Maybe I'm expecting too much of clients, but don't they realize that just because you offer one version of your code under a 'closed-source' license doesn't make it substantially different code than the open-source version?
Like I said, I'm probably being naive and thinking clients will be logical.:-o
Not that I disagree about the US slipping in investing in basic research, but there are highly intelligent people in other countries, too. Innovation is not a zero-sum game.
As someone who used to commute via bike, I say it's pretty freaky having a hybrid come whooshing by, even if it's in a different lane. Almost as bad as a city bus, which has it's engine in the back so you don't hear it until the bus is practically on top of you. A little audible warning would be nice. It doesn't need to sound like a Harley to be effective.
Indeed, it would be political suicide for anyone to lower the alert level now. Just look at the hysterics over the recent changes to missile defense strategy in Europe, and that's just a shift in priorities, not an actual lowering of the guard.
And of course, Murphy's Law indicates that the next attack will take place right after they reduce the alert level.
The author mentioned that she got dizzy more quickly when spinning while wearing the device, than without it. However, this is probably due to the lag time of the device itself, more than the (indirect) connection to her brain.
I was thinking the same thing. You could even have a few different encrypted directories on the same disk, with different passwords, and claim that one of them was an early attempt at encryption, and you can't recall the pwd anymore. Would the last_modified date on the encrypted file give it away?
I'm curious what the British authorities would do in that situation? Hook you up to a lie detector?
They can scrape & repave large sections of a highway in a weekend if using asphalt, compared to weeks for cement. Of course, if they're doing cement it usually means they're tearing up the whole road and rebuilding it from the bottom up. Also, when the top layer of cement wears out, they often throw a layer of asphalt over it to extend the road's life a few more years.

Exactly. Some school systems (or teacher unions, whatever) are run this way - no SS, in exchange for a guaranteed pension.

The very last screen on the main page has a microscopic (not to be confused with tiny) url: www.last.fm/music/Denny+Schneidemesser.
Fujitsu's cheapest new tablet PC may be $1,149. Why would he use a brand-new machine?
Here's something much closer to his price, and ought to be more than capable of viewing PDFs.
That must have been the hardcover edition of the ebook!
Do you have kids in school? That's the ticket to catching every bug that passes through town.

Great - now they're going to outlaw beer bottles!
Maybe they'll outlaw clothing, too, to eliminate rags.

sponges are also full of germs. better stick to a good hand-rubbing. ;-)
It's Mission Control's fault, for calling the Toshiba Satellite tech support number.

Maybe they'll call it "SQRL in a Nutshell"?
Maybe he needed the laptop in order to manage his Ebay 'store', where he could sell the other stolen items.

I believe we've just witnessed the birth of a new Slashdot meme.
