Well the transferring of a ticket from one vehicle to another is not (to my mind) particularly amoral. After all the space has been paid for. By forbidding transfers the council effectively get paid twice for the space when someone leaves e

I haven't seen a parking ticket machine that doesn't require you to input (and then prints on the ticket) the numerical portion of your car reg for some years in England.

... and the relentless quest for consumer data continues. It's a nice concept, one that has been hyped for a long time. But the trade-off is sharing/giving up even more personal data.

Physorg is tabloid nonsense. Why do people keep linking, upvoting this stuff?

"unless the cookie is strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user" Isn't this open to some interpretation? Seems like a pretty wide loop hole. Seems that this will allow a site to set/read it's own cookies no problem. Thir

I'm not talking about the issue of someone else selling her picture. Obviously that is not on. Maybe I missed this, but has her picture been sold by others? I though the issue was that various media organisations had published it on their o

I'm not arguing for or against copyright. I'm just saying that basing policy on what young people think/believe is not necessarily a good idea. Obviously as you grow up and learn more about the complexities and subtleties of a particular is

I'm not trying to make an argument that fits within or agrees with current legislation. I am making a purely logical argument - I'm sure for example there's stuff in twitters ToS that give them rights over whatever you post so that you coul

I'm talking generally here: the fact that youth don't care about copyright is not an argument against copyright. Young people believe all sorts of things and have all sorts of ideals. As they grow up they (hopefully) starts to see the bigge

Whether the youth give a shit about copyright - or indeed any other issue - is neither here nor there. Policy should most definitely not be drawn up in accordance with what the young give a shit about. That would be disastrous.

Sure. Selling it for cash I can understand the argument against that. But has anyone done that? And why would anyone pay given that it's available anyway? So you can make the argument that publishing the image forms part of a publisher's co

Legal definitions of "public domain" aside, if you're putting something onto twitter you presumably want it to be shared. Isn't that the point of twitter? If you do retain the copyright, does this mean that people have to pay for retweeting

Surely if you tweet an image you've taken you're putting it into the public domain? Aren't you consciously and knowingly injecting it out into the ether? You WANT it to be distributed - isn't that the whole point? <b>Edit:</b&#6

To be honest I can't remember. This was 10 - 12 years ago though so what was absurd then is probably pretty standard now. It was a heck of a lot quicker than the T1 line we had in the Physics dept back in London :)

Yeah. I was expecting multi-deca-gigabits at the very least.

I think the fastest connection I ever had was back in the day when I worked at CERN. They host(ed?) a European internet hub, so rates were pretty damn quick.

Agreed. I fancy though that he's imagining, or rather betting, the reliability of SSDs will improve. I bet that if his new purchase also fails after 12 months (or less) he'll be pretty pissed.

Sure, hence the "had" in the title. There's a lot of rumours swirling around that LHC may have a 115 Gev Higgs signal. I'm just reminding people that LEP also had a possible signal at this energy, which I think is exciting.

I'd be interested to know why I got DV'd for this, given that the top answer almost perfectly echoes this sentiment.

Because people that (just) write code aren't going to make money. A product is nothing, NOTHING, without sales. Mostly those sales are driven by people specifically tasked with that. How they make sales happen will be a combination of indus
