If the submitter read the article, they would know that it is not the Government of India, but the Commercial Tax dept. from the State of Karnataka.
It would be interesting to know though if traditional ISPs in Karnataka are subject to taxes that apply to the sale of electricity for example and whether fiber based ISPs are excempt from those taxes.
but the students have a strong point on the IP there.
I don't know, if I recollect correctly, my CS program retained the right to use any code etc. produced as part of a class project for academic purposes. Would this count as an academic purpose if the school legally permits this company to retain papers in its databse?
Schools typically also retain final-exam answersheets (we never get them back do we?) for a couple of years. I don't know whether they could use them or if they already do though.
It will be interesting to see how this thing turns out.
...and strands may well end up getting broken, making it much harder to sequence correctly...
you don't know how DNA is sequenced in large genome projects do you? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_sequencing
It's not that they are asking google to filter search results returned by the term "crack" or "keygen" in association with ServersCheck. They are just asking google to not suggest in their toolbar that there are X number of results for the search combination "ServersCheck crack" when a user starts typing ServersCheck..
You can definitely search for whatever crazy thing you can think of:) (as long as you are not in China I guess).
Check out the Komodo dragon. Their saliva is so infectious that just a bite kills the prey. It could have been the source of fire-breathing dragon mythology.
...Or, put another way, there could be some intelligent programmer "outside" of our universe who created the computing machine that is our universe. Personally, I'm not compelled by such an argument,...
Dont you know ?! The Earth is a supercomputer built by a bunch of mice ? to know the ultimate question for the answer 42...
I dont agree with you there. Although it seems as if the odd-one-out tasks are childs play, they are not. Some of them, especially the triangles (equilateral v/s isosceles) and the X's (perpendicular v/s otherwise) need the ability to think in terms of angles. And the last one requires you to see if the figures are clockwise or counter-clockwise. Its definitely not simple patterns recognition, all 6 images in each set are very similar in terms of "pattern".
And what you probably read was only the article was on MSNBC for the average reader. It was published in Science, so maybe you should go and read the full article before calling it pseudo-science.
Don't be so sure. The patent rights for a gene sequence go to whoever first discovers it. You can have a plant growing in your garden for years and then be sued because it contains a patented gene sequence. Ludicrous? Yes.
You can not patent the "sequence" of a gene. The whole genome sequence is freely available to the public.
In simple terms what you could patent is the discovery that "this piece of sequence does that" or how it functions in nature and how can it be utilized.
That way, there would be none of this bullshit confusion about 'what time is that here', or 'what is the time there'. It's GMT. The same damned time everywhere.
But we would still have confusion about something like 'what time does the person we are calling wake up there'... not much difference. This problem will never go away.

.. someone else will... or china can make them for themselves much cheaper (I am surprised why they don't do that in the first place)

whatever happened to coral cache ?
refresh your history.. France has always been the country to stick up for rights.

That could be the cover to the "Google's Guide to the Galaxy" ;-)
Hey I know ! I know !... Isn't it JELLO ??
