Actually it's not akin. Tracking your location and recording your conversation are two different things, just as it's legal to videotape people without their knowledge but not to record their conversations.
I read the essay, but I couldn't find the passage where it talks about how essential caffeine is to programming. I think I'm going to have to go back and look harder...
Until the system is fixed so doctors and nurses don't have a constant case of jet lag from being up for different shifts every day, introducing new ways to prevent careless errors is the best way to save lives.
I think it is a low, because while I'm not in favor of legislating morality, I think this will actually give video games a hand up. Rather than people saying "Oh how dare the video game companies make games such as this that children can play!" once this legislation is in place, no one will be able to blame the game companies anymore. It will become "How dare the parents of these children buy (insert game) for them and allow them to play it!" Which should have been that already, but isn't.
And when children blame their misdeeds on the video game, the parents will be blamed and not the industry.
That beyond 11 miles out is international waters, are they allowed to do this? I'm pretty sure it's 11 because that's how the Cruise ship casino's operate, by going into international waters.
The meter is an arbitrary measurement of distance. We set the meter equal to something else, the distance light travels in x amount of time. If the speed of light changes, that means that yes the meter has changed, but the actual distance itself hasn't, just what we use to measure it.
How many different websites are going to put out top ten science stories of the year? Oh well, I suppose if enough sites put them up we can stop hearing people bitch about their favorite stories not being included because someone else will cover it.
This is an article that slashdot rejected from me, but still fairly pertinent.
Silicon.com reports that there's a new Trojan named Phel that takes advantage of the Help (get it?) controls in internet explorer. Though the expoit's been known about since October, Microsoft is still "testing" the patch, and isn't expected to release it anytime soon.
We'll get back to you on the joke being over once money stops being funneled to Halliburton in backdoor deals...
Well, I don't know about you...

I, for one, enjoy "cognitive overload." I revel in chaos, and sometimes I'll stay up all night, then go to sleep in my room when it's a freakin mess, the music on, lights on, window open, in my clothes, and in an unmade bed. Cognitive overload all the way!
Well that's great for texas, but in my state the houses are built pretty close to the highway. There's no way we could build something like this. For most states, this is not an option.
Now all he has to do is build his own apollo 11, and he's all set to go to the moon! He just has to pay a few hundred million to get the rockets to take it up.
FB: Would you accept a federal law in the United States to enforce the distribution of source code with every type of software?
RMS: I am not calling for such a law as of now, but I think that would be a valid consumer protection measure--like requiring food products to publish the list of ingredients.
Of course, some software companies would object to this, just as some food companies resisted the requirement to publish the ingredients and nutritional information. The question should not be up to them.
I don't think it's the same at all. Publishing ingredients in food is a lot different from publishing source code. Publishing the sourcecode is like sending someone the blueprint schematics of your new machine, practically inviting them to make their own; whereas the ingredients label doesn't list in what quantities the ingredients were mixed in at, or what time, etc. I know Stallman simply made a poor analogy, but I think he truly believes it.

If you had RTFA, they said it would only be flown during fair weather and the kites would be adapted to that days wind conditions.

Yeah the news is the government nixed stem cells. Sorry to be the one to report this.

You know, it's funny they should use that analogy, because every time I've used an Apple computer I've wanted lightning to strike me.
Step one: Find out name of evil twin from mother.
Yeah, I had 80% slippage my first time, too. But you get better after that and it's not as embarassing.
Oh, funny you should mention that, there was an earthquake this morning. 11,000 dead. Prophetic.
Digital is cool and all, but when I was in boy scouts we built an analog picture frame. Man, you should see the technical specs on it, amazing.
Lol, if you think that everyone going to hybrid design is going to stop ricers then you're pretty naive.
Man, it's a slow news day. Next headline: Man eats christmas dinner, says it's pretty good.
First of all, Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!
Sorry, not to be pedantic, but here in the US the "joy-wishing" adjectives are switched. Merry Christmas!

Brain implants! Finally, a terrabyte of storage in our brains. Now I can actually pass the calculus 2 final.
