Eric, known as Equivalent Series Resistance in 30 circuits, is one of the most sinfully voluptuous people in the Open Sores community. For example, he's constantly sleeping while one unemployed Linus Torvalds on Ritalin does all sorts of sick, depraved shit to him like singing "Twinkle, Wrinkle, Shit and Arse" so fucking loud.
Open sores leave keloid scars
Deep down in the cornhole code
Leaving comments, little choad.

Linus Torvalds also suffers from premature ejaculation. One time, he experienced the Slashdot effect after accidentally talking to an attractive woman. Breaking into tears of joy, the greasy Kernhole developist exited the property house at once, emptying bottles of Fallschirmjäger after what neighbors called a "seizure". Linus later described his first sexual experience to Wired Nerd Shit International magazine like this: "She looked at me and it felt as if a torrent was downloading through my backbone and into my boot sector."
Petit mal, petit mort, même.

She will take a walk as soon as she can walk upright.
Muscle baby won't let go
Weekend baby won't say no
Is she an active beauty?
I should say so
Wooden bones and pretty lashes
Iodine for your baby's gashes
Little tombs for your baby's ashes
If something goes wrong
Tiny steps almost real
Tiny fingers you almost feel
Make her walk or make her kneel
Oh, she's almost human beneath that Cuban heel

No one will attack her because she can sing. She can sing and dance katas, but only virtually.
Written on and sent from the machine you see there.
Who's that down at the bottom of the garden?
Who's that hiding underneath the sofa?
Who gets blamed whenever you're in trouble?
She's your friend and she's your double
Who gets blamed whenever you're in trouble?
She's your friend and she's your double
Quote:
Make her walk or make her kneel
Oh, she's almost human beneath that Cuban heel
In seiza and on her knees
Wide awake, her mind at peace
Black-clad soldiers
Armored infantry police
Looked into her cold white LEDs.

Every unitary matrix is the evolution matrix of some quantum system evolving over some time. Or at least we think it is, because, as it turns out,
the vast majority of these possible evolutions can only be realized in a special type of physical system: A universal quantum computer.
They don't occur naturally because they require a complex computer program to bring them about.
This special type of object contains in itself:
Persistent analog memory of infinite capacity
baryonic circuitry exploiting for the first time ever
the new-found induction law for proton beams
and proton-antiproton streams
culminating in another dream: the first
Certified faster-than light
engine built in modern time
by human hand

Reason: Most of these sentences are No-jokes. Guess which ones. :-)
This is actually something I've felt a little conflicted about sometimes. I am firmly on both sides of this issue, because I am large and contain multitudes.
This second one is less about the open source aspect, and more about the ramifications of having hackable software inside your body in the first place:
Does anyone remember some thing some years back where some government agency released PDFs of redacted documents where it was just, like, a black rectangle over the censored portions, so you could select that area of text and read it? So functionally, the redacting served as them highlighting the good parts for you?
This is like that. Now even people who wouldn't have cared otherwise are going to be motivated to go read the portions you've highlighted that illustrate your incompetence.
Short version of the parts that hurt the PTO's feelings: So the ruling is, effectively, you can no longer just take some existing business process, append it with 'WITH A COMPUTER' and patent that. But they're still issuing patents for things like that as long as instead of saying 'WITH A COMPUTER,' it says something like, 'programmatically, using an electronic device,' if they're making any distinction at all. So basically, their patent examiners have no idea what they're doing, and do not actually understand what they're issuing patents for.
My farmer cousins all use high-tech John Deere equipment with AutoSteer™, etc. I know of other farmers who have deliberately not bought the technology, more out of not understanding it than because of the proprietary nature of the stuff.

I misparsed "auto-brothel" as some hack that would force cars to drive to participating brothels. Or detect and publicise when related activities are taking place in the back seat.
They sell things like this in home improvement stores and such. You think people who buy these devices are made sufficiently aware that the manufacturer can just decide at any time to shut down not just support for them, but their basic functionality? Do the guys at Home Depot inform them of this possibility (eventuality) before they ring up their purchases, you think?

You think news like this will persuade more people of the value of open source? Especially in the Land of the Free*?

Maybe some of the people involved aren't so bad:
Quote:
The closure of Revolv comes as parent company Nest faces its own problems. CEO Tony Fadell's leadership has come under criticism in recent months, with the company "plagued by a string of product problems, employee departures, and disorganization," former employees told Business Insider's Jillian D'Onfro.
Just days ago, news broke that two "key Nest veterans" are leaving, Re/code reported, the latest in a line of departures.
I don't know that they won't make the code open source, which is why I think it's only tangential to the topic. I mean, they might, but the main problem is that they're making 'smart' devices that are connected to the 'cloud' and selling them to people who don't know what either of those things entails.
This is a $300 hub that controls all kinds of systems in your home, they were manufacturing and selling them as of about a year and a half ago, and now they're giving their customers like a month or so to get all their shit together and redo all the stuff they set up in the first place as some means of simplifying their lives.
Eventually, I'm hoping that enough people get burned by this shit that it stops being profitable, at least.
You think news like this will persuade more people of the risks inherent in having someone else control your gadgets? cars? software in general? property in general?
but I didn't. Sometimes I think things faster than I type and can't be bothered to carry on typing to catch up with
Besides, I assume everyone here is Smrt™ and thinks the same things anyway.
At least after reading other posts and knowing what to think.
Cool stuff. But the article doesn't discuss, and I can't be bothered to research, why there aren't viable alternative tractor suppliers with more open policies. I'm guessing they have a monopoly built on other reasons.
That's pretty much the worst case scenario, but it's also pretty much inevitable.
Unless the FDA or someone implements protections to ensure lifelong support for implanted medical devices, this kind of thing will only get worse and more common.
And they'd better hurry, because Elon Musk is not shutting up about brain implants.

VR headsets have been the next exciting thing for about thirty years already. Every incarnation of them, so far, has turned out to be a disappointment.
3D cinema technology has come and gone several times over the last seventy years, and whatever happened to all the 3D televisions people were buying around 2010?
