Just do what any parent would do if they start fake smoking and stuff. Offer them the real thing and when they cough up and puke on the floor ask them if they think it's cool... oh wait cant do that you'd be thrown in jail.
So a bit under 1 billion dollars and this is just using off the shelf hardware. If they used interconnected mainframes or some other high performance hardware it could potentially be cheaper in terms of CPU power.
So do they have a 3 million processor supercomputer? Possibly.
Unfortunately this will never be the case as long as you have big government spying on the internet tubes.
There are things you don't want the government to know. Just like there are things you don't want your parents to know. Etc...
Encryption is about keeping data secure and ultimately so only YOU and those YOU AUTHORIZE have access to the data. If you do not wish to authorize the government then they should have to prove that there is something in the encrypted thing relevant to the case. This is a catch-22, because in order to prove it they need to open it in the first place and without opening it in the first place they cant prove that there is anything relevant to the case.
Unfortunately the Mythbusters busted the brown note otherwise it would be a truly epic prank to pull off if you could do it to say one of the roads leading to the professors parking lots.
Actually up here in Canada they do something like this on some streets going from the highways to inner city roads because it actually helps big rigs slow down/stop faster.
Ah but it is a federal issue you see their selection of a president/vp combination... Its the same sort of convoluted reasoning they use to ban online gambling sites and gain control of the telecommunications networks and stuff like that.
Well... If Yahoo, MSN, and Altavista DID change their logos for New Years, Christmas (and Kwanza and Hannucka), Easter, Valentines Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, etc... and didnt change it for Veteran's day then yeah they probably would.
It's more about a bunch of minor holidays (I mean honestly who gives a fuck about valentine's day not like any slashdot reader has a girlfriend) not getting recognized and the day Veterans and the War dead are supposed to be honored not getting the respect it deserves.
You are forgetting... Google doesnt really CARE if you dont look at the ads (They're a bonus though). What they want is you to be using their search engine because people pay big $$$ to be listed in the top 10 or 20 or whatever on the first page of a search. Its basically the same as advertising excpet the user is actually actively searching for the information.
Actually if you are talking about a civilization that is several million lightyears away (or even several hundred thousand) the fact remains that they could HAVE at some point been using radio and given that Radio does not go faster than the speed of light it could conceivably take 100,000-1 million years for it to reach us while they're using quantum communications or whatever.
If there was another civilization out there looking for life among the stars, they would only know about us if they were within 200 lightyears of us (IE. the 200 years ago we found out about radio waves, maybe 75+ years of active broadcasting.
Yeah when I was doing a Computer related degree in College they used CentOS because of that fact. The thing is you're more likely to encounter RHEL than Debian, Ubuntu and such for server work. They exploited the fact that CentOS was a free version of RHEL and now RHEL has about 20-30 more people with college degrees that have been introduced to their work.
Myself I've used Ubuntu series of Linux on my home machine because its better for desktops but if I were to run a server I'd probably choose CentOS for myself (or a small business), RHEL if I had a big budget in a major company.
Not if you're stealthy about it and can keep a straight face while some angry retard is blowing a gasket that his cell phone aint working...
Alternatively, if a Restaurant wanted to ensure that their customers were not overburdened with cell phone calls they could build some copper mesh into the walls creating a faraday cage in the establishment without running afoul of the law by enacting the use of active jamming devices. Simply make it clearly noted that cell phones will not work within the premises and to take any calls needed to be made outside.
You'd be considered a criminal for doing the same anyways. Look at Florida if you want to sell a used CD to a shop they gotta get your drivers license and ID and stuff and hold things for 10 days before stocking it on shelves, etc... because of some dumb law the RIAA got put in.
Its because they want to be the point of sale for EVERY copy forever and ever. Dont think if they could get away with it with DRM and crap that they wouldnt try making you buy the same song for your computer, your iPod, Your Stereo, Your car and Your Radio.
For the record latency is a unit of time which you are measuring in fractions of how much it takes the earth to rotate 360 degrees. As a result we have one revolution split up into a fraction of 24 which we call hours and into 1440 which we call minutes and 86400 which we call seconds. But its alright we'll split the second into SI units of millisecond, microsecond, nanosecond and picosecond.
As for your base 10 list in a more serious manner...
Seconds are a unit of time which is built on a non-SI system until you get down to divisions of seconds.
Clockrate is measured in hertz this is true but the internals of the system uses base 2 for everything. This is why RAM is listed in base 2 notation and why Hard Drives used to be.
As for bandwidth related things, all of those are marketed as 'Up to' a certain speed. You never ever get those 'up to' in a real world scenario because line quality, distance and other factors will sap away potential. Also many of the broadband providers say you have a 512Kb/s line and frequently you can see your downloads doing well over that at least up here in Canada depending on the time of day though.

Actually there was talk/action about turning Cookie Monster into Vegetable Monster or something.

Warren Buffet did the math and came out that he was paying 18% in tax while his receptionist was paying 33% in tax.
3,000,000 * $316.50 = 949,500,000

Ever hear of PETA?

If the key is only in your head then they cant compel you to hand it over.
Sounds like the 1812 Overture?

If you do click those two options though it will still delete Google cookies

What a coincidence... My brother's new computer shipped with this malware too!

32-bits ought to be enough for anyone!
Didn't George Jetson have one of these?

Have you seen death threats by snail mail? They usually use cut out magazine letters otherwise they're written in BLOOD.
