...and if for some reason we want to launch more shuttles, we just have to piss off an alien race enough to invade. After all their ships have been cleaned up by debris, we will have a clear sky again.
...you just try and organise a "please don't axe our favorite show" protest before it has been axed. It just wont happen.
Too bad as it would probably work better.
Executive types hate reversing decisions, somehow thinking it implies they don't know what they are doing, but deciding not to can a series...thats just another choice that can be made without loosing face.
He says Rather, generics must be shared. Ownership rights can accrue to them only in specific contexts that are not generic. Because the word "Apple" has no generic meaning when it comes to computers, we allow a company to get rights in that name when applied to computers. A different company has those rights when it applies to records.
But with domain names it is impossible to say "take me to www.apple.com for records" so we either allow someone to use a generic name or no-one...which would have caused legal problems with what is defined as generic.
Besides which at the time i would say it was looked on as a technical issue and not a decision with far reaching economical and political effects.
Branding the toplevel would be nice but i know if i am well established at an address (generic or otherwise) I am not going to be happy to restart just so we can level the playing field. Kind of like poor people asking rich people to go socialist for a while untill we all have the same amount of money and then we'll give that capitalism thing another go, nice idea, not going to happen.
All in all i think thats all this is... a nice, but flawed idea
Again...why? What i like the most about our little "community" is that we tend to be intelligent...so lets ask the question...why do we want this? There are lots of problems at home to fix first that should get votes first.
Are you saying google has a big arse? OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! You're in trouble now. No man has ever survived that minefield. You wil just have to search the web somewhere else if you are going to make comments like that.
If only it were that simple...The whole left hand not knowing what the right is doing scenario (usually prevelant in large corporations) does limit constructive work (i.e. security) but does not in any way limit wholesale destruction. That is, it is easy to be a chaotic corporation and destroy your enemies.:)
So the obvious question is how are we going to fix it? I mean both a technical solution and a way of implementing a new standard world wide. Any ideas? Would it be possible to have some sort of backwards compatibility to ease in a transfer?
It adds another point of failure (`Fuck! My clothes have crashed!') requires maintenance, and replenishable energy of some sort ('Everyone, remember to recharge your helmets before the battle'.)
Just imagine the results of these failures. Imagine these become commonplace, the only way to combat these advantages would be with an EMP bomb (I dont know their name or their feasability, anyone care to fill this in) then command would assume the loss of a batalion, who would then be simply "guys with guns who arent on our side" Friendly fire skyrockets. maybe far fetched but people come to rely on technology and when it fails in war shoot first so you can be around later to ask questions comes into play.
That is true about the one song thing but if it catches on it may be the death of the album, which i think will be a loss:- Think the white album, I love some of the lesser know ones on that more than the 'commercial' ones, which i would never know but for the album:)
you know what made it even better. The seam that ran over them- I kept thinking, is it? isn't it? it is. no its not, yes it is...well you get the idea i think the subtelty is much better.:)

I wonder if there will ever be enough bounty's on offer to make a career out of it.
I can just see all the coder bounty hunters with their boba fett helmets on.
All our power problems would be solved with 200 teenage boys.
I leave it there because it gets me lots of replies and makes me feel important
I think his comment is a little off base.

Why do we need mars?

And it only took ten years
You can have a competition with any progeny to see who can do it again. A kind of inter-generational "bring the family together thing"
(im giving you the benefit of the doubt on the progeny thing)
Why do I get the feeling that you will get a lot more search results for Linda Lovelace when searching the "Deep Web"

If wwIII starts i sure hope i am on mars too
anyone else read Kim Stanley Robinson's Red/Green/Blue Mars
Safest place to be
Wouldn't it be better if they didn't work together. ;)
A bit of good old competition, maybe a race to mars?
Liven things up a bit
Isn't that phoenetically correct if your Irish though...
Slashdot, news for homer,stuff that's battered..
Makes me feel better when my team is getting creamed though...
I came across this the other day and thought it was really funny, make sure you read it in order though.
My sincerest appologies to him if this is true
I am pretty sure Boba is Jango's kid (otherwise why would he be there). 10 to 1 says Boba kills Mace Windu though
OR maybe something along the lines of Bruce Willis's character is really dead and only the kid can see him
or perhaps Tim robins was digging a tunnel all along an Red knew nothing about it
or my personal favourite Brad Pitt and Edward Norton are the same guy
YES THANK YOU GEORGE
you know what made it even better.
