Only Internet Explorer 6+ and FireFox are currently supported. You should download Firefox or use Internet Explorer to properly use the Flipbook viewer. So us Opera users are left in the cold, without public domain books to read? Fine. *searches for porn*
To crank up the bit generation rate to something usable for a server accessible on the Internet, we need a radiation source more intense than background radiation. Rummaging around in the well-endowed Fourmilab junk box turned up a 60 microcurie Jordan Nuclear Krypton-85 (85Kr) source capsule, model BB-0005.
Two obvious ways are for the Feds to find and exploit their own operating system backdoors, or to compromise security vendors... There are other ways: -Social engineering (either against the person, or his mother) -Breaking into the basement^W house and installing the damn thing -Hiding it in porn
We don't need newer methods for concurrency control. The actor model and CSP work just fine. CSP has been implemented in a handfull of languages, including Limbo. The actor model also has been implemented in a bunch of languages, including Erlang which has been used to build the massively concurrent British telecommunications system.
Concurrency is a problem that was solved decades ago.
You're joking, right? The filename means nothing. Comparing two images is relatively easy, even if you were to add random noise to the image or mess with the colors.
The most effective (surprisingly) were form fields hidden with CSS so the users don't enter data in to them, but bots will. You can reject the entire post at that point. It's not universally effective (some bots will actually look at your CSS to determine if you're doing this) but it sure cuts down on a lot of bogus posts. Another method is to generate a form key of some kind, and use that to verify that the form is only good once. this slows spammers down because in order to post again and again, they have to reload the page in order to get a new key. many don't do this, and will attempt to use the same key over and over. if you use a few of these methods, and track repeat offenders, you can add them to your firewall rules so they can't even load the page. Of course, most serious spammers will use hundreds of IPs, so it's difficult to get them all. All of these seem like they'd only work against random spammers -- bots trolling for forums and what have you. But if a spammer was targeting you, like they targeted Hotmail, these methods would be useless.
2) File versioning - you could "bring back" previous copies of any file in the system simply by specifying its revision NN times back. EG: "edit myfile.txt" could be replaced with "edit myfile.txt:1" to see the previous edition. This was simply awesome and I've not seen this elsewhere. Plan 9 has had it in various implementations for a very long time, the most recent being Venti coupled with Fossil.

Screw the Boy Scouts! No one needs to know how to tie a frickin' knot, nor do we need to know how to build a stupid soap box car.
Lets create the Urban Scouts, where children will learn how to pick locks, phone phreak, hack computers, and social engineer.
My answer is simply that even ignoring the people who don't work, it is still a better deal for you if you have socialised health care. No, it's not. If the socialized care is inadequate -- and it will be (see other countries systems) -- to get decent care you'll have to go private, paying it out of your own pocket. This means you end up paying double: Once by the increase in taxes, and the second when you go private.
In other words, the only people who are helped by socialized care are the poor, who already have government provided health insurance. Middle class and upper class are hurt.
Free market economies work best when prices are elastic; that is, where changes in price affect the demand for the product. This allows price to signal the level of available supply and prevent shortages of goods. The problem with healthcare is that it is not elastic. If I have cancer, a broken leg or some other ailment I have to get it fixed - regardless of the cost.
In a profit making company, this means raising the price indefinitely sees no reduction in demand. This leads to an ever increasing cost that outstrips inflation. The American system compounds this because a lot of white-collar workers get insurance plans from their companies. Companies have deeper pockets than an individual ever could so the prices increase still further! If this was true, anyone could start a hospital that offers the same quality at lower prices and get huge business. By your logic, food prices should be out of control, but they're not.
In other words, the free market handles it just fine.
Socialised health care delivers better value for money because of the enormous purchasing power of the government. You think this is good? The U.S. defense system is gouged by pretty much every defense contractor out there. This happens anytime government money is involved. This means run away government spending.
It pays to insure that the daughter of a crack-addict prostitute get first class health care and education - if only to increase their chances of escaping the poverty trap and contribute more to the economy. Yeah, and it'd pay to legalize drugs and prostitution, but it's not going to happen. Furthermore, putting more citizens on the governments teet, eliminating the need for them to take care of themselves, to take resposbility for their actions, will hurt a country in the long run.
Socialised health care is not evil communism, it is a practical solution to the health care of your nation. No, it's not.
I don't see anybody complaining about the socialised road, garabage collection, fire, police and military. I am.
When you trust the security of your nation to the government, why do you not trust your healthcare to them too? Because the people best to defend a government is the government. The people best to entrust with my health is myself. Removing choice from the equation is ludacris.
*try not to be subjective, mmkay? And MS BOB seriously doesn't count. Try something from this decade. Anything from this decade is fair. By todays standards, everyone's software was crappy in the 90's. I completely agree with what you said... But, there was something that completely sucked from this decade: Windows Me.
You can also peck at some of the lesser-used software, like Windows Movie Maker. But, by in large, the system is solid.
You're completely wrong about health care. Reason magazine gives a good summary why the government shouldn't be involved with health care. Further, Dr. Paul certainly knows much more about the health care system than you or I.
You know geeks could be a powerful voting block, if they could organize and officially support a single candidate. Impossible. Have you ever seen an IRC flamewar? Imagine that, but magnified.
The quality of video games has been increasing? Since when? It's nothing but boring sequel after boring sequel, and lame franchise-pushing game after lame franchise-pushing game.

They're going to be laying down a lot of new tubes.
I don't buy it. This is the FBI. These guys can barely tie their own shoelaces but you think they can hack computers? I laugh.

Did anyone ever say nicotine was bad for you? They (which is a weasel word) have said smoking is, but I don't believe nicotine.

Kids, kids: You're both wrong! Clinton saw the movie and liked it so much, he decided to emulate it.
Read his autobiography!
People are going to flock to these, even if they're on top of the a remote mountain, so why put them in a good area?
