What I meant was that the algorithm is really simple, it's not like it needs thousands of lines of code, a post below shows how it has been done in 5 lines of completely unreadable perl.
Actually it is rather specific. They want you to build a working brain simulator with a math foundation rather then guesses at what the brain is doing biologically.
AFAIK mathematically consistent means that it's all derived from the axioms without any hand waving.
You apparently failed to read this part of the sentence
"undertaken using the standards that each county's election officials have said they would use in a recount."
Anyhow, your failure to read properly doesn't matter since no-one actually proposed a full statewide recount, the recount Al Gore proposed (The 4 democratic counties) would have ended in his loss and as you post the recount that the supreme court stopped would also have ended in his loss (Some counties wouldn't have been recount).
There is nothing dogmatic about PI, you're allowed to doubt it's value all you want, all you need is take a ruler and measure the circumference and radius of a circle and you can make your own value of PI which should end up being the same number everyone else uses +- some inaccuracy in your measurement.
I don't see how anything you can go out there and test yourself can be dogmatic.
No you wouldn't, half your students would probably be insulting you or libeling you one way or the other on the internet. You can't seriously expect to win that legal battle.
You prosecute people for thought crime in the US? I'm happy that I live in Sweden where you actually have to commit the crime (unless the police can actually prove you were about to do the crime by for example finding detailed plans in your apartment)
For each protocol and geographical area they said that they will allow X connections, for example they might have decided that bittorent is allowed 1 million connections in new york(made up numbers).
Then when someone tries to open connection one million and one comcast goes and says "No, we can't allow you to do that since we already have too many bittorrent connections in this area", they do this by sending fake reset messages (Which is arguably fraud).
They also claim they only have had to block 10% of P2P traffic.
Exact sense? The exact definition of moron is someone with an IQ between 51-70, how accurate usage of you.
May I call you hypocrite yet?
The US military defines WMD's pretty vaguely as any weapon that can kill a large number of people leaving large undefined.
Saddam used 100 bombs (14 sorties of 7-8 planes) to kill 30,000 people which ends up at 300 per plane/sortie which could be compared to Hiroshima which is estimated at over 100,000 deaths by one bomb would you really put those two weapons in the same.
Generally when people speak of WMD they don't think in terms of how many people it can kill, a modified flu virus isn't a WMD in the majority of people's mind.
I think it's a matter of visual destruction, if the weapon is capable of destroying huge areas of land it's a WMD.
The term was apparently first used(According to wikipedia) to describe the aerial bombardment of spain in 1937.
In truth WMD is not defined as all, it's a mostly political term that was made popular by a news story from 1937 that described a bombing in spain as being done by weapons of mass destruction.
Since then various people have defined it however they liked and your definition is among them.
So yes you can claim that my kitchen is a WMD by your definition but sane people use the word for nukes.
Actually that's not how trademark works, the trademark just makes sure noone else can sell cars under the nissan name, anyone is allowed to have a website with the nissan name aslong as their product can't be confused with nissans.

I thought the entire point of titanium was that it's a soft metal that'll bend rather then break.
I suspect that would be the point where you're meant to stop using your computer and start using common sense. Oh gee, do we build our luxury store in the slum or in the posh quarter.

It's exactly the same kind of people that cheat in other games, they want the reward but they don't want to put in the effort so they cheat.
Having a program grind for you in an MMO is no different from typing in a money cheat in an rts.

Isn't RSA rather easy to implement without any library at all?

I think you missed the fact that the post you're quoting was a joke.
Most people seem to both cry and take matters into their own hands by taking the drm away themselves, often without paying first.
DRM is a joke and will just become more of a joke as more people learn how to use bittorrent.

The lazyness of physics book writers doesn't make physics into dogma.
The laws of physics are not final and eternal, the fact that newtons law of gravity has been proven to be wrong should be proof of that.
Unless you're performing a DoS isn't IP spoofing very counterproductive since you cant get a response?
No you wouldn't, half your students would probably be insulting you or libeling you one way or the other on the internet. You can't seriously expect to win that legal battle.
If you're going to sue everyone that libels you over the internet you're into a long life in court.

>Do you think if I carried a crack pipe in my pocket, I could convince a COP that it's just a goodluck charm?
Yes you could, there is nothing illegal about owning a crack pipe.
It has been mentioned in several newspapers but the deletionist faction likes reading "non-trivial" as "major".
Did they actually make you swear/affirm that you were telling the truth?
Comcast claims they did this:
For each protocol and geographical area they said that they will allow X connections, for example they might have decided that bittorent is allowed 1 million connections in new york(made up numbers).
Then when someone tries to open connection one million and one comcast goes and says "No, we can't allow you to do that since we already have too many bittorrent connections in this area", they do this by sending fake reset messages (Which is arguably fraud).

Because insults really help your cause.

WMD is a post WW1 term, that is the heavy chemical warfare used in WW1 has never been called for WMD's.
Poison gas is not WMD, seriously, are we going after the local chemistry teacher for possesing chlorine soon?
