"the ability (and willingness) to quarantine "sites" that pose a potential "public health risk" to the rest of the 'net" is not, and never will be "good (from a personal liberties standpoint)".
Yes. And the pigs will start flying any minute now. You underestimate:
1. the huge amount of friction going on in a company that size. No project EVER sees the light of day in the shape its designers chose.
2. how many top-notch PR flacks you can buy when you have a war coffer as big as Microsoft's.
Go forth, and sin no more. That is, if you're not already working there.
There was. As the old, lame joke goes, in Soviet Russia, the editor pays YOU! Not only that, but copyright infringement cases have been successfully prosecuted there. I advise caution.
The problem, as always, is that mobile gaming is a technological solution in search of a problem. And it's not even a full solution at that. For the price of a top of the line phone, you can now get a handheld game platform w/ awful controls that can also do phonecalls if you try really hard. Not a good bargain by any standards.

Nice point, provided you provide some context w/it. There is tension between that and the better-known utterance "The spice must flow". Maintaining control over software without impeding its distribution and development is the fine line all producers of software, be they corporate or FOSS, must tread.
In Soviet Russia, laws and treaties are like the crust on apple-pie: made to be broken. Joke aside, this will be a singularity event. All speculation about "the future beyond nano" is moot, simply because the technology has unlimited potential.
Actually, the mushrooms ARE great. As in whopping big, and faster-growing than in other areas. Some of those soluble radioactive compounds that float in the groundwater and then get sucked up and accumulated by trees and dropped to the ground as dead foliage actually make great fertilizers. And boost cell growth.
Sure. The woofers should have a fairly narrow freq. range. Inductance is the word you're looking for.
Second law of car stereo dynamics: the louder the music, the cr4ppier the car.
Is it just me, or do the words "neutron yeld" have an ominous ring to them. Howzabout "cool fusion" based neutron generating devices - i.e. neutron bombs w/out the boom, just the killing power? You could sterilize cities like so many cans of shrimp.
There already are such viruses. Actually, most (successful) viruses we've seen this year drop a backdoor component which can only be called into action by "port knocking".
Ah. Well. Allow me to dissent, please. The breaking point for Windows is also hardware support. It's just that not many vendors are crazy enough to issue new hardware w/out also providing Windows drivers. The essential word here is "new". Did you ever try to install some "legacy" hardware in a WinXP box? Methinks the Mac people have gotten that part right, while also achieving total customer lock-in. IBM does same with their "big iron" products.
I suppose 1 GB is a quite a large body of cryptext to start an analysis from... I think one should not use public facilities to store private data at all
"critical mass", you say. Would you say there's "critical mass" for bigger and better font manipulation tools in Excel?
Users are unable to find the right tools because the right tools simply do not exist within their range. I'm talking both about the mental tools needed to deal with the finer points of statistics and oabout the software tools.
A good (read: simple, without being inane) database front-end is no substitute for education, but it may help.
There is no "critical mass" because software producers are asking the wrong questions.
Q:"Do you want more features in Excel?"
A:"Yes!"
RealA: "No, I need a sane database manipulation tool, and Excel kinda looks like just might do the job if I don't find one."

Don't compare Clam w/ McCoffee... Almost nothing can beat McCoffee techs in terms of slowness. It's proven!

Been there, done that. Only, in my neighborhood, we used to use carbide. Acetylene has much more bang than gasoline.
The man is a heathen. One of the first things he did was to glue the orientable dual laser cannon in place. Heresy!!!

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! Is nothing sacred anymore? How will this impact the stock market, I wonder? Is it time to short Intel?

Offtopic, I know. But... Some of Folding@Home's ongoing research topics are double-edged, to say the least. So no.
Don't tell the straights, but someone from the cook brigade ac'lly found Troy (or something).

Dijkstra had it right, imo...
They were all the rage in the Secession War, when they were first used to give artillery observers a vantage point.
In other news, our heroic Floating Fortress shipmen have repelled yet another Eurasian attack.

I don't think you're trolling. However, your post is pointless, if /. is truly dead. Move along. As I will do, in quite short notice.
