Your argument makes no sense. If my boss doesn't pay me, I'm not working for him. Thus, he is no longer my boss. How is that relevant to the morality issue of piracy? Do you mean in the sense that if I pirate something, the creator of that

It's yet another reason to stay away from cinemas, not the only reason. The non-3D versions that do play around here tend to play in the smaller salons, and for example in the case of Tintin, only the swedish dubbed version plays as non-3D.

Here in Sweden, that has been my experience (blurriness, dimness). Sadly, we have a cinema monopoly around here and I am guessing that they are saving money by undercranking the projector bulbs.

Yeah, I saw that and I still can't make up my mind about it. I mean, I can see how it's a shiny new toy and it must be great to get to play around with all this amazing technology. At the same time, the Lee/Howe concept art in 3D stuff seem

I was in the tube that day (but at a station far from the actual bombs) and probably because of that plus travelling the next day, I saw almost nothing of the coverage or what actually happened. I only noticed that something had happened af

The strangest thing about the whole 3D cinema trend is that it seems to have sprung out of some anti-piracy / anti-home-cinema idea among the studios. I can't speak for everyone, but for me it is just another reason to wait and watch the fi

Ah! I didn't know they were involved in book scanning as well. That makes sense. Thank you.

I'd also like to know why they have 160 employees. That's more people than any company I've ever worked for. What do all of these people do? I'm genuinely curious.

I did what you do until one of the accounts I had with a "shared" password actually got compromised, and then I switched to generating unique passwords for every site. I actually have to think less about passwords now: instead of trying 1-3

I don't think the issue is the cost to the patient, but rather that in a private payer system, it becomes profitable to keep patients alive for as long as possible. In a public payment system, you could crassly say that keeping patients ali

It can be a rational or irrational choice depending on the available treatment and the specific case. A blanket statement that says "do not resuscitate" ignores cases where resuscitation could have been successful and where the chance of re

Interesting. I found myself responding to the article in much the same way as you. Also Swedish. The question is: are we being rational or deluded? I have friends who are medical professionals and I don't recognize them in this either: I hi

I'd say the data backs my statement with the exception of Norway, but yes, especially high in Sweden and Finland.

The same is true in every major scandinavian country. I think it's a case of several factors conspiring: 1. There are more swedes in scandinavia than there are any other nationality. 2. Young people move to the cities to find work. 3. Youth

Triviality is supposed to be a test case for the validity of a patent. I think you can make a reasonable argument that if the first few users of a technology all independently invent a technique, that technique should be considered trivial

It's especially outrageous since Carmack came up with the technique independently of Creative. If it doesn't show that this is a fundamentally trivial patent that should be thrown out, when pretty much the second person to even look at usin

I don't see how that is any different from the current situation. Surely everyone who has run for office and seen even the slightest level of success in the US in the last century have been independently wealthy before-hand?

Presumably, anyone friendly to the alternative DNS effort (ie. anyone running a .bit-capable DNS) would serve the p2p .bit domains over the ICANN domain that case. Although it would certainly be interesting.

Another thought: It would be huge if Firefox and Chrome both supported .bit out of the box. I don't know how possible that is without shipping namecoin clients in the browsers, but it seems like it shouldn't be impossible to have some sort

by krig 15y ago
Yes, I misread you, sorry about that. I don't know much about namecoin or how it works in detail, but from what I can tell it is still being designed in large part. At the moment there seems to be only a single central registrar which is an

If there starts to be a lot of content located at .bit domains, if all the major browsers become peers, or if the process of getting a domain becomes very easy.. if any of those things happen, I could see the situation change. Look, I don't

I think the key lesson from history is that there are a number of factors that have to align for a paradigm shift to take place, but that from time to time they do happen. There are tons of examples from history of things that people though

The question is how they would do that, technically, since the system is distributed. They could of course force you to give up your domain physically, by seizing your server. As a non-US citizen, my primary concern is relying on nameserver

I'd love to register a .bit domain just as an experiment/for fun, but I'm a bit wary of the methods for obtaining bitcoins that I've found.. anyone have a good tip for an exchange, or experience with obtaining bitcoins/registering a .bit do

Honestly. If you stop listening because someone said a word you find distasteful, who is being lazy? There's a point in your second sentence, but even that is a problematic statement. It's a very conformist attitude. Everyone generally wear

I looked at using BSON in a project a while back, and ended up scrapping it mainly due to perceived poor code quality. Plenty of potential errors ignored, unclear error messages, unsafe practices. I was also turned off by the sloppy use of

It seemed appropriate to post this today. Did this while learning lisp about two years ago. Nothing special, a pretty straight forward implementation of the original LISP paper written while reading the paper, basically. It's difficult to d
