Google's legal slides paint Oracle as a gold digger, Java as free and open software. Oracle's attorneys have made clear what the company is accusing Google of in its lawsuit over Android, but how is Mountain View planning to defend itself? We took a look through the slideshow presentation that accompanied Google's opening statement, and it paints quite a different picture than the one put forward by Larry Ellison's legal team. Google portrays Java as a language that is openly acknowledged to be free, upon which Google built Android using legitimate means. However, once Oracle's own mobile operating system ambitions fell through, Java became the crowbar that the company could use to pry open Google's wallet in the form of licensing negotiations — ones that ultimately failed. "Nobody owns the Java programming language. " "Well, if there were no APIs, we would only have a language. A critical turning point in Google's narrative timeline is the acquisition of Sun by Oracle.

Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, unveiled a new talk show on Tuesday with his own version of a sensational get: the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
That contrast — between one of America’s Most Serious Journalists and Assange — speaks volumes already about who is interested in actual journalism and who is not. Then we have this, a trite little point, impressed by its own cleverness, found at the center of almost all of these sneering pieces on Assange’s new program: Mr. Assange says the theme of his half-hour show on RT is “the world tomorrow.” But there is something almost atavistic about the outlet he chose. Let’s examine the unstated premises at work here. Then there’s the notion that there’s something hypocritical about Assange’s working for a government-owned media outlet because he “poses as a radical left-wing whistleblower and free-speech frondeur battling the superpowers that be.” Next we have this: the apex of revealing, reckless snideness: On his talk show Mr.
When Anderson Cooper began a syndicated talk show, his first guest was the grieving father of Amy Winehouse. Julian Assange's first guest on his new show: the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. That contrast speaks volumes already about who is interested. Mystery company backed by James Cameron and Google executives may be an asteroid mining project. MIT's Technology Review has just gotten news of a mysterious new project that claims it will "create a new industry and a new definition of 'natural resources.'" Space exploration company Planetary Resources will be unveiled in a conference call on Tuesday, April 24th.
Besides the audacious announcement, which promises to "overlay two critical sectors — space exploration and natural resources — to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP," what makes this unique is its high-profile support group. The venture is backed by Google executives Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, director James Cameron, and politician Ross Perot's son, among others. We're left to ponder, however, what Planetary Resources will actually do. Technology Review speculates that the project is an asteroid mining operation, reasoning that the other natural resources we need — an Earth-like habitat and supply of fossil fuels — aren't going to be found in space any time soon.

Anders Behring Breivik wants acquittal or death penalty. 18 April 2012Last updated at 12:35 ET Prosecutors say Breivik has invented the right-wing group to which he says he belongs Anders Behring Breivik has told his trial in Oslo he believes there can be only two "just" outcomes to his trial - acquittal or the death penalty. Breivik, who killed 77 people last July, said he considered a lengthy jail sentence "a pathetic punishment". Norway does not have the death penalty. He also said he had been "very surprised" to have survived the day of the attacks. Prosecutors have been quizzing him on his links with militant nationalists. On the third day of the trial they have been trying to disprove his claim of the existence of a far-right European network. 'Pathetic punishment' Under cross-examination, Breivik said: "There are only two just and fair outcomes of this trial - acquittal or capital punishment.
Asked if he wanted the court to give him the death penalty, he replied: "No, but I would have respected it.

If you love the idea of the ASUS Transformer Prime, but can’t quite justify throwing that much money at it, the ASUS Transformer Pad 300 is a slightly more affordable alternative that doesn’t disappoint in the specs department either. The Transformer Pad 300 is now available to pre-order on Amazon for $399.99, and will start shipping on April 22nd. Spec wise, the tablet is very similar to the Transformer Prime. You’re looking at a 10.1-inch screen with a 1280x800 resolution, 1.2Ghz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
You’ll also be getting the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. It’s not quite the svelte package that the Transformer Prime offered though, coming in a little thicker at 9.3mm as opposed to the Prime’s 8.3mm. ASUS has said previously that LTE and HSPA+ models of the Pad 300 also be available. UPDATE: The original story incorrectly listed the price as $489.99. [via PocketNow] Phencyclidine. First synthesized in 1926,[2] it was eventually patented in 1952 by the Parke-Davis pharmaceutical company and marketed under the brand name Sernyl. In chemical structure, PCP is an arylcyclohexylamine derivative, and, in pharmacology, it is a member of the family of dissociative anesthetics. PCP works primarily as an NMDA receptor antagonist, which blocks the activity of the NMDA receptor and, like most antiglutamatergic hallucinogens, is significantly more dangerous than other categories of hallucinogens.[3][4] Other NMDA receptor antagonists include ketamine, tiletamine, dextromethorphan and nitrous oxide.
As a recreational drug, PCP may be ingested, smoked, inhaled or injected.[5] Biochemistry and pharmacology[edit] Pharmacodynamics[edit] PCP is well known for its primary action on ionotropic glutamate receptors, such as the NMDA receptor in rats and in rat brain homogenate.[6][7] As such, PCP is an NMDA receptor antagonist. PCP may also work as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor.[14] R/Chrome survey results are in! : chrome. Scientists have created a simple new model of the human brain which reproduces the statistics of its complex network organization. : cogsci. Wiring the brain. Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a simple mathematical model of the brain which provides a remarkably complete statistical account of the complex web of connections between various brain regions. Their findings have been published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The brain shares a similar pattern of connections with other complex networks such as social networks and the world wide web.
However, until now, it was not known what rules were involved in the formation of the human brain network. Professor Ed Bullmore, lead author on the paper, explains the dynamic between the parameters they identified: “There is a huge amount of evidence that the wiring of brain networks tends to minimize connection costs. Less costly, short-distance connections are much more numerous than more costly, long-distance connections. “However, we found that cost control alone was not enough to reproduce a wide range of network properties. qLPgV.jpg (1292×280) Freedom fighter.

Submitted by x344543 on Wed, 03/23/2011 - 12:38pm Sandwich Chain Seeks to Suppress Educational Poster on the Risks of Eating Food Prepared by Sick Employees Jimmy John's Workers Union - Industrial Workers of the World Contacts: Micah Buckley-Farlee, 612-845-9290 Mike Wilkow, 612-807-6633 March 23, 2011 MINNEAPOLIS- In an effort to silence employees who have blown the whistle on serious food safety hazards at Jimmy John's, the company fired six workers yesterday for putting up posters demanding the right to call in sick and paid sick days in order to avoid exposing customers to infection.
Under current policy, Jimmy John's workers are disciplined for calling in sick if they cannot find a replacement, forcing many workers to make sandwiches while ill. In addition to the threat of discipline for calling in sick, many workers are unable to afford to take a day off if they are ill because wages at the sandwich chain hover around the federal minimum of $7.25 and the company offers no benefits.

If you want to understand why Americans love their country so, go to a baseball game : Foodforthought. If you want to understand why Americans love their country so, go to a baseball game. Baseball blends the American values of individualism and patriotism I went to my first ever baseball game on Friday night. I didn’t think I’d enjoy it. It seems too similar to cricket, a game so long and boring that it feels like training for life in a nursing home. But I was pleasantly surprised. Baseball’s a fast moving battle of nerves. When it comes down to three “balls” and two “strikes,” the guy at the bat has the world on his shoulders. My buddy explained to me how baseball is an analogy for The American Way. Then there’s the complex relationship between the individual and the team.
Another, more stark, reminder of that truth is the role that military pageantry plays at a baseball game. I have a rule on these occasions to stand but not sing or put my hand to my chest. In contrast, American patriotism is sharper and more certain – and more fixedly about ideas. Bsj3S.gif (393×221) When someone leaves a spam comment on a Google+ post. : googleplus. Fischer: 'Capitalism is Built on the Teaching of Jesus Himself' List of Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Description[edit] Though they all have very different forms and abilities, Angels are often depicted with several common elements, such as the projection of AT fields, an internal power source called S² engine the destruction of which is often the only way an Angel can be defeated.
Even though they are composed of an altogether different form of matter ("characterized by both particulate and wave properties, like light") the Angels' genetic code bears a 99.89% similarity to humans.[1] The first two Angels, Adam and Lilith, are the progenitors of the other sixteen.[2] While the first fifteen Angels are descendants of Adam, humans themselves descended from Lilith. Using the Biblical story of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Angels are described as having eaten the "Fruit of Life", giving them immortality.[3] At another point, it is stated that the Angels are merely different evolutionary paths that mankind could have taken.

Shinji is salvaged from Unit-01 and fitted with an explosive choker by WILLE, an organization formed to destroy NERV and its Evangelions, led by Misato Katsuragi and Ritsuko Akagi. He is given a physical examination, but otherwise treated coldly by almost everyone, including Asuka and Misato. Shinji demands an explanation, but before he can get it, more of SEELE's drones attack. WILLE manages to launch the flying battleship Wunder and destroy the drones. Fuyutsuki invites Shinji to play shogi with him and reveals that Shinji's mother, Yui Ayanami, is inside Unit-01 as the control system and Rei belongs to a series of her clones; the Rei which rescued him from the Wunder is only the latest clone and exhibits none of the personality traits of the original.
The revelation causes Shinji's mental breakdown. Shinji and Kaworu pilot Unit-13 into Terminal Dogma on their mission to use the Spears of Cassius and Longinus to undo Third Impact; Rei follows in Mark.09. Evangelion 3.33 Q: Autumn 2012 (Preview TV) Rebuild of Evangelion 3.33 Quickening / Trailer. Sanitization (classified information)
Sanitization is the process of removing sensitive information from a document or other medium, so that it may be distributed to a broader audience. When dealing with classified information, sanitization attempts to reduce the document's classification level, possibly yielding an unclassified document. Originally, the term sanitization was applied to printed documents; it has since been extended to apply to computer media and the problem of data remanence as well. Redaction generally refers to the editing or blacking out of text in a document, or to the result of such an effort. It is intended to allow the selective disclosure of information in a document while keeping other parts of the document secret.
In the context of government documents, redaction (also called sanitization) generally refers more specifically to the process of removing sensitive or classified information from a document prior to its publication, during declassification. In other cases, like the U.S. Rebuild of Evangelion. The film tetralogy utilizes newly available 3D CG animation and provides new scenes, settings, and characters, with a completely new conclusion in the fourth film. Another stated intention of the series is for it to be more accessible to non-fans than the original TV series and films were.[1][2] Titles[edit] Production[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Jump up ^ "Evangelion: New Cinema Edition".
