Well, wouldn't you expect an intelligent enemy to take advantage of that bug too? Not that I'm suggesting that B&W's AI became aware of a bug in the game all by itself, but it's worth a thought...
So, where do you find the business case that justifies web designers all over the world spending even 10 % extra time to specify the information needed by the Semantic Web???
if it would mean that their sites would rank higher in the search results, I'd say that they all would...
I beg to differ; this serves to bolster the legal foundation of Linux, which imho is one of the most crucial tasks if we are to spread our beloved OS to the mainstream.
What we need is a JavaScript white list extension for Firefox, so that JavaScript is only enabled on a select few sites (sort of like the popup blocker and the XPI install thingie.)
1. Patent the use of the name "Micro-Pop" 2. Wait for MS to make a cereal which will undoubtedly be called "Micro-Pop" 3. ??? 4. Sue Microsoft 5. Profit!!! 6. Wake up...
This is why science and religion shouldn't be mixed. One seeks to explain the world through evidence, the other seeks to explain the world through faith.
I think VR will only be successful when it involves all of your senses in a way that makes you wonder whether or not you're in the real world or a virtual one.
I do think that private companies, regulated by the state provide the best service. Trust me, state held monopolies aren't that keen on lowering their prices.
We've been having something like that for years here in Denmark, though it works a bit different. The speed of the car is determined (i think they use infrared light or something,) and if it's too high (you get a ticket if you drive more than ~10% faster than the limit) there's automatically taken a picture of you. That picture (all but the driver is censored, to avoid angry wives...), plus the date and time of the crime and the speed at that moment is mailed to you (along with the ticket).
What's really funny is that the US, which is the single most capitalistic country in the world, and praises competition, has much less competition in the cell phone industry than semi-socialist Scandinavia, where the service providers are regulated.
Here in Denmark the providers are required to cover the entire country (of course it isn't that big,) and vendor lock-in is avoided by forcing them to transfer your phone number to another provider if you want to.
Wait... Aren't inmates in the US allowed to vote?! That's just sick.
Voting is the basic premise on which the democracy is based - not allowing a part of the population to cast their votes is a *very* bad idea. Need i mention the blacks in the south up until, say, the sixties? Was that democratic?
Many playstation games have built-in support of dual shock (the controller shakes when you're shot, blown apart, etc. etc.), maybe that signal could be used to trigger the stun gun instead?
Just release them under an appropriate license, such as Creative Commons. That way you can ensure that your work can't be used commercially (legally, that is.)

I mean Denmark, Scandinavia, Europe, you redneck!
Damn Americans...
I've just made a quickie with Inkscape. How about this:

I'm sorry, but Microsoft has already patented the use of the 'Hello World' string. Better luck next time.
All I want to know is when I can use Google Maps here in Denmark...

I guess Microsoft finally found a purpose for PassPort...

Hey, I just saw this on Mozilla Update: NoScript
What a coincidence, eh?

I don't care how much stuff it's downloading and executing

Then why aren't you using IE?
They have been the first to adopt new and good ideas so many times, it's just amazing.
Most notably they de-criminalized cannabis! Wohoo!
Why does the editor then call the poor guy Alfred, when his real name is Robert L. Noble?

I agree - though i really don't pity the telcos...
Bottom line: we have full coverage, more competition and lower prices.

These devices are manned, though.

Nevermind.

The ideological middle here in Denmark would be, say, 10 miles left of the Democrats...
You've obviously never been to a place that's even remotely socialist - I have yet to see an actual, hardcore socialist politician in the US.
