Depends where and the jury. If the guy was married and dling regular old porn and lived in a bible belt. There is a high chance the jury will ping the guy with guilty because of moral outrage alone. Juries are there to decide how guilty someone is, often that extends beyond what they happen to be guilty of.
Agreed. And to this point many researchers have released their raw data online for all to dl. So the scientists have done something internally to correct this issue. What more would you ask of them?
"the hard part is figuring out where to send the signal"
Send them pretty much anywhere. The brain is very adaptive. Given a few months of use the guy will learn what the different feeelings correspond to. From their his brain will automatically map said feelings. It will quickly become unnoticable. Perhaps slightly different but for the individual they would not care.
I'm basing this off of many experiments, for example people being given vision through sensations in their tongue... The brain figures out what to do with the raw data quick enough.
I heard that sms packets were stuffed into some other crap the phone sends out anyways so it actually near completely free to send them. (was informed of this by a/.er months ago but i cant find the post)
It is often helpful to ask your lawyer if he'll write letters for you when dealing with companies/institutions. They see the legal letterhead and go hmmmmmm it'll be way easier to just fix this. If you are specific and just need a letter it is generally quite cheap.
Same with newscientist
I imagine all scientific journals will be quite clear on this point. A few suspect emails do not destroy millions of man hours of research.
That is one way to do it but it isn't necessary...

Corporations like SOME regulations... ones that benefit them. But were there no regulations the largest company would eat all the other companies and run an assassins guild to keep other companies form competing. Whoever was CEO would be like Emperor of the planet...
Pure unrestrained unregulated free markets are only a good idea to those who haven't really thought about it.
Parent isn't a troll... He is pointing out the 'appeal to tradition' fallacy... or possibly the appeal to authority fallacy... w/e And his point is perfectly valid. Pretty kneejerk to mod him down.
"cake"... curse you nerd society for making that so tempting to turn into a reference. I don't think I can even have the stuff at my birthday, no one would believe me anyways.
Oh in GT you have to shut off a whole bunch of settings to make it realistic. If you just leave the standard settings the realism is pretty bad... They figured it'd be too hard or annoying for gamers to deal with. Try it out with the aids all shut off. And do it in regular road tires.
Field of view actually is fixable in GT4, and I assume 5. You can hook up 3 screens and set them to 3 different viewpoints. Giving you a pretty good simulation of the real deal, 3x40" screens in a semicircle around you is pretty accurate.
That said, surfaces felt a bit TOO perfect in 4, something they are fixing for 5. And I believe surface changes are being added (rubber on the road) as is vehicle damage.
Anyways I wasn't arguing that GT5 was 100% transferable to the road just that it is a good deal transferable, guitar hero is not.
UAVs/flying vehicles are easier to sim than cars especially when you have to do several hundred vehicles. Also GT has a budget of 60million... I'm not sure how big the US budget is for their games but 60million isn't small especially considering it is a 5th game they are well developed already.
And I take back what I said about drums. I was being snobby against drumming (hit things to the beat), stupid kneejerk bias of mine I let slip, my bad. I still think some of it is transferable to nooby drummers even if it isn't as much as I imagined.
Race cars, drums, and army isn't that shocking of a combo:P though nicely relevant to the thread.
"If everyone starts at the beginning, then most leechers will be looking for parts that only the original seeder has."
I think it would more likely form a train of completion. After 10minutes a lot of people would have the first few parts, this would speed up rapidly every other new downloader catching them up to the pack. I'm thinking of live/near live releases. Some popular TV shows can see 3000downloaders an hour after being posted.
So really then are there any big issues to having a streaming video player for bit torrent? I think with this and once we have commonly distributed trackers will reinstate bittorrent as the media system of the masses. Perhaps something to shield identities being commonly used would be good as well.
Give a single example of a Google ToS changing for the worst.
As I said in the other story, Google stands to gain NOTHING by alienating their whole freaking market for this. Only mega nerds will bother changing their DNS to Google's since only nerds have even heard of DNS. And said nerds will abandon Google DNS in a matter of days if they fuck with the ToS. And the streisand effect would be fucking huge in the group that uses the service.
I think it is a bit more likely that Google is doing this for the data that they SAY they are taking since that alone is valuable. The extra data they'd get by fucking their privacy policy would be minimal, the downside huge.
"And in the case of IE , it's so much part of the OS , that you don't get it for free, you pay for it in the price ( the developers of IE don't work for free , they are payed with the money Microsoft gets from the sales )."
That is silly. Microsoft also pays people to make hotmail also free. But I don't see you bitching that people buying windows are subsidizing hotmail users. Even if it is true in some sense the complain is silly.
GT 4/5 with a good screen and good wheel/pedals is not a game. It is a simulator as high or higher quality than what is available for military training. Many/most of the skills in GT are directly transferable to the race track.
Guitar hero is not remotely like playing a guitar. I imagine however that the drum skills are transferable to a decent degree.
If guitar hero was what I wanted it to be after the early music games came out we would see transferable skills. Plug in an electric guitar and play to the music. The console works as an amp, and marks your playing based on accuracy. While I imagine you could still get perfect and not sound good (accuracy issues), people would naturally make that correction themselves if they actually were hearing themselves play.
Do you know why that would kill swarm performance? And even if it does, how bad do you think it would be if say 30% of the people on did so?
I'm thinking that the advantage of having streaming torrents would be quite a big advantage. Even if downloads took a 20% speed hit it would likely be worth it. Also take into account that more people would switch over to bit torrent (or use it more often) from streaming services. This would likely end up with healthier torrents. I'm envisioning something like 'right-click -> start streaming' it could switch priorities to streaming and then open the file.
WSJ has been going downhill since it was bought out by News Corp. Just because the guy owns WSJ doesn't mean he isn't biased.
Think of it this way, WSJ had/has good street cred. It is a trusted name. Of course he would buy them for the name. Now if WSJ was built as a News Corp company from the start then you would have a good point. But seeing as how he bought a reputation and hasn't built one your point is moot. Look at the very long list of shit the guy owns, it is pretty much all trash... mind you that may be an indicator of the news scene rather than his personal holdings.
If an honorable person owned what Rupert owns s/he would force fox to go in an honest direction. Or at least attempt. Rupert has not and has had hundreds of opportunities to do so. Seems pretty clear that he is not honourable from that.

Coal industry stands to lose billions of dollars. Global warming researcher's wages will be relatively unaffected.

Wow that sure is narrow and short sighted.

Corporations like SOME regulations

Er yes I meant the size at which most DVD rips are compressed to... And since you were fussy with me even though I'm sure you knew what I meant...
"4.7 or 9 megabytes" hmmmm

CNN>MSNBC>Fox in terms of embarrassingly bad reporting. Not that I think CNN is any sort of shining beacon.

Seriously I agree but ockham's razor is not a proof of anything. At best it can be used to force people to keep looking/asking questions.

It isn't new then so the value of the product has dropped...?
Most DVD rips are 700ish MB making a 90minute movie 1MBit/s. Megavideo streams are like 150Kbit/s, even lower than what you said.
Do you know why that would kill swarm performance? And even if it does, how bad do you think it would be if say 30% of the people on did so?
I'm thinking that the advantage of having streaming torrents would be quite a big advantage. Even if downloads took a 20% speed hit it would likely be worth it.
