for legal purposes, if someone starts off one gender are they always legally considered that gender or does gender altering surgeries change your legal gender.

gitorious has always felt a little unsecure, and it tends to be rather picky about which ruby gem versions it uses. that aside, amazing interface.. probably one of the best

The UN has been pushing for control of the internet for some time now, but the US has managed to keep them at bay insisting that the US is open and is not doing things exactly like the NSA has been doing. Now that the US's story to the UN is complete shiet, will the UN have grounds to start taking control of some of the technologies and organizations running the internet ?

I think this should be required on all cops in the US as well. It would help protect both the police and citizens.

The same can be said for most any AV software , especially ones on mobile platforms.

I can see this drastically reducing the cost of getting your DNA sequenced, and at the same time I can see police starting to take it anytime they would take fingerprints.

Electronics fail, things go wrong. Adding more possible points of failure to the people that depend on a single shot firing perfectly seems absurd. This technology I think is great and should be required for all consumer sold weapons. I doubt that active military weapons are frequently used against us and I'm sure that they keep much tighter control on their weapons already. Additional components will also mean retraining of the weapons so they can be properly maintained. This would cost an insane amount of money to retrain soldiers as well as replacing current weapons.

I probably won't like the movie but I respect them for trying to incorperate technologies that are uncommon in that industry.

It ran on top of DOS yes, but there were still Windows apps/games that ran in only windows, but the popular games were all still dos.

This is all well and good for google, they have the financial means to provide some support; but what about the millions of other small websites out there ran by people without the time or money to support their site or communicate with the users. If I put up a simple tool online to use for myself and it became popular, would I legally be required to communicate with the random people coming to my site in Germany? Id sooner shut some of the sites down than be legally required to provide some level of support or communications.

I hope this isnt an april fools joke (a judge making an intelligent decision) but assuming its not, this is a pretty significant win for developers in general.

bitcoin isnt a popularity contest, its an open distributed currency that was originally created to get away from the current system. asking if government regulation is a good tradeoff for increased popularity means you clearly dont get why people created bitcoin or are switching to bitcoin

With all their current pollution, i doubt china would even notice.

Nobody will really miss them.
