I don't think the idea behind this is to have a group of free loving hippies write the software for medical devices to "scratch an itch" (no offence intended!). The big companies that manufacture these should continue to write the software, but make it open source. This means it can still be peer reviewed, and if they go bust the next big company can pick right up from where they left off.
What if China or Korea or some other shady country asked for someone, would you still hand them over? Given the USAs track record in treating prisoners (and basic human rights violations) I'd be reluctant to give anyone up to them.
This is pretty much how the ADSL market works in the UK. BT own almost all of the infrastructure and lease lines to people. Any ISP is free to offer ADSL internet over these lines.
The speed limit in most urban areas in the UK is 30mph. If we had walkways like this, it would eliminate the need for almost all transport (save freight kinda things.)
If you have ever read the comments sections of the yahoo news posts you will realize that half of all people are dumber than average, and they all have a yahoo account.
And that would impact the UK's access to the internet how? The "kill switch" appears to be a system to shut down American's access to the rest of the world and vice-versa.
It's her own contract she doesn't want to pay the termination fee on and she's trying to use her husband's death to guilt-trip Verizon into waiving the fee. Pretty tacky really.
In the UK it's common practice to pay for Electricity & Gas by fixed monthly Direct Debit, and you receive invoices on a quarterly basis--effectively paying in advance.
"StarCraft 2 will require a single online activation using the company's Battle.net servers, after which players will be allowed to play the single-player game to their hearts' content, without being forced to have a persistent Internet connection."
It doesn't seem this game will be EOLed, activate once only...
NASA is MOST effective when they are doing something without precedent. Then NASA is developing something new which no one else might have done, and which may not have economically rational given the risk of failure.
How can we tell if they're being effective, if it has never been done before? What are we comparing it against?!
Personally, if it ever comes to a cyber war, I think it will boil down into a World War kind of thing. One side will cut ties and allegiances will be made. The West will be on their own private network and the rest of the world on theirs, creating two out of sync "Internets".
Considering the significant language barrier between the East and the West, what would we (in the west) really be losing out on?
Denmark obviously thought it was worth investing in this experiment to see if the things tried worked and were viable long-term. I would expect the aid given was an initial investment and not an ongoing requirement for the sustainability--sort of like venture capital.

DOSbox does a really good job with older PC games, and WINE can probably do marvellous things with old windows games :D
Do the old Mac operating systems not have a WINE/DOSbox equivalent?
I assume all those apps will have offline support through a compatible web browser anyway?

And does it even have "windows" at all?
Why should any legal process ever cost this much? It's obscene and I doubt the costs actually represent the real value of the process...

Android itself is an open operating system, it seems to me that the carriers or handset manufacturers are the ones that lock it down.
The simple fact the platform is completely open makes it trivial for the Android dev scene to provided rooted versions of any new release.
HTML5 is not a defined standard yet, it's still very much a work-in-progress (although I do dislike Flash also.)

This is the most realistic episode of Cribs to date.

In your country, a heterosexual couple can actually get married.
A gay couple can't, the unmarried heterosexual couples are depriving themselves of the benefit this type of contract provides by choice.
Yes. Yes they are.
And that would impact the UK's access to the internet how? The "kill switch" appears to be a system to shut down American's access to the rest of the world and vice-versa.
So is getting married... People should think of these ramifications before they sign a contract with their partner.
Only to someone who doesn't play Farville.
(disclaimer: I have never played Farmville.)
This woman didn't die, her husband did.
It's her own contract she doesn't want to pay the termination fee on and she's trying to use her husband's death to guilt-trip Verizon into waiving the fee. Pretty tacky really.

I'm pretty sure my mobile network stores all SMS messages I send though... (P.S I think iConji is a dreadful idea.)

Yet oddly we can still bank online securely...
