In the real world times like Monday March 29, @01:12AM come before times like March 29, @01:43AM, contrary to popular belief CTRL+F is not a time machine (unlike the PS3) and will not find posts made in the future.
yeah, I'll reserve my anger for April 2nd.
Cos right now I have the impression I may spend the rest of that week laughing at all the red faced anger that's knocking around here right now.
MS certainly does get the Streisand effect.
What better way to publish a fake privacy document. "Don't store your messenger conversations" yeah, right, what's this cable for then?
A lot of you seem really quite pessimistic, which is somewhat depressing tbh. How do you think these PHDs got their PHDs in the first place?
Via projects like openluna (which afait is a Uni spin out).
So here you have a project, dedicated to bring the work of those PHDs into the public domain and all you can do is bitch about it?
Whats more, they are not just going to lauch some "man and women" on the moon, its a stepped program starting with robotics. This kind of project is the only way I can see of us ever breaking the (extremely lame) government monopoly on space flight.
-> What can government do about conspiracy theories? Among the things it can do,
what should it do? We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1)
Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind
of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories. (3) Government
might itself engage in counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy
theories. (4) Government might formally hire credible private parties to engage in
counterspeech. (5) Government might engage in informal communication with such
parties, encouraging them to help. Each instrument has a distinctive set of potential
effects, or costs and benefits, and each will have a place under imaginable conditions.
However, our main policy idea is that government should engage in cognitive infiltration
of the groups that produce conspiracy theories, which involves a mix of (3), (4) and (5).

Consider, for example, the view that the Central Intelligence Agency was
responsible for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy; that doctors deliberately
manufactured the AIDS virus; that the 1996 crash of TWA flight 800 was caused by a
U.S. military missile; that the theory of global warming is a deliberate fraud; that the
Trilateral Commission is responsible for important movements of the international
economy; that Martin Luther King, Jr., was killed by federal agents; that the plane crash
that killed Democrat Paul Wellstone was engineered by Republican politicians; that the
moon landing was staged and never actually occurred.
The UK courts sent a summons to my wife's, friends, colleagues, husbands, best friends uncles numberplate of the car I was driving that was flashed by that speed camera a few years ago.
And were shocked and horrified that the person that turned up had no information to provide them on exactly who was purportedly going 2mph over the 30mph speed limit, but that person was great full for the 400GBP costs they received for making the effort.
Am I the only one who thinks Microsoft paid EA not to support Linux?
Just saying, hope it was worth it, because it means I can't offer them my support.
->Find me a species, mutated by radiation, that subsequently became dangerous to human beings. Anything at all. I don't care what kingdom, genus, family, what-have-you; anything from a virus to an animal. Harmless before, was mutated, now dangerous.
So that would be all life that's dangerous to humans then. Take your pick.
I'm all or supporting industry, but I didn't think car boot sales were so high up on the agenda.
Assuming most of these cameras will end up on ebay or car boot sales within a week of being installed.

If this is already being trailed in 2,000 homes, I think those should be claiming compensation
Basically, WTF?!?!?!?!?
Are you trying to say one of these photos is a fake?
because these high res images are 1m per pixel, and Apollo 16 is clearly no more than 3 meters away from the edge of that crater.
Of course, just because they faked the photos doesn't mean they faked the landings, it just means they spent a shed load of money doing something absolutely amazing, and forgot to wind the camera.
It happens.
Although given this is EA, who afaik have no linux support. I'm sure it will be good, but I doubt it will be good enough for me to go through the hassle of buying and installing another operating system for. So no good to me. Of course I have no problem with them not wanting my money, I just don't think its a very good practice.
That seems to imply the people who in general use an OS are one in the same as those who choose and install the OS.
Given the number of times my Vista Laptop used to furnish me with the lovely error message of "this cannot be done, please contact your technical administrator for assistance" before I upgraded it to Fedora, it's fairly obvious even M$ knows this isn't true. Quite how that passed you by is something of a mystery.
Being from the UK, dealing in AI work that is both time sensitive and something the idiots in power really want to get their hands on, this affects me directly.
My solution:
I developed a simple 'cryptocard', its a postscript file that consists of several random numbers printed on a credit card size piece of paper (and several different cards per page), all you do is remember a simple, constant password, that joins these random numbers together, new password needed, no problem, just print a new card with new numbers and use your old password to link the new numbers.
This has the added benefit, that if some idiot in a uniform wants your password, all you have to do is burn the card, and the key can never be recovered.
Wow, so create the indexes then. What's up with you all, this is elementary stuff. You lot are carrying on as if it's Y2K, not a few hours creating the required indexes.
the problem is not creating the indexes, the problem for the government is all the consultancy firms have: crontab -e 0 0 * * 1 mysql "UPDATE `pricelist` SET 'price'=('price'*2) WHERE `client_site` LIKE '%.gov%'"
defined on their servers, which is why the going rate for the UK government for a statement like "SELECT c.name, c.postcode FROM child_support" is 5,000GBP
Making a building not fall sideways is a complicated task that requires a lot of training and preparation. The thought that you can get three out of three perfect collapses by splashing them with a bit of aviation fuel must have demolition companies shaking in their boots

If I was a cynical man I would suspect this is just google trying to advertise orkut.
Although, The actual text used was:
o farsante, o namorado da sacristã, o pedófilo, roubo e sexo na igreja, o ladrão que tem amante
actually sounds like someone who was abused by him having a beef.....

Way to prove my point?
The world would be a much safer place if all these secret agencies *lost* their funding.
