The great thing about that approach is it would avoid the fake towns and streets.
Are you arguing that map makers should wander randomly until they find things of interest?
I doubt that has ever happened. More likely map makers using existing maps and then verify the detail through painstaking physical research. The goal would be to have a more accurate map than their competitors. They then stick in fake entries so they can detect copyright violation.
Bing got start url/click url data from users. The users got send keywords to Google to generate the start url and click url. Microsoft adds keyword/click url to Bing.
Are you arguing that keyword/link pairs are individually copyrightable?
If a dictionary creates a new word and others start using it should that dictionary maintain exclusive ownership of that word?
Are keyword/link pairs even copyrightable? If not then it is free information. Once Google releases it to the public, it becomes public information usable by anyone.
If I see a bunch of people in a restaurant and I eat there because it seems popular am I stealing from those people?
If I open up a similar restaurant nearby, am I stealing from the original restaurant?
$100k annual salary is equivalent to around $50/hour. At the ration described in the grandparent's post, that should be close to $150/hour or $300k year.
10 years ago it wasn't obvious. 10 years ago (during the dot com bubble), computer programming was the way to go. 10 years before that it was doctor or lawyer.
Today there are tons and tons of lawyers and most of them make around what engineers make.
Doctors aren't making as much today either and are having to work harder for what they do get.
Ten or twenty years from now, banking won't be where the big bucks are. It will be in something completely unexpected, like, insurance actuary or something.
Don't tell your kids to go into the hot thing today. Tell them to find something that someone else values that they are happy doing.
Or maybe they are offering new services provided by their executives.

Tron: Legacy
·
· Score: 1
Legacy was in a different computer system than the original. The first had not been designed for humans to enter. Flynn built the second system for humans to operate in. That included constructs like clothing. I have no idea what the non-physical digital purpose a program has for clothing, but then a lot of the physical representations don't make a lot of sense.
The bombs looked like bombs in the physical domain. In the digital domain, they probably did something like heap spray.
TRON somehow overcoming his refactoring/rectifying brainwashing was very deux ex machina.
The whole "we are an evil software company bilking its customers" was a bit goofy.
Sam wasn't interested in running the company because he was mad at his father for abandoning him. After his adventure, he wanted to honor his father's memory. I thought that part was obvious.
CLU was a fork of Flynn. He would translate to a young Flynn who would be able to take back control of Encon. Then he would bring his army into the world. But why did he need to build the army ahead of time. Once he was in the real world, he would be able to program an army from the outside.
The Iso's seemed to have the ability to repair themselves. If you could understand that repair mechanism you could take a sick or injured human into the digital domain, apply a patch taken from the Iso code base, and watch him repair. Then you export him back to our world. There is also the whole fact of new life coming from nothing and programmatic expression of free will. That would have a huge impact on philosophy.
But how did the Iso's translate to our world? Did their repair mechanisms remain intact or did they become human? For that matter, how would the standard programs in CLU's army have translated into the real world? What about his ships and vehicles? Surely most of that stuff just wouldn't work.
"Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy."
When pestisides are approved by the government to increase corporate profits despite evidence of strong risk to the environment, it looks like fascism.
When corporations withdraw their services from someone the government does not like, it looks like fascism too.
Of course it is. Why else do you think God created creation?
The fun part will be when you die and you get to know everything across all of time about this world down past the electon potential fields and interpret it through the context of your experiences here.
I think there is a part of the Bible that says the only unforgivable sin, the only thing that can keep you from going to heaven, is the complete and absolute rejection of God. However, since God is infinite and unknowable you can't really reject him completely. You can reject the parts you know about, but not the parts you don't know about. You might not even want to reject those parts if you did know about them. Ergo, no one goes to hell.
Google is saying that you should be able to differentiate based on the content of the packets. If you are playing video they can give your more bandwidth. That implies they could also give you less bandwidth.
For me, Net Neutrality means I pay for a Quality of Service regardless of what I am sending. I don't want to pay for a contract that says I get X mps unless it is video in which case I get X-Y, but you can pay more to get X+Y for video.
The answer is require guest worked be hired at 130% of prevailing wages. If we have to hire guest worker because of local shortages, that will give companies incentive to hire locally while pushing up wages to encourage more local talent.
A different view of Net Neutrality is that you pay for a certain quality of service and the carrier cannot discriminate against you based on who you are talking to or what you are talking about.
Video, audio, and text all have different requirements for quality of service.
The goal is to prevent a company like Comcast from degrading a stream from YouTube in order to promote their own video service (or to hold YouTube random for a larger share of the advertising profits).
I think the state laws where I am prevent them from raising my price. I'm grandfathered into 3-dics at a time with unlimited in store exchanges and a coupon each month for $20. I also get games. I am never going to cancel.

I don't think you understand what trade secret means.

This is the way the world works.
In North Carolina you cannot call yourself an engineer without a PE license.
I don't know about being arrested, but it would be breaking the law.

I remember how excited I got after I typed "TRON" onto the basic prompt of my TRS-80 and got back the response "OK".

Exactly!
Ideas are easy. Getting people to listen to ideas is hard.
Ideas are easy. Distinguishing real good ideas from false good ideas is hard.
I have way more ideas than I have time. If someone wants to run with an idea I've shared with them then I wish them the best of luck.
OMG! You could have been rich! All you needed was a programmer...
> I wonder what it would be like if more people could implement their own ideas.
Programmers would be valued less, paid less, and the people who come up with ideas would think that is where all of the value is.
> Heaven is a terribly boring place

Teachers also get a pension after around 20 years of working.
How much of your salary would have have to save for twenty years to bring in 50% of that salary for the rest of your life?
Divide a teacher's, fireman's, or policeman's salary by that percentage and you get their effective pay.
You may be surprised how much our public servants are paid.
And they hired people to write the software that does the skeleton tracking,
Microsoft never creates anything. They just pay people money to make stuff for them.

What the research is failing to recognize is that moving the date out 60 days or so prevents the end of the world date from being a base three number.
12212012 in decimal is equal to 4271, which when represented as cents is almost but not quite completely unlike the answer 42.
