  10. Re:Why?? on Why I Steal Movies (Even Ones I'm In) · · Score: 1

    Funding is irrelevant in this scenario, since it's implied that 'replicating it' carries a production cost of near zero for raw material. That means lots of prototypes, lots of trial and error. The only constraint is time for research and design, and when you have one million individuals, colaborating and contributing advancements, its far better than 4 or 5 large companies, essentially stagnating, copying eachother, producing the same garbage "new models" every year. In reality, when applied to cars, yes, you're right. In theory, and in the context of this conversation: which is using cars as a rough analogy for media, you're wrong.

    that article is for printers that do NOT use COM, LPT, or USB ports. USB Printers (most) redirect just fine if you specify the option in your RDP connection file. no registry tweaks required.

    I think you have that backwards. Apple releases the new update, which often re-jails the phone... and within days the hackers have another jailbreak. It's usually months in between when the jailbreak is released and when apple has the patch that fixes the hole.

But there's no evidence that there's NOT invisible pink unicorns living on the moon. I'm sure we'd all feel better if we knew for sure one way or the other. I'm sure such a discovery would win some kind of prize... Just as sure as I am that the pimples on my ass are more intelligent than are your thoughts on this matter. Your dermatologist wife agrees.

  19. Re:Insightful? on New "Drake Equation" Selects Between Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    Not counting ourselves is probably a smart idea, scientifically speaking. That method of reasoning minimizes the anthropic bias inherent in being part of the system we're trying to observe.

    Since all life on earth appears to originate from a common source, and we are part of that, we should exclude ourselves and our plant and animal cousins from the life count, intelligent or otherwise. It's possible that there's some completely different non-DNA based microbe at living far beneath the earth's crust, essentially alien life on our own planet. If we were to discover alien life on Titan, then... maybe we could start estimating. But even then, there may be a common source for that and life on Earth. Depends on how radically different the form of life we find is.

  20. Re:The answer is... on New "Drake Equation" Selects Between Alien Worlds · · Score: 1

    Humans and Dolphins have a common ancestor as early as 45 Million years ago. Maybe instead of going extinct the dinosaurs rapidly evolved, and left the planet to colonize the galaxy 50 million years ago. Maybe the Dolphins will do the same, but we'll probably do it first.

    The music itself isn't so bad. It's the lyrics and the singer's voice that make Nickelback bad. But most of all, it's their fans. I blame Canada.
