Even judges aren't beyond simple marketing mind-altering tricks. It's really simple, state enough times that the lawsuits are sham and whomever reads your document will automatically agree.
If we allow ourselves to be watched it means we get less ads that do not interest us and more ads that might hold something interesting to us. In fact the web was the very last media to catch on to this and start targeting their ads, so I don't see the big fuss surrounding this... don't you want not to be annoyed?
Just for example, have you ever seen a Persil commercial during a Formula One race on television? I'm guessing no.
I'm not understanding your logic here... why is it that a girl who is obviously fun is somehow considered a "bargain" in your post whereas a boring normal person seems to be denoted as something to strive for?
The only solution to all these jurisdiction problems related to the internets everyone seems to be having is to introduce an all new international authority that only deals with the internets and has jurisdiction online and only online. It would make sure everyone is kept safe and it would not answer to any one government.
You know, sort of like Haag, but for the internet. What d' you think?
Just one thing though... They just may have had nothing to say or whatever on Slashdot because they were otherwise engaged saying stuff or... you know... coding.
I wouldn't be so sure. If a person is say 17 and they meet a cool and sexy 19 year old online. We all know full well internet chat is full of near-sexual acts in, at least, a joking manner. It's how it goes.
So say these two then meet up in person a few times and decide they like each other... or simply get drunk. And they have sex...
Something tells me that's not really all that rare of an event. Hell, I'd do it if anyone I knew online wasn't from awfully far-away places.
"The number of survey respondents who actually befriended an adult online and then met the adult in person for sexual purposes, was zero."
I am personally dating a person who did exactly that and was with said adult (she was a minor at the time, he was 13 years older) for a year. First it was casual sex, then it was a relationship.
If she were in the survey, would she spoil that zero number or not?
... because they let you GPL the stuff you work on from the get go. You just mention when you begin that working with GPL will make you more efficient, quicker and cheaper because you will be able to use a miriad of pre-made solutions. Mention also that whatever you create will also be GPL.
In most cases they will agree to it and you will benefit much more than they will because you will be able to use the code you create forever more.
Because here in Slovenia it costs 0.02 euro to send an SMS and, coincidentally, it also costs 0.02 euro to talk for a minute. Sure, the SMS might be cheaper for the provider, but often the SMS is more convenient for the user (say, talking to your girlfriend while in class without disrupting anyone)
Or maybe that's just the one provider and the other is being extortionate as hell...
Actually you should first test in Opera because it has better standards support than FF and is better at guessing what you wanted even when you screw up. Furthermore it doesn't support stupidity like moz-round-borders (or something along those lines), which I'm sure is as sane as IE's custom CSS ideas and implementations.
Oh I get it. So these robots aren't technically lying, but have just randomly discovered that giving out false, instead of correct, information benefits them more than giving out correct information?
How exactly is there a difference? You can't have too much fo a complex model of the target's behaviour if the target isn't complex. And they are giving the target false information in order to get a desired response from the target - the target eating poision instead of the robot's food.
See, the thing is, you don't necessarily want a new species of the Homo genus walking around. Look what happened to Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis when Homo Sapiens Sapiens came around...
Naturally since we can in fact do something about pollution and thus prevent this new species from coming into existance... we should.
The first is designable around -- damage to the hot air or helium part due to lightning, or tears due to other factors. Having multiple "balloons" might help this situation, so if one is ruptured, the airship still can stay up, or descend in a fairly graceful fashion.
All rigid airships are designed to have a series of helium balloons inside a hull, which could in fact be made out of aluminium or some such, so the relevance of damage to these balloons becomes less important than the damage to, say, an aeroplane's wing.
The second is a bit harder, but sort of related to #1. There are people out there (in most areas of the globe) who wouldn't mind taking potshots at an airship. It could be a drunk hillbilly who is playing with his new 30/06, or someone who has a RPG and is hoping to knock the thing out of the air completely. Oddly enough (and I have little or no aerospace expertise), I wonder if, even with major damage from a missile hit, a well engineered airship still can land gracefully (assuming the gondola isn't what is damaged.) Could an airship fly high enough so the chance of getting hit by ground fire be minimized?
Again, the same problem exists for all other types of aerocraft at least on take-off and landing. An airship might not be capable of flying above the weather (buouyancy issues I imagine), but it can still fly at an altitude of 5000 meters I'd say... that's high enough to prevent hillbillies being a problem.
Lastly there is a third problem. There is a ton of air traffic already. I wonder how hard it would be to factor in large, slow vehicles into the aviation corridors without impacting takeoffs and landings of jets and prop based traffic.
If the airship is given enough motors on pivoting mounts it can actually become quite manouverable. In fact, those motors could be jets making the whole thing, probably, more manouverable than a commercial jet. Remember, it can need as little as its length in room to turn and can land/take-off vertically.
As a completely unrelated comment: all those airships in the article are strikingly similar to the design I proposed in an essay for Steampunk Magazine's issue 2... I must be a genius.
Why am I not surprised that the ever so awesome Opera isn't mentioned there and yet nobody seems to have any love for the one and only best browser in the universe.
I will never get it what is it with people that they will fight over whether white or black bread is better when they can have cookies.
Back when I was going to school we were taught that protein was just there to build your body and make it be what it is. Now we're learning on slashdot and otherwise that protein can carry a disease and infect things (BSE) and NOW it can even sense things? WTF, what's happening here? O.o

I bet that time she met a nonpooper was a deal breaker for her.

I'm developing a tool for communications experts to analyze information. I have a life.
But in other words you could just call it having a job and thus not worth a shit. 'having a life' really depends a lot on interpretation.
But is it not at least a tid bit sensational that an AI would be so intelligent as to be capable of lying?
... verily robots smart enough to lie are a remarkable thing.
I mean let's be honest here, humans only learn to lie when they're six
Well I don't really care either way, neither is going to happen within my lifetime.

If they managed to improve on age old technology, I say why not?
It's in their EULA that you're not supposed to change its software, which you have to in ordre to unlock it.
It's a bit like "unlocking" videogames.

And the fact that many have been using iPhones in Europe for a while now

Everybody knows the spaghetti monster create the universe, all this nonsense of bangs and rumbles is what happened in the postgenesis spaghetti fart.
