Do we know enough to be able to build a virtual machine to emulate the environment in which the Genome operates? In other words, can we feed the known genome in at one end and get a simulated person out at the end?
I am not a GPL guru and not a software freedom fighter.
OK but if you want to sell software you need to understand licensing.
2. Can I statically link the code with Linux libraries? (My own experience shows that dynamic linking is too much to bear.)
Yes, glibc is licensed under the LGPL which is compatible with non-free software.
3. Can I obfuscate my code (e.g. encode it)?
I suppose so, but unless you are some kind of algorithm genius (and I don't think you are) it is not really going to be worth anybody's while to do reverse engineer it.
I have read elsewhere that the Volcanoes on Io are probably no bigger than a hot spring geyser on Earth. The plume goes up a long way because of the very thin atmosphere and low gravity.
Even so, given the energy cost of getting there and the amount of radiation in the environment around it this moon is going to be unfinished business for the next 500 years or so.
Google doesn't care if the search tool is bundled or not, they just want MS to expose some why to turn the thing off.
This brings to mind disk compression back in the '90s. Third party tools emerged to fill the gaps in Windows, then Microsoft filled those gaps and the suppliers of those products got a little bit upset. I know that there was an IP issue about that specific example which makes it different so maybe its a bad example.
To take an extreme position, what if google has an alternate kernel which they think people should run. Should Microsoft be made to provide a way to turn off the normal kernel?
One thing that surprised me was the fact that it will be the first spacecraft to orbit two seperate targets after launch. For some reason I did not think that this was a difficult thing to do, though now that it has been brought to my attention I can understand why.
Well, most of the Apollo missions orbited both Earth and the moon. The Lunar Module orbited the moon on two separate flights, before descent and after ascent.
One of my co workers was trying to get Microsoft licensing to explain...
I know this is OT but a couple of days ago I was in the toilet at work and noticed a Microsoft software brochure on the floor with the words Microsoft licensing prominent on the side facing me. I appreciated the effort of the person who left if there because the toilet paper could run out, you know.
Cvs is already done right. These would-be improvements are pointless.
I manage a 7 GB CVS repository serving 200 developers and you are totally wrong. If I could get buy-in from the 10 or 20 relevant stakeholders I would change to mercurial in a pinch.
We, and everybody else in the DARPA Grand Challenge, had big red EMERGENCY STOP buttons all over the vehicle. Everybody with robots of non-trivial size uses those things.
I am not surprised. Years ago my Dad got thrown out of a small boat he was driving and got to spend the next 10 minutes treading water while it did loops around him. We fixed the problem with a reed switch and a magnet on a string. Similar idea but more fail safe because if it gets away from you then it stops automatically.
So what's that, 16 gigabytes of information to describe one person. But this is a DNA profile, not necessarily something which can be turned back into DNA.
I think we need more behaviour modification specialists (including psychiatrists) over the simple cry for vengence when we make laws against spamming.
I know a guy who runs an SMS "advertising" company. There is absolutely nothing broken about this person except that he has a strong instinct about making money. Its a bit like the difference between Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. One wants to be nice and hack technology. The other wants to get rich.
All you need to be a spammer is a belief that if a buck can be made out of something then it should be made.
When it comes right down to it, do you really have confidence that a judge and/or jury will impose 65 years of incarceration for sending penis pill emails?
Frankly I don't think he deserves it. OTH Kevin Mitnick was banned from using computers for a long time. Maybe something similar should happen here, along with a proportionate sentence.
It worked in Footfall but the world was being attacked by aliens in that book. Saudi terrorists are not aliens and I don't think Larry and Jerry are the best people to call on unless you want to be told to strike back with an Orion pulse rocket.
Given a more real world scenario I suggest the Homeland Security Department look to people who really were thinking ahead during the 70's and 80's and ask them to think ahead from now.
I have a seizure disorder myself. What surprises me about ECT is that nobody has gone to the trouble of isolating the site and mechanism of the positive effects so that the treatment can be better directed.
Electrocuting somebody's head is a pretty stupid thing to do in this day and age because you are going to be operating on different parts of the brain at the same time.
They should be getting neurosurgeons to position electrodes deep into the brain for this kind of thing but I imagine that the neurosurgeons would then question the whole idea of ECT and the idea would get nowhere.
At the end of the day all of us pay for the clutter created by domain names which exist only to capture page views. Presently to put a domain on line you just need to pay for registration and hosting on two DNS servers. The distributed nature of DNS takes care of the rest.
Should a way be found to make domain squatters pay the true cost of their collections?

What about users of Opera? Doesn't google still get every URL they visit?

What about sex?

For Hurd?

Unfortunately not because the bit which listens for commands from the Earth is off.

The funny bit is that the Apollo ALSEP stations would have done the job perfectly except they were switched off after the Apollo program finished.
We are suspicious of microwaves but we absolutely bathe ourselves in infra-red radiation from heaters, open fires, the sun, etc.

Probably aiming for April 1 and missed.
