Why not just set up an organization to slowly release advancements made for military uses while giving time for the industry to adapt? Just seems simpler and more cost effective.
Finding a non-human intelligence to converse with on our own planet....priceless. I cant think of anything more important that we could do with dolphins then learn to communicate with them. Chimps to. We have a whole planet to screw up. Surely we can spare a couple of species for conversation......
Why do you think it's Netflix? Maybe it's you ISP?
This problem started for me when Comcast took over my local ISP. At the same time as the switch over there was a rush of people who brought in their computer for repair or upgrade because their internet connection was acting funny. When i finally complained enough they sent out a technition who told me they had installed allot of new software.
Is/. trolling?
This would allow a clever terrorist to find any number of targets very quickly. And if they were silly enough to do something like add unique identifiers to what they blur based on value(like an increased bluryness or size of blur) it would be even more helpful in mapping out high value targets and maximum damage scenarios. But this is a politician so by default his motive feels suspect.
I knew the American consumer was being screwed when I got a 5 year old model cellphone at 4 times the price plus an exorbident 2 year contract after coming back from Japan. It's a scam and one that is hurting us as a nation.
I am reminded of the story about the goose that laid the golden egg. Setting any kind of state wide per bit tax would drive companies away that use the internet to deliver a product witch the states already tax unless all of the states got together and did this at once. In which case the heart of the internet would be driven further from U.S.
It would be terrible to loose all these papers that reprint Associated Press stories and push the agenda of the rulers on their readership. death to any system that relies on controlling the distribution system rather then offering a better product.
No. The independent artists will no longer be a threat because they wont be able to pay the large content delivery guys(Comcast, AT&T, etc....) for a fast enough upload speed to make their sites commercially viable. This is turning into TV all over again.
"But there's an obvious problem: nothing is simpler than a sweep of blue sky, or the inky blackness of space. If simplicity is the benchmark, space itself is evidence of design."
What? I don't understand how something not being simple enough for our limited intelligence to understand constitutes divine creation?
I dont know if it is censored by Google or by those taking the images. But the pictures of Urbana Illinois have never been updated. Do a search see and for yourself. Why? Probably because the University of Illinois has a significant percentage of DARPA research money. Or not.
Seriously. Look for yourself. Notice the neighboring town of Champaign does have updated imagery.
Errr ya, they might wonder why she is using a personal email account for government communications. And dont take a strong reaction of our government as a sign that someone has done something wrong.
One problem that facilitates animosity between the business side and the tech support side is that if you do everything right and are a little lucky nothing will happen to the network.
I cant tell you how frustrating it is to see an IT admin who dosnt do their job get praised for fixing something that never should have happened and is ultimately their fault.
I understand the plan but I've been party to shutting down popular projects(on the bad side) in the corporate world and a brief "delay" in a project paired with already signifigant budget cuts is not a good sign for it being taken back up in a few years. I've also seen companies take the aproach of planning and building a replacement before a product expires even to the degree of pure profiteering(Vista and Microsoft come to mind).
Dont get me wrong. On the off chance there is a God(with a capital G) I pray desperatly for our space program(ours because it seems to be the one I can most closly affect). I talk about it constantly. Sometimes.....i cry when I read about what has happened to the space program. So I hope with all my being that you are right.
I like to think of myself as a realistic person so my solution to generating public interest and investment....porn...put porn in space. It worked for the interwebs.
I'm for anything that is a peaceful endeavor between nations....but we are about to loose the ability to put people in space.
What amazing baby steps we have taken, how far have we fallen.

In the face of money spent on financial disasters and wars your comment seems a bit less then "well-justified".

Hulu will now get payed from both advertisers and you.

Just an excuse to drop support for XP since it will now be two generations old. This remind anyone of ME?

How does this seem to have a positive spin? Now the fates of individual users will be decided between corporations.

Ah, I understand now.
This guy is trolling. Open Source does not mean free. His article only suggests he is not familiar with the sites who's doom he is predicting.
Of course you would be foolish to actually click on that link. so just go to the Qantas page and follow the "Contacts" link at the bottom of the page.
The point that everyone keeps bringing up is that while a consumer electronics device may have done this and if it had Qantas is looking at a more serious problem of properly shielding their critical control lines. Here is a link to the Qantas feed back page. http://qantas.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/qantas.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php?p_sid=I9yrAVfj&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=

I've seen this business model somewhere before....oh ya! This is what the call cable television in some countries.
I like how cutting into profit margin equals hurting the industry.

I agree on all points.
