Like a severly beaten slave showing the evils of slavery, and extreme example like this shows the evils of patents. It's an illogical system and will not last. If it gets backed up--well that can only be a good thing.
So does it have this rhythmic independent activity during general anesthesia too?
One thing I did hear about the thalamus is that it acts as a bridge between cortical areas as well--something of a "traffic cop" between different areas of the cortex.
Does anyone actually argue that grass has a soul? Look up the thalamus, it evolved in vertabrates and is likely where this "spark of consciousness" is.
Uh, do we care? We just want fusion power because it's cool--whatever environemntal effects it has is secondary. Oh, and if quantum computers or something like that causes global warming, then we'll just use more technology to make an equal and opposite global cooling. Technology forward!
Anytime now we'll have weapons that will shoot right through that science fiction book you're engrossed with, plus your kevlar vest, and through your vital parts.
...so anyone trying to write copyright-enforcing software will encounter a patent minefield. Actually, just abolish copyrights and patents--that's much better!
So you're with us on abolishment. But philisophically we can't be calling it creation, or else we'll get into the whole steal/copy thing too. Did leibnitz create calculus? But Newton already did? You can't create information.
You cannot create information. You can create a peeled orange from an intact orange. But when you sit down and write a song, somebody else can write the same song independently. Oh, and don't even try to use the word "steal"!
Parthenogenesis can only occur where a haploid individual is viable, such as in bees (that's how the drone males are produced). This is more closely hermaphroditic reproduction, similar to earthworms, where they exchange genetic material and both become pregnant.

What I don't understand is why can't you cut the line and put in something like a repeater. When you read a bit, you change that photon, but then you just transmit a clean one with the same value (or maybe even change it to confuse).
Luckily/.ers are libertarian. Home power is a great way to put your libertarian ideals into action! Check out "home power" magazine too--it's all about getting off the grid. Vote Nolan!
I'm trying to break into healthcare now. Patents and copyrights as evil--so at least I won't be directly patenting or copyrighting something. You can never fully get away from it (until we all wake up), but those Indians will have to deal with that on their conscience.
I feel like the one handicapped now, until these things get perfected in the paralyzed and then brought out to everyone. What could be more important than controlling the signals to and from your consciousness?
There's a region called the thalamus in the brain that appears to be where your actual consciousness lies. In the farther future, we'll input/output directly to this area. Then we'll see how to emulate it, and complete break from what we were before. This would be a critical event in the singularity--where we have trouble even grasping what happens after that.
One thing's for sure--we won't be worrying about something like FDA approval at that point.
If you just use AC'97, why would you get problems? And the new standard, azalia, should allow linux to work with much beter quality without individual drivers.

It's nice to see just one big-budget game that isn't copylocked--even if we libertarians cringe a bit.
On the private side, some donationware (freely given) or tipware (allowing you to tip extra if you like it) experiments would be nice.
Most anti-IP people are libertarians--especially on /. . Ideas can be copied. Grain cannot. My point is made.

Yes, this is the /. view! Technology good. Patents bad. But you got the artificial scarcity types on one side and the luddites on another.
I'd put this one on a similar plane as that "15 minutes of fame thing"--it just spread and people just regurgitate it. Like some cancerous meme.

Now who believes rocks are alive? Aha, contradict the original statement.

Then the gimp wouldn't have a problem.

Put it in your sig? Check some of argoff's comments, he really puts the case well against copyrights and patents. And don't feed those trolls.

Doesn't economics fall apart when "intellectual property" comes into play?
So I'm not the only geek with OCD? Lossy compression bugs the hell out of me!
