The Internet (and its subset, the web) are the common spaces which commercial enterprises rely on. They are the streets and roads which connect the shops where consumers choose to buy Coke, Pepsi and Big Macs. Without those common spaces there would not be Coke and Pepsi. Only one would remain in business because Coke could have bought up the roads and made sure they would not stop at shops which sell Pepsi.
The engineering platform I am currently (and reluctantly) using uses systems supplied by corporate IT. As a result we get hit with software updates and tools of dubious benefit with interfere with our application when we run it. Engineering nodes (and particularly operational nodes) should always be managed differently from the administrators laptops, etc.
Presumably the IP addresses would work as well, and failing that, use a different DNS provider or a local hosts file. Seems like a bit of a waste of time for the Belgian courts.
There may be a difference between a tool which collects evidence for a trial and a tool which collects information for investigators. The latter tool could plant information to help drive an investigation by (say) falsifying communication between conspirators.
Yeah IIRC karma on digg depended on the people who had friended you and their karma, so it was aimed at generation-Y but they all went to facebook and twitter in the end.
It may have something to do with the sky being divided into northern and southern hemispheres. If there were two telescopes doing this work one would be in each hemisphere.
Hmm. I lined my last house with tongue and groove pine boards and noticed that adjacent boards contained slices through imperfections in the original trees. This is because the boards are produced, processed, transported and installed serially. So maybe the metal structural components of the house have a shared history? If they get heated in a foundry the magnetic poles will be free to align against the prevailing field, which could be quite strong if there is a lot of DC current around. Then they get stacked and installed in the house, still in the same orientation relative to each other.
The discussion software on digg started out as being pretty bad, then went downhill with every pointless iteration. The operators of the site seemed to be at war with the users.
Yeah my son plays piano and we attended a graduation ceremony where every child played one piece. One boy spent the whole time fiddling with a bit of string attached to his father's bag. When it was his turn to play his parents prompted him to walk down to the front of the room where he stood for a bit, clearly put off by the number of people there. After a moment he sat down at the piano and played like practically nobody I have ever heard before. Then he finished, walked back to his seat and continued to play with the bit of string. I don't even that this is autism. I think its asbergers. This boy who can only play with string and play piano brilliantly has high functioning autism.
The fact is that the USSR and the US were willing to bankrupt themselves and each other to win the cold was. The US was concerned (at least in the early 1960s) that the USSR could build a base on the moon, so they needed to develop their own capability for lunar missions. The expenditure on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo was orders of magnitude higher than any comparable civilian R&D programme. It existed because of unique circumstances and it is unlikely to exist again.
Having said that I do think that manned space exploration suffers from a lack of good objectives. The moon would be fairly easy but its been done. Mars is a can of worms because that planet has a relatively deep gravity well. Mercury and Ceres are difficult to get to because you have to cross a significant part of the gravity well of the sun, and the corresponding return is too low. For me, the best target we should aim for is Titan. As a successor to the ISS we should assemble a deep space vehicle large enough to have lots of redundancy. Equip it with ion drives with power from fission reactors and photo-voltaic cells. Plan for missions to last at least ten years.

He lives in the US anyway. Tax exile.
Its a great way to run Linux in places where installing Linux is strictly forbidden.
Tim Berners-Lee did have a vision
Well he was working at CERN. I wonder if Tim wants to tell us more about those FTL neutrinos?
Sorry, the patent on FTL is held by God and not licensed for use by mere mortals.
And yet it works. We had a glimpse..

Nobody would have used the patented internet. Look at all the commercial protocols which failed to take off. DECNet for example.

Its not the World Intellectual Freedom Organisation.

Much easier to retrieve the ball.
And this would affect their hard drives and TV how, exactly?
No argument there. Just discussing the ways that a field could be present.

Discussions on reddit more closely match a conversation. We don't all talk for a minute then wait ten minutes for a long reply.
I have a $99 touchpad and for what it is worth I think webos is perfectly okay. I won't be putting android on it.

Tomorrow when the editors queue the next day of stories.

t'd be like approaching GM to get information so you can sue people for driving cars. It's not in their interest to sell, no matter the money.
Imagine, hypothetically, that GM were going broke...
So, I guess amateur radio operators have been infringing since, what... the early 1900's? Voice is just data, right..?
Morse code is digital with a different encoding scheme.
Teletype was used from about that time too.
