Microsoft had better not repeat google's slight miscalculation. The credits given to the flicker accounts tell that they must of had to opt in, unlike streetview. This photosynth system would be incredibly powerful if it used all flicker images or crawled the web. People are clearly visible everywhere in this system, and some may become upset.
I read the headline, Storm and the future of social engineering, and I thought twice about clicking the link. If one does not have a bit of a healthy neurosis about clicking though anything then they will be infected at some point.
You are right. It may have something to do with the responsibility a software company has when selling you code. There are flaws in this statement, but what I mean is this:
Joe Six-pack is not going to be as upset when he gets infected by the free thing vs. the thing he had to pay for.
Is this fair to say? Can anyone say that better then me?
I think you make a few good points. Whether or not they have the right to send a cease and desist order is irrelevant in this case. This looks to be an issue that the market will correct on its own.
Company looses revenue (freeloaders)= Correct the problem (change the link)
I'm not sure where lawyers fit in to this equation.
What you say about Iranian stats reminds me of the "Ministry of Truth" in 1984. Such manipulation of numbers seems to be a natural consequence when government has the means to do so.
1. Thank you for the correcting the spelling mistake.
2. I'm glad you brought this up, radioactive materials do not release Sieverts. They do release Beta partials, Alpha partials, Gamma radiation and other fission fragments.
You are also correct in pointing out that a Sievert usually refers to the amount of damage done to a single gram of your body by these partials. If evey gram in your body is exposed to 1 Sievert, then it is correct to say you received a "whole body dose" of 1 Sievert. Furthermore if 25 people each receive 1 Sievert (whole body) then the population is said to have received 25 Sieverts. The linear Hypothesis states that for every 25 Sieverts in a population there will be one cancer death (in addition to the 20% given mortality rate of cancer). Forgive me for not clarifying at first.
Your numbers are a little off but you have the right idea, a 25 Sievert dose will kill one man in less then an hour; in fact 25 Sieverts is more then sufficient to kill several people. Exposure to 3 Sieverts is commonly referred to as "LD50", giving the person a 50% chance of dieing. People rarely survive a whole body dose of 10 Sieverts. The linear hypothesis does not apply when the dose is large enough to kill from radiation sickness.
Yeah, those things make a geiger counter go crazy. For that matter, so does the city of Denver Colorado. The city sits on a huge slab of granite rock; the rock contains trace amounts of Uranium. The natural decay Uranium releases thousands of Seaverts of radiation per year. According to the linear hypothesis you will have one cancer death per 25 Seaverts uniformly distributed across a population.
The square footage of your office is most important. The bigger your office in relation to those around you the more important you are, and thus the more "dreamy" your office is.
Cover up empty wall space with your favorite artwork.
If you are lucky enough to have a window, then orient your desk so you can look out.
Proper lighting is key. My 20x16 office has 4 florescent fixtures each with 4 bulbs, and when a few go out you can tell a big difference.
Richard Muller teaches a coarse entitled "Physics for Future Presidents" at Berkley. The class attempts to teach everything the President NEEDS to know about science and technology.
For example he explains that we don't have to worry too much about terrorists getting a hold of plutonium. The fact is that making a bomb out of it is incredibly difficult, requiring symmetrical explosive lenses and other sophisticated methods that they do not have the know-how to pull off. Making a bomb with uranium on the other hand is relative (hehe) childs-play.
The president does not need to know how to construct a working plutonium explosive, but he does need to know that fledgling nations/groups seek uranium over plutonium.
I will add that Muller is also very accessible, I have emailed him and received response.

One may eventually draw a comparison between the huge underground neutrino detectors and the room sized computer.
I don't see something like this going over, seeing as the "average joe" doesnt know if he has an AMD or Intel chipset.
Any initiative of this type would require the cooperation of Intel/others.

flawless victory, you are my new hero.

You sir, are my new hero.
Flawless Victory goes to you.
yes, but due to the crappy cake served in prison it will be running windows.
It wont. Correct me if I missed something.
I read the first sentence of your second paragraph as "Not long ago the absolute value of thought would give Vista a look."
:)
I stoped to think whether a quantity of thought could have a negative value and decided it could

I wonder if they could borrow ideas from the wiki community.
Who thinks he may have gotten what was coming to him?
I have five mod points, however I cannot use them here. If I could I would mod your comment Insightful.
Thanks.
Some ISP's will filter content. The consumer will either accept it, or use a different ISP.
The market ultimately dictates policy in these matters.
Please mod insightful.
Thank you.

It could be like the PSP, once you upgrade the firmware your homebrew stopped working.
