Free market capitalism might not choose free open source, but ordinary folks would. 'Free Market Capitalism' can only operate when not everyone is a capitalist. If every employee is a budding entrepeneur, the whole edifice collapses.
Maybe she is obliged to vigorously defend her stuff in order to protect its value? Maybe this is part of the contract when someone pays to publish/license her work?
Oh Noes! The pesky Russians have outdone us again! Quick, grab some more tax money and set up yet another government department to issue licenses for WIFI! No, I haven't a clue what it is either, just do it! And make those biometric things compulsory with registration while you are at it. And DNA.
Whenever you buy a tv, (or a vcr or tv receiver doohickey for your pc etc) the person at the till asks you for name and address for their paperwork. I believe Mr Upyours of 11 Fictitious Mews, Madeupville makes all his purchases with cash, I get all my stuff via him.
"Hello, I am calling you to see if you wanted to advertise on our exciting new advertising medium targetted at skinflints who will use crap rather than fork out any money! Hello? Hello?"
I am heartened to hear that there will be enough quality content to saturate that amount of bandwidth. Or does he mean that the amount of spam and ad traffic will have grown to swamp teh intarweb? Or maybe Flash 74.2 will use 50 gajillion bytes/second to render static images on dilbert.com?
I would see that as a 500ms lag between wanting to press a button and your muscles pressing it(if that is the way the experiment recorded when the person felt the stimulus). Like when you play a game and see imminent disaster, you want to press shield or hyperspace or whatever (and may have a finger over that button throughout the game) but cannot press it in time. Apologies if it was done differently.
They could set up a much more interesting series of 'Robot Wars' (or whatever it was called in the states). Bolt a mannequin on top (i presume they are autonamous and target humans) of each robot and film the results of the robots roaming around some quarry.
You evil sicko! Don't you realise that artists are starving because of your actions? If you want to watch your film at home with friends, those friends need to bring that film on their _own_ disks and players too! I hope the mpiaa give you 50 years hard labour, you monster!
i had one of these http://www.gsmarena.com/ericsson_r310s-200.php a good few years ago. Never submerged it, but i did drop it 12 foot onto concrete with no harm done (by contrast, the nokias i had previously broke the display if dropped 3 feet) . If its water resistance is as good as its shock resistance it should be pretty good.
What is more remarkable than the new version of windows that will be delivered next year is that it will be distributed NOT by boxes of CDs on shop shelves, NOT by pre-installation on hard disks of new machines and NOT EVEN by microsoft update. It will be hand delivered by monkeys flying out of my butt.
What if this german official's fingerprint was found on a murder scene ?
Well, duh! The police and judicial system would treat him exactly the same as someone without any political clout or friends in high places, because there is no corruption in the ruling class.
I am sure you will get much less sympathy from the government agencies if you have an obsessive compulsion to 'not pay taxes' or 'drive faster than the speed limit'.
Hahahahahahahahah! I would like to know how you could do _anything_ in the uk without bureaucratic intervention, let alone spaceflight. You can't even leave a vehicle on blocks in your shed without filing a 'Statutory Off Road Notification', good luck assembling rocket propellant and testing radio telemetry gear.
What are you blithering about? There is no scientific merit to these experiments at all, it is just all a waste of time and money that could be better spent on something that would actually benefit humankind, such as a five-assed monkey.
Cool, but what is it capped at? Here in the UK £15 per month (about $30) gets you 3 Gigabyte per month plus £15 per gigabyte if you go over your limit.
Terrorists grow poppies in Afghanistan? I thought it was dirt-poor farmers that grew the poppies. How can they afford to terrorise the west while farming in some remote mountainous region? Do they commute by helicopter?
If the terrorists are the middle men in the drugs trade, the west should be dealing with the farmers. Buy all the dope they will bring to our fortress compounds, pay in dollars or euros or whatever folding currency, ship the stuff home and refine and sell it to the many people we have in the west who choose to take drugs.

Duh! The legal profession looks after its own.

... or any case hardened item.
... so does 'Eng' mean 'free of meddlesome bureaucracy'?

.. to making more email space available on their servers. 30mb isn't really much these days.
My God!

Jiminey jillickers! That sounds a good deal. Contrast it with this:
Broadband Max (7GB)
£25.00 per month
Contract length 18 months
Data Allowance* 7 GB monthly
Out of Bundle charge (Per MB) £0.10
So 1GB over the 7GB limit will cost £100
or will it be £102.40 ?
Cool, but what is it capped at? Here in the UK £15 per month (about $30) gets you 3 Gigabyte per month plus £15 per gigabyte if you go over your limit.
Mobile providers will drop the price of data plans only when they need less cell towers because they can bounce signals from flying pigs.
