You could always design the building in the first place to minimize those nooks and crannys that a robot couldn't reach. That is way too practical of a solution though and would never catch on so long as the people inside need a way to show off all their money.
Sure, of course. You will notice though that I actually copied in the specific sentence I was replying to. It's not that unusual to know someone who lived at the turn of the last century. That's the only point I was trying to make. I wasn' t making any claims about how long copyrights should last.
" I sure as hell don't know anyone who lived at the turn of the last century."
She is gone now of course but I remember my Great Grandmother who was born in 1901 quite well. My mother and her mother and siblings are still alive. They remember her even better and knew her at a more active part of her life than I did.
You're right. Nothing is anyone's fault. If you want to eat that whole cake you should do so because you deserve it! Don't let anyone tell you it is unhealthy to swallow that lard. They are just being big meanies.
I know this is sacrilege these days but you could always upload the video to your own website and host it yourself. Then you can actually have it in whatever format that you want!
I don't get it. Why do the programmers working on browsers even write video support at all? No, I'm not saying browsers shouldn't support embedded video. But why does every browser have to reinvent that wheel? Isn't HTML, CSS and Javascript enough to have to support? I would think they would just link in libraries from a project which IS a video player like mplayer of xine or vlc or something. Then they should support whatever formats and framerates that player supports for free!
I'm not sure that indicates they are supporing Flash so much as that they realize that there is still a lot fo Flash content out there and if they don't mine it someone else will.
These days there seems to be a lot of people out there that think a computer isn't useful unless it can play all the latest 3d games and somehow these people have gotten into deciding what is and isn't good for Linux.
If China 2014 - USA 1960 then China from 2026 and on until who knows when will be grounded, pathetic and useless. Good for them that they will get to shine for the early 2020s though!
1972 Last US Moon Landing 1972 - No one does a damn thing
Nope, I don't really see any reason to pick on China specifically there. At this rate they will be inventing the wheel in about 200 years but good for them because the rest of us will have forgotten how to do even that!
But don't worry, we still have junk food and reality TV.
A long time ago I used to do that with inittab. And then suddenly that was wrong, we weren't supposed to use inittab anymore, everything was supposed to bin in an init script.
I don't think keeping it from hitting the Earth was the only reason they wanted to redirect an asteroid. They want to get it to lunar orbit so that they can have more time to do more detailed science on it. It's also a big technology goal to keep us developing.
I guess we could just spend all the money on the same old things ad nauseam because it might take a while to start getting a return on anything else. Why try for progress when we can just keep doing the same things our ancestors did?
"they so rabidly defend as "proof" that there is no God or that religion and science are incompatiable."
On the rare occasion I hear of a scientist discussing this at all they are saying that science and religion can be compatible. Of course, they are talking about a much looser interpretation of Genesis than anything the fundies would accept.
This reads like you have been watching the history channel. If you have opened your mind to those posibilities I suggest you watch this: http://alturl.com/t6iaq. Try to view it with the same open mind. Then make your own decision. I can' t tell you what to believe.
I would look for a device that looks/feels like a regular cellphone phone but uses voip. Hopefully it would use a free service like Google Voice. Then just buy her the internet access for her room.
Yes, I know that is $15 more than your maximum amount to spend but I doubt you are going to find unlimited data for less anyway. Then you can even give her a tablet or laptop if she is up to learning to use it.
I see your point. But, the world has far too many panicky people. Maybe it is time to decide that nowhere is sacred. Maybe they should be trolled into panicking until enough of them finally wise up and stop running around yelling that the sky is falling every time something seems a little off.

"The post is a wonderfully pedantic argument about dating (things, not people,"
Of course! I don't think any of them are likely to have any experience dating people!

What an insulting thing to say about the astronaut!

If I can't see it by telnetting to port 80 it isn't there!

Several times the size of our sun is stil a VERY long way from being enough matter to explain what "Dark Matter" is meant to explain.
Wait, so now we aren't setting read/write status in fstab anymore?
Something nice about Systemd... well.. uh...
Systemd is PROBABLY not quite as bad as Dick Cheney.
There, how was that?

Whatever

Usually it's people trying to reform human society that CAUSE those things.

Then using their corpse in a ritual would NOT be the hygenic thing to do.
