And people are complaining student getting their information from wikipedia. I'll take a wikipedia physics article over a movie "demonstration" any day of the week.
For the court which you point out have 100% reversal rating, getting one out of one overturned is not statistically significant. The 9th hears a lot more case than the rest...
FTFA: "There's one wavelength that gets everybody," says IOS President Bob Lieberman. "Vlad [IOS top scientist Vladimir Rubtsov] calls it 'the evil color.'"...must...have...that...precious...precious...colo r!

Not as strange as you might think, remember there are still those who perceive free software as commie and anti-market and people who do free software nothing more than academic leftist...
When software maker points out piracy here, we expect people to go to jail and some actually do. That's why you are willing to shell out the dough.
My friends in China do not expect to pay for software and I have been to one of their software shop with "custom" printed CD with software and often, keygen/serial also inside. In a country whose standard of living is no-where near the US, you can't expect anyone to pay the same US money for something that's easily replicable.
And since they don't expect to pay for anything, choosing Windows/Linux is just a choice of what's easiest to use. Since Windows has large user base and software availability (which are also "free"), that's what they choose. The conclusion is that besides few rich personal/business user, you just can't make money selling software to the mass in China as long as people don't expect to pay for it and government not willing to enforce any law/trade agreement (except for few show cases to satisfy the west). While the post-development cost for software is next to nothing, the cost of making the software is passed on to us, citizens of country that actually respect copyright. And since I respect the copyright of other's work, I use Linux and FOSS.
While I applaud this free-market approach to vulnerability and that careless software engineering should cost company money, I have to ask the question. How do bidder verified that a bug is indeed found as claim? I mean, what's stop someone from claiming bug X exist, ask for a bid, and leave the bidder in cold? I suppose the same problem with ebay but in ebay, at least there is a picture (not necessarily of the item itself of course). What's there to stop cyber racketeering and blackmailing??
The law should mandate health insurance like it does car insurance. It's not necessarily for the protection of the driver but for other drivers on the road. I absolute don't buy the argument that people should be free to make choices, including NOT buying health insurance. Just like you are not free to drive uninsured, we should not be free to go about without health insurance because when we don't go see the doctor, who knows what potentially contagious disease we are carrying? How can we fight SARS and bird flu when many won't go to doctors simply because they can't afford it?
I think it's a wise way to spend my taxes to help other people in need even when a small portion of them are "free-loader" of the society. At least people can go to the doctor when they begin to feel sick. The alternative is that they won't go to the doctor until it's too late and cost even MORE of my taxes or spread some uncontrollable disease in my community. Then there is the collective bargaining power of the government to hospital and drug companies which will also drive down the cost of medical service.
The end does justify the mean sometimes. Remember those patriots from the Boston Tea Party?? They were doing a completely illegal thing (by England standard) and are basically trying invoke violent. (Imagine someone from/. destroy Microsoft's data to protect the "MS tax"...half joking...) I'd like to believe just cause deserve just means, but sometimes the world doesn't work that way. Talking some sense in to King George ain't gonna do it. Blood had to be shred and I, for one, am grateful for that and for all the life sacrificed for America.
Michael Moore is by no mean objective, but he's a patriot. He's a patriot in the sense that he loves the American people but not necessarily the mega corporation. Yes, _Sicko_ cherry picks facts, but it's a nicely put together as a provocative piece. Compare to F911, which I think is a piece of crap, I feel as if MM has eaten a piece of humble pie. The 911 worker going to Cuba thing might be over the top, considering that Cuba ranked 39 in the same list that ranked USA 37 (not something to be proud of). However, I think most viewer recognize that it's a satirical stun and hey, if this country won't treat its hero, we ought to find some way to do it, right?.
In Sicko, instead of yelling fuck the insurance industry as he did to NRA and Bush, he's calmly saying, look, there are other countries that do things differently, and they are looking pretty good. I think his health care proposal too naive, but I came out the theater feeling that we should at least not let profit-making insurance industry dominate the debate. When it comes to life-altering (note: not necessarily threatening, such as losing a finger...) situation, I don't think we should let for-profit corporation controls everything.
Anyway, for google to control information for the benefit of corporate friends is just down right EVIL
From TFA: "Liz Warren, a researcher at the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, managed to convince 15 men to spend 21 straight days in bed..."
Nothing to do with the/. summary, which has only narrowly focused only on one of ten jobs...
I'll be a damn proud taxes payer when instead of spending so much on war and weapon, we'll have:
1) publicly financed and spend-capped election 1.5) free equal TV air time for all legitimate candidate: at LEAST those who also get secret service protection. 2) make election a holiday, heck, we should even spend tax $$ to get people to the polls.
This must be what Microsoft was promising when they talked about interpolation? Look how far they have come! And yet we still love bashing it here in/. .
Is it just the choice of default font? I could imagine safari, in order to keep its mac look, installed some darker fonts. It's the first thing i do after a fresh FF installation. Am I the only one who don't like Arial?
Man:...but I LOVE YOU!
Computer: That's so adorable, but you are just not good enough for ME!
Man: Oh, no, you don't dump me! I dump you! Better, I sue you!
I love this aspect of American. We turn a blind eye to government policies that obviously favors the wealthy and the corporation at the expense of everyone else. Why? Because one of these day now, we might become rich and famous. It is the American dream that we are protecting...Same with patent. The current law might be flawed, but it favors patent holder. Maybe one of these days, I'll also hold a patent that's obvious but somehow worth millions!
TFA doesn't even render right with NoScript enabled. This is excusable, I use javascript to position HTML things all the time, but what is UP with the long list of OTHER sites that's being block. Why the heck would I want to enable any more sites for sole ability to display ads?
Remember when we cried fault when an OS/Dekstop maker (name rhymes with micro-golf) decided that since it is doing so well in desktop environment, it'd go into the browser and media player segment? Is this not the same situation in reverse (besides the non-free and monopoly part, of course).
My point is this: do one thing, do it well.
I don't know if the guys did it or not. I care about it only because I have one computer in reiserfs3. Anyway I look at this, this is a violent criminal charge. Can anyone tell me how the heck does this concern "my right online" now?

Here's a curious question: if they add like a 2 minutes comment on top of the 20 second, does that constitute fair use?
Chinese is just an example of non-Latin language. Even within Latin language, there are special accented character you can't use for URL...

Have you guys notice?
It comes with linux by default, yet its keyboard has the regular "windows flag" key...Wouldn't it make more sense to print a penguin on it instead?
Just my 50-cents (thickness of the device)
And I agree. Someone should sue their ass too.

Like many laws of physics (such as DECREASE of entropy), free lunch always applies locally. Globally, someone still has to foot the bill.
