Consensual BDSM is not illegal. Adults can do what they please to each other. What changed was the certification of sexual acts on film for the R18 certificate, meaning they can be sold in sex shops. It's not even illegal to film and distribute these internationally. But if you want to sell legally in the UK certain acts will not be permitted.
The car analogy would work if MS were forced to release the source code once their support ends. That's how an old car would be dealt with - parts from the manufacturer until they stop making them, meaning a third party can step in and make the parts if there is a demand for them. the 'open' nature of a car allows this to happen. An open-source OS also permits this. A closed-source OS is different.
I guess the point is that if these organisms can survive the trip to Mars then we will never be certain if a discovered species on Mars came from us or developed independently. Genetic analysis could help but there still might be uncertainty. Now we know there is a non-zero chance of survival maybe we should stop worrying about contamination and get on with some terra-forming, so that the planet might be more hospitable by the time we are able to send people there.
If we're 3 ft deep in snow then I think I'd prefer to take control myself, thank you. Indeed it applies to any situation where the environment is not what the computer might be expecting.
I like the approach here though, the human has to teach the computer once but then the computer can contribute as & when needed. I can take control quickly if I need to.
Definitely the most important feature of the story and worth some discussion. The other side of the story, the whole lock someone up for an indeterminate amount of time with no idea of whether the broke a law or not part is just utterly played out.
The MFP in the office has booklet mode, which shrinks A4 sheets to 4 to a side, prints them in the right order, folds it and adds 2 staples. I'm in as long as I can keep this feature which is perfect for manuals, long dull reports and even source you want to study on the toilet. It's the mindless printing of email, finance batch import summaries for 'auditing purposes' and non-duplex wastage that needs to be addressed.
On first parse 'their' looked like a mistaken 'they're' and the subject of the second part remains a mystery. Who are 'they' who are going too far? The eagles?
Remember kids, whilst first post will earn you great kudos for about ten minutes, you need to be certain it's a valid sentence.
Where are all the aliens? They're just like us - stuck in their gravity wells trying to find economic ways to travel vast distances quickly, as well as trying to replicate their planet's environment on a spaceship.
We already know that life needs volatile chemicals to exist - otherwise space would be teeming with life.
Replace "broadband" with "telephony", move the year back around 50 units, does your view still seem reasonable? This is progress, and progress should be possible by all.

In other words, it's a combination of the police, the justice system and elected representatives. Just like every other act that causes enough distress amongst others to be considered a "crime".

It's a three way fucking. The only ones not fucking are the blokes, who ironically paid to fuck in the first place.

I don't know, apostrophes can be used to indicate missing letters and it helps to highlight that regexp isn't really a word (yet).
The report was from PCPro.
Always wondered what Google's motives were for their huge investment in Street View...
Note that much of the Street View data already includes a 3D aspect and they have a very basic idea of the location of building surfaces.

The Orange brand is gone in the UK. My phone was Orange but now tells me i am on network EE. Most if not all the high st shops havebeen rebranded too.

Moderating as +0 a bit kooky.
You're wandering around shouting "i am this address, do you have service" so you can't be surprised if some recipients note that down.
Since when did correcting a wrong assertion become pedantry?

Could you make a custom Google search query and append the sites to that query string? (I'm assuming Firefox)

The skycrane was the very essence of "ground-breaking". A bigger one could set down safely the equipment we'd need to perhaps sustain life for a bit.

Since when has it been a human right to be offensive?
Shouldn't have retired the Space Shuttle then, should you?

Having bad teeth matters not a jot when you're too fat to fit in your spacesuit. See, i can stereotype too!
Thanks for pointing out what he was clearly implying.
Looking for wobble rather than dimming of light due to transits or direct imaging would imply that there's nothing there at all.
