I wonder if it's hard to crack? We have a couple of satellites there, but can they work it out? I wish we would soon get to the caves and the princesses, so all the effort would not have been a waste. We'll club them unconscious and take their women.

That would roughly be in line with Apple tactics. Apple reportedly dropped the dongle based copy protection in Logic so that the software would be easier to copy, and in turn sell more Apple hardware.
Isn't Psystar installing the original Leopard's to their boxes? That would mean that they buy the licenses. Besides, they are tweaking it to work with PC hardware. The complete and functional product would be a killer. Apple can intervene at any point of their choosing and claim it to itself. Microsoft can't.
What if the whole drama has been scripted by someone in Cupertino? Who knows...
In an amazing Slashdot twist the subjective observations of one Marc van der Chijs, CEO of Spill Group Asia and Cofounder of Todou.com, become the official voice of the Chinese government. Hilarity ensues as hundreds chime in to express their views about the views of van der Chifs about the current events.
Let's see now. "Ge Jianxiong, a professor with Fudan University in Shanghai, made an appeal to China's top legislature to mark May 19 a national mourning day in his article published in Southern Metropolis Daily on May 16." according to Xinhua (China announces three-day mourning for quake victims, torch relay suspension). The article says that the appeal came from the public, and the government drew up a few guidelines and made it official.
About the ceremonies themselves, Xinhua reports. "National flags will fly at half mast, public entertainments will be cancelled and the Olympic torch relay suspended during the three-day mourning period."
Nowhere does it say anything about entertainment websites, but public entertainments. Besides, the actions seem to be voluntary and based on solidarity. It's quite hard to imagine that the PLA would enforce mourning at gunpoint. The whole case seems to be an example of internet hysteria.
Whatever the propaganda, the quake pages of chinaview are an interesting read.
China sets up a surveillance system the western 'democracies' only dream of. Telling, satiric and ironic at the same time. Relatively soon we will all live in China. It's obvious when you look at it from far away, but twistedly transparent when you live inside. I wonder how many decades it takes to join all the databases and form an international entity, which has the total control of all the information.
The rulers will further separate themselves from the masses, who will further be subjected to their realities, which are formed by those who control the information flow. What is needed is clarity, but hardly anyone cares because the basic needs are met and the subjecting actions are not lethal. After all, it's all done for your own good and well-being.
Different points of space are not synchronized. Besides, there are more pixels than that, because the positions are not precise. TV screen analogy doesn't work. I also think that you've misunderstood the Planck units a bit. While they may be the limits of observation, it doesn't mean that the space itself is limited by the units - uncertainty prevails. The number of possible positions the space-time can take far surpasses the numbers you present.
With the Chinese intervention against the United Nations (not just the United States) during the Korean War.
General McArthur was dismissed soon after partly because of his actions that provoked China to intervene. He was eager to challenge China and was overly aggressive. China had repeatedly stated that taking the war too close to its territory will force it invade. McArthur ignored the warnings and Truman himself, who thought McArthur would draw the Soviet Union into the mix and provoke nuclear war. China acted to protect its own interests rather than North Korea's.
Germany was largely destroyed by its own stratetic errors. If they had interpreted their intelligence right they would have prevented the invasion. Germany was tied by the eastern front - another failure. But, if they had commenced that campaign only a couple of weeks earlier it would have been a success. Germany could have been able to secure their positions in Europe, if they had acted rationally.
The zealots got power because of the catastrophic political failures in handling the invasion, and invading in the first place.
Extremists were and are globally rejected by Muslims because of their crazy and violent agenda. BBC's The Power Of Nightmares reveals a lot about these marginalized and highly idealistic individuals. There are Muslim women and gay rights groups in Iran, but the change takes time. Too bad extremists/fundamentalists seem to control the policy not only in the Middle East.
I wonder what's the average usage anyway? Most of the subscribers hardly are on-line 24/7. The same price is being paid by those who make the full use of their available bandwidth and those who tap on it only intermittently. How about letting everyone have the maximum reasonable capacity available all the time, but only the time on-line being monitored? The more you are on-line the more would it cost. People might be encouraged to be less on-line. Having the maximum capacity shortens the needed time anyway.
The maximum possible cost for being on-line 24/7/Month shouldn't exceed the maximum cost of today. That would only be fair considering the situation now. Most people are on-line only fraction of that, maybe totalling only a few days a month, and pay for nothing the rest of the time. If you don't have the equipment to reach the maximum available bandwidth you would also pay for nothing. The less your own capacity at any given point the less would be the cost of a single share of time. The system would scale to any equipment and use.
People concentrate in the entertaining content rather than technology, which is so ubiquitous that it blends in. The human reality is built on rather beautiful science, but its meaning is mass produced to extinction. A breath here and there and a little pause once in a while could make miracles. One hardly ever takes a look of what is seen.
oh the times when all the machinery is one giant robot, which works itself through space while relaying us the information. The controls might get a bit delayed after a while, but it's easier to just sit back and enjoy the ride... Sensing the pulses of myriad of electrons and photons, which vibrate through the network. It provides us the existence of a new kind of individual, that we would all share equally and instantly. Network of immediacy. I wonder when the connection actually happens, and we are ready to lose ourselves... Probably not quite even then - the sensations will be phenomenal.
Internet is formed as our own image. Then again, so is the reality. A technical analogue to actually see what's inside is a tool, an extension of mind. A spiritual analogue is an extension of space. Still a long way to go, but on the other hand, a very short one, a dimensionless journey. AND CREEPY SPIDERS!
And even that Finland collects this kind adata alots, most important thing is that there are laws for individuals to protect their indentity. Precisely, and individual can choose to make this data classified to prevent third party access or usage.
It will be the commercial actors that will bring containers to the package. Right now we are researching for the ships themselves... This ship is about an automated docking system - for the first time ever. Still some way to go... We are at the level of primitive sailing. Some times the crafts sink some times they float, and it's not always certain why they do. The sailors are making acquaintance with the new element. There are commercial actors that concentrate in the infrastructure, like Bigelow Airspace.
Two faced particles that stealthy move in a liquid. Pick up any government, and you can make the same observation. I wonder if the findings of the research team are applicable to macroscopic solutions?
It's interesting that they are trying to harmonize the population by controlling their fears, rather than use their fears against them. It seems to be one step above of the traditional method. The Chinese government takes the position of moral authority and moulds itself to be the source of the ultimate bliss. Or that is what the population should at least think of it. I don't think there will be much dissent around the issue in China, because the material is available to everyone interested in anyway. I can imagine this action being accepted because it means well, even though through control. It doesn't promote individuality, but something communal, which is typical to eastern societies. Of course it is a power tool, but the difference to western societies is evident.
It's interesting how strongly the muslims are against idolatry. It's understandable that they would like to keep their religious beliefs imageless. In that way you don't externalize the feeling at all, but it grows in you. This difference in faith might explain a lot about the actions some individuals take, and how they feel about it. The overblown idolatry of the western religions tells the same about their followers. The images are unreal, but everyone believes they are true.
There is a movie called The Message http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074896/, which tells about the early days of Islam. Mohammed is not portrayed visually at all, but aurally via a piece of music. When he is present we see world through his eyes, and the music plays in the background. I think this is the sort of sensitivity that many a muslim desires, and it is a beautiful way to portrait the feeling. The movie was released in 1977, and comes from quite a different world...

He obviously settled on Ada, because Ada allowed him to implement.
Sounds reasonable. If everything else fails there would at least be a chance to try it yourself.
