Nobody in a position of authority at Cirrus is likely to have written that post. It is full of spelling and grammar errors. My guess is some low-level developer figured it was job security to try to get rid of the outside developer. Also, why don't links work on that page?
Also you can read, work on your laptop, etc. while riding on a train or bus. Subways you are pretty much limited to avoiding eye contact and wishing that the person next to you didn't eat quite so much garlic.
Sorry, your post made me realize that a sophisticated processor is unnecessary. It's already difficult to tell whether a message is from a human or just a randomly generated string of nonsense.
Realtime, photorealistic animation and speech processing? Too bad AI software still sucks or this could pass a Turing test where you look at someone on a screen and don't know whether they are real or not.
The effect on global warming of burning forests is greater than from burning fossil fuels. So let's stop burning forests in South America and Indonesia. The best way would be to cancel the economic incentives which promote burning -- which is mostly using the cleared land for other cash crops or for grazing. Another way would be to clear the land, but not burn the biomass. Use it for making paper, wooden items, buildings, etc.
But not deficits. $100B in 1981 shot up to $250B by 1984. Seems like GWB is following in his footsteps. It's pretty easy to keep taxes low when you are sticking someone else with the bill.
I once did the opposite. For an AI assignment at C-MU, I coded in FORTRAN instead of lisp. It ran fast as hell, but I still got a C for use of a "gutter" language.
I concede the point that proprietary kernel modules don't prevent distribution. I found some of Linus' writing to the effect that a driver ported from another OS is OK to include as a module because it is not a derived work and the module interface should be treated like LGPL. So you're right, nVidia and ATI drivers are probably in the clear.
At issue would be closed source drivers written specifically for Linux that made use of kernel internals. Linus explicitly mentions those as being "derived works" and not distributable under the GPL.
If that were true, then I could distribute GPL libraries (not LGPL, which is allowed) with proprietary software. Nope. Sorry. Can't. However, I'm free to use them for any purpose on my own computer.
What violates the GPL is distributing a kernel that has non-open pieces. Doesn't matter whether they are built-in, a module, or in a secret decoder ring. For this reason, nobody distibutes a kernel with NVidia's driver. You can download and use the closed-source driver in your Linux kernel. You cannot distribute the kernel that you build after it is tainted with the NVidia driver.
Do you feel like your privacy has been violated if someone that already had your e-mail address sells/trades/gives it to someone else? -- yes
what count as deliberately misusing it? -- any use other than the purpose for which I gave it to you
Go after people spamming and not someone giving out an e-mail address. -- the people giving out the email address are just as guilty as the people sending spam
Not really. Decay time due to drag for LEO is fairly short. Debris in orbits below 300 km (where ISS lives) falls in less than 30 days. Debris up by the Hubble can stay up for years, but will fall eventually. Here is a chart of orbital decay vs. altitude.
How many different websites do you visit? How many use sitekey? How would you notice if one out of BIGNUMBER stopped using sitekey?
The problem is that it isn't universal, so you don't notice when it isn't there. Don't blame the users for a fundamental flaw of the system. It is attempting to add security by depending on the memory of people to notice the absense of a minor detail.
California hate crime law from the DA's office.... threatening to use force to injure, intimidate, or interfere with another person who is exercising his or her constitutional rights.
I've seen positions with the title "researcher" advertised at universities. Obviously, a PhD gives your resume more loft, but it may not be a requirement.

You want my SSN? It's 078-05-1120. Of course, it's already in your database about 10,000 times.

"it sounds to me like you're completely ignorant of the ES&S systems"
It sounds to me like you're completely ignorant that I was replying to another post and was defending voting machines. Are you astroturfing?
The figure of $100000 was correct. It's in binary.
Obviously, you write the output of a quantum computer to a quantum tape drive

Yes. But someone has finally figured out how to use it.
