A review of the controversial scientific research conducted by Japan and its whalers has uncovered a list of "bizarre" and useless experiments, including how to cross breed cows with whales.
I wouldn't exactly call it useless. Breeding cows in large numbers has long been mastered, if you could get a cow to produce whale blubber there would be little reason to hunt whales.
People paid 400-500 bucks for these phones, I'll piss in snow, photograph it, & scan it into a compiler if that's what it takes to get a little deeper into these consumers pockets.
Turn it into a platform only editable from Educational Institutions & allow students from any campus to use it as a study reference. Pay for it with a portion of tuition, surely there's somthing such a system could replace and take the funding of.
Let's just say, hypotheticly, that I had a three year old 2-litre bottle of urine sitting in my closet. How much do you think that would be worth on eBay ?
You almost have to question whether someone who would be willing to go on what's basicly a suicide mission is mentally stable enough to actually complete the mission.
Aaronson contends that any method for solving NP-complete problems in polynomial time may violate the laws of physics and that this may be a fundamental limitation on technology no different than the second law of thermodynamics or the impossibility of faster-than-light communication.
I've never been one to completely adhere to laws, but that last one sticks out to me.
If somthing was able to communicate faster than light, how would be observe it happening ?
Maybe an invention isn't somthing anyone actually needs, but alot of people would want. Maybe the inventor has somthing in the back of their head telling them the invention isn't ready yet. People usually have underlying reasons why they don't push ideas on others that not even they understand at the time.
Patents don't encourage inventors to invent, inventors will always innovate because that's what they do. Patents encourage greed & half-assed ideas for the sake of personal gain, which in light of another response to my parent statement, is the exact oppisite of the common good.
If you believe a patent can protect the interests of the common good you're a fool. It's an agreement that a single entity retains the right to benefit from an invention no matter who makes it.
Updated antivirus software works unless the malware writers get ahead of the antivirus vendors,
Malware writers are always ahead of antivirus writers. Antivirus was invented in response to malware & antivirus updates are dependant on new types of malware.
According to the article, some frustrated users are upset enough that they plan to abandon TechNet entirely and turn to piracy.
There's two types of people, pirates & non-pirates.
Non-pirates are the ones who look at March as the date they need to plan for, & they work around that.
Just because someone is a subscriber doesn't mean they're not also a pirate.
No good can come of this reasearch. The people whom it effects will never learn anything from it, the people researching it already knew it, yet they still research it, like they haven't learned that it isn't going to teach anyone anything they didn't already know.
In the end we end up with more people who just don't learn !

There's nothing like a 70" plasma HDTV with close up titties bouncing on the screen. I dare say not even the real thing is that spectacular.

I bet you get at least one user who thinks they're smart trying to argue that even the poster on your wall says IE7 is better than the other browsers.
I wonder if we can use the microRNAs of the zebrafish mentioned two articles ago to controll cancer growth.
Then we could see if there's a way for cancer cells to becone regenerative somehow.

Yes.

How exactly does that benefit the common good ?
Does anyone else shudder at the thought of Myspace & Yahoo users as a collective being unleashed on the Internet ?
