I knew about the metre, I knew about the rod. I just think it's stupid to try and make a silicon sphere, when you can just say (as you stated in your reply) that 1 kilogram is X silicium atoms. BTW, if scientists don't like definitions based on objects then I'll guess it does make quite a lot sense to define a kilogram with a silicon sphere...
... no sphere made of atoms will ever be a perfect one. Second, if that rusty lump in Paris defines what a kilogram is, in no way is this sphere gonna change that.
Well, with all our free market and globalization and capitalism, I think it's way more efficient to get rid of all of the middlemen. If we take Lawmakers and Judges from the "Companies -> Lawmakers -> Judges -> Police" chain, well, it's kinda the same but faster...
Neither of using TorrentSpy or Bittorrent nor downloading copyrighted material for private use is illegal in Spain. Sharing it is also legal. If it's not for public viewing and there's no profitting involved, the law (still) says it's alright.
Over Stallman's grave, I think. It just doesn't seem reasonable to me for Novell, Xandros et al to continue supporting an alternative fork of the whole GNU system from its last GPLv2 release. At all.
You got a point there, but think that killing, say, 1000 civilians (bombing a mall, p.e.) causes more terror among the population than killing 150 army soldiers in Base X.
Imagine for a moment that this guy has invented something new. Imagine, as the last line of the summary suggests, that "If they know that they could fix the problems later on, they could beat the competition to market."
Sounds like the hardware version of Windows. Every user would be a beta tester. Your phone calls your friends in the middle of the night and makes strange noises? It's ok, we'll fix it soon. Meanwhile remember we were the first to offer scheduled calls for cell phones!

The same way I measure how many 1/299,792,458's of a second takes light to get from home to where I work...

A *joke* is something which you don't seem to understand.
Do a google search before you post next time so you don't look so ignorant.
I though, admit the joke was bad enough to hardly qualify as such.
How does painfully wrong information get modded up like this?
Won't somebody think of the clueless??

Ok, one more time, from the top:
In some countries sharing copyrighted material is illegal.
And I sure don't feel as a thief when I'm borrowing a friend's CD.
Yeah... except we're talking about updatedb running constantly on the background, instead of grep.

Yeah, I sooo prefer 'nano'...

Will Slingbox the new Betamax and CEA the new Sony? Have we learnt nothing from the past? (Second one is rhetorical, of course...)
I only have a couple words...
!developers, !developers, !developers...

There ya go. No need to thank me.

int decrypt (char *supposedkey) {
return (strlen(supposedkey)==16);
}
Mmmm... any 128 bit alphanumeric key can decrypt this... others won't work... for better fun, add a 0-9,a-f checker... can't be bothered now...
Whoever moderated this "funny" sure didn't get the parent's proven insightfulness...
At least we can still bash 'em here in Slf$#!@^*NO CARRIER
