You're agreeing with me. The software center is great...anything outside of it? Furthermore, there is a license applied to open software, and quite a lot of cost free software. But the Software Center is a walled garden, requiring backwards

As a recent convert to Ubuntu, I seriously doubt it without drastic changes. The problem I have with the system, the problem I see making the masses balk once they've been convinced to give it a try, is that, simply, things don't work out o

Wait a second. A well trained dog isn't getting shot, and a family member isn't getting shot... Well, unless something incredibly hairy goes down. But I'm reasonably certain arrests for child pornography don't go down like raids on hostile

IANAL, but I believe the current code involves requiring the owners of the copyright to sue, and if the anime isn't held by a company engaging in suing foreign nationals...minor case..

I don't get the rosebud reference, so...you've apparently messed up some twist for me. Thanks for that.

Children keep coming of age for specific media..I only read it last year. My dad read it this winter, my brother will probably read it this summer... I'd argue the statute of limitations on spoiling should be the same as murder. Not to sugg

Does this upset anyone because they seem visually inefficient? Not to say they're computationally innefficient, I couldn't be sure that they are, but they seem to be slow by way of a lack of estimation or some such. I feel rediculous being

This comment is, actually, unhelpful. At least most of us are taking for granted that bit of knowledge, as to actually have this conversation about card counting. Thanks for clearing it up for us. Furthermore, its position in this thread ma

Pennies is a bit extreme. The risk in the enterprise is pretty high, expert assassins rare, and amatures likely to get caught. While an expert assassin may take a job on a random Joe for on the order of a hundred dollars, an amateur with an

Its how "they" work, whether or not "they" are capitalists, if they're in a capitalist system. Oh, paranoia! Point being, it isn't that the people are capitalists, just that the culture allows self interest based threats... I may be letting

Slight point of interest, do you mean the recycling at Yahoo is a sham, or that it would amuse Yahoo employees to know that Google's recycling is a sham?

in what way is burning plant matter carbon neutral? It doesn't entrap atmospheric C02, it is grown in a tank. Then you burn it, wherein it -combusts- releasing Co2. Burning dried life is -not- carbon neutral.

The cable companies saw netflix as Blockbuster's competitor, not their own...and were fairly correct in that belief until netflix changed their game to streaming, and streaming of tvshows and fairly new movies..and even so, the streaming of

Try a reply to both watty and retric, which is, if someone wanted a botnet, the case is that they went after Sony, which indicates that Sony had a vulnerability. Of course, everyone has vulnerabilities, but the coincidence is likely that th

Arguably, there's utility in the fact that the ps3s are all the same hardware, and need only one patch. Of course, the Xbox is also, but the point made in the article was that the PS3 botnet would be quite a lot stronger than a 360 botnet.

Ok, it was a snarky reply, but the point was, we don't exactly need robots so much as labor to do anything... was it downvoted because it was a one liner, or simply crass?

Three hundred Thousand? Assuming the 300k is the total cost of the machine, that's replacing, in a shop open 16 hours a day, 365 days a year, a machine that lives for over six years. Six years, without maintenance... Furthermore, a small sa

That said, the point stands that its actually getting easier to build machines to do the thinking work than the work requiring highly articulate hands: Cotton piking may be out, but sandwitch making is rather hard to conquer.

That really doesn't sound like a huge problem. The method for building robotic arms was full of early errors in robotic arm programs(and likely still is), but the programmers identified those errors and fixed them, over and over again. For
