As the summary says the planet might be capable of sustaining a paper life form. Paper is an interesting creature not much studied in modern science. It's a life form based on a natural cellulose process. The innate fibre structure allows for the exchange of information.
Yes, you can change code and work around everything.
That's the problem. The solution is there too and coming: streaming of all of the content. Music industry has already gone a long way, and the rest will follow. Streaming and virtualization is the necessary step to make the clients as thin as possible anyway.
The primary reason is that it's simply bad for business.
Well, you don't need a state to control the Internet.
Besides: censorship mechanisms are actively in place in many of the advanced western societies because of content piracy, and more often something new to block is proposed by concerned politicians. One of the problems raised is specifically the fact that the actions have no effect on the original sites. Darknets and Tor kind of systems are increasingly too under fire.
It's not so far fetched to think that US, EU and the other parties could come to an agreement. The common denominator could well be the protection of the businesses, children and whatnot from the terrorists du jour and to liberate people to the lap of government sanctioned information. The present basis is awkwardly similar although implementations differ. The argument is about who gets to set the rules and not so much about about the control mechanism itself.
I agree that cats don't natively belong to my local ecosystem. It's also unsensible to keep them indoors. After what I've observed I'll never have a pet. Cats have historically had a real job in the human ecosystems, but those days are gone now in the modern societies. Besides if they lived in the city or in the suburbs one needs to be careful because neighbors might be dangerously allergic to them, as was in our case before moving to a rural house.

To be honest that sounds like having cats inside the house their whole life. They will become depressed and bored because of the inability to be the animal they are. I believe that our view of the cats in general is based on a slightly false impression. Some may even regress into ritualistic behavior akin to caged animals. It's perplexing to see how the cats can brighten up and become completely different beings when they have a possibility to come and go as they feel like and be what they truly are.
To witness the manifestation of the animal instincts is so rewarding, that after having 'owned' three cats (simultaneously) and seeing what they can be I'll never get a pet again. The electrified being that comes out from the so called domestic cat; the instantaneous sensing that's too fast for the human mind to follow is just too beautiful to be suppressed.
You are so right. It says in the PDF (p.18) that there is a 400 million page processing backlog at the National Archives... And:
In addition to records awaiting standard declassification review, the backlog includes records pending review for other access restrictions, such as...archival records processing.
If it was human this is the first time DNA took a photo of itself. It took a few million years and much learning and understanding to realize the present capabilities, but finally we are there.
A mobile device in the most basic terms needs only the connectivity and a screen, and that's the direction where mobile computing is going (and we are seeing more just screens everywhere to stream data to). The setting is paved with on-line services, which are steadily taken as a norm. A bit of cache memory and everything can be streamed to and from the device, which wouldn't need much of processing power either, or a powerful GPU.
The electromagnetic spectrum is not that much there too yet, but it's coming along too.
That's how it seems to be, according to one rater:
So, you knew it was Google-related. At what point did you know that you’d be rating Google’s search results?
I knew before I got hired.
One thing I think the SEO community is missing is that this program has nothing to do with SEO or rankings. What this program does is help Google refine their algorithm. For example, the Side-by-Side tasks show the results as they are next to the results with the new algorithm change in them. Google doesn’t hire these raters to rate the web; they hire them to rate how they are doing in matching users queries with the best source of information.
Firefox OS is much more advanced in terms of customizability. Everything can be tinkered with. The OS provides tools to create your own technical functionalities and UI's with common HTML/CSS/javascript. I for one would really like to check that one out. The OS will probably become a cost effective platform for all kinds of interesting projects, because for example only the code needs to be shared to have devices unified in outlook and functionality. This is a natural development, as the market which is dominated by monolithic and complex platforms miniaturizes a step further.
I learned new concepts today regarding the Global Warming.
An anoxic event, which is related to the sea temperature, could potentially lead to increased hydrogen sulfide emissions, which can poison the atmosphere.
Vast areas of Earth can be rendered uninhabitable because of the "sudden" rise in the wet-bulb temperature. No time to adapt.
Evapotranspiration may already be severely disrupted. The consequence may be a feedback loop to a drying Earth.
Clathrate gun hypotesis - the rising temperatures lead to a feedback loop of ever increasing methane
It's worrisome that currently everything is pointing to an increased possibility of aforementioned things happening. All of this while the humanity itself is releasing as much CO2 into the atmosphere per year as an extinction level super volcano.
I'm not sure what to think of this. I feel like we already all past the point of no return. The forced reduction of the human activity because of the change in the external conditions can be considered as a natural negative feedback cycle.
Incidentally by the way, at the modern Library of Alexandria resides the mirror of the Internet Archive.

The field is inevitably changing. The number of different devices is hugely different than 30 years ago, and the software/hardware will adapt. Besides you can run the same software via virtualization. It's entirely possible to use Windows for example with an iPad today.

Oops, sorry. The gases released from the permafrost are just gone to happily reside in the atmosphere, unless the atmosphere freezes for some reason.
Indeed we are. Releases from the permafrost are just gone, no way to get them back until the next ice age.
The negative feedback mechanism will greatly reduce the human population to get things back on track (As illustrated by Humon)

Well, the real problem is not how you use the device but the fact that it's felt obligated to use one in an overcrowded space and in a hurry.
