No, they do not need to be dragged kicking and screaming into the Internet age. They need to be dragged into the street, forced to kneel then shot with ar-15 so many times you can see light through them. They are actively destroying innovation that could have made them money, us more content and convenience as well as promoted our culture. So the best thing at this point is destruction and replacement. If Aereo finally forces them to offer ala carte then so be it.
oh people can't live without ESPN. All you need is someone willing to pay, willing to pay for a lot of bandwidth, be able to keep it up with all the issues surrounding having a webcam pointed at it and suddenly others don't feel the need to pay a cable company for it.
I hate to wrench your argument but I live in Houston. The basic basic Comcast tier is $20. Thats $8 more than they were offering. My quess is without all the cruft that we as cable subscribers are forced to pay the bill would be the same as that.
Wrong. The issue is that publishing is considered sufficient.
It should be publish or die. How do you know they're doing anything if they don't publish? they could be watching tv all day for all you know otherwise.
But as is made clear here, simply publishing and getting it through peer review is clearly not good enough. We need to increase what they have to do to avoid this situation.
For example... maybe one scientist pays another scientist to reproduce his work.
Maybe you have big collections of graduate students that as part of their process of getting a degree get assigned some random papers submitted by scientists in their field and they have to reproduce the work.
Obviously this isn't always possible... but whenever it isn't possible that needs to be put as a giant red asterisk on the paper saying "this work has not been reproduced"...
Do that and you're not going to get as much fraud or laziness.
I agree with this for one reason. It would finally dispense with the climate change insanity. Since its actually near impossible to get data that is verifiable about climate older than 50yrs that isn't tainted or limited and subject to interpretation(like core samples or tree rings), we could finally put al gore were he belongs. Out of sight and mind. Each day passing I am more thankful that the supreme court gave the victory to Bush. I only wish it could have happened in 2012 for Romney.
Can we all stop being idiots? Look unless she took those pics with an actual non internet connected camera, she gave implicit permission to post them by taking them with an internet enabled device. People ARE going to Hack your shizz. If you have sensitive info on it, it is your fault that you left it there as well as it is their fault for stealing it. This is today; you don't leave money in an open box on front porch expecting it to remain unmolested. You don't leave your front door unlocked. You don't leave the car keys in the ignition. You don't leave your packages in plain sight at a mall. You don't take pictures of yourself naked for any reason and leave them on an unsecured device and expect it to remain there untouched.
Revenge porn is nasty business. It preys on the foolish and ignorant, heartbroken bitches who fuck over men for foolish reasons as well as kind, beatiful souls who were brutalized by dominating thugs mascaraing as men. Its not going away. Anymore than swinging, BDSM, golden showers, chubby chasing, brazzers, vivid, redtube etc are. Yes you have a right to control your images. However ignorance of rule 34 is no excuse. So using common sense says that if you are a prude and don't want the internet to see your quarter sized areolas and shaved puss then delete them. Just like you don't share your bank password, or your social security number online. This is no different.
We need to quit treating is a such. No one stole her identity. Had she left it alone it would have faded into nothing. Her insisting on retribution is what is destroying her. Its a good thing. We don't need any more lawyers like her. They tend to go work for places like Prenda.
Playing devil's advocate. Say the deniers prevent any motion and surprise, surprise 100 yrs rolls around and those predictions failed. In fact very little has changed (other than new orleans flooding via a hurricane and the big one in LA but I digress) will people still sware the science is accurate? No. Those scientists will be stood beside those who believed the earth was the center of the universe, those that believed in aether and that the earth was flat.
There is alot of economic damage that can be done with those policies. We need to 100%. And that's the problem. With this science we can't be.
No. If you go read the decision, it was narrowly crafted to focus on contraceptives only. And for companies like Hobby Lobby and Conestoga. Basically to get the ability SCOTUS handed Hobby Lobby you need to be:
A: A family owned company and only owned by family members.
B: for profit but not employee owned (unless family is the only employees) and not publically traded.
C: be known for your religious views (the family that owns Hobby Lobby is evangelical, also owns Christian book seller Mardel's and is apart of the people involved with Oral Roberts University)
D: Have enough employees that this issue would actually come up (I believe thats over 50 but not sure.)
Alito, who crafted the majority opinion, said this doesn't affect other health care items (like your transfusions or the fact that most pills are covered in gelatin made from pork rendering)
Corporations are "persons" not "people" and moreover, only "Citizens" can vote. Corporations are not now, have never been and shall never be "citizens".
So you would be shocked if an OKlahoma plumbers shared his concerns about fracking polluting one of the world's largest shallow water table aquifers located beneath the Great Plains in the United States.
The saddest is part is requiiring those who worked in repair side of computing to have a comp sci degree. I don't need to understand computing to repair the hardware of a computer. I need to understand electronics.
Students don't miss the point of education. They are never told. Most still believe its 4 years of party time with classes inserted. Its the small percentage that go to the trade schools who want a career or go to a college for a big money career who get screwed. Those who go to party are lost already. We are already second century Rome here, only we are our own visagoths.
There is nothing permanent about digital. In 50 yrs we will have the same issues we are having now with movies from the early 20th century. Only there will be no physical copies to speak of.
an anonymous coward whining about another young loser blaming older generation for his personal failures, sitting on his ass in front of computer that could be making him wealth; but he only uses it as entertainment device and outlet for whining.
at least when I want to make a screed, I tag my name to it. what you got no scrot? (or afraid of losing karma if female?")
I would so mod you up because everything you type is true. this one is the most true and applies to everyone. ""Maybe respect is a two-way street. Maybe I'm not automatically entitled to everything I want."
Let's add to this: "You are not entitled to change a name, remove an item or alter a place because it offends you, no matter your age." This is an abuse of the freedom that those dudes who you see in the picture wearing those crazy white wigs fought for, gave up their money for and yes even died for. A critical mass of us has to offended before its offensive. It has to devalue your life even when you are out of its presence.
Example of things that were and will always remain offensive:
Riding in the back of the bus because of your skin pigment.
Making you sleep in vastly inferior location because of your skin pigment
Forcing your labor without pay
Denying you medical care
Assuming that because you are without resources and eat dirt in a location considered to be another country that you have a right to move to a country that is richer so you can make our poor go without. (Just because you were born and are smart enough to escape doesn't get you anything. IN centuries past, this was a way to get you killed. Smart people fix their surroundings.)
Assuming that those with wealth, means or intelligence are your servants because life gave to a worthless poker hand.
Expecting a handout because you were living off someone who died, left or is incapable of providing for you now.
Preventing you from performing bodily functions if you are outside. (this includes sleeping)
Preventing you from accessing water if you are coming in from outside.
Walking around an event with signs that suggest a deity hates something because you believe that a deity hates something. All Deities hate things however, most hate people who walking around an event with signs that suggest a deity not them hates. Why? because all deities are jealous of other deities. Don't believe in deities? Then you understand the pointlessness of walking around an event like that.
Making a movie glorifying a past that was hard, dark and brutal just because you are pissed no one is respecting your struggle with your pigment or orientation issues. While pigment is a issue we all have to deal with because we all can see it, orientation is a silent issue unless its pda. You deserve respect, yes. However, if your pda bothers others, its not the time to make a movie about its history its time to privately educate them.
Acting as if pigment is as important an issue as orientation. Yes both can cause discrimination. This discrimination is deeply offensive and wrong. Yet if you are a majority (the opposite of a minority) your pigment doesn't qualify you to say my orientation is above yours. Your orientation is your business alone unless you are in porn, then its ours but thats whole other issue. Pda is needs to be left to private areas. No one wants to explain to a 3yr why you are doing what you are doing. If you want to do porn, a restaurant isn't the place to do it (unless you own it and your patrons have paid to watch)
Assuming that a person whose job is acting as entertainment has suddenly become the character they play or has become a deity to worship, adore, teach your children or become less than human.
Assuming that a person who job is acting, making music, walking across a theater stage in costume or doing something that is for public consumption is any less that you or whose behavior is more subject that yours. This is a job. Nothing more.
Assuming that a person who job is acting, making music, walking across a theater stage in costume or doing something that is for public consumption suddenly obligates them you reveal their entire personal life, make available private things like orientation, be subjected to lack of access because people decide they need articles of your clothes or body. You don't throng your postman or your coworkers? So why would you throng a person you don't know because you se
CORPORATIONS! CORPORATIONS! JUST LOVE TO SCREW THEIR CUSTOMERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. AHHHH, USA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE SCREWED!
I would give you mod points for this truism. However, the rest of your comment is a simply a screed that is not true (because the US, UK, Canada and Australia are about the only places making quality English programing. Europe waits a lot longer for the US stuff (if you ignore the Pirate bay) and they have a different dvd set. So no points for you.
Or it could mean 'Netflix adds wooden window covers to its Public API' I think that would be some much more interesting than closing, don't you?

But what good is a scanned book if it's available but you can't actually access it? Almost everything since 1930 is under copyright, and we're legally denied access to this wealth of information, including works under copyright but orphaned. Scanning books, digitizing them, making them searchable -- and then what? If you can't get the book, what good is it? Almost all books before digital typesetting are available online only in bad-photocopy scanned PDFs, not even full text.
A sane society would strip the copyright from any book that is not currently available digitally, if the copyright holder (supposing the copyright holder can even be found) has no plans to make it available digitally in the next year, and revert it to the public domain. Then Google - and anyone else - could do whatever they wanted with the text.
A sane society would have a 14 yr copyright, a president and congress who actually listen to the masses and only serve 4 or six yrs, a Bruce jenner who never married Kris Kardashian because told him it would be his worst mistake ever, a childless Pattie Mallette, a RIAA that served its artists giving them 80% of the money an album earned and didn't attack the people who shared it, muslims and jews who didn't hate each other, women, gays and want to explode themselves in crowded places, a US that didnt spill foreign blood someone in the world every decade for the last 120 yrs and a Microsoft who actually listens and didnt shove metro into 8 or kill xp because it wants too.
But back to the topic. No, stripping the copyright from any book that is not currently available digitally, if the copyright holder (supposing the copyright holder can even be found) has no plans to make it available digitally in the next year, and revert it to the public domain would deprive certain authors (example Harlan Ellison and Ursula K. Le Guin ). You want an actual example of this?
http://wellpreparedmind.wordpr...
its happened in france. Damn those they couldn't find. Me, I am a writer. I want copyright fixed but I don't want my choice taken away either. However, I am in support of this scanning. As for the D&D, well they deserved to be screwed.
I think you lost your point somewhere. So are you upset about all this or not. Me, I am fully in support of OCR getting a LOT more powerful, and Captcha's are going to become useless. I am also in support of scanning and making the info from the scan available like searching Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it reveals that, "yes, the words OFF WITH HER HEAD" appear, and appear on page 78.
However, I seriously doubt we will end up with an entire book of those stupid wavy words and superimposed squiggles because Captcha's are going to become useless.
(yes I used your terms in my comment because you had valid points you just rambled too much.
Marketing doesn't need 15%. People hate commercials. So the companies are pissing that money away. Move all of it but 1% to R&D or legacy and shock you are actually serving the public as opposed to collecting money for the company. Also raw materials is overpriced but that is a different argument.
I would love for Google to delist them. From everything. I love it if they didn't come on Maps or any android app that google maintains. Then see how long that ban lasts.
Well, if you had RTFA instead of being a dork, you would have noted that they're blaming volcanic activity in Iceland as a contributing factor.
Or are you too dumb to read?

Peter holds a very high standard for himself, I'm sure.
The standard practice is to form a unspoken agreement between several reviewers that they will all favorably review each others papers.
Peter couldn't find his circle and created a self-circle.
Otherwise known as a circle jerk.
