert Murdoch who would quite readily fuck up Australia's technological future because it affects his profits and power base. Not forgetting this is the same arsehole who was the number one mass media champion of leading the US into a false war against Iraq, so extreme mass murder is totally acceptable to this person as long as their goals are achieved.
So formulating wars to inflate the profits of the military industrial complex would be a 'white collar crime' even when those wars kill millions. How about pharmaceutical corporations pushing toxic medicines that kill tens of thousands another 'white collar crime'.
So violent, hmm. Lets say I come to your home, grab you and your family toss you out on the street and then confiscate your belongings, if you protest, I assault you and any members of your family that join you and throw you in a confined space for an extended period. This pretty much destroys you life, destabilizes you whole family likely breaking it up and exposing your children to considerable risk. This is called the non-violent crime of bankrupting families to generate corporate banking profits, and not just one family but hundreds of thousands even millions globally. For this the corporation and it shareholders should get fined and I the criminal get to wander off with millions in bonuses, THIS IS FUCKING FAIR?!.
A goofy 10.6 inch display with a poor tactile response keyboard, with irritating finger prints all over the screen for over a $1000 and no applications to do any work with.
Screen real estate is everything, and you try to go as big as you can in each category, be it mobile phone (6"), tablet(10"), note book(12"-15"), mobile desktop(17") and full desktop(27"), big screen(65"). This seems to pretty much define the nature of the market.
The bigger the screen the more effectively you can carry out multiple tasks at the same time which is required in a modern technological workplace. Ill conceived surface pro fills no real roles and is really the product of ignorant ego and a yes man environment.
The tablet is basically a content consumption toy and needs to be priced accordingly. A drop able device that doesn't cause to much angst when it needs to be replaced. Especially when select components for phones and tablets are still way over priced.
There were stories of politicians, union officials, political activist, all put on no fly lists, all subject to further investigation and border crossings. There have been countless stories of political activist being arrested where those arrests were called preventative against imagined potential criminal acts.
'NO', I Am Not Your Fucking Slave. You want those stories, you fucking look them up:P. They are readily available across the internet.
Unfortunately there is considerable evidence of whole collapsed societies the root cause of which is selfishness and the me now versus long term mutually sustainable outcome. Likely greed and selfishness had no reality in science as a social human survivability trait (as a species) but was purely propaganda based as a means by which those destructive individuals could continue to prey upon the rest of human society as parasites. It is when that parasitical life style becomes more extreme and destructive, that they manage to take down the whole of their society by over exploitation.
It is not unusual that genetic defects can continue to survive over the long term, however, when that destructive defect continues to spread too widely within it's population based it will exceed the ability of the society to support it and bring about it's collapse. This is the nature of true parasites.
In this case it sounds like it will be much easier to genetically modify algae into producing fibre, protein structure and taste similar to beef. Varieties of kelp should provide the basic structure for a full range of low allergy edible products, mimicking the most used food products of flour, dairy, meat, fruit and vegetables.
More sensibly under law, all remote control system for essential infrastructure should be banned unless they can be guaranteed (as in you 'WILL' go to prison) secure. Can't secure it to that level, then don't do it because you do not have the right to privatise the minimal gain profits whilst socialising the huge cost of failure (including lives lost).
Quite simply this provides only two things. First, honey pots are really good at attracting a focusing attention and should be inserted on all high security systems, to draw attacks and allow investigatory follow up. Second, it is really bad idea to put high risk of life infrastructure under across the internet remote control, if you do, you should pay the full criminal penalty for when your security is broken.
An important thing to point out, it is not just the government that broke the law, more importantly it is the political party and specific individual politicians who broke the law. This is all about politics and monitoring your politics and via that monitoring controlling politics (the corporate party).
This enables 'individual' politicians to take actions against citizens and their families when those citizens in any way threaten the power base of those 'individual' politicians. Effectively support a third party, find your self on a no fly list or even worse the let you fly but will they radiate and sexually assault you and your family every time you or they fly. Want a job, forget it, you are now considered a security threat and are only allowed access to minimum wage jobs. Any attempt to gain social welfare, you and your family are tagged as permanently requiring extended further investigation prior to any support being provided.
That's the kids stuff of course, the more serious is the bogus warrant and search based purely on circumstantial digital data. The swat soldier assault where you and your family are threatened at gun point, pets are shot, your family home is trashed and of course there is every chance you will not survive the event, all it's takes is one of those invaders to shout 'GUN' and, the rest will open fire, execute you and random members of your family. They will get off, because they felt threatened because someone shouted gun but of course no one will admit to it (maybe it was the neighbours TV).
Seriously people need to wake up to themselves because it is already that bad. This is the current reality and this is what is already happening.
Gees, to each his own. You might not find it interesting but I certainly do and just a gentle reminder, your taste and preferences do not define the whole planets taste and preferences. You don't like Russia, OK, get over it.
Banner adds and clickety click clicks. Plus of course marketing and gaining those highly profitable mass media consultancy (heavy on the con) spots, especially if you going to push the pro government security propaganda line. Of course it seems really lame to 'publicly' seek donations to purchase heroin unless of course you are seeking to publicly expose your scheme to frame someone (which doesn't make any sense at all), as obviously framing someone must be kept really really secret as it tends to fail otherwise. Of course it the whole thing is a publicity scam it seems pretty weak and desperate. Then again what else would you expect from someone from The Washington Post and it's shoddy corporate propaganda image.
So ultimately the best sector for CSIRO is the cost saving rather than the profit generating sector. Research that benefits the public the most when it is given away freely. Things like essential medicines etc. A very good point of focus for CSIRO would be the proper and effective application of herbal remedies, with focus on sub-species efficacy. Of course forget the silly cure everything but there is still can be great results in prevention and of course recovery promotion. So herbal remedies, high cost of research, not much chance of profit with exploitative and death dealing patents (can't afford the patent fees than shut up and die) but huge opportunities in major medical cost savings.
Far more likely it represents the normal immigration process in Russia prior to becoming a citizen. Why would he really want to go to South America, Russia is becoming pretty interesting as far as Geeks/Nerds are concerned with Sochi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sochi becoming a hot spot. All it needs is for Russia to push Sochi as a tech hub due to climate advantages and things could really kick off in the Region. Russia is evolving and with it's unique culture, extreme adventure land in Kamchatka Peninsula https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka_Peninsula.
Of course it remains to be seen whether Russia can adjust it's immigration policies, create a multinational polytechnic centre in the Region, promoting computers, voice recognition and language translation, to really get things kicking over. Still Russia is becoming far more interesting.
Yeah, we should hold pensioner gladiatorial combats instead, let them fight it out, all of them. Those 1% would make bad sport as they wouldn't last long, oh well;P.
That is pushing the tin-foil hat boundary ie think of energy output at range with extremely limited energy. So the pressure should be put onto manufacturers of mobile phones, that off means off and people should stop buying phones that do not provide that modern day necessity.
