This development is very very^H^H^H^H^H important. I have been reading the material on this stuff and it looks as if it is possible to give people devoid of sight, some sight back.
THE REAL treasure here is knowing the brain can adapt. Think about it, they were deprived of sight, and then their brain was able to REORGANIZE itself to understand totally FOREIGN signals and use them as input.
It demonstrates how our wetware is more adaptable than any hardware.
join the monsters from island X and skill them bad. create japenese programs from the ground up, start Open Source efforts at the ground level, im sure japan has the ##'s to do it.
I would say this is worthy of making the front page, it will give (at its conclusion) a fairly firm idea about how much it costs to defend against an obvious patent.
I would think that yahoo is trying to stop the breakaway company(fissioned company? like in biology? spore?) from utilizing skills developed while at yahoo.
to me, making a games server work, and implimenting a way for people to talk/chat/know when other buddys are on the network is about skills, not patents. it is obvious how to do it, but it may take some time.
When people talk about patents it WOULD actually be best for the world if there were no patents.
Think about this, there would be companies spying on eachother and just FLYING at the speed of thought into progress. EACH idea about a new process would get spread as fast as the spys could preach this new idea. Then MORE people involved in the industry could invent upon this invention even FASTER. --This breaks down in the real world because of resources. It takes time and money to set up a factory. LOTS. Then people needed to recoup their losses for BUILDING the plant and still invent more. This is where patenting comes in, 20 years is an ok time frame for recouping and some profit.
As a previous poster mentioned in software development the ONLY THING NEEDED is time. Well, time and a compiler. And some 1337 skillz. I have no doubt in my mind that if 50 people decided to code full time for 20 years on any project, shit would fly. ALL the shitty projects would go up in smoke, and the best projects would get improved and improved. It's funny how as an INDUSTRY everything slows down.
Before industry there is innovation. (my quote.)
Peace out and relax. Take your stand against patents and have fun.
All of you were busy looking at how graphology is crapola.
Newsflash, it is.
Now onto important issues. We can deduce IMPORTANT things that Mr. Moneybags (B.G.) has on his mind!
Looking at the pic tells me: Debt Cancellation Vaccines Malaria Money Internatio nal Taxes MGA Prep.(prepare?) for aids. MSP-AD up
Now for the part where I get Flamed into non-existence. I have to defend Gates....:(
From the doodle, we can see that gates is using his cash for vaccines. He is working on the how/what/why 's about his vaccines. At the same time i surmise that tha G8 were talking about cancelling the debt of 3rd world nations.
Gates is doing good with his money, I AM GLAD. EVEN if he STOLE it from the consumer he has turned around and given it(some of the money) to people who need it. (to be fair, he only gave like ~1.5 % of his wealth away, but thats ok)
it looks like he is trying to figure out how to get the money the fastest with the least stupid government problems to the people who need it the most.
silly its as if you signed a contract, and then broke it.
the rest of the world doesnt know whats going on. you certainly do have the right to not rent them the soapbox, but if you enter into a contract whereby you agree to rent them teh soapbox for 10 years then you are bound by that contract! surprise!
i would suggest you go look at subsidies that the government gives out to big buisness.
Small start up companies(in this case...small opensource companies) do not have the accountants who are able to jump through all the hoops and loops to ensure that they pay no taxes at years end.
large companies do. I consider these loopholes to be subsidies.
Real subsidies also exist, but I dont have numbers on that.
seriously, if he's in america the only money taxpayers pay is nothing, no medicare in teh states, just like a story on yahoo about some dude with a nail in his head.
he walked around for 6 days without knowing (a construction accident caused a nail to go through the roof of his mouth and not his anything vital)
lucky man, now he has 80,000 to 100 k in hospital bills. He's bankrupt!
thats good, but a simple box trap would still work, or a crate trap.
i read the article, and i saw pics of the 'bot on tv and special features, i didnt remember omnidirectional cameras.
my point still stands. machines can just be captured and then turned around at their own army.
imagine:
USA robo kills pres!
A Robo was the subject of a DDOS by guriella fighters, they blanked the transmission spectrum, and reprogrammed the robot to accept only transmissions on a different (non-USA military-robo freq) they controled it. they brought it into the presidential parade, and teh military observers didnt notice the additional robot, because it wasnt accepting or transmitting on the ID freq. During the presidential speech, the robo aimed and fired at the pres. Dead.
i bet lots of people could do this.
robos are just tools. with no implicit morality.
think about my point, dont draw other arguments in.
They "decided", and by "they" I mean this senator decided that promoting open-source projects was not as good as supporting propriety-source projects.
namely becaust it wasn't "fair"
open format FTFA:
"specifications for data file formats that are based on an underlying open standard, developed by an open community, and affirmed by a standards body; or, de facto format standards controlled by other entities that are fully documented and available for public use under perpetual, royalty-free, and nondiscriminatory terms."
I would say that this is bad, because... less business for open source projects/programmers.
Seriously, unless these bots have 360 degree vision, some sort of self destruct mode you are going to quickly see these bots, and their guns being put into the other sides hands.
Robots have no loyalty, they obey the RC.
How soon till we have robowarrior-takedowns.
EXAMPLE:
Some dude walks up behind this bot and using Cloak, drill, and Tinfoil! covers up the bots recieving antenna and cameras. Takes the 200K POS apart and sells the gun(whats the going rate on the armament of these things, anyone?)
Brainwash complete!
I think people are the best weapon, and the cheapest.
watch out there with the != , the USA has partners around the world, and often getting laws/regulations passed causes its around the world partners to HELP enforce the work. It's ok if you live in Some country that hates the states, but not if you are living in a buddy buddy of the states.
mod parent up
Probably th3 most important point here to recognize.
they pleaded guilty to get a good chance. they cannot now change their plea (i think) . Now we get to see how the judge treats these people, not having a court case sets no precedents, because the people involved didnt fight about thier case.
amazing country you guys live in. what a pos
retards.
look at this.
if (gun_manufacturer.owner==big_defence_contractor) {activate.uber_lobby_group=1;}
p2p has no INDUSTRY TO SUPPORT It.
gunmakers are OFTEN DEFENSE SUBCONTRACTORS.
the issue is a little man vs the big man problem.
p2p subverts an industry, as a result, it will always be a target (wether from illegal disribution of their wares, or legal distribution of an OpenSource competitor, or independants who do not have the marketing reach)
fuck you all for being blind
Remember how Exeem is made by Slotnick, who is employed by an unknown suit....!
Using exeem you really dont know what you are getting, it could be the *AA's or anything, so dont trust it until the sponsoring partner comes out in the open.
ps. exeem is like eMule..... so use eMule/eDonkey

"I think it'll be the same, given the same machine."
Given the same programs too.
Destroy all patents.

your example isnt an example.
read the article
And is this story torrented?
I hope more slashdot features will consider torrenting their entire websites so they dont bomb.
i dont like you.
i would suggest you go look at subsidies that the government gives out to big buisness.
Small start up companies(in this case...small opensource companies) do not have the accountants who are able to jump through all the hoops and loops to ensure that they pay no taxes at years end.
large companies do. I consider these loopholes to be subsidies.

"[blah and the ]police forces manipulate this very sensitive issue in order to further stifle our freedoms of speech"
im very sure that website has lots of good things to say that are balanced and mindful of POV.
[/sarcasm]
from your comment alone i can tell what the site is about.
in america tax drugs you!
seriously, if he's in america the only money taxpayers pay is nothing, no medicare in teh states, just like a story on yahoo about some dude with a nail in his head.
he walked around for 6 days without knowing (a construction accident caused a nail to go through the roof of his mouth and not his anything vital)
lucky man, now he has 80,000 to 100 k in hospital bills. He's bankrupt!
truth. i wonder if he was bought out.

Has cydoor apps - a spyware company.
Relies on ad revenues, is NOT open-source, uses a non-bittorrent-compatible file format, runs in Linux on an emulator..... two words, -> NOT GOOD.
watch out there with the != , the USA has partners around the world, and often getting laws/regulations passed causes its around the world partners to HELP enforce the work. It's ok if you live in Some country that hates the states, but not if you are living in a buddy buddy of the states.
i would not count on this, should the justice decide to make a case and cause something they could be put away for quite some time.
