In hindsight it would have been far more hilarious if Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson brought the news.

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

I guess then the proper thing to do is to form a cordon sanitaire on all internet services delivered to the Hungarian governmental organisations effectively blackout their entire operation. How is that for democracy :-)

Driverless buses do exist in The Netherlands since 1999. The only known crash was when a human override the system. http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...

Maybe a little bit more realistic: prevent they can do any other DMCA requests? That would certainly have some great effect on companies that are "just following orders". Another good option would be the support from a safe heaven user like Google to comply with the claim, but directly initiate a counter suit for lost revenue.

I am a strong believer in the "not one cause" theory. Maybe you find the attached article also enlightening. http://www.plosone.org/article...

Maybe the Haskell team at Microsoft Research really didn't have anything better to do.

How would a mandatory publication of all code as open source [not suggesting liberal licensing here] work out here? Might converge at a collaborative initiative and will most likely be reviewed by all sort of people.

Does anyone really think that the NSA wouldn't have been overthrown by the people if the government wasn't there to protect their precious surveillance state in the first place, using means of violence against human society as hole? What we need is a way to establish a status quo in ultimate personal security. A way no sniper riffle in Ukraine could hurt you, nor you would be able to hurt anyone else, nor you would be moving where you don't want to be taken. This would give a lovely ecosystem that everyone understands.
We are all quite back at Animal Farm et al. The question is: what should happen before mass hysteria outbreak occurs beyond the typical themes such as "religion". Passive democracy is certainly not quite cutting it, and is it better than the past? Probably yes, because people are being held accountable for registered actions. It does sadly not say anything about the puppet master that tries to make us think we are better off now.

You may recall the SVG standardisation which also included text-flow (still supported by Inkscape) which was then removed from the draft. It seems some companies really do not want users to have such freedom of creative expression in favor of tools that do.

I am really interested what Chris Sawyers opinion is on these improvements on his original brainchild. Would give a great tech documentary on (open)TTD.

Indeed, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylscopolamine is doing the magic there.

Why would you want to make computer science "more appealing" to women? Just look at science students and computer science students in Russia. Women are the majority!

Pressing 4 times volume down, it would allow you to trigger an emergency sms. Such combination could work for a typical smartphone as well, including position information.

Columnstore databases such as MonetDB and their commercial spinoff Vectorwise (now Actian) already showed this can be achieved with open source and proprietary code.

I don't want to talk about risk etc. but can we please get accurate statistics on this one? Because the risk that it is possible that radiation can cause thyriod cancer is good to know, but I am interested how many workers in Fukushima actually got or might get cancer incompare to the unbelievable low numbers in Chernobyl.
