Just like last time, the market moves over the last few days strongly suggest that the FBI is already selling, or has already sold these bitcoins into the market.
All I have to do is read one paper like this to be reminded why I stayed out of academia. Ah the smugness, the hypocrisy, the great irony. A "radical novelty" this essay is not.
There are plenty of truths out there yet to be discovered. Unfortunately most academics lack the self-confidence to go looking for them and instead find clever new ways to twist ideas around.
Soon the Chinese government will learn from modern democratic governments and sophisticated corporations that trying to control the flow of information is the wrong way to go about it.
It's far easier and more effective to control the public's interpretation and prioritization of information than to limit the information itself.
And the simulated People that evolve inside this simulated universe... How shall we communicate with them?
Maybe we can identify their primary (simulated) food production areas and tweak the simulation to create meaningful geometric patterns when they aren't looking. Circles, conjoined lines, etc.
Could someone explain why these clouds are postulated to be not only dark, but made out of an exotic new particle? Why can't they be clouds of hydrogen? You know... something normal. I can guess, but maybe a physicist would care to respond?
What you're describing is an agnostic. An atheist is someone who believes there is no God. We're talking about semantics here, but I would ask, if the latter is not an atheist, then what is he?
Tell the first person you speak to that you are cancelling your service immediately, and that you have informed your credit card company to refuse all future charges. It's up to them whether they want to update their systems with the cancellation now, or spend 3 months trying to contact you in hopes that it was some kind of mistake, while you continue to use the service.
I am a development manager, and I look to Notes/Domino only for what I have to, and that doesn't include anything to do with any of the buzzwords you emitted.
Freeing email users got easier when we figured out how to change Notes apps to send notes:// links to themselves (instead of DocLinks to themselves) in email notifications. They work happily in Mozilla (including Thunderbird). Unfortunately Lotus didn't bother to make them work in the Notes email client itself.
Where have I seen this before... a groupware platform built on required client software that costs money, and proprietary protocols? Ah yes, it was Mr. Ozzie's last invention, Lotus Notes. But this time, we also get to share our identities with the rest of the Groove network.
Notes is a case study in how proprietary groupware is doomed to lose out to standards. The same will happen with Groove.
And it seems to be true. InfoWorld's own CEO gave up his attmpt to get rid of Notes. Won't that make it difficult to migrate to Groove?
Here's a glimmer of hope for anyone still roped to Notes. At my company we have 200 of 450 desktops converted from Notes mail to Thunderbird/Sendmail/OpenLDAP and most of the rest will be done this week. Mainly, all it took was perseverance.
It's too bad Ozzie couldn't find a way to make Groove open and still make money.
This thing may be exactly what I've been looking for. It's basically a video card in a set-top box. It would seem to elegantly solve my problems of:
- Waiting for a Linux-compatible video card with component video out
- Deciding whether to keep my Shuttle XPC in the office (long video run) or in the office (remote control problem).
One question I'll have for them: I have already have a picture-frame server that uses a standard browser as the client, and I don't think this thing is going to run a modern browser very well with only 32MB.

The GPL only works one direction: If you have the GPL binary, you have to be able to get the source.
I believe if they sell a GPL'd binary to anyone, they have to give the source to everyone.
But SRPM's are very easy to convert to RPM's. They didn't have to make it that easy. Does anyone know why more companies don't purposely make building their GPL'd software difficult? The only package I've seen that I suspected of doing this is Cinelerra.
Why doesn't the government simply become a CA, issue public-private key pairs to every voter, and have each voter create a "vote" document by signing it? All the votes could be posted publicly anywhere, and counted ad nauseum by anyone who felt the urge. If ever more than one vote from the same voter in the same election were found, that vote would be invalidated (the guy didn't keep a careful enough watch over his private key).
Funny you should mention the Blackout. The timing DOES seem interesting. I wonder just what functions inside the electric utilities depend on Microsoft Windows. If it's good enough for the nuclear industry, would anyone be surprised if failure of a critical set of Windows systems were responsible for the Blackout?
...could deproject the scanned image to represent the object from an arbitrary angle, or create an ultra-smooth animation of it rotating about the scanned axis. It's the exact analog of the way a QTVR cylindrical panorama is rendered into a window, only there you're inside the object instead of outside.
This technique could be incredibly useful for creating photorealistic views of 3D objects from any angle about one axis.
Wish I'd thought of it. Now how long until IPIX patents it?
Those newfangled packing "peanuts" have the exact consistency of bleached cheetos, and darned if dusting them with a little salt and cheese solids doesn't make them taste just the same, too!
vendors like Acer and Hewlett-Packard (HP) have even experienced declining sales of the products
Therein lies the key. Notice that Toshiba isn't mentioned. This is because Toshiba is cleaning their clock! The 3500/3505 has the right mix of features -- mainly processor speed -- and consumers/businesses have figured this out.
Someone above said a Tablet PC is like a big PDA. Exactly. It replaces your PDA which makes a whole lot more sense than trying to replace your cell phone. I pity anyone who carries all three...

Technically, this means BTC futures can only be manipulated with CFTC permission.
Not that they would ever allow such a thing.
Unless the FBI cares to prove it, nobody knows who controls the receiving address. It could easily be someone who paid for the coins.
For example, an exchange who then sold an offsetting amount from other controlled addresses.
Just like last time, the market moves over the last few days strongly suggest that the FBI is already selling, or has already sold these bitcoins into the market.

If that's "money" talking then "money" is full of baloney. What was "money" saying in February, 2000?
I bestow this thesis highest honors in my "boondoggle" category.

I just tried to short it at Schwab (first time I've ever shorted anything in 20 years of investing).
Got back an error message "The stock is either ineligible to be shorted or no shares are available to short."

How to cancel, quick:
Tell the first person you speak to that you are cancelling your service immediately, and that you have informed your credit card company to refuse all future charges. It's up to them whether they want to update their systems with the cancellation now, or spend 3 months trying to contact you in hopes that it was some kind of mistake, while you continue to use the service.
I noticed that too. It's probably the closest "cool" number to the actual number of shares they wanted to offer.
Bravo, fabulous effort.

As a recent piece opined, "the only thing harder than using Notes is getting rid of it"

It sounds like either NASA is foolish, or your professor was.
Having used Maestro I'd bet on the latter.

The evidence supports your theory: Newton died celibate.
