I hope they don't send their music critics or else we wont be seeing very many more productions like this. How do you think their opera got so good? Natural selection.

I will wait patiently until someone realizes that all they have to do to get around this is modulate the phase of the laser. They might even call it a phased laser, or phaser if you like abbreviations.

The sad thing is that the bandwidth will be so small that by the time you have transfered all the data needed to actually do the computation you might as well have used a regular cable.

Doesnt this failure tell us that "cloud apps" are completely fucking bullshit? Say what you want, the real problem was that the wave client was a webpage in a browser. No browser has ever had good memory management for online content--disk cache? wtf is that. If they wanted Wave to succeed they should have written it in C and provided a proper way to interface with it through vim/emacs. Also, aside from the aforementioned niches, trying to read a wave was about as fun as puking out your eyeballs except that it didnt produce that post puking relief high.

Just don't recite any poetry and we will come along quietly.

Anyone else feeling a TMNT / Captain Planet crossover right about now?

Last episode? Huh, Huh??? What else is there to do on the 4th?

Just call them "Twit alerts"

Finally! A way to bump off those jackass who you can smell from a block away without getting caught.

Is it just me or have people still not properly defined what they mean by the internet?

The only time "only use in case of" works is with fire extinguishers, and thats because if you use in times of not fire you get thrown out of housing. You look at someone's searches and they arent a terrorist? BAM 20 years incarceration.

Notice also that a fire has to break out FIRST. Not such a good preventative measure, more like something to keep it from spreading which terrorism does all by itself.

I love the complete bullshit rhetoric that is in use here. This is about as "synthetic" as a plagiarized paper is original. Hacking up a bunch of real genomes is easypeasy compared to actually making life from scratch. The way this was done you dont even have to know the rules, you just put it all together and hope it works.

Life can never be "synthetic." Life is a process, and maybe we will one day be able to stick some genetic code into a cell composed of protiens and lipids and carbohydrates that were all synthesized in a lab, but until then we will always have to steal and cheat our way by taking what evolution has given us.

As much as this concerns me, the underlying assumption here is that kids actually learn things from textbooks. I find that assumption lacking giving the complete failure of our educational system no matter what they are trying to teach other than that school sucks and the government gives you money.

Maybe advertising is a bubble, but sometimes there really are products out there that would make your life 1000 times easier if you knew about them (if only university procurement departments could somehow be enlightened about the existence of 3ply toilet paper).

The ruling will probably be struck down on interstate commerce grounds.
