Anyone who puts a small gloss on this fundamental technology, calls it proprietary, and then tries to keep others from building further on it, is a thief.
Isn't this the bit where all you illegal music-sharers are meant to jump out of the woodwork and complain that it's not theft, but copyright violation or whatever?
Yeah - I have the same problem with kernel and compiler releases. I don't care about those, I just want to run my browser. Who needs to know about all that developer rubbish? If I wanted to know about that I'd go to some sort of nerd-news site.

Hey guys, I don't get whats the big deal? I downloaded a ton of these 85 to 150KB ".exe" games off kazaa yesterday. They never seem to run tho[NO CARRIER]
Do you see? That's instantly at least 1337% funnier. Remember this trick for next time.

My first language is English. I learnt:
French from age 9 to 18
Spanish for one year at age 12
German from age 12 to 16
This would appear to align with your theory, although I would add that the same effect was noticeable amongst my classmates. Some had no trouble with multiple languages, and others had trouble thinking straight on the day where we had three contiguous lessons in different languages!
I know this is going to start a huge discussion of religion in general, but if I can save one person's soul, it's worth it.
Read Revelation 13 and 14. Take your time - this is one of the most obscure bits of the Bible that is very hard to relate to real life.
Note what happens at 13:16 - financial transactions are now dependent on some sort of mark (implant?) on the right hand or forehead.
Skip forward to 14:9, and see what the third angel says. Anyone who takes the mark is out of reach of the salvation through Jesus that all those pesky evangelicals keep trying to push on you. That is your only bridge to eternal life in paradise burned.
Think about it when the time comes. I know that this particular article is about helping paralysis, and that's great. Just be aware of the danger. Imagine one of those annoying "Are you sure?" dialog boxes.

OK, suppose you already own an expensive system that doesn't support it? Or what happens when Coca-Cola launch their own system that doesn't work with your new iTunes-compatible system?
I do agree with your original point, which is that the largest use of this tool will be to engage in theft - sorry, "copyright violation" - for file sharing purposes. Trouble is, there's no useful middle ground between flexibility and control.
Once people start obeying the law, maybe things will improve. Sadly, this will never happen.
I disagree. Look at how some people find picking up new languages (I'm not talking computer languages, although the same principles probably apply) really easy, and other people of similar apparent intelligence seem to have a complete inability do this.
It must be down to differences in thinking. During my bike ride across France, I found that after only a couple of days of "immersion", I was thinking and dreaming in French, despite having a relatively limited knowledge of the language. I'm not claiming to be elitist (should that be 31337157 round these parts?), but I'm sure that some people clearly have a particular gifting for languages.
No wonder these guys keep getting foiled, if they're stupid enough to use unencrypted email. I'm assuming that the NSA doesn't yet have the ability to routinely brute-force all encrypted mail passing through its doors...
My company's website is getting nailed from a handful of IP addresses that do nothing but datamining. We've come to the conclusion that captchas would penalize joe user and we're going to move forward with some applications that throttle requests by IP.
"some applications"?! Can't you just block a handful of IPs at the firewall? You do have a firewall, right?
Sounds to me like you have insufficient RAM. 2.5" disks are, in general, slower, and if your system is being forced to page a load of stuff out to swap in order to fit the new processes in, it will slow down.
The picture on the Discovery Channel coverage is not the asteroid in question. I know this means I need to get out more, but I instantly recognized that picture as 243 Ida and its tiny satellite Dactyl.
No, not the guys or their program, it's you lot. Yes, you complaining about "infiltration", "trojans", "illegal use of the 'victims'' computers" and so forth.
What's the matter - someone doing something to break up your cosy little gang of illegal copyright infringement?
So what if it's just cable-connected kids they're tracking - it's still infringement and should be punished, or at least discouraged. I'm all for this.
If you create a 400GB array using 4x100GB drives, you end up with one-quarter the reliability of a single 100GB drive. This is RAID-0, which doesn't really fulfill the "R" bit of RAID.
You need something like 3x200GB drives to make a RAID-4 or RAID-5 array of 400GB, which can withstand a single drive failure.
Well, you succeeded in trolling and being flamebait. I don't believe there's anything in Scripture that precludes extra-terrestrial life. The Bible is truth, but not exhaustive truth. If you want to learn Perl, for example, the camel book will be significantly more use to you than the Bible.
Seems to me like you have a real problem with the Church. Not surprising, given how much of it behaves, but that doesn't alter the *fact* of whether or not God exists.

I run three web sites off an old P100 with two old 1GB drives as the main storage in RAID-1 configuration.
I hate it when people waste old hardware that could go to good use!

vi. No, wait...
Just like all those kids whose first computer experience was ENIAC are still using punched tape...

OK, I choose Whitespace as my language of choice. My solution is on the other side of the page...
In fact, it definitely was not used to discover Pluto. Pluto was discovered in 1930.
Just give it six years or so, and you should see the improvements you are waiting for.
This makes me really angry!
