I'll just sprinkle potassium permanganate on my corn flakes this morning.
Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. Wouldn't you prefer a strong reducing (=anti-oxidizing) agent instead? If so, try adding some lithium aluminium hydride, or sodium borohydride, or oxalic acid, or hydrazine to those cornflakes. Let us know how the "life extension" strategy works out.
The middle-aged beg to disagree, 'cos we're still going strong. My wife and I still fuck like rabbits once the kids are asleep (damn teenagers stay awake too late).
Here's what happens:
1) they take the money
2) they work hard for 3 months
3) the money runs out
4) their idea is worthless
5) they have no education
6) next 30 years they have no job
Great plan.
Then they sue the people who encouraged them to drop out. The up-front cash is hardly adequate compensation for the reduction in lifetime earnings for a university drop-out. Could be a moneymaker if you crash and burn badly enough...
If you refer to "The Cluster" from the Lexx SciFi series (under-appreciated in the US due to sequencing fuckups by SyFy channel), I fear you may be correct. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/His_Divine_Shadow
One thing I want to point out is that Lot didn't voluntary sleep with his daughters.. so him being a righteous man stands as a valid point in the ancient fairy tale collection.
"But I was drunk at the time!"
See how far that defence will get you in a courtroom on a charge of statutory rape (never mind incestuous statutory rape). An underage girl took advantage of your drunkenness? Take him away bailiff, he's getting decades in PMITA land.
Now if only my balls were safe.
I was Freedom Fondled last week. When were you? Remember, it's unpatriotic not to Opt Out!
And when you are standing in the Opt Out Line, make certain to introduce yourself and shake the hand of your fellow Opt Out patriots.
Hand shake? Why not offer to fondle their balls, and see what happens. Then mention how you got the black eye and/or bloody nose to the TSA officer as he prepares to fondle your nuts.
The funny thing is that if your password is showing up here, it's just as "strong" as the other ones that fell victim to this kind of attack!
Not exactly. It does not mean that all of the passwords were "as strong" as each other. It means that all of them were weak enough to be broken by an attack of this strength. Some of the better ones might not have been cracked by a less capable attack.
Take your pick, "unicorns" or "$r-P_5"?
It's clear that the 8 character lower-case "unicorns" could be broken by a simple dictionary attack (maybe 20-ish bits of entropy), while the 6 character "$r-P_5" obviously would not. The latter would need a brute force across 6 characters, mixed case + numeric + special, about 80^6 possibilities or 38 bits of entropy (and rainbow tables would probably not help much). Both are indeed a bit too short to be considered strong, but one is clearly much weaker than the other.
If your point was that length alone does not give strength to passwords, you're preaching to the choir.
Any laptop which doesn't have a nipple can't be compared to a Thinkpad. That single feature alone already puts thinkpads far and above their competitors.
We always referred to it as a "keyboard clit", implying much more fun for fingering than a mere "keyboard nipple".
We have the science of star trek, why not the science of the holy books?
Then we end up with "A proof that heaven is hotter than hell" (Applied Optics, II, A14, 1972) which uses data given quite explicitly in the Book of Isaiah and the Book of Revelations to show the temperature is about 444C in hell and at least 525C in heaven.
This was followed by "A refutation of the proof that heaven is hotter than hell" (J. Irreproducible Results, 25(4)17-18, 1979), which uses Leviticus and some assumptions on the pressure of the damned, modeled as a finite volume of ideal gas to increase the estimated the temperature of hell.
However, the latter utterly ignores the assertion in Isaiah that hell is expanding (rate unspecified), which undermines its entire argument. And so on. Attempting to build any scientific interpretation based on stone-age mythology leads only to contradiction and absurdity. An amusing pastime in its own way, but producing results destined to be utterly misconstrued by the ignorant faithful.
Old guys like young broads, even 150,000 year old guys.
But it was the other way around. Mitochondrial Eve was born about 150000 years before Y-chromosomal Adam. Maybe he was into extreme necrophilia, or liked them really really wrinkly...
Our kids get a calendar full of secular Lego bits for the upcoming solstice, Saturnalia, Sol invictus, Yule, or other midwinter festival. We made them ourselves, with 24 numbered pouches (each with a velcro flap).
Yeah, I know that starting on 1 December there should generally be only 21 pouches to reach the solstice, 23 for Saturnalia, and 25 for Yule and Sol invictus, but kids here expect to get prezzies on 24 December, so that's when the calendar ends.
amazing - someone who had mod points could have modded the parent informative and instead chose to waste points making you redundant.
It happens. No big deal.
In part I found the post by waynemcdougal to be informative because I'm currently repurposing a disused Dell GX260 to donate to the local primary school (no tax break - this is Finland). After securely wiping its disk, I'm installing Ubuntu with a selection of applications. My list has much in common with Wayne's, but his list was quite helpful and had some suggestions which were not familiar to me.
Here's my updated list, which requires enabling the multiverse and backports repositories, and adding the medibuntu, opera, and geogebra repositories.

Some of these packages (geogebra, genius, chemtool, etc.) are aimed more at high school than primary school, but the teachers might find a way to take advantage of them.

You would be amazed at what they can find in the trashcans they are emptying!

All US congressmen and senators take an oath of office, which begins "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States..."
It is definitely their job. Same for the president.
Well, taking the oath is part of their job. Once they're in, they can forget about it and focus on the next revenue/re-election stunt.

For me, it gets transparently redirected to mirror.wikileaks.info, which Spamhaus has warned against (apparently hosted by a suspect entity). http://it.slashdot.org/story/10/12/18/1738207/Spamhaus-Under-DDoS-Over-Wikileaksinfo.
That site appears quite different to wikileaks.ch which is the new official site, and is not included on the list of mirrors of wikileaks at http://wikileaks.ch/Mirrors.html.
There's no "Business Math" in high school!
You're right. It was all covered early in grade school.

Instead of new server rack, package contained bobcats. Would not buy again.
Try polecats or skunks instead. Would evacuate the place the package was opened.

I loved pentominoes and had several tangrams. There are several other offbeat games which stimulate the young mind, such as:
- Amazing Labyrinth http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1219/the-amazeing-labyrinth
- Triominoes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triominoes
- Mahjong http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_Jong
They can be played with whatever skill level you choose, even with a 6-year-old. Our youngest kid loves all of them, but is not keen on tangrams.
