Don't give me that emotional bullshit. I did not mean an acceptable risk for me, but in terms of operations; that is, for the navy, army, or whoever operates it.
Your argument is silly and can be applied to just about anything. Say, what if a cruise missile messes up and kills a family 800 miles away? It's an acceptable risk, and it does happen, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
It should be noted that the "research" was done with a video game and no actual tests have been conducted on real cars and situations. This does not mean the techniques cannot be applied in real situations, but just that it has not been done yet.
That is besides the point. Anyone reading the thread title would assume MS actually DID sue, which they did not. The anti-MS atmosphere in here is unbearable.
You're being an ass. Remixing does not just use samples: it uses significant portions of the original. Being an electronic musician, I know that to be true. Perhaps you should learn before acting like a jerk?
I was being a little sarcastic, but you can't say that companies are not to blame for this, even if partially. The items NEVER LEFT THE LOADING DOCK. Blame the schools for that, as well?
Of course not, but as any human, there is some satisfaction in being the first and in going down in history for getting there first. Scaled's has a lot of experience in that area and are very heavily funded, so it would not surprise me. The end is the same, but I doubt any of the competitors who are close to flying want to come in second or worse.
I may not want my work to be remixed by anyone, and if I decline permission, your whole effort will be wasted. Thus, with DRM or without, it will make sense to get consent before moving forward. If you are so sure I will approve for promotion of my own name or otherwise, then get permission.
If you are a remixer, you can either get permission (as there is no use in commercially non-viable material) or use a non-DRM artist. You can make all the records you want, just don't use other people's hard work in your own without permission. If you remixed my work and got a record deal without my consent, I'd sure as hell be pissed about it.
There is no such thing as true democracy and there never will be, so live with. Human nature dictates that cliques will form, the power-hungry will essentialy enslave the power-less, and a sort of dictatorship will take place and the interests of the rich will be protected. DRM IS NOT the same as censorship: it is the control of intellectual property.
So don't be surprised if some companies take htr same concept, put a less 1984-esque label on it, and market it successfully to people. DRM is here to stay, in one form or another, and for better or worse.
I have been following Carmack's progress since almost day one, but will they make it? Unless something horrific goes wrong with the Scaled Composites airplane, they will win the prize. They have already made a couple of high-altitude flights and are working towards a launch in THREE DAYS!
When hydrogen peroxide is passed through screens of silver and stainless steel (and sometimes other metals and elements, like potassium permaganate), a hot steam is produced, which propels the rocket forward. The Germans used this in the V1 rocket (to spin the turbo pumps) and in the ME-163 rocket plane.
...or any other instrument maker, for that matter. I make music with pre-existing instruments. It does not strike my fancy to design, test, build, show off, etc., any unique instrument, because for me, that would be a waste of time. However, I have been known to use an upside-down trash can now and then.;-)

The total thus far is 3,429. As for the number of pirates, it is in the millions and millions, for sure.

...to block RF? I'm sure you can select what frequencies by the size of the mesh. Though not as cool as wallpaper, that's for sure.

Suing and threatening to sue ARE NOT equal!
Is that anything like the Creature from the Black Lagoon?

He's talking about remixing by using a large portion of someone else's creation. This is not the same as sampling.
I hope they get punished adequately for this. Companies never seem to learn that such acts - if discovered - will be hazardous to their business.

Or "AT THEM" - "Anti-Terrorism Multimedia Management."

You are correct: I intended to write V2.
Good luck, John, but Scaled's launch is three days away. Will you be attending and do you expect they will take the prize?
That's 62 miles, not 20.

Maybe I misunderstand your post, but NO plane can fly at 100Km. You must have it confused with 100K feet, which some high-altitude planes can reach.
