The USA has two ruling 'parties' since decades. Don't tell me this 'stability' is actually democratic. You will have the same parties in the future, without any disruption. Just like a North Korean ruler. The President is just a figurehead anyway, it is the people behind him that really rule.
I'm not disagreeing with most of TFA, but this part burnt my fuses.
"Popular culture in the late 1980s was also not short on visions of a heavily computerized, network-linked society. Most of these owed a debt to William Gibson's hit 1984 novel Neuromancer, a seminal work of "cyberpunk" fiction that popularized the term "cyberspace." Rather famously, Gibson has said he didn't know anything about computers when he wrote Neuromancer, so his vision didn't come from any remarkable insight into the technology. He was simply picking up on ideas that were already abroad in films such as Bladerunner and Tron from 1982, and in such novels as Bruce Sterling's 1988 award-winner Islands in the Net and the 1989 Japanese manga series Ghost in the Shell."
So Gibson picked up on stuff from 1988 to write a novel in 1984.
I believe, China won't try to start a war. 1. they are not fundamentalists 2. they already built their economy to work with the western economies.
They cannot afford a war and they know it. Only "small" fundamentalist states not integrated into the world would try to start something. North Korea, Iran and possibly Pakistan if taken over by the Taliban.
Why would a GPL licensed program appear in an Apple store? They know they cannot 'make available' the modified binary without license. And the GPL definitely won't give them the rights. As we read, this isn't the first case. So, this is willful copyright infringement.
The solution is easy: GPL'd programs cannot be sold for closed systems, since the end-user wouldn't be able to modify and run them.
Well, the US should, as a response, stop shipments of garbage abroad. Start processing electric junk at home to recycle rare earth and precious metals.
Well, some people survive a few dozen nails shot in their brain by a nailgun. But most don't. He just got one very thin but radioactive nail crossing the entirety of his head. I'm pretty sure he had a big chance to die, that beam was apparently able to burn through veins, it could have hit some main vein in his brain.
That's silly. The 'content owner' already identified the infringing material. So, why didn't they pick up the phone, and inform Google? Is that so hard? I'm pretty sure this lawsuit was lawyer business. And they didn't lose a cent regardless of the outcome.
Did the spanish try to send a takedown to Google, or they just run to the Court? One would think, sending an email is cheaper, faster and generally more effective.
Strangely non-evil, i would say benevolent, if i didn't knew better. But it happened too fast, after the first report...? I wanna read the whole script book.
If there were 10 livable planets in our reach, i would support keeping Mars intact. But we have only one Earth, and a half-assed Mars, that, with some adjustments could be made somewhat livable. A single 100km asteroid can destroy earth, but it is unlikely to destroy both Mars and Earth. So, i think it is humanity's best interest to colonise Mars as soon as possible (within 100 years).

Wasn't this a retaliation strike for falsely accusing Assagne?

You don't have to have child suicide bombers.
Adults can use the kid's toy to smuggle stuff on plane much more plausibly.
Patting down the kid was probably an excess though.
I'm sure the bear could have been given back, that would have calmed the kid.
Penetration testing should be part of the regular testing process. We would see fewer hacked stuff.
If a site is too obnoxious, i will just avoid it completely.

I think they forget that page caching is not a leak.
But we KNOW fire has been done before.

Gulp down a long thread of dental floss, next day, you'll see how pleasurable it is :P
How cheap is some code that:
1. reads an existing pattern
2. outputs that pattern via the known device interface.
Well, i thought the article meant it is "free as beer" :)
If intelligent design exists, that plant may store the genome of 49 different people besides its own.
I guess it is just spaghetti, but still...
Right, so patent trolls got the idea?

By the time China gets human rights, the rest of the world will lose them.

The aliens came all ways to Earth, destroy/occupy it, but they ignore Mars?

The only way is dual licensing.
