We need a new way of distributing wealth. Something like a formula that goes over the global total amount of "money", and the amount of "money" per person, and turns that into real money.
Or perhaps a distribution of money based on the page-rank algorithm: every time somebody performs a useful task for another person, a "link" is created between the two persons.
There's tons of ways they could make ads more discernible. And they opt for a small yellowish graphical element that is barely different from the background color? That's not a +1, that's a -1 in my book.
As long as the ads are marked somehow, a user script will be able to suppress them.
If only some open-source organization would provide and maintain that script. It doesn't make much sense to spend an hour coding every time Google changes their markup, but if the script would be administered centrally, then it might be useful.

Muslims are right: Burqa's are the way to go...
There's also the possibility that they just glued the blocks together.
Apple, in constrast, makes sure any competitive app never sees the light of day:

AC was not talking about every problem, but about one particular problem.
The true reason for the production problems is that it's difficult to fit the tiny NSA module in there.
It is explained here:

Of course this seems attractive.
If only we had some numbers and an actual analysis here...
I presume you tried to use ascii art to make a stick figure.
However, using the fonts that are installed on my computer, that actually looks horrible.

People go out in public places all the time. Yes there are surveillance camera's in most entertainment areas. People just don't care enough.
I wonder how many serious papers actually use tau instead of pi...

Are you saying he is not constructing any models in this book, and is merely filling in numbers?
If only Slashdot's comment form allowed input of stick-figures, it might be the case that we wouldn't need Xkcd...

Conjecture: everything that has been told by Xkcd has already been said at least once by someone on Slashdot prior to it.
I wished he scientifically answered the following hypothetical questions:
1. What if patents were abolished.
2. What if copyright were abolished.
3. What if programmers ran Congress.
The question is more like: should humans stay away from those power lines as well?
No, the real problem is that all the tracks are pre-mixed into a single stereo track, leaving us customers with only a single volume knob to turn.
Figure out the theory of everything.
Then you can always recompute your data from scratch.
I don't understand one thing. The US DoD is supposed to be monitoring the earth 24/7 for missile launches, and they can't even track a plane?
Actually, those things are just "functional descriptions". The actual implementation is not covered in the patents.
This should void those patents.
How?
You can always use two salts (one based on the username/password if you like, and one fixed one stored in the device).
Not if one stores a long, fixed salt in the device.
(Here fixed means fixed over all users.)
