Why would the second, USA or NATO only, internet need IPV6? Remember, this is the one that YOU will never be allowed on (at least in your role as a private person), let alone Mexico, Central America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia. Likewise, this is the one that toasters, your gas and water meter, the coke machine on the 7th floor of Science Hall, or any other such appliances would not need to be on. In short, this is the Internet before Al Gore ruined it by opening it up for blatant commerce, and will have that few hosts (i.e., few enough so that every admin on it would know all the top level domains, if not most of the other admins).
> and while we're at it, maybe we can get the U.S. on the metric system.
Obviously, you are too young to buy liquor. Try and buy a new *fifth* of bourbon (or get your parents to). The USA has been on the metric system for decades (since the yard was defined in terms of the meter) but doesn't send men with guns after people or companies who use the customary measurements instead.
> If I'm not mistaken coal is used in blacksmiths kilns to melt iron, at about 1500 Celsius.
You are mistaken, however, as blacksmiths do not melt iron, which makes cast iron, but merely heat it up until it is very soft. The contaminants usually do not soften, though, and are easily (if you are as strong as a blacksmith or mechanical hammer) beaten out. Before the use of coal, a major part of a blacksmith's skill set was in picking wood to use, and in converting the wood into charcoal, which burned hot enough to use to heat the iron ore properly.
Most libraries n the USA are owned by private charities, not their local governments. I would not be surprised if most fire departments were private volunteer fire companies, as well.
Roads, airports, social security, medicare/medicaid are not "the means of production" either.
OTOH, now that the US Government (and the Canadian, to a lesser extent) owns most of GM, AIG, etc., complaining about the socialist moniker is a bit of a waste of time. Auto and insurance companies are certainly what socialist governments try to own.
BTW, Eisenhower was barely conservative in anything; neither was Nixon a conservative except in contrast to Humphrey and McGovern.

How did you pull that trick? The movie version (with Audrey Hepburn, Alan Arkin, and Richard Crenna) used to be a staple of Saturday and Sunday afternoon TV filler movies. I probably saw it as often as I saw Where Eagles Dare, or Beastmaster, when *they* were beaten to death by TV, in their turns.
> An entire planet existing as a city? This makes no sense from a material > logistics point of view, at all. There is nothing like this in Star Trek.
No, because Star Trek had abandoned economic reality, entirely. No money at all until ST:V and ST:DS9 (despite having Orion pirates). BTW, we only saw downtown Coruscant; maybe they had arcologies devoted to agriculture scattered around the rest of the planet, but nothing interesting happened there (farms ARE very boring places, after all, especially to Anakin's line).
> Microscopic life forms (midichlorians) giving magical powers to people?
Any more nonsensical that microscopic life forms (mitochondria) giving people the ability to use an extremely corrosive gas, so much that they require almost enough partial pressure of it that it could burn iron? And another microscopic life form (chloroplasts) had embedded itself in life from another kingdom, coincidentally making lots of that same corrosive gas as a byproduct of its major metabolic processes?
Frankly, the idea that the pre-Empire had pinned down the Force to the extent that they had identified the organelles that let its users manipulate it, and that this knowledge might disappear within a generation of almost all the Force Users dying in a suicidal/genocidal war, seemed the only realistic thing in SW:TPM.
Which sounds slightly strange, as you'd not even be allowed to attach a bumper sticker to a car that's not yours.
Actually, this is annoyingly common at touristy spots (I Just Visited the Mystery Spot, etc.), so I expect that it is legal, at least as long as you make no permanent changes to the subject vehicle and do not block the driver's sight lines. Clearly, putting a GPS tracker on a suspect's car would require meeting these minimal standards as a side effect of hiding it from the subject.
English has been "f'ed" up since it became a Danish/Anglo-Saxon pidgin, before the Norman Conquest. If you don't accept that, there are still hundreds of other languages in which you can write (assuming someone else can write back -- there aren't many Pequot-literates, anymore:-)
> It's called "hate crime" not "hate speech". And yes something you say can be counted as a "hate crime".
And so far, most prosecutions have been against minority criminals targeting majority victims. There is no open season on us white, northern European, protestants, yet.
Or Downstate Illinois, for that matter, where the Republicans used to do enough voter fraud to balance out the Democrats in the north, which was supposedly why Richard Nixon didn't challenge the Illinois vote in 1960.
Both those RFID-blocking wallets are out of stock. Are you just a dupe of the Vast RFID Conspiracy, or was that deliberate disinformation? Wait, ThinkGeek is related to SlashDot, too, so Cmdr Taco must be in on it, too! And I ran out of aluminum foil in my kitchen, just last night. Oh, God! I must be in on it, too! We're all doomed!
My personal interpretation is that negative numbers are actually a very sophisticated, hard thing to deal with for most people.
Actually, negative numbers are lies invented by mathematicians. Have you ever seen -1 dollars/grapes? No, just some schmuck/monkey reduced to depending on charity/government/researchers to avoid starvation. That is why normal people/monkeys usually work off of the logarithm of the final result, not the linear value.
EMH presumes that all information is available to all participants. To the extent that one group monopolizes information, the market is NOT an efficient one, but a mug's game. Insiders are presumed to always have (at least some) monopolized information, and so cannot efficiently trade, but must give the SEC prior notice of their intention to trade (which the SEC makes publicly available) and notification after they carry out the planned trades (which is, again, passed on to the public). I do not remember how much prior notice that the SEC requires, but I believe that it was at least a month, and probably more.
No, it is civil, not criminal, matter, unless it was actual assault or rape (not the case, here). Since Hurd and the lady settled the matter privately, it is no court's business.
WAS only a cease-fire. The North Koreans recently repudiated it, so the shooting war has restarted, although we seem to be in a Phony War stage for now. Fortunately.
Can he be replaced by J. Random Teamster, or is there something more to the job that makes it worth $140,000? If there are millions willing to be flown in to do it, and can do it, the only way he gets that much is if he has proof that someone high up did something (dead girl or live boy type of something).
Change "programmers" to transistor designers, change brokerages to Fairchild, and you have the origins of Silicon Valley. If these guys succeed, they could be as rich as Croesus. Now they just need enough VC help to survive to their first huge profit.
The problem will not be bit decay, but format changes and "why do you want to save that crap anyway?" as you shift from drive to drive. The data likely will outlast the drive mechanism that would read it.
And before the small town, there was the tribe and the band. Try keeping anything private when you all sleep in the same Great Hall, or in tents.
Privacy is a fairly recent development, and had lots of detractors (Athenian democracy, for one, since people meeting together yet separate from the rest could be hatching all sorts of conspiracies).
In fact, it is deprecated, and no one is supposed to even test whether a phone can handle it, anymore. At least according to the last PTRCB Bulletin entries that I read, on my old account of 4 years ago.
Using it is actually WORSE than broadcasting in clear, apparently.

You forgot:
Bruce Willis's psychiatrist died in the first scene, but didn't know it. He was a ghost, while treating the boy.
Juno was a man.
