well put. and note, if we're talking about armed battlefield robots, targetting the opposition with lethal force, false positives should NOT be acceptable.
not wearing a uniform and showing no visible weapon
there's your answer. anyone not wearing a uniform is "civilian". anyone not showing weapons is "unarmed".
in a real-world situation, both of these things could change. if you see the subject pull a gun from his coat, he's no longer "not showing weapons", he's now "armed". these aren't static criteria, and neither are whatever other factors that go into deciding whether to use deadly force.
No matter which you decide and by whatever criteria, you will be wrong a good percentage of the time.
these recognition systems will have to adjust to changing conditions. their target lists will be constantly updated... unless you just want to kill everything.
Of course you can. It's called PASTE. It's one of two reasons the clipboard exists. (The other one's called COPY.)
I'd imagine, if you use setClipboard to SET the CLIPBOARD contents (again, that's called COPY), you'd probably use getClipboard to GET whatever's there (and that's PASTE).
utterly depends on what you want. it's abuse (or a bug, or possibly simple orneryness) if you want Ubuntu to suck your dick and it doesn't. it's like Slackware's obvious sadism in refusing to suck your dick -- it's not abuse if that's your thing.
this problem reminds me of multiple computers talking on an ethernet hub. the solution? use a sort of subspace CSMA/CD. establish your warp bubble in a random phase. observe for a bit. if the universe is moving, someone else is using that phase: choose another phase and try again.
That's not 'theft', it's 'posession of stolen property'. Columbus was the one who stole it and saddled them with it. I'm fairly sure they'd even give it back if they could figure out how.
The historical Jesus is Jesus of Nazareth as reconstructed by historians using historical methods. These historical methods use critical analysis of gospel texts as the primary source for the biography of Jesus, along with non-biblical sources to reconstruct the historical context of first-century Judea.
That reads pretty much like they're getting information about Jesus solely from the Bible. I believe Jesus existed, but seriously, non-Biblical documentation of his existence is... scarce.
You must live in eastern NC. Or maybe the Charlotte region. The rest of the state has plenty of charm, thanks. A few retards, to be sure, but those are everywhere these days.
Then don't use "random data" that looks like encrypted files. Wouldn't "random data" be more useful as a large collection of randomly-chosen, unencrypted files? Think freely-available PDFs (articles, whitepapers, product specs, whatever), source code (as a tarball or not), copies of webpages, free MP3s, free video downloads, linux distro ISOs, whatever.
The object is not to piss off the border guard. Be polite; answer any questions they have about the material ("it looked interesting, so I downloaded a copy to check out later"); let them make their copies. Plan ahead so your personal files are somewhere else.
The "random data" files are there to give them something to copy, that they will then waste time sifting through for whatever they're looking for. Don't include anything pirated, personal, or suspicious (no bomb-making instructions or anything), and you won't have anything to worry about. Don't include anything encrypted, and you won't be asked for a password.
Let them wonder about the amateur astronomer/coder/birdwatcher with the drive full of Hubble pictures, linux kernel code, birdsong mp3s, and videos from Archive.org.
Let's suppose that by the time we're slinging tanks of He3 off the moon (...) Well the problem is tritium is created in fusion reactors; as more reactors are built more tritium is produced so even more reactors could be built, and it can be considered as more of a "catalyst" than a fuel in that it's not used up.
The demand for tritium would certainly decrease hugely as more fusion reactors came online. Tritium is H3 (Hydrogen-3), not He3 (Helium-3).
What the hell is wrong with the Dilbert site?? The only way I can read the comic is in short glimpses before the Flashcrap loads -- then hit reload to read the next panel. Did Scott Adams let his pointy-haired-boss design the flashcrap??
(b) to elect the candidate who will do the most damage, on the premise that the citizen-led equivalent of a reboot (aka a "revolution") is the only way to fix the system. It's such a shame Bush can't run again. That's actually a reason good enough for me to vote for him.

you know what water's made of, right?
google 'electrolytic decomposition of water'. follow directions. apply spark to resulting gases. duck.
seriously, was that hard?
not really. 9000 people that all smell different is easier for the dog than 50000 people that all smell like the same soap.

P.S. The song calls him "Mr. Horrible", not "Dr. Horrible".
fixed.
The song is "Someone Keeps Moving My Chair".

look at the breakdowns by country. Finland outstrips everyone in searches for apple pie. maybe its a seasonal finnish pie-eating holiday?
