Instead of the ads being intrusive they'll probably just project them as a 3D hologram on the roof of your car so everyone can see them.

In a sense this already goes on with our bodies throughout our lives. We don't have any of the cells we started off with when we were born, for example.
So technically we already are copies of a copy of a copy ...

What's the over/under on some news outlet somewhere posting this as Breaking News as if it's currently happening?

I've been entertaining the idea that if I were to ever download a movie and it was something I enjoyed I'd cut a check and send it off to the actual content creator, bypassing the **AAs altogether.

brisk0 writes: Quote from the article:
Joss Whedon and The Science Channel’s Debbie Myers confirmed to a packed room of journalists that if the planned Firefly reunion movie performs well that we can expect a full Firefly series reboot. And, it seems as if Whedon plans to wipe the slates clean and bring back the entire original cast.

I would hope that everyone guilty in this scheme sees prison time as just giving the money back and saying sorry isn't going to cut it.
Otherwise they should afford this choice to bank robbers that get caught.

This ruling could force governments worldwide to consider Open Source alternatives before committing to MS products.

Submission + - 'No Safe Harbor' From Record-Tying Patch Tuesday (computerworld.com)
CWmike writes: Microsoft says it will deliver 10 security updates next week to patch a record-tying 34 vulnerabilities in Windows, Internet Explorer, Office and SharePoint. The patches will also quash two bugs that Microsoft acknowledged in February and April. 'I'd actually call this a moderate month,' said Andrew Storms, director of security operations at nCircle Security. 'Looking at the criticality of the bulletins, and the fact that the number [of bulletins] is low, it doesn't look like a huge month to me.' By the numbers, however, next week's updates will be huge. All six updates affecting Windows will impact Microsoft's newest operating system, Windows 7. And with one exception — Windows 2000 and Windows XP will not need Bulletin 9 — all currently-supported versions of Windows will require all the patches. 'There's no safe harbor this month,' said Storms.

coondoggie writes: NASA’s now hibernating Mars rover Spirit spotted rocks scientists say could offer key clues to whether or not life ever did or still does exist on the red planet. The weird thing for NASA is that the outcrop was examined by Spirit in 2005, but the data pointing to the discovery languished since then because one of the instruments that detected the carbonate minerals was partly blinded by dust, the space agency stated.
