You don't need to go past the google's search bar. Both Google's search bar and browser search field are visible at the time. Because of greater frequency of use and constancy of position, clicking on the browser search bar is easier. Google search field is available only on Google's page and keeps moving along the page so one has to hunt it down before clicking on it.
One might also remember the browser's keybinding to take the cursor to browser search bar. Google also might have such a keybinding (I am not sure) but it would require javascript and work only when one is on Google. So this keybinding can be used less often than the browser-bar keybinding and hence remembered less.
It is true for most encryption algorithms. But most encryption algorithms are broken - which means that there is a solution taking less time than the brute force method. E.g. Instead of 2^120, there is a clever solution that takes 2^115 attempts for the same sized key. Doesn't mean anything for the practical cracker.
I guess your algorithm might also turn out to be broken in this sense.
Yeah, but there are other peculiarities. As of 2008, appending 3 to kernel boot parameters did not make Ubuntu boot into text console mode. Debian / Red Hat family / Suse all do so but Ubuntu simply ignores the numeric boot parameter just to be different.
2. Thunderbird does not fit in with the philosophy of GNOME.
So epiphany ends up as the official browser of GNOME and evolution as official mail client. No reason why users and distributions cannot use firefox (most do) and thunderbird (most don't) as default applications.
Can't be. Ultimately its about deciding a few subjects - if one stays the other has to get kicked out. Actually, saying that "cars are about black cars" is an enemy of choice.
You support compulsory math and history education in violation of your principle of choice. A lot of school level trigonometry, geometry etc. are never going to be used by a vast majority of the students. No student is ever going to meet a military general of the civil war. Yet they study these things.
On the other hand - every student has a body. Which works much much better if taken care of. So learning a few aspects of taking care of it help them live life better and learn the other subjects by keeping them out of sick-bed more often.
Education is about mental education, not physical
You don't say "Education is about mental education, not historical education." It is because in history lessons - mind is the only thing that is being educated, but about history. Similarly, in gym classes, physical fitness classes etc. - mind is the only thing that is being educated, but about one's own body.
And finally - without specific classes to get them off their asses, students would be sitting in a single place for 2-3 consecutive hours twice a day. It cannot be good for them. So even if you forget about the future physical fitness of the students, gym classes and the like are still helpful.
PS - your rant has nothing to do with the topic being discussed.
You mean "Education is about mental education, not physical" ? It's like saying cars are about black cars, not red. Murder is about murder by stabbing with a knife, not by strangling with one's bare hands.
Cars are about all kinds of cars. Education is about all kinds of education. Why do you believe otherwise?

The only way to get oil to explode is to vaporize it
Vaporizing all of it before setting it on fire may not be necessary - depending upon your definition of explosion. Part of it will vaporize in the process of "setting it on fire", so this part is wrong in some cases.
, mix it with air in the exact right concentration
This is definitely wrong. It is not necessary to mix it with air in the exact right concentration. Whatever is the limiting reagent will get spent first - leaving a residue of the other reagent behind. Or limiting supply of one of the reagents (air and fuel vapour) can result in a different reaction but in no way preventing an explosion.
, and then set it on fire
As I explained before - these things do not need to be done in the order you specify to trigger an explosion.
If someone refuses to work : I think the term that the prisoner spent without working is not counted in his prison term. It mostly doesn't happen much though.
I never disputed your point - I just wondered how can the US forget to have a provision for rigorous imprisonment.
Prisoners, who are working very cheaply, compete with free people who are working for a reasonable wage, distorting market prices.
Prisoners pay for prisons i.e. 1. Men making sure that prisoners don't escape, armed friends of prisoners don't come to release them, etc. Among such prisoners are high security prisoners and unhealthy prisoners, who cannot work off the cost of security for them, so the security cost gets distributed among all prisoners. 2. Space, building, infrastructure, tools, weapons needed for prisons and maintain such security. 3. Prison administrators, prison doctors / reformers / psychologists (needed more inside prisons than out).
Free people who are working for a reasonable wage don't have to pay for all this.
Then, there is no reason to assume prison would "compete" with other businesses in the usual sense. It can easily be ensured that prison "merchandise" is sold at market price regardless of the cost to produce it at prison. This holds whether the cost to produce at prison is less or more than the market price. State absorbs extra revenue / replenishes any shortages.
Maintaining the supply of cheap goods requires maintaining the supply of prisoners, giving the state an incentive to create more laws that.
I guess elected representatives create laws in this system that you are talking about. There are much-much bigger problems than the prison revenue system if - revenue is a bigger motivator for the elected representatives than their own re-election / future of their political party. So much bigger that you can forget about the prison revenue system for now and fix the motivation of your elected representatives.
While you are right that Oracle doesn't have much to gain by Android's death, but Android directly doesn't bring much revenue to Google. If the patent lawsuit means that Google needs to spend a lot to keep Android alive, why wouldn't Google simply destroy the product?
What milk, and what golden goose? These idioms are used for highly profitable things. Android is far from highly profitable. Though it has its own uses for Google.

That's right. But just curious - why do you use linux then? Or read Slashdot stories about linux?
The corn stuff, cane stuff, and beet stuff are the same chemicals in a very slightly different ratio
A live human body and a dead human body are the same chemicals in a very slightly different ratio.
A healthy human body and an unhealthy human body are the same chemicals in a very slightly different ratio.
It's about mental education, not physical.
What's about mental education, not physical? In this entire thread, you have not mentioned what is this "it" that you are talking about.
Then you never had the problem of flash-ads that you complained about in the GGP post.

Can't you be arrested for strong suspicion? I thought most countries have new-fangled "anti-terrorism" laws that enable law enforcement to do that.
Then different countries have different time-limits specified for producing the arrestee in a court / magistracy etc.

but the bible really does contain a warning about this
Can you provide a reference? Or a hint enabling me to search it out?
thanks
Part of the problem with prison as it exists now is that it provides so much -- food, shelter, freedom from having to work, etc.
What? Don't you guys have rigorous imprisonment ?
