Describes the dual-stack solution where IPv4 and IPv6 coexists on the same network. This standard dates from 2005, is widely used, and works well. When the tipping point comes, the speed of transition will come as a great surprise to many. Probably within weeks rather than months.

One implication of the Church-Turing hypothesis is that any algorithm can be "emulated" by an infinite number of other algorithms. So the "patent universe" could be considered an entropic system; where a new algorithm's value drops as other algorithms relentlessly take its place. The time constant currently granted by the USPTO is probably much larger than reality, for most situations (just guessing here).

and work to keep it that way. Security is a political state, according to most experts (Schneirer et al). And yes, "reducing the size of government" in a democracy means reducing that democracy.

And MSFT isn't. The last few years have been a humiliating time for Windows corporate, and they really had to do something to show some vestige of due diligence to shareholders. The mess formerly called Metro was their first answer, which at least can be fixed with SP1. But, the ipad-beating ARM reference design (Surface) was such an obviously pointless laughing stock, that they had to build it themselves to keep the fiduciary duty lawyers at bay. At this rate, private equity will be circling overhead for some time to come...

This is very true in my case. But as soon as Hulu and Netflix don't continue as is, it's back to HMA for me.

and different media can be used to discuss the falsifying data. So, what does "type of media" have to do with "scientific truth"? (hint: nothing) I guess the author's main point is that "crowd sourcing" is being ignored by the "elite scientific media". NYTimes, not your best moment here...

are actually fairly common. If a particular species' environment doesn't change much over time, then "natural selection" is pretty much done with them. The article's points about juvenile death rates and mate selection are interesting, but would like to see a better description of evolutionary pressure, in order to agree that evolution could still be at work.

Unfortunately, you'll never see this. Because it's illegal for artists to be paid for their work, if Sony et all can't get their 90% "cut".

Don't worry! Windows 8 Metro to the rescue! Those dumb-a$$s in Redford actually fell for our plan and copied Unity. Not even a good copy. Not even as cool a name.

Print journals charge market rates, not actual costs. The difference (profit) goes to the owners, usually an allied association run much like a private club with compensated officers, scholarship programs, etc. The journal editors and reviewers (who provide all the actual prestige and work of the journal) usually get "academic credit" for their participation and therefore not paid anything else. Certain engineering association journals even seem to specialize in "teaser" papers, designed to drum up consulting contracts for authors (association members) who can write baffling yet interesting sounding papers. Lots of advantages for a more open process here.

and advocacy debate (aka. legal justice system) really are polar opposites. An individual scientist is no more "qualified" or "reasonable" than any other scientist, assuming both have equal eloquence, social status, and professional prestige. The advocacy system itself is ancient, it dates back to the days when anyone who said they actually understood something must be considered either crazy or a god. Can cancer can be cured through the use of chiropractic spinal adjustments? Depends on who you ask, and how much mojo they bring to the table.

Just too stupid easy. Hey wait, is this one of those push polls?

Just announce you're done with it, and compile all the highest bidders. Send grateful thank you message to all your free advertisers. Free enterprise works!

Exactly what? The authors don't offer a testable prediction of their hypothesis. For example, one would think that biological limits to maximum lifespan would be affected. What phenotype emergence mechanism is being proposed? This sounds like group selection, which has specific testable, limitations as well. Alll in all, I would really hesitate to use the term "scientific findings show" to describe this hypothesis.

How many CEOs actually said their CIO "appears to be failing"? Gartner's "newsflash" restated: "Bean counters and computer nerds aren't usually promoted to CEO".
