The problem with some of the logic of this statement is that we can foresee all possible outcomes of genetically enhancing the sequence. I can think of white skin verses dark skin and sickle cell anemia. White skin is less likely to get frost bite but is more likely to get skin cancer. Wipe out that horrible disease sickle cell anemia, and you end up with the ability to get malaria.
Not to disagree with you, this is more an addition to a well thought out post.
I don't get it. Wouldn't a company interested in DRM want to be hidden under another layer of secrecy? Even if open source can produce a safer system, once their files were out there, Eventually some one would find a crack. Having a major backer does take care of the concern that the project will stay supported. Over all, to me, it seems like a clash of ideology (which the business may or may not care about) and trading a known technology for an unknown one (which they do care about).
As a member of the ACLU I can say that I do not think that they fear being hated by the "conservatives". Reading their literature it seems that they are pandering (not so much with their actions) to the scarred "liberals". Often their wording to me seems more inflammatory than constructive.
It is strange In a few ways I can see the ACLU and the NRA having some common themes, But I bet you will never see someone that is a member of both.
First a comment, I thought that the copies were given to the people and that the originals were kept by the library.
And a question, I thought that a PUBLIC library was a more modern idea and that the older libraries were more like modern private libraries. Did the library of Alexandria have any restrictions on who could use it?
I believe that I saw that program. It was interesting because the optics (accidentally?) filtered out a lot of the harmful sun rays and yet let plants grow well in the rooms (with decent light and fewer harmful rays) I seem to remember the plants growing actually better than the outdoor plants.
Maybe the technique has finally become cost efficient.
If you havent tried go, then I think it is about time to. It has a great handicap system for new players, yet allows people to improve over a life time.
1) This is old news. the government has been doing this for a while now.
2) I thought that law dictated that conversations could not be recorded without permission. Just telling someone that you are doing this is not getting permission.
3) Is the government getting warrants for this? If so, how many are turning up evidence? If all of them, Good job, if none of them, Then why are they waiting the judges time.
It reminds me of how Social security numbers were ONLY suppose to be used for social security. Now it is difficult to do anything without one. It may not seem like much, but as voice recognition software improves, this will become a powerful method of the government.
Think about this. Different light waves have different refractive indexes. A series of miniature prisms and you could direct the light to different strips of PV cells. This would capture both ranges of light.
The problem with the things like this is that many of these programs have an age limit of 25 (just like rentals) in the us because of insureance. In areas where this is most needed, I feel that this will not be a usufull option. This would be most usefull for young people that cannot own and can only rent.
Refractive indexes are different for different wavelengths. Wouldn't this give a rainbow effect like cheap binoculars? I also wonder about long term stability of the liquids and solid. I could see the images getting cloudy, but I guess not in the life span of a Cell phone. For a new technology, though, it looks promising.
Leonardo did not invent this concept. Childern of the day had toy heleecopter like devices. He did, however, have many additional innovations that were remarkable. It is sad how his innovations in so many feilds are over shadowed by his atributed inventions.
Okay, I already got nailed as a troll, but the way I understood it, they put effort into changing the format from paper to Jpeg or whatever. They do not get copy right information over the content but they have rights over the Image. I could not take these images and use them the same way as I could use images that I scanned from a Public domain book.
Project guttenberg has their small print because of editing, and the way they render their work, I just wonder what kind of small print the Library of congress will have.
How useful will this be? If you do not know the date and the page of the article you will not be able to easly find it.
Yah, you can page through the archives, but I am sure that these are not small images to look at and and band width is valuable.
And once thay scan it into didgital format, THEY will have copyright over the Scanned image. What kind of restrictions will they place over their new property?
I wouldn't doubt that their are strings attached.
"and for non-smokers, because there is obviously not passive smoking effect."
Yah as long as the smoker holds their breath. I knew pot smokers that would try to get all the THC by holding their breath or passing the smoke to some one else
Yes, some are curable, but most of these are more transmittable than HIV. Some can cause entry points for HIV. Even if they are curable does not mean that they will be. Dysentery is still killing and mostly curable.
Glom looks like a good start, but it is not mature enough for critical systems.
The biggest problems that I have had with Filemaker is that it cannot easily transfer Binary Large Objects, "BLOBs", to other databases. Think school ID photo. For this you need to use visual basic or other tools.
Good luck
I do not make chips, but if you make the chip larger woulden't that also cause it to expand and contract over a greater distance during heating and cooling?
Don't think the solder would like that
Everything has a limited life time, my question is what will the long term life be? If you had many small flash devices set up as raid, would it be cost effective to just replace the bad sectors without having to lose the entire "drive"?
Could this actually be more reliable?
"Not to mention the fact that it's probably illegal. DMCA, FCC, RIAA - need I go on?"
Isn't that the point of one of the earlier posts? What they do is illegal and nothing is don about it. Yet the only thing that the government seems to want to do is make sure that the people do not take the law into their own hands.
"..that the hackers will start targetting Mozilla"
This too would be fine. The thing is that a Mozilla/IE/Opra Exploit would hopefully not affect the other browsers.
I wish that the interfaces of such things could be intuitive like a tape recorder (and then CD players) or a car where you do not have to re-learn how to use it. The insides are all different, different makes have different problems, but a recall would only remove a small fraction from use.
Diversity of code, ability to read the same standards, and innovation in usability will help the safe flow of information for everyone.
I personally think that harsh and consistent punishment is the way to go for laws because it makes people decide which laws to make and follow.
J walking is illegal but has no enforcement. However, it can be used as an excuse to stop some one. The result is the roads are slowed down, pedestrians are less safe, and the police have a way to harass you.
The UofM had police monitor the cross walks, but only issued warnings. The result People needed a babysitter to cross the street at the expense of the U, or they just ignored the lights. A few undercover cops and $300 tickets would have changed the way people obey the laws...... Alternatively, it would have made people take the law off the books.
Same with drug laws. Yah, people say to be tough on drugs, how much time did Rush serve? Laws should have harsh and consistent punishment or they should not exist. By making them that way, people would have to decide.

I was thinking along these lines. An open PC to me would be one in which the hardware is not proprietary on it's set up. Nothing to do with the OS.

Glad to be proven wrong.

What about religious head coverings? Will people be refused this servuice because of burkas?

Cops and fire fighters get paid to do a job. If they go above and beond they may becom a hero, but just joining the force dosen't do it.
