Some people just LLLLLOOOOOVVVVVEEE telling other people what they can and cannot do.

School marm fetish?

doubt this will happen. The data protection act is pretty robust here.

no ice america.

add water to taste.

liability insurance is ruining the world!

Great idea! As a bench scientist id be happy supervising a kid doing this kind of stuff, never thought about it at all.

"the last thing a person who wishes to "get something done" should do is run for office. I would argue that lobbying and activism from outside the system will get more done."

what a ridiculous statement. Politicians must just laugh at protests cos ultimately they get to do whatever they want. The parliament is meant to be a representation of the people, but all we as a mass do is elect those horribly squeaky clean know-it-all's from the law faculty and debating club to rule us. Get involved - its not a closed shop.

Wine already comes in boxes. It is stigmatised for some reason by vine snobs, but its all i buy for above reasons.

ive been looking for this kind of stuff for ages. If only someone would send me an unsolicited email offering to sell me some. Anyone...?

21 brillzo street.

Jesus, is there really that much money to be made cracking this stuff?

Why not think of it the other way around: set up a catchpa that involves fermats last theorem and quantum mechanics or something, and have the worlds penis enlargement industry solve it for us.

references dcboland?

So American law extends out into space now? Have the extra terrestrial races been informed of this new political development?

Why should they get to protect their imaginary property? Whenever technology has made actual real life people obsolete, after a bit of luddite grumbling, everyone got on with progress. Losing their jobs in the process as those peoples voices didnt count.

Now technology has made a highly profitable industry obselete, and just look at them scream. Pulling every trick in the book to have the law changed in their favour.

Well too bad, you are surplus to requirements.

How do these people deserve this? By virtue of being a descendant of someone creative? What rubbish; make it public domain NOW

Jesse Owen for Gold!

I wish people would stop listening to this idiot kurzweil. Squidgy matter is much more complex than you could ever imagine ray.

Absolutely brilliant idea! the sort of theing the internet is brilliant for!

i give it 3 weeks before its shut down.

where can you get those cc stickers?

People who buy restricted books and music are silly.

You could just blog about it until apple give you a new one?

Its just daydreaming for sci-fi fans who have never carried out a real life scientific experiment. Because those who have, would never make such rediculous predictions when you know how crazy squidgy matter can be, and how little we actually know.

Stop listening to Ray! He's an idiot!

Yes yes yes, anyone who has worked ina call centre will tell you this.

They stats they get are not an indication of anything that goes on in the real world. You have a team leader, whos only incentive is to moan at you if you log on 3 mins late, or if your on a call TOO long, you know, helping people out and that. The end results is you think, who cares? And dont bother to do your job properly.

i this what he is saying is that you cant stop progress with fear, because that fear is usually unfounded.

Anyone can imagine millions of different outcomes for genetic research, but how many would actually come true? Look around you, nature has been playing about with this stuff for millions of years and we are all still alive.

ray kurzweil is an idiot.

This guy isnt.

end of transmission.

Herc has just lost any suction he gained from driving the mayor around with this incident.

So erm, what can be done about this?

hh. dts.

How much money do they need? They dont even pay any tax since they moved their operation to holland. Th epoor starving childeren of eire eh?

References or STFU.

Whats the obsession with glia? Their true function is only just emerging and hardly required in a flash guide for non-scientists.

stw

ive never understood this loudness war. if a track doesnt have compression on it, it instantly sounds unprofessional weak and lame! theres no going back now.

Kind of died with the ad-supported version for me and pushed me to ie. still in use on loads of university catalogue terminals in the uk.

how yamaha got away with ripping off the build-it-yourself and open-source monome ive no idea.

And ive still no idea how it works!

I always though PBS was donations for some reason.

The BBC have lost the plot.

When clicking on a link to youtube entitled "delia derbyshire speaks here" i get presented with the message:

"This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by The BBC"

Now, they say they can open the archive because of the rightsholders but wikipedia confirmed what i already knew that she dids in 2001. So who exactly is tying the bbc's hands over the archive and why are they going after clips that in effect by grandparents paid for?

The US might not have a publicly funded TV network, nbut at least what they do build that comes from the taxpayer gets given not just to Americans but the world (Internet, GPS).

Why are paying for through taxes what is now obviously a commercial enterprise? I used to support the bbc to the hilt, but now i couldnt care less.
