I do hope that he gets to enjoy an adequate amount of time with his family and friends. His books have given me much enjoyment over the past 20 years. I thank him for that.
What I don't get is why the USA is so uptight about "gambling"? If they were really serious about getting rid of big-time gambling operations, they really should ban the stock market and insurance.
Given that there are pedestrians (not in a vehicle) killed crossing streets by an automobile, seemingly every day, it isn't working. By that logic, they should ban pedestrians from walking within 20ft of any road.
Some things are dangerous and should be left dangerous. Just educate that they carry risk and responsibility.
I think that if I was a photographer, I would be OK with Google caching full quality images as long as they put their own annoying watermark all over it with the URL where the image came from clearly visible.
Actually, the story I've heard from fairly authoritative sources is that what Google wanted was the text "Google" on the Maps display so that people knew that the data was coming from Google.
Apple did not like that and it was a deal breaker for them.
XP Pro has more functionality than Windows 7. To get equivalent function for which I currently use, I would have to purchase Windows 7 Ultimate. The price tag for it is more than the cost of the machines that it would be running on.
It is simply too expensive for little-to-no gain in functionality.
Some parts make sense: At infinite velocity, a particle would necessarily pass through every point in the universe. The particle must have zero mass otherwise the entire universe would collapse into a singularity exceedingly quickly as the mass of the universe becomes effectively infinite.
Actually, what they are implying is that people who drink 2L of soda from cans daily will be in a worse state than those who drink 2L of the same soda daily from plastic BPA-free bottles.
Some individuals would probably be just fine drinking 2L of sugar soda from plastic bottles if they're active enough to burn off the extra calories.
The manufacturer should pay S&H to receive such sealed units for recycling and it should be as simple as submitting a request on their website for a prepaid addressed bag/envelope/box to be sent to the customer.
I do hope they can keep improving. Demand for skilled workers, especially in the USA, is still outstripping supply and this is a good first step in helping to rectify the situation. (Yeah, I know that this report is from the UK and I wrote "especially in USA" but US companies can, will and already do import talent from outside of the USA.)
With these patents, does that mean that they own certain types of cancer?
If so, then they should take responsibility of their property and stop being irresponsible and infecting people with their property.
As remedy, I suggest that they fully pay for the treatment to remove their property from their victims and for the stress caused by their carelessness.
The sad thing in this whole saga is that we can actually source a large amount of our demand for natural gas from our own waste using technology which has been known for centuries. Instead, we simply choose to landfill our waste. What a waste.
We actually have the technology today to source almost all our needs for natural gas in environmentally sound ways. That there are crazy subsidies on continuing the status quo means that the environment loses.
The best thing that any government can do for the environment is to eliminate all subsidies.

In other news, a report reports that automobiles produce too much energy and poses risks, including death, for the careless.
Looking at the data presented in the pdf, it seems to me that gzip does a fantastic job for the amount of time it takes to do it.

This article seems to be worded to make Xerox look good and HP look bad.
The question that people must be itching to ask the Japanese Researchers: How does it taste?
Good show, old chaps, but change the name. Sooner or later, a Skylon will turn on you.
No worries. The UK Ministry of Defense communication satellites are already called "SkyNet".
Funnily enough, I only found out that passwords were case insensitive in 2010.

Just a random thought.
And the bad hackers? They submit these to competitors like Google who then "leak" the news about competitors flaw.
I'm pretty sure that Google discretely notifies Microsoft of flaws that it is aware of.

I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill and think things over.
Really? How is this news?

Look under 3M thermal pads... Up to nearly 5 W/mK
3M has had a thermal sheet which has outperformed paste for more than 10 years already.
How is this news?
I though disinformation is SOP with Governments... Or maybe it is just a British govt trait.
