Why not a brainscan?
It would show that Android user are afraid of the dark and had a childhood marred by authoritarian parents, which makes them prone to vote conservative, own guns, protest income taxes, listen to speeches of Michelle Bachmann or doubt the amerricanosity of Obama.
They should all be re-educated in fresh, new white buildings built in the beautiful green fields of Montana.
Or...
You need to pull state power to your side.
As in "Intellectual Property" (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
What are you, 12 years old?
What is the point you are trying to make?
Except you are yet another person who has trouble distinguishing the real from the rest.
And animals calling police? What??
"Hello I'm here in a meatshop and I have problems! Big problems!"
Big biz *doesn't* love patents?
Who then?
Attorneys, yes, sure. Politicians like to push them as that brings in envelopes. But otherwise?
The mythical Dyson-like inventor in his garage? Enough of that blue-eyed fairy tale already.
I can't think of anybody.
Or is the meaning here that Florian Müller defending patents for Big Biz?
Comet e-Lenin?
Well, there's a Red Alert!

Finally!
A sign of deflation. Praise be!
Wait, what's that rustling sound? Did I wake up the money-printing dogs? DID I USHER IN THE GREEN APOCALYPSE?
And what if...
....someone "stole" a picture and no-one looked at it?
...what if it wasn't republished??
...what if no-one noticed??
...what if it was exactly the same picture, but restaged???
The BBC should really get with the IP program as long as it's there and make its own images or source them appropriately or even better CC its own stock, but seriously, all this "these photons are all mine" crap is just another form of corporate subsidy. "Hidden agendas". As if!
Posted in Shuttered SETI reboots ET pursuit
This is what I was talking about
http://battleland.blogs.time.com/2011/07/19/an-eye-opening-peek-at-the-pentagons-weird-budget-math/
Alan Apple, as we all know, invented the Apple Computer!
"Both devices have rounded corners and feature a flat surface centred within, and surrounded by, a metallic frame. When switched on, the text continues, both devices present an array of icons as shown in the image."
Both are also "Universal Apple Machines" as described by Mr. Apple in his groundbreaking paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Appleication to the iScheidungsproblem".
Clearly, there is IP to protect.
Posted in Shuttered SETI reboots ET pursuit
What?
"But with the budget of the US Department of Defense currently a prime target of ongoing budget battles"
Just what.
This is a problem?
"The bigger problem is that Android is blatantly a copycat, but didn't need to be."
But so what?
If you insist on building your own application silo every time, you may well get nowhere. This is why the "IBM PC" exists.
Worshipping old Alchemy, I see.
Luckily these days we have paging.
And equating the clubfooted, useless 8086 segmentation with a "real computer"? Really, now.
What do we expect?
Well, tablets that are at least as well designed as the iPad of course.
This looks like a pile-up of several concerns...
1) A Virtual Machine with its own bytecode (not bitcode) instruction set (One would have hoped the 'compiled code' would just be the parse tree result, which gives you lots of flexibility, but noo...)
2) A sandboxing implementation
3) A way of porting of "native code" between machines (Why?! People compiling to native should get what they deserve - either high performance or utter irrelevance.)
4) All of the above packed into a "browser"
Sounds like extreme complexity about to give people bad hair days.
Didn't work for AIPAC?
Prison for you!
Lucas!
How about
"You haven’t seen Star Wars until you haven't seen it on Blu-ray."?

There is a laws forbidding the sale of PCs out?
Posted in DARPA drops another HTV-2
Whose?
Clearly, the unexpected and probably terrorist entity in our flight path, of course!
Posted in Joe Public invited to hunt God particle
If they don't find it
It will be the "dog particle"
Weird stuff
"He witnessed an advanced man-in-the-middle attack operating on both CDMA and UMTS networks and masterminded by an amalgam of Anon and Lulz."
I don't know why but this sentence caused dissociative disorder in my brain.
Posted in Joe Public invited to hunt God particle
Ruh-Roh!
So what are they actually doing that can be separated-out in portions manageable by non-communicating classical computers? Statistics?
AFAIK, computing anything quantum on classical machines needs very tight coupling between the nodes.
Posted in New DVD discs claim 1,000 year life
Yeah!
Sounds good though one has await until confirmation comes in that the marketing chicken has indeed managed to cross the reality road.
"Does anyone have a punch card reader...?"
No, but I'm sure one an A-Team could wire one up over the weekend, with pure optical lecture and all. In the future, I would expect that to pull a physical image of the 2000-year-old disk you found behind the plaster wall into memory at 1nm³ voxel size should be possible with your handheld tricorder.
And then it turns it it contains porn.

A DA who decides that enough is enough?
Praise Be!
Now I want to know how many taxpayer $$$ have been blown on this Apple Ego Trip.
Conspiracy much?
"So Google sponsors front groups, think tanks, academic's legal departments, all waging the fight against copyright and patents."
Oh noes! Koch-brother-style astroturfing! What if they convince us? WHAT IF THEY ARE RIGHT!
"Why don't you give your book away for free?"
Wrong question.
The correct one is: what will keep me from grabbing your book for free?
What will keep me from doing that is: 1) Can buy at amazon in two clicks 2) If I'm interested I consider shelling out the correct thing to do.
Not 2) is not your market anyway.
State-Guaranteed IP protection stopping me from doing so? Not so much.

Not getting anything done here, do we?
"The first problem is that key distribution doesn't always work, so the team found users frequently get cut out and have to ask the rest of the group to switch off encryption for the duration of the operation."
Reminds me of Generation Kill where the guys in Humvees don't have the keys for the Cavalry Division's Choppers and so cannot either find out what they are doing dropping bombs just in front of them or massacring civvies. Can't remember which. Upon which general gallic shrugging ensues.
Open-sourced RSA solutions?
That's for smart people.
Posted in Who'd buy a fake battery?
How weird
"Where IP isn't effectively policed, the business soon falls into the hands of the (real) mafia."
As opposed to the other (real) mafia of the IP-enforcing government?
Look, are there any real problems that might need solving? Who buys fake Vodka or fake pharmaceuticals? Well, the latter case I understand what with our IP-enforcers and legislators keeping stuff expensive or off-market if not hidden behind an MD-paywall.
"55 per cent of respondents found a link between IP crime and benefit fraud"
What's that then? Distillers applying for stimulus money?
I don't tink so.
"Just being slightly more capable means you can destroy the enemy every time, no matter what."
Only in Hollywood and neocon tech-jock talking circles.
eBay will be POSITIVELY AWASH in electronic gadgets
Maybe there will also be people trying to print money on liberated colour printers?
Guess the "mainstream" economists cannot say anything against THAT.
You couldn't pay for it on the Unix
1) Expensive hardware
2) Expensive OS (Minix doesn't count)
3) Expensive GUI (shell out extra for the Motif Widget set an a C compiler? Sure)
4) Expensive Applications ("get a quote from our salesdroid by call 1-800-military-industrial-only")
5) There was no O'Reilly or amazon and a rare Internet Access Point so... no docs!
Lock in? Hell yeah.
Hah!
1) Dox them to the Defense League
2) Buy Popcorn
3) ???
4) When worlds collide.
But couldn't care less for Tea Partiers, but...
"against waste and taxes but stand for NOTHING"
I think if people stood less for something, this would be a far better world.
You know that!
1) It is illegal in Iowa to dismember a corpse in order to hide a crime.
2) With Caylee's Law (i.e. the anti-Casey-Anthony law), it will be illegal to NOT call police if you haven't seen your brat for 48h and he/she turns up dead afterwards.
It's like a series of Monty Python's Flying Circus, only more real.
It's a steak out!
With fries.
And what's with the US and their perpetual putting down of ANY entrepreneurial free-market activity?
Then Obama goes out and say His Country will always be AAA.
Like hell it will. Can't even get service.
Posted in Videogames caused riots says plod
Now I want an explanation for...
...the LA riots back in '90.
It was probably too many episodes of "Miami Vice".
So say we all
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
Wasn't that "Captain Swing"?
Or maybe General Ludd.
"Resentful and rebellious, especially against authority."
Welcome to Generation Entitled.
Same as Greece, I reckon.
Keep your blunderbuss loaded!
The legalese dump is fine
But I still need more information on this redirect thing. How does it work exactly? What's the relationship between the addy pushers and the ISPs? What's that browser bar search thing?
Posted in IBM yanks chain on 'Blue Waters' super
Title goes here
"During the Great Recession, both companies were losing money"
I like how this somehow implies that the "Great Recession" is in the past, instead moving from worse to worserest.
If it's too expensive, and the future is uncertain, to stop it is the correct decision. One can come back later, when it is again within technological and economic reach. The building can be used to store mugs and beer kegs.
Keynesians looking for spending targets may disagree, but then again, they would smash the finished machine to bits just to have good reason to buy another one.
Teleporting in more creeps, this place isn't crazy enough!
When did the whole Interweb transform into a real-life version of Black Mesa Research Facilities?
Madness.
I'm off to check out blog site.
Didn't we hack lots of hardware around the Y2K cliffs like that?
Yes, yes we did!
Posted in Apple sued over Mac OS X 'quick boot'
Then the only question is...
...why are you for patent protection?
It's retarded stuff for a retarded jury talking about #angels on pins.
Anyone who has ever done anything more than hacking 5-liners KNOWS that there quite possibly might be an "Intellectual Property" attorney in some office somewhere in the world who might well have your name on a cease-and-desist letter in a not-too-distant future.
But you have to ignore that and hope like hell there isn't any.
Yes, this is the state of the business landscape.
If Google needs a license and didn't pay it - FINE!
But this patent stuff should just lead to public burnings of the naked, mutilated bodies of the legal professional involved as well as the CEOs, CIOs, CTOs pushing that kind of crap.
He thinks he can troll!

Pathetic attempt at trolling is pathetic.
Bizarre statements found in the morning.
"Right now the amount of money that Google and Facebook are making is tiny, in the big picture, but it is increasing and the operators are about to spend billions building next-generation networks so that Google and Facebook can make more money faster."
This is like complaining that poor, poor Dell is forced to build PC in a sweatshop so that Microsoft can then rake in all the cash.
Network operators build networks so that people can buy network services.
Google and Facebook build ... whatever ... so that advertisers buy advertisement services.
If network operator want to sell advertisement services they are not network operators. They are Google. Or Facebook.
At least some people like it

"Gnome is moving in the same direction as the industry and that is fine by me."
All aboard the train to hell.
Must be the same one where there are lots of "mainstream/gummint economists" in the 1st class wagons.
