I would view copyright terms as being too long, but it wouldn't bother me quite so much if they just limited the copyright increases to newly created works. The real problem is that they always extend it retroactively to already existing works, and are keeping items out of the public domain that would have landed their long ago under their original copyright terms.
Yeah there probable is value. However, best case scenario there is something like a 30 minute round trip for communications to mars, so for a medical robot to have value in such an environment it would likely need to be able to do most procedures autonomously. with the doctor just checking on the outcome after it has been completed.
getting 1ms latency to mars to allow this would be quite an amazing feat and would rewrite our knowledge of physics.
Steve Wozniak spent the night in jail over his device
even better is this tidbit from the article:
He taught the other prisoners how to disconnect the wires leading to the ceiling fans and connect them to the bars so people got shocked when touching them.
combine this story about wireless EV charging autonomous cars and a crazy software developer and i wonder how long it will be before someone programs their autonomous car to drive them around in an infinite loop after they die...or at least until the car breaks down.
who cares what googles car looks like now. when google gets the sensors ans software working then someone that has a sense of style will come along and design one that looks good.
what profits? the profits for selling SD cards at least don't go to the phone manufacturers they go to either kingston or sandisk.
i suggest we give them a grant to buy some red shirts and have them observe this star. if they all die in some horrific accident then we will know for sure.
looks like both of you are actively mirroring my files, i guess i don't need to run backups anymore.
There is nothing the FBI, NSA, CIA, DIA, Google, or Facebook can discover that cannot be discovered by the general public.
there fixed it for you!
although an unscrupulous manufacturer...
This is an article about Lexmark... Lexmark and Keurig seem to be competing against each other to see who can be the most unscrupulous.
This isn't the first time they tried to pull this sort of trick. in the past it was copyright law via the DMCA here is a slashdot article from 2003
who was MLK? i am not allowed to find out because his estate has kept a deathgrip on all his speaches.
His children seem more interested in making an easy buck than spreading his message, whatever that was about...
you forget that Sun (before oracle owned them) sued Microsoft over J++. Microsoft lost and then C# was born
i haven't seen Black mirror but i read the summary on wikipedia...
if her memory is wiped and she doesn't remember it the next day then what really is the point in doing it again?
she doesn't remember it, so it happening again to her isn't any additional punishment for her. to her every day is the first time. which means, really she has a one day sentence. and when/if they finally stop wiping her memory she will just wake up to find herself X days/years older and having only had this one really bad and confusing day.
