I wonder if the filtering technology can identify partial clips of a copyrighted work and flag those as well. This is a good point, and another can of worms. What if I make something that includes a short, fair-use-protected clip of someone else's content? Will those perfectly legal frames get me automatically zapped as an infringer?
Putting aside the fact that OCR and related AI is still just this side of "not very good," for an AI to sucessfully and exclusively redact certain material, someone still has to at some point define the dataset of what is redactable, and feed that data into the machine. Unless, of course, this AI is simply allowed to crawl the networks and glean for itself what's good and bad for us...
Rather than the Next-Next-Generation or the Previous-Previous-Generation, they should have gone back to ToS to begin with. The actors would be different, but the characters familiar. The writers, like the rest of us, would have known them for forty years. *cough*
..then I've got to go to more antiwar rallies. I can't be the only fool who would love to catch one of these babies and take it home to play with... anyone selling butterfly nets with Faraday cages installed?
Acts which are impossible are not enforceable, but that comes back on the Offeree for fraudulently assenting to a performance he knew he could not complete. If you agree to do something you know you won't, you're in a lot more trouble than the other party for requesting or requiring it. And that's my whole point. Can it be argued that Apple must have known full well that they wouldn't be able to keep the iPhone locked down? They're certainly no neophytes to the hardware business, nor are they new to the concept of controlling a widespread platform. Would Apple really have a leg to stand on now if AT&T decided to call them out on their inability to alter the realities of the popular digital appliance market?
And based on what existed in 1998, I chose what was the best for my needs. And while cool kids drove to Florida and saw boobs, I stayed up all night and rewrote almost all of the site from scratch. Considering Slashdot's role in your later marriage, one could conceivably say you took the long, roundabout route...
What 'hint'? They are under legal obligation to maintain their firmware so that the phones can't be used on other networks for another 5 years. I could sign a specially-worded contract putting me under legal obligation to learn how to breathe margarine and turn the moon into a Buick, but it doesn't mean I'll be able to in practice.
I have to wonder, though: given the "worldwide" attitude of the web, do we really need to make geographic distinctions at the TLD? Apart from looking up the whois for every site you hit, it's the first indicator of the physical location of a person or persons you may be interested in contacting. That could be important information if you're looking to do business, look for dates, or.. er... whatever it is people do over the web that isn't buying, selling, or flirting.
Having more top level domains means more chances that when you look at something, having its domain name can actually tell you something. Yes, it can tell you "I'm paying someone for this domain because shady text-ransoming brokers and spammers have bought up every damn last text combination in my country's assigned.com/.co,.net, and.org TLDs."
Then un-check the box in your preferences which make his stories show up on your front page. Stop whining about things you can easily fix for yourself.
For those unfamiliar with Rockstar, they're the company that make those GTA games featuring mass quantities of pop-culture parody in the background of just about every scene.

...that the amount of social networking elephants has tripled in the past six months?
Like anything in the world ever, it's only "worth" what someone somewhere is willing to trade for it.
..and I promise to pay extra, will you keep the N-gage?

The face on Mars and the desk on Mars are close enough together to suggest a civilization sufficiently advanced to have discovered the "headdesk."
The domain name is part of the URL. Therefore, multilingual domains will result in multilingual URLs.
Meh, they can all go example themselves.

In other news, results of the study of wetness by the Institute for Applied Water are said to be forthcoming.
Surely the prize for Magneto resistance should go to Professor Charles Xavier?

I say we get up there and tear the damn thing's tail off. It's the only way to really deal with a comet.
Can it wait just a little bit longer? I swear I'm just about to get mod points.

Okay, that post officially made my morning.
