I know that current models show that the brief moments after the BB (relatively speaking), that they had the universe expanding at FTL speeds. But I never understood how on the one hand, Physicists says that nothing can go FTL, and then say the first bit of time after the BB, things were going FTL.
The big bang occurred about 1 femtosecond before "let there be light"
It's because we actually say the 'C' in 'facto'.
But it seems it will be unified: its use will be optional. Which means we'll all probably continue to write as we do now. Also, it'll be valid to either write 'acadêmico' and 'académico', 'oxigênio' and 'oxigénio', etc.
So please, don't blame the kind people a MPEG for MPEG-LA. Blame MPEG-LA themselves, http://mpegla.com/
It's that blasted media franchising culture again, isn't it! CSI, great. CIS-Miami, wall to wall sunglass gestures. CSI NY, ghastly. MPEG, lovely. MPEG-LA, rubbish. And you just know the next one's going to be MPEG-Hawaii or something equally horrible.
That would be incorrect they are put forward by the three main parties.
Just about everything right now is being sent to them in PDF or DOC format. What do you think the odds are of being able to access these documents in 25 years' time?
That complaint about
Those formats are very temporary in their usability.
To be fair however PDF has a reasonable chance of surviving way past your requirement of 25 years.
PDF was made in 1993 by Adobe, which was only 17 years ago yes. But PDF is just a bunch of additions to PostScript ( or
As long as one avoids the worst of the PDF specific features like DRM and scripting, the bulk of the content and markup will be readable.
This is one format that will probably remain around next to forever, just like ASCII.
Um, no.
Ascii, you can open up in anything and read it.
you can't with a pdf.
the UK government is looking to be at risk of getting a hung or coalition government.
Runaway recursion near line 2. Bailing out...
I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but I would suspect not. You can have orbits higher than geosync (think the moon), so you would need to apply a lot of energy to make the satellite leave orbit entirely.
Edit: (well not really, but Preview to the rescue
Actually, it seems you are kind of on the right track though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graveyard_orbit Apply energy to push it into a higher orbit and it will still be in orbit, though in an orbit where it is far less likely to cause harm.
I didn't see anyone paying for namespace in p2p networks or on I2P/FreeNet/etc., maybe we don't need to have parent domains?
And you do realize that domains like
And I'm paying already to get connected, everything should be "intelligence at the border", I'm paying by offering others to use my CPU/RAM/Storage.
Do we really need Facebook/Google to centralize the net when we could all do it?
There is such of waste of computer resource!
And while we're at it, i wish more publicly owned fiber were built as a fair tunnel for ISPs to compete.
It's sad that the biggest super computer on earth are botnets, I just wish it was actually a voluntary citizen network instead...
False assumption. The endpoint PC is compromised in way more cases than the middleman router.
Encryption alone buys us nothing. Or wait -- it buys us key manangement hell.
Perhaps you should read what I was replying to before you start flaming me.
Yes, and that's what we should advocate. Everyone build a secure encrypted network. Ready.....GO!
I was merely replying to the general sentiment here that 'oh noez! the networks are compromised!!!111'
Anyone with half a brain knows that any effective security posture is done with defense in depth on the perimeter along with good endpoint security and user awareness.

"No, he is protesting that Flash is pushing a closed standard on the web"
Apple's hate of Flash goes beyond the web, also disallowing and affects development of apps on the iphone and related products.
But hey, thanks for playing and putting your hate of Flash above that of fairness.
Then again, I see a lot of people who say they run linux on their desktop but have an iphone. There are always those that will choose the "best" tool irrespective of the merits of its underlying development. Your choice, yes, but it doesn't change that the iphone is to the mobile market today what Windows was to the PC in the 90s.
It's not as much hate as disdain. And of course they don't want people to write native iPhone apps in Flash - because it still lacks most functions of the existing iPhone OS, let alone any of the new ones announced for 4.0. If you want to lock yourself into a development environment for a multi-touch device that doesn't even have that can't even handle gestures yet, and that doesn't support most of the features of your OS, you can write your Android apps with Flash - I heard that a year after it was first announced, it should be here real soon now.
It's quite entertaining that you want to sell me the lowest common denominator across many devices as the best tool for a specific one.
Well, not really. Apple's legal team made sure they were the 'only innovator' in the early GUI days, but that was it for that period. They capitalized on the music biz with their MP3 player at the right time and in a slick way.
But they abandoned the PDA right when it was becoming a big market, and it remained a rather rich market for a decade without them.
Their cellphone just doesn't matter. It's got lots of hype behind it, but it's one of the crowd.
Also, let's make jury nullification official and legal. It is the whole reason we have juries instead of letting judges decide. If all twelve random citizens think a law is such bunk that it shouldn't be enforced, then it shouldn't be enforced.
Yeah--but look at 11 random people around you. Do you honestly think there are enough non-sheep among them to stand up against tyranny?
The following statement is not true. The previous statement is true.
