If they have the allocation, why wouldn't they use it? That's how IP was supposed to work. And once you've worked in a network where everyone has a real, non-RFC1918 address, you'll probably not want to go back. It just makes things rea

If you could get the copyright holder to release them into the public domain, then they would be a great candidate for Distributed Proofreaders. 382kpgs would still take a while (although maybe not too much if it attracted new volunteers),

Not worth it; not for $250 and certainly not for $5k. I'm not sure why you think the one with the hyphen is better than the one without, but I think it's harder to remember and using both will probably confuse users. I'd dump the "systems"

Looks like it's pretty much an anti-PirateBay bill. I wonder who exactly paid for it?

That'd be fine and dandy, except that people have seen fit to create a lot of social structures that essentially clean up the mess bad parents create at everyone else's expense. If someone does a really shitty job parenting, they're not the

I think the name is quite perfect, really. I can't think of any other single word that sums up what they're trying to do so well, at least not so evocatively. The whole idea is to allow the Facebook-bound multitudes to leave that particula

My take on it is that there weren't any written agreements because each side was angling to get the best deal possible in the eventual joint venture. Only, one of two things happened: 1) FusionGarage never intended for their to be any true

They're part of the discovery process and were unsealed; thus they're part of the public record. It makes sense for TC to reveal them: this deprives FG and its PR-firm cronies the opportunity of spinning them the way they'd prefer, and is p

For a more near-and-dear example, look at IBM: they pursued SCO to an extent that I'm sure was unjustified if you analyzed only that particular case. Hell, I suspect the amount of lawyer time IBM burned while running SCO into the ground wa

Close-micing (which is the term of art for what you're describing) would potentially be interesting in terms of letting people remix the recording, but it wouldn't "let you recreate the experience of sitting anywhere in the concert hall." R

While I'm in agreement in principle, in practice there are significant creative differences between conductors as to what the composer intended. Then there's the issue of pieces that have traditionally been performed one way, but then somet

I'm not sure that really holds much water. Right now, there are a ton of classical recordings available (just under extremely restrictive copyrights). If you want to listen to recorded music, it's available. You can go right down to you

I don't know what the long-term health effects of it would be, but I have it on good authority that dry dog food is capable of sustaining human life, if eaten as a "breakfast cereal" with powder-based milk. Supposedly the cheapest stuff tas

There's a line between "tough questions" and "stupid questions." The reporter was pretty clearly asking the latter. Something like "wouldn't it be possible for you to filter ads based on keywords that suggest illegal activities," or "could

That doesn't make a ton of sense; late-model IBM (consumer) computers were clearly designed to run Windows. While there may be people still bitter about the OS/2 thing, I think the company as a whole has moved on. I think that IBM's engine

Smells like confirmation bias to me. Unless you go around asking people about where they went to school all the time, unless someone is so socially awkward that it causes you to question whether they had some sort of "different" upbringing,

A lot of people don't have the luxury of spending tens of thousands (or in some cases hundreds of thousands) of dollars and, more importantly, several years of earning potential to just "learn things." That's not to say that all or most peo

I think the use cases of Buzz and something like Fridge are very dissimilar. Buzz allows you to subscribe to individuals ; although when you post it's one->many, fundamentally what it's promoting is a lot of one-one connections. Alth

The idea that the numbers are simple lat/lon coordinates (referring to a point in the Barents Sea) seems plausible ... although why the Russians would be transmitting something that openly and obviously is a little weird. Doubtless they ha

I interpreted that sentence to mean that the decision was not accidental but purposeful on Spamhaus' part; if it's accidental then it's slightly different (actually it makes me think somewhat less of Spamhaus, because it's sloppy). Either w

Well, it's mostly factored into the price; IBM's mainframe division isn't that big a secret. But like most "blue chips", IBM is probably a reasonably solid income stock. They have an obvious income stream (software licensing) with a locked

They're powerful, reliable, and compared to writing software for an equally-sized cluster or distributed system, (once you're in the right mindset) easy to write for. Or alternately, not to write for -- you can just keep migrating the sa

Kit electronics aren't dead, they're just ... resting. Elecraft ( http://www.elecraft.com/ ) is the spiritual successor of Heathkit, at least in terms of some of the Ham radio kits. They're not cheap and contain a lot of ASICs, so you're n
