Re: Reg still allowing childish abusive words.
The official term is "Paytards". Used mostly on people who buy ... errr license.. the same song over and over again on different media.
"Oh no they have patents I need, woe me. They have to license FRANDly!!11!"
You want the patent system, so you gotta suck it up I reckon.

"Centre for American Progress"
They are progressives, which means anything goes as long as it feels "social" and "good" and "anti-capitalist". This includes retconning Obama's shitty and amoral decisions into honest errors or into never having happened at all. Same level as repubs, only different.
So it's like those "Iranian nuke soon" stories in the WaPo pushed by vested interests.
But now we still don't know whether QDOS was ripped off CP/M and by how much.
Just the numbers please, using the standard "diff".
This!
For sure somebody is pulling random numbers out of their nethermost region. Stuff certainly not accounted for: IT people at random companies being let go, datacenter consultancies hiring, money meant for capital construction being hoovered by taxes and dumped into this infrastructure instead (which may or may not be actually used)
It's like babby running Conway's game-of-life, randomly flipping a few cells in a corner then declaring that in a few minutes 6'600 additional cells will be "on" than if he hadn't done anything. Sweet make-believe to win brownie points with the masses.

Re: Use of waste heat?
Yes, this is being done. Look for "data center waste heat reclamation", e.g.

Yeah, unless you CREATE MATTER FROM PURE ENERGY via FUTURISTIC, ALTERNATE REALITY LONDON technology (possibly linked to EXTREME ELECTRO-STEAMPUNK) in the LOWEST BASEMENT with CACKLING FUZZY-HAIRED PROFS from QinetiQ looking at ominously glowing screens in the SEALED and G4S-PATROLLED control centre, all of your JOULE (aka WATT x SECOND) pumped in are DOWNCONVERTED into DISORDERED KINETIC ENERGY, i.e. HEAT.
How is that going to create 6'600 jobs? Why not -112?
I'm sure they did not take into account negative jobs created via govnmt splurge on the Olympics boondoggle.
I'm so tired of the "we are job creation" B.S.

"Prior Art Finder trawls through data in search for replication"
It's not "replication". It's good, honest work, unfortunately your stuff is already "owned" by somebody else courtesy of the guns and badges of state. Like putting out a contract on your arse before you were even born.

> the so-called Duqu Framework was developed using plain old Object-Oriented C
Well, "plain old Object-Oriented C" does not really exist because it's not a common way of doing things, is it?
The last I heard was the Duqu framework was written in something extremely similar to SOOC and that SOOC was open-sourced after parties unknown (*cough*) developed Duqu. I don't know whether anyone followed up on this bizarre reverse causality. Maybe someone did and has "fallen off a balcony" or something.
Re: Hang on, I've read Digital Fortress!
I suppose the virus payloads have to be deposed in the pattern of a REGULAR PENTAGRAM around the AXIS OF EVIL, which currently (as per decree of our WISE OVERLORDS including BLACK POTUS, runs through TEHRAN with LEY LINES into DAMASCUS and possibly BEIJING) upon which the STARS WILL BE RIGHT and the simultaneous opening of the CRYPTO PAYLOAD will cause a STRANGE AEONS EVENT ushering in WORLD DOMINATION of the BLUE FORCES allied with the nethermost kraken of DREAMS.

Really, BLACK POTUS and THE MADAME couldn't hope for a better ally. After all, this is the presidency that "cracks down hard" (to use the usual beloved quasi-nazi term) on whistleblowers and leakers unless the leaks have not been approved beforehand and released with strategic timing.

Yeah but
IBM Zürich actually CAN DO pretty fundamental research and has a tradition doing so.
Others will do less fundamental research but still come up with good stuff: better packaging, cheaper production, better and cheaper distribution, optimized user interfaces, better signal processing, a tweaking of the physical layer and possibly even novel ways to sell stuff. All of which are important. Sometimes however, perversion reigns and "innovators" start researching rounded corners...

Taxfeeders in revolt!
> John Mann, an MP and member of the Treasury Select Committee, suggested the advertising giant explains itself for its "entirely improper and immoral" behaviour.
I wonder in what bizarre world tax burden reduction is "entirely improper and immoral". Must be the same world in which it is considered proper and just to destroy economies wholesale by money printing, bailouts and crony-capitalist deals, as well as by entirely unecessary "warfare industrial policy" in which sandpeople are routinely grilled to a crisp in order to justify shifting a few billion of taxpayer money. Seized in a fully moral way, of course.
In short, as a member of the public you better pass through the plausible deniability ritual formerly used by court jesters lest they be shifted to an oubliette.

Termites fulfill an important role in the ecosystem!
Patent trolls, however, do not fulfill any role in the economic system except one similar to a tax collector or protection money extractor.
And what do universities think they are doing allying with the cancer?

Re: Nice idea but...
> convict Assange
I don't think the word "convict" means what you think it means.
I don't care about Assange's private life nor whether sex is too dangerous to attempt in Sweden but I do care about asshattery, whoring for the cretins nominally in charge of "civil society" and people crying "rape" when unconvenient documents appear (variously described as "endangering people" and "of no real importance"), while real cases of criminality are left conveniently undisturbed because they are committed by, say, POTUS or Madame Hillary.
Oh yeah, google

Shouldn't they be doing the things that are labeled "rape" in Sweden?

Re: FUD
I think digital watches were accused of being channels of mind control due to the "crystal" inside and/or of sapping your "life energy" (probably causing your ectoplasm to dry out or something).
Permafailure and suppercorrupt Goldman Sachs has "secret scientific material" that is its "secret sauce".
That must be the sauce that comes from fapping hard and long.
I wonder whether anything looked into whether the DA is currently upgrading his mansion with revenues unknown? He seems to be into "lawfare" so beloved by various pressure groups.
Go home Bohmians!
> "“state” information in entangled quanta propagates faster than the speed of light."
"State information" does not propagate - and neither does it go back wards in time. If I win in the lottery, there is nothing that propagates to the lottery tickets of the other players making them instantly worthless. The whole lottery ticket system just needs to be considered as a single system. Sure, QM has the added benefit of the complex-valued probability density function which allows you to do MORE MAGIC and is somehow MORE EPISTEMOLOGICALLY REAL than the real-valued probability density functions of classical probability calculus, which after all just express SUBJECTIVE UNCERTAINTY whereas here we have OBJECTIVE UNCERTAINTY buy COMPLEX-VALUED AND INTERFERING and the lottery numbers such as they are are not actually real in any classical sense UNTIL YOU RENDER THE INFORMATION CLASSICAL BY LOOKING AT THE TICKET!
WHAT DID YOU JUST DO, THE CAT DIED ON ITS ARSE IN THE BOX! OMG!
Yeah, but where do the problems lie _exactly_?
I can imagine that subtly different behaviour in libraries, tricky multithreading dependencies and API ambiguities in programs that "used to work" (but were actually buggy) will cause trouble on upgrades.
Developers hope that they know what a library does, but they often don't. Ambiguities exist, complexity is high, edge cases are numerous and assertions are missing everywhere (I have seen people afraid to use assertions because "it might break the program at runtime"). This is not helped by unelegant APIs and the extreme complexity inherent in trying to make Bad Ideas Simple To Use. If you have ever seen someone faff around with JAXB .... it's not a pretty sight.
Upgrading the JVM could possibly be considered in the same league as upgrading the OS, the compiler and the runtime libraries all at the same time.
