Another Canadian political party siphoning off left-leaning voters.
Hey! I consider myself a small-c conservative, but I mostly support the ideas of the pirate party. Don't think they're just a bunch of lefties. Freedom isn't factional. I think the problem is we don't separate people's political/economic views from their social views. I believe that socialism belongs in..well... society. People should take care of each other, because they want to, because they think it's right, or whatever. But government should be more conservative. And I think there are many more like me.
I'm really tired of this right vs left thing, and whether an idea or policy is right wing or left wing.
You can believe in social socialism and political conservatism and economic liberalism without being inconsistent.
A real conservative would believe in staying the hell out of the whole copyright mess anyways. And a real socialist would believe in legislating everything. So how did this get turned around?
I just wish there was a conservative party to vote for that wasn't socially conservative.
um, I hope that isn't what it's supposed to do, because if it's an active IR system, it's gonna be waiting billions of years to get a return signal. I think what you mean is it'll be detecting the IR that is already out there.
The best security is to pick an obscure poison. Take it in small doses until you're immune. Coat the keyboard with it. Better yet, get a keyboard that automatically dispenses the poison. Evil maid now equals dead maid.
My only problem is, now that the maid is dead, who's gonna hide the body?
If you are in the bio tech field then all of your processes need to conform to ISO13485. T
This is for medical devices. There is lots of biotech that is outside this area. I work designing DNA synthesizers, and they are not covered by this at all. There are ISO standards they may want to meet, but this may not be one of them.
I'm picturing playing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri for 10 years to practice up for my landing. I bet the lag on a networked game would really suck. But hey, if I'm gonna live 1000 years, what the hell.
Between meteor strikes, volcanoes, ice ages, and mosquitoes, they didn't have a chance. and all within the past 6000 years... the first lawyer was probably the deathknell.
So if you take a few 3/8 inch bolts out of your Ford Escort and use them in your 'vette, it's no longer a vette? Genes are more like nuts and bolts in a car. you could even put the whole alternator from your escort and put it in the vette, and the battery. It'd still be a vette. Where the limit is, I don't know, but a few parts is not a car.
Also, taking a gene from one thing and putting it in another is not as unusual as it seems. For example the fish gene they put in tomatoes already exists in tomatoes, it's just different. So you get increased production of the product, which allows tomatoes to resist frost better. you could just as easily evolve the tomato gene to do the same thing, but it would take a few thousand years.
first they say:
would not need rockets or propellant of any kind and then immediately after, say:
fire a beam of charged particles into space ..how is this not a propellant?
"in this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
The other option is to use the U.S. bill of rights. Since it keeps getting smaller, you should be able to store it on smaller and smaller objects. Eventually it could be stored as a binary 0.
You're perfectly correct. The point is, as long as we do this at a small rate, nobody will care. If there is ever a critical mass of these machines around, then we will have a problem. So don't tell your non-geek friends.
Geeks run the world, we watch our shows when we want, commercial free, and archive them on disk.
Fear not, if it's cat pix you need, I have the cure.

And just stick to FireFox and we won't worry about IE7. Besides, you don't want Microsoft to know about our cat fetish...... it seems I've already said too much.

Wow, you're too bitter to be a Canadian by birth, and you didn't apologize once. So..er.. where you from originally?
which would make it very odd indeed.
Search in google "filetype:torrent Wolverine" and see what it gets you.
why would I do that? I already got it weeks ago off the Pirate Bay.
It can inject passing prey with a venom-loaded bite
and later
this nocturnal, insect-eating animal
must be pretty small teeth to be able to inject insects with a poison.

Trade ya Vermont for Quebec. but no trade-backs.
Facts? I think you want Digg. This is Slashdot. We never let facts get in the way of a good discussion here. Especially if it means R'ing TFA.

..we decided selling them stuff was more importantFor example, selling them pot.

and you can quote me on that.
Military work on the side? I may have a few jobs for you,my neigbour is really beginning to piss me off.
Since when does "kill trees" come under "do no evil"?
I hope they use recycled paper.

This must have been written by the same guy that submitted the "EMI &mdash Ditching DRM is Going To Cost You" thread. Man, that guy sure gets around.

if you put up a file for sharing named "star wars:episode 1" and it's just a blank file, aren't you comitting wire fraud?
how am I supposed to get first post if I read the summary article?
