As argued by Hegesias of Cyrene thousands of years ago. He wrote in a book that life was so miserable that people would be better off killing themselves, and it was supposedly so convincing that many people followed the advice. The local king wasn't impressed.
Yeah.. at very least he could have driven right up to the front door and handed the car keys to somebody else to deal with the parking problem.
I'm not sure that I'd want to hold out for maximum life span myself, regardless of what terrible physical or mental conditions I found myself in. At some point, suicide would be preferable. Probably a good idea to start thinking about having a method prepared in advance (pills, I suppose).
Waste heat is fine if it's cold and you want to heat the building. It wouldn't be so great if it was already too hot. Sounds like a technology I'd only use for part of the year.
The government now has enough laws and regulations that it can validly suspect practically anybody of being a "nasty criminal" any time it likes. If trial is inconvenient, they can always arrange to have you accidently shot by the arresting SWAT squad.
What does limiting bandwidth have to do with running servers? I could run sshd all day long and have it consume exactly zero bytes of Internet traffic.
If Google want to to limit usage, they should impose a usage limit and perhaps charge according to usage. Arbitrarily restricting particular usage patterns doesn't achieve that.
The patching thing is a bit of a joke. If I had an android phone, I'd want an equivalent to Ubuntu to provide a 3rd-party OS with regular updates. I think 3rd-party Android distributions are out there, do they handle security updates well?
Bitcoins can be defined as money or not, as you prefer. "Real money" can mean anything that people are willing to use as money. Many countries will certainly tax income received in foreign currencies, even if it is not converted back to the "real money" issued by that country.
Especially when you consider that government-issued fiat money is just made up on the spot and has no real backing, anymore than bitcoin does.
Which presents an obvious business model:
* Genetically engineer a novel infectable virus
* Patent it
* Somehow it may escape into the wild, purely by accident of course.
* Sue anybody who is infected for the trillions of unathorised copies.
Years ago this would have been unethical, but by modern standards, I'm sure you'd be fine.
Sadly, patent law would work the other way around. They would be able to send you a bill for all the trillions of unathorised copies of "their" virus that your body is producing.
Customer service, perhaps? What do you do when Google closes your account for no obvious reason, as people have reported? They won't reply to your emails.
I don't have a lot of experience dealing with Yahoo, but a recent email to fix a login problem with a service I haven't used in years, did actually get a useful reply.
Only if you consider Windows 3.1 to be already in its heyday. True, that was when it became popular. But in those days Linux was actually far more advanced than Windows. Windows was still running on DOS, was 16 bit and crashing every 10 minutes, and you had to pay for it. Linux still couldn't win.
Seems like it's images only, accoring to the Register? Also a work becoming public domain in the UK doesn't automatically become public domain anywhere else in the world. It would still be eligible for copyright protection in the USA, for example.
20 mins? On the contrary, my partner and I have lived as much as 40 mins walk from the supermarket and still done weekly shopping trips on foot. Since we are nothing special athletically, I'm sure there are others that walk further.

Perhaps he could open-source his code, so that clone sites could be operated by others in less paranoid countries.
ITAR would perhaps not be an issue as long as he is using only published encryption schemes.
I'd run it in my Android VirtualBox, but my computer isn't equipped with an accelerometer. I expect you'd have the same problem on the VAX.
So presumably they have a patent on ECC on some wacky new hardware device, and you are fine if you are just running it on a general purpose computer?
I did, and it's an amusing article for sure.

What's wrong with being associated with Latvians anyway? I don't believe they are any more evil than the average Europeans.

Nihilism?

"Off". It's an typo.
You may be right. But that just raises the bigger question: are they are using the Australian or International definition of "Southern Ocean"?

Agreed. And if you take a look at the top subscribed channels, it's not all complete crap or copyrighted-by-someone-else material.
To me, working through that list would be a spectacularly bad way of finding videos that are worth watching.
Use cash in stores and leave the card at home. The only place you need to take it is the ATM.
Oddly enough the requirements of that website match the equipment available in my local library exactly. I'm not in the UK however.
Why would the museum use an orphan work if plenty of CC0 or public domain alternatives existed?

For 2 people, I'd guess we have about 15kg of groceries for a week. It's easy to carry 7.5kg in a backpack, or whatever.
