Yes. His only rebuttal seems to be something along the lines of "You open-sourcers think you're better than me?" It's the first element of the caption on the main page for crying out loud.
Or the movie companies could require the theaters to do what they did in cryptonomicon: put really big magnets in the doorways, so that all of the camcorders are destroyed. They could even post a sign about it to avoid being sued.
It is news, but you have to read between the lines. It is showing that Sun is desperate for any and all attention, especially good attention now that most people have figured out that Java sucks.
This sounds bad for the video game company, but it sure is a lot of free publicity. Maybe they did it on purpose to anger the Chinese after all./me smells a conspiracy to get more business by pissing off chinese!
why not a lighter than air rocket? By making a really long rocket with a big chamber for He (or why not H if it's significantly lighter, just be sure and post a no smoking sign), and let the helium take it as high as it can before turning on the conventional rockets? I'm sure it would require a lot less fuel than a conventional rocket, would have a naturally slowed descent, and it would allow the blimp to go to the moon.
Isn't it interesting how people are so quick to believe in benevolent and all-knowing alien species (which is always superior in every way to humans), yet cannot bring themselves to believe in God?
Well, that comparison isn't exactly fair. We believe that there are alien species out there, and you believe in God, but we already have one example of a species (us) as evidence. It would be like believing in Jesus but not God if we didn't believe that there are more species out there.
An intentionally-driving-over-a-cliff proof car...we must weigh the cost vs. the benefits. I believe that the car you described isn't worth the monetary value of a life. Just my opinion.
I can't stand those ads either. It is not possible to defend against humans from the inside. That's liek trying to build a car that is intentionally-driving-over-a-cliff proof.
Google would be the perfect people to take over the world. They could easily do it, too. Like in Cryptonomicon, with the online money thing. Sure, in the book, they didn't take over the world, but they took over the world on the Internet.

Yeah, when I want security enhanced, I'll stick with tinfoil hat, thank you very much.
Next logical stupid step. :P
Well, they already have flash memory watches, mp3 player watches, this seems like a logical step. Maybe camera watches next.
Hah! That's right, he said it was brought down. /. effect for ya!
But seriously, no one buy the book. If you must read it, go to a library.

No, warwarring is unauthorized use of an unprotected wifi used by smart bullets. These have authorized use of the wifi.
I wonder why the range is only 70 meters. They should hire those guys from New Zealand to make a system w/ a longer range.

they have those. It's called a shell account. ninjaskills.org has a good service like this, but I think you only get like 10 MB.
Of course it's random numbers generated by the Arethusa algorithm seeded with the string "COMSTOCK".

I don't understand, what is "custom" software? Software that you write or modify yourself or software used by customs?
I can see the new Guinness record now: 35 college students fit into rocket powered vw bug.

don't we have enough patents as it is?
Since when does looking at pr0n require that you be registered as a sex offender? And how was he caught?
Woot for tinfoil hat, but seriously, who knows what they do with their OS to log your info, and now if you get one of their WiFi dealies...
You want Phil Zimmerman, but I see no Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman.

That's about it. If it doesn't come w/ BitchX I'd probably install that too.
