Step 3 states that "We cannot accept the definition of the set NP purely in terms of its members having a property (a solution in polynomial time) that we have no reliable mechanism to detect." "Detect" is a bit vague here, but all that's needed for an existence proof (or disproof) is a formal definition, not any means of actually detecting cases. Look at pretty much any proof involving transfinites.
And what will they do with just the domain name, then?
Either leave it dead or point it to their main website, I'd guess. The "familiarity and goodwill" is with people who already know about their website, so it gains them nothing.
Spinach is great as an ingredient (spanakopita, eggs Florentine and so on). It's only vile when boiled on its own and dumped on the plate as a green gloop. As you say, the myth about high iron came about because of a slipped decimal point, but it's still one of the easiest green leafy veg to make palatable, as long as you take the trouble to make it palatable. Even just frying some crushed garlic and pine nut kernels and mixing them in makes a huge difference, although that's probably more an adult taste than a kids one.
Did he ever use his name in his works? As far as I am aware he never lower-cased his name. It was just a thing his publishers sometimes did against his wishes. Oh, and there are lots of capital letters in his poems, often where lower case would normally be expected. The thing about Cummings only using lower case is just a myth spread by those who haven't read him.
That would be E. E. Cummings. He always capitalised his own name and wanted it capitalised on his works. It was his publishers who didn't always respect that.
Left and right are relative positions. There is no objective centre. Rather, pretty much everybody considers themselves central, moderate, and judges everybody else relative to that. From where the AC is sitting, Bush might well have been left-wing. We all pretty much know where Bush was politically, so the posting actually tells us about the AC's position.

Mocking what you don't understand probably has a longer tradition even than religion.
[1] "an" is here used before "history" in tribute to the days that it was actually common to so use, since this reply is about old stuff.
It was common usage when people didn't pronounce the "h" in history, and hangs on as an affectation with people who do pronounce it but think it's "proper" to use "an". I don't know which category you are in, because I can't hear whether you are pronouncing the "h".
Yes, but the questioner is already out of his mom's basement, so he's clearly not from around here. He's just getting a slashdotter to ask the question for him.
You can simulate lambdas in pretty much any OO language by wrapping them in a class. The advantage of language support for them is that the extra typing of wrapping them in a class is not small if you're doing it a lot, and wrapping the lambda in a class obscures the intention making maintenance harder.
I wouldn't be so sure. The major differences in belief are the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, and there are those who identify as Christian who believe in neither of those things (notably Unitarians) and who could therefore in theory also be Muslims too.
I'm using it (not my choice) for collaboration on a technical standard . I don't think it works well, because every change needs extensive discussion anyway. Standardisation is never "hyper-rapid".
What, are they still having to do that manually? The open source community is really letting the side down. After all, that's one application where users really would pay for support -- the right support. And for once, marketing would understand.
It depends in part on how the instrument is tuned, but it's not a strange avant-garde or Eastern thing. Early instruments in Western music were tuned to Pythagorean harmonies, with the notes in simple proportions: 1:2, 2:3, 5:4 and so on. That was great for playing in the key to which the instrument was tuned and closely related keys, but sounded terrible if somebody tried to play in a remote key. If somebody wanted a B# on their harpsichord then they'd get a C instead and it would sound out of tune. Round about the start of the 18th century people started tuning keyboards so that most of the notes were actually a little out of tune in whatever key one played, but not far out of tune in any of them. By the middle of the 19th century musicians had settled on equal temperament, which is based on ratios between notes of log2(12), in which every key is equally out of tune and B# == C. But that only applies to instruments with fixed pitches. Get a good player on a violin or a trombone, or a good singer, and they've no need to play most of the notes slightly out of tune (unless playing alongside an instrument that can't make the enharmonic distinction), so they will play the note that is completely in tune. If they are playing in F# major and the music calls for an accidental B#, the note they sound will not be the same one as they would sound if they were playing in D major and the music called for an accidental C natural. This is one reason string ensembles and brass bands can sound particularly harmonious: if they're good enough they will be playing natural harmonies, not equally tempered harmonies. And that's not down to how they've tuned their instruments, it's down to how they play them.

Fails at step 3.
"Most valuable brand" is about what people will pay, so it's about investors, not customers, whether you like it or not.
Google is currently the most valuable brand in the world.
Really? Last thing I heard it was second to Walmart.

I don't see anything that says that the owner has to hand over the content. They get the domain name, they don't get his hard work.
Unfortunately most people don't have the balls to do things like this.
Or the spare time to waste on something that they were only doing for fun and that isn't fun any more.

Yes, that should be really effective against burglars that call while he's out at work / out on a date / on vacation / ...
What do you have that you have to spend your whole life sitting next to and guarding?
Yes, but it's Thunderbird 2 that you need to get the rescue gear to site. And I'm relieved that I'm the only one that read the headline that way.

Islam and Christianity are mutually exclusive.

Yes, and count how many of them are better than the ELO approach.
I'm just curious if you read the law. Because it sure reads to me like Wikipedia is in violation of the letter of the law.
Look at Wikipedia's response, which explains why they believe the FBI to be misinterpreting the letter of the law.
But windows compatibility is usually marked on the box. Linux compatibility usually isn't.
