The cool thing is their greed is being eaten away from the other side as well - home recording, powerful computers/software, and the internet is making it easier and easier for artists to get a quality product to an audience, bypassing the "music industry" altogether - at least for recorded music.
I don't think the **AA-type organizations have any coherent picture on what the future of media should be, other than "everyone should buy every release of the same shit over and over again".
That's what I was thinking - surely a hand pump would be much more useful most of the time? The solar panel would be good for keeping the unit busy when no one's around, but for a portable emergency supply you'd get more useful energy from people winding up a spring using a handle.
I'd say that's what copyright is for. If you spend thousands of coder-hours implementing 1-click purchasing on Amazon, that doesn't mean it's inherently patentable, because anyone that looks at it from the outside can throw the coder-hours themselves at it without needing any special research. They shouldn't be allowed to just come along and steal the codebase, and that's where copyright protects you.
Or else DNS will have to be re-architected so that it returns not only IP's but port numbers, so when you go to www.somewhere.com, it resolves to x.y.z.w:n, and the host x.y.z.w has port n forwarded to the right server.
That's a great idea! Have everything federated using NAT, and still have the ability to talk to a node through several address translations! Except we'll probably have to bump the port space as you say. I propose a 128-bit port number, expressed in hex, separated by colons. And to keep things simple in basic cases, you can leave a big contiguous portion of it blank and exclude it for readability. I'd call it IP4.6. Everybody wins!
In reality you could just label everything "Plonk", have the grapes/location/year(s) in small text for those interested, and people would still buy it.
On a Linux system it's generally "setuid root", which means the filesystem permissions allow program can be run by any user, but there's a special flag that tells the kernel to actually give it root privileges, exactly so that it can do special hardware stuff.
You have to be very careful when writing a program designed to run with an effective ID of root, because it's one of the fastest ways to compromise a system if there's a flaw.
Newer versions of Xorg are moving to an architecture where they can be run without root privileges - there's already patches available, and it's an area of interest for a lot of people.
TFA is light on details, and I fail to see how anything other than zero camber can be optimal for straight-line travel. I can see how it could reduce rolling resistance during cornering (in the same way it improves grip), but if you're looking to improve braking as the article claims, I'd be looking at caster (angling the wheel forward like the front wheel of a "chopped" motorbike) before camber.
The major goal of ITA and the airlines in this scenario is to reduce the booking failure rate to 0%, which is of course unattainable
Not unattainable, it just seems to be impractical with current technology to make the user wait for their "lock" on a transaction to pass through the ITA before being granted. Perhaps if Google can optimise the process a bit they can integrate the purchasing to the level where a seat becomes unavailable from the ITA's point of view before the user can proceed with the transaction.
It's an interesting example of relativity though, because you're using the speed of light to try to accelerate you to the speed of light - once you understand that the speed of light is always constant, you arrive at the fact that the faster you're going, the less energy the light has. The light "shifts" to the red side of the spectrum.
They should just admit that the more popular term is "spelunking" (because it sounds cool to say), and go with that. They probably just don't want to cave in to that kind of influence...
This isn't walking into someone's house through an open door, it's taking photos from the street, and I have no idea why people thing it's different to Street View - as GP said if there's no curtains on your windows people will be able to see in.
Well the Apple way of doing things would just be to yank any app that's discovered to have an active exploit, and maybe remote wipe it from phones, then probably disable any infected phones until the OS is reinstalled. If that works for the masses it could be a nightmare for Richard Stallman, because it'll probably spread from there to the desktop.

Exactly, they're ignorant because they refused to watch The Phantom Menace.
...or maybe they did. Wasn't Revenge of the Sith translated to "Backstroke of the West" in the early pirated copies?

This is one of the reasons software patents are stupid, why patent trolls exist, and why the patent system in general needs cutting down.

At that age, 'life in prison' probably isn't much of a deterrent. The potential reward may well outweigh a decade of imprisonment.
especially if the reward isn't for you, and is for family members/loved ones

Doctors' Scrawl is truly a special type of written language, worldwide.

Does anyone remember those wacky old PS3s you could install Linux on? Ahh the good ol' days :)
Regardless, they're the ONLY way to play homebrew on the DS. Nintendo would have a case if they allowed unsigned code.
Simply put, yes, OpenGL is awesome. The fuss over OpenGL 3.0 was because it wasn't as awesome as it could have been at that time.
It's also available on many more platforms than D3D.

If you submit an error in the mapping system it has to be confirmed - your complaint simply can't be taken at face value
True, but there has to be a class of errors that can be confirmed with good accuracy just by looking at the "satellite" view on Google Maps

Probably more than it would take for the environmentally-fanatic aliens to become enraged and drop a blob of red matter into our planet's core...

I don't think the ticket merchants really care if a sold-out event is any good or not.

Which is ALWAYS System RescueCD - I've never come across a better emergency disc.
Consider for example: [...] www.ford.xxx
Oooh baby :)
