Are you referring to the in the US? If that's the case I think Universities are starting to do that type of thing and it may filter into high schools in the next couple of years.

Last I heard these were still issues. Do you have a source about what Google has done because I'm rather interested to know more.

Google blacking out risks appearing as a threat, which would be viewed very poorly by many people. It would be similar to a major oil company deciding to stop drilling for oil unless they got some subsidies passed.

How about, taking down domains to prevent terrorism would be like removing street signs to prevent car bombings.

I agree, with you this post titled "B&N has a Legal Obligation to release full source code" is very adversarial. It sounds like he might want to sue B&N and them might believe he is committing libel. There is no reason why they

Theoretically YouTube could kick them form their automatic filtering program for a period of time or put some other requirement on their continued use of it.

Excellent points, I could see a big benifit of these types of algorithms for people that don't have established credit scores. If as a bank seeing that a high school graduate knows many of my good customers, this would make me more willing

Social graphs can show these things. For example you deadbeat cousin who is a black sheep in the family probably has a very different circle of friends outside of your family than you or most of your family does. As such he could be ident

It's because lawyers understand how very, very, very bad things can get when you put people without an intimate understanding of the functioning of the law in-charge of overseeing it. Using lawyers is just very bad.

The lack of seriousness on the site greatly compromises the value of the data. As a captcha they they ask you enter the entire text of the USA Constitution, and give a mailing address in Antarctica. There is no evidence that large porti

For regular patents you are correct about prior art. But for design patents it is different, a design patents is closer to a trademark, where what matter is how it is currently being used to identify a product not who first thought of the

I disagree that selling to professors is a bad idea. Personally, I suspect it is the only way to enter the market. Now I doubt that if a University approches you and asks to buy your product that you'd turn them down, but that will not ha

Well then we are we flying at all? I could just say, "kids it is safer to not go on vacation this year so we are going to stay at home in these nice padded rooms I built."

A more interesting question would be how do you evaluate how much you get to write off you taxes? Adobe is donating presumably because they believe the current value of it is low, but just as easily they could argue that as a mature platfo

Just make lots of short bills instead, or make a sort bill granting vast regulatory authority to another group. Congressmen are clever and they will get around arbitrary restrictions like that.

That is irrelevant as the average NYT reader is not the target of this ad. This ad is a letter to the people listed in the first line, delivered to them via the NYT. Unlike a letter which will be handled by an intern this letter will be r

By civil rights you refer to the right to prohibit anyone from taking a single pictures of your house from public property? Personally, I'd rather have the right to not be interrupted by people asking for money during dinner.

The collection of data was a result of Google storing the whole packet which was broadcast unencrypted for anyone to see. To me this is similar to not installing curtains in your house and then getting upset about people taking naked pictu

Personally I see this as being much less invasive then taking pictures of someone's house and posting the location of the picture. Which is pretty much Google Street View, are you opposed Street View as well?

That has to mac address cloning where, the router clones a computer's Mac address; then that computer is given to someone else who connects it to the network.

That crazy cost is part of why I've been thinking we should have some equiviliant of a public defender for civil matters. The idea is the plaintiff would have to pay for the defendant's lawyer up to the cost he is paying for his lawyer, bu

>So what? The same could be said about Muammar Gaddafi. Hopefully, you can see how Muamar Gaddafi and Steve Jobs differ. Gaddafi's death was a relief, Jobs was a loss, that should have been implicit, in his argument.

And if you were using paper Alice could photocopy the document and hand it Bob. The answer to this problem is Alice needs to know who this information can and cannot be shared with. If she isn't capable of that these permissions won't hel

I doubt it. It's probably that the software is looking at the map from last week, and the weeks before instead the person deciding that finding the map from last week is too much of a pain in the ass. Not to mention having to coordinate w

That is still a significant burden to implement especially for a small business that is not tech related. Sure it's a benefit for the people who will sell the service but you could make the same argument about mandating all websites displa
