...it's half a binary planet.

... and how to effectively address it

Uh, stop using gadgets while driving?

I was trying to submit a Windows 7 bug report last week and found it damn near impossible. It's like they would rather pay you to NOT submit bugs.

I seriously doubt fios is the majority of Verizon's infrastructure, since I have yet to stumble across one of these mythical residences covered by fios in my numerous travels.

i'm pretty sure fios is actually a social experiment to see how many people can be led to believe it exists, but not in their area.

If the universe is deterministic, there is no need to store the past states. From any given state, you can run the universe backward or forward however you see fit.

Voyager had just taken its first step to becoming V'Ger by that 1-bit point mutation.

that said, a passive chip which would be charged by and respond to a certain radio frequency would be a godsend in the event I was shot down and/or captured behind enemy lines.

This proves that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

This woman must be doing something right for them to write up a bill specifically for HER to get her to "stfu and gtfo already" about the government planting chips in her body.

I can just see it now "thank you, ok aye votes? motion passed" *she leaves the floor* *some legislators laugh into their sleeves* "NOW, on to real issues".

It is not a "law", it's a draft treaty. It must still be ratified/implemented before it becomes law. I'd like to note that canada has yet to implement the wipo treaty which calls for the DMCA.

Perhaps this "Pre-crime" garbage can be used to get the dingbat-libertarian-right teamed up with the far-socialist-left to kill it on the legislative floor.

Give me a place to mail a CV.

My coursework included all the "hardcore CS" fare, and my program stressed teaching students the ability to "RTFM" and self-teach API's on their own.

its been 1.5 years since i've graduated and the "walled fortress" feel to the whole field is beginning to irritate me.

You use a search engine to pair down listings based on arbitrary criteria, and you want those results to be relevant. This means intelligent algorithms which are by their nature non-neutral.

Given that the internet is 99% porn, I think its a very, very bad idea to ban such relevance sorting. I'm sure parents will be happy with their congressman after their kid enters "jupiter" for a science project and gets 10 pages of XXX to sort through.

I believe deliberate, artificial market segmentation is a violation of the sherman anti-trust act. It merely needs to be actually pursued by the justice department.

that will swiftly and very effectively kill off most FOSS projects, as OSS developers do so as a hobby, and often have no clue about the operating system they DONT use.

there's gonna be a meter on your bed, that will disclose.. what everybody knows!..

never thought it would be LITERAL.
