Einstein has already postulated that it is a dice-less game.
Well, maybe it is diceless in theory, but imagine that for most entities there is a kind of event horizon beyond which it cannot calculate and predict and thus favor and influence events because the decision tree branches faster than, so to speak, the borg can adapt, then these events will appear to contain a random component even if technically there is a mechanism behind them(And if this sentence should appear meaningless and random to you, well that sort of proves my point).
There also might be that kind of randomness which leads to a many-worlds-interpretation, that is at a point where there a choices, for each choice a universe will be created. However maybe things are - or appear to be whenever we ask "why" - more entangled than that, for example a quantum computer will collapse to a set of decisions, not just a single bit.
While the cache excuse might work, it also means the cache has to stop distribution whenever the original site wishes to end distribution (exercising their rights).
This is bad especially for the wayback machine since right now they operate in a legal hole (not a loophole at all).
The right question is not how many times the song was downloaded but how much.
How much the song can be downloaded and therefore uploaded by you is limited by your upload bandwidth, which is lower than the download speed for DSL connections.
Also many filesharing programs show the upload/download ratio statistics.
Also, download speeds and therefore upload speeds reciprocally usually suck as far as I know it.
From the article:
The neurotic bot was more likely than the others to distort hard facts about resources - like the amount of timber around - and flip between extremes of behaviour. And it was better than the rest.
Basically this means the extreme and fast reactions are the optimal ones; for example to get from A to B in the shortest time and stop at both ends, you'd accelerate with full force and then brake with full brakes.
Humans neurotics however, might have a taste for braking only or accelerating only.
A cease and desist letter usually isn't original, it is a half-standard text. That is why attaching a copyright notice to it might not work in many circumstances.
You also would probably anyway be allowed to make copies for the use in your defense against such a letter.
If you had read what you have googled, you would have found that the paper then proceeds to describe a system which prevents the gov't from knowing every vote in the context of an electronic voting scheme and even goes so far as to suggest that the final tally may be kept private, just the winner is announced. I somehow doubt that they will be able to convince the public that such a system works, but hey, it is math..
IMHO, the drawback of randomized patrols is that the agents are acting like blind while they are rushing from one random checkpoint to the other random checkpoint. Otherwise a good idea.
Believe it or not, the USA indeed is a problem because of its addiction to cheap oil, gas and energy. And the USA knows this and sometimes acts against it.
The USA is not even addicted in a good way, because the energy isn't used to fuel a spacefaring program, it is consumed by SUVs and air conditioning. In this respect, the USA will be the reason why some aliens will wonder about the fermi paradox.
Moreover the whole strategy might not work forever, since counter effects like the trade balance add up, and when it stops working, who can tell which state will be the one with religious zealots and the centralized government with the grip on the economy?
On the other hand some people should be thankful that the USA is facing mad men right now. Which again doesn't mean that the USA can wave the "mission accomplished" flag, because structures unlike those the USA is wishing for are intact in both countries currently in focus.
To go into more details, and more paranoid details:
When USA think tanks view the world as a chessboard, the strategic locations are seen as those with oil, providing a dangerously simplified view of the world.
When the US drafts more wiretapping laws and directives giving more power to the president, then maybe one reason these pass is that some who are rich will at least partially favor a strong central government by friends of religious zealots, because it is one way to be one with the people, or simply put, it gives votes. It also might be seen as providing cultural coherence.
Why "No"? Where is the contradiction to what what I've been saying?
Saying "or under later versions" means I trust the FSF that later GPL versions will still follow the idea of copyleft and will not deviate from it for example by releasing it under a license with no provisions or by a draconian license(you could consider the GPL3 to be one such if you wanted) that is actually used by newer projects and new contributions.
The "or later" part is an optional part of the recommended text to include the gpl license. If it isn't included by the author, you don't have that permission. (So notifying the author wouldn't help)
If the part is there, he author has already signed away his rights regarding the license change to the FSF. He is trusting the FSF.
However, IANAL, if anything the FSF did to the license was not in the spirit of the old license, the new GPL would indeed be deemed unfair towards the author, but that wouldn't be a black/white decision but rather a grey area of consideration.
I actually think context matters. A number should only be copyrighted when the context helps to use the number.
DMCA takedown notices should be void if there is only the number presented, without context that allows to understand and use it as a circumvention device..
Why not finished, are you stuck or did you loose track of the red thread somewhere? It helps to put down all your info on paper, thats how I kept some track.
RFC3514 sounds like any windows system (as a potential zombie) should set the "evil bit" by default.
"Multi-level insecure operating systems may have special levels for
attack programs; the evil bit MUST be set by default on packets
emanating from programs running at such levels"
Why not, if the Tor exit node was provided by the Chinese, then would shouldn't it block requests for democracy? I'm not proposing central filtering, but responsibility for your server.
Would it be possible for a tor exit node to apply automatic filters to requests and replies so that the usefulness for illegal porn and criminal activity is reduced ?
This is different from ternary logic in that if you take N qubits, you get 2^N combinations to which the computation will be applied simultaneously, while if you had N ternary digits, you would have a fixed single state for each digit, even if it was 3 states instead of just 2 states as with bits.
The hard part about making qubits work is to keep them shielded from random outside influence while all of them stay qubits not bits. It is so hard that I wonder whether the company mentioned isnt selling vapourware.

Firefox js is slow, maybe by design.
My javascript game HylZee runs very slow on firefox.
I'm not so sure that I'd trust these guys to specify a new version of js.

For those of us computer addicted, there is also a decent PC computer game about it, at least if a few math type puzzles don't put you off.
