No no, that would only encourage choice. For every use case they have a product with Microsoft in the name, so get your software in a Microsoft shop. MS does not want you to know what other software is out there.

Google is probably one of the most if not the most innovative companies in the world, I wouldn't be surprised if they have just created the next generation of communication!
Are you kidding? Again, Google has cobbled together existing technology
I think that might be the "innovation". Also, why do innovations have to be perfect suddenly?
Question is, will it be adopted. And if a company can push new things, it is Apple, Microsoft and Google. Also, how will people transition from their email?
Well, if you have used encryption for several years now, you probably made a move from 128bit over 512bit to 2064bit key size. For some encryption methods quantum computing will just be another step, but a really big one. For others, quantum computing may "solve the decryption" directly by the different approach (superposition, probabilistic calculations).
A random walk might be modeled by a person flipping a coin, and for each flip he steps left for heads and right for tails. In this case, his most probable location is the center
IIRC, the center is only a solution in 1D and 2D, not in higher dimensions (esp. 3D).
There are plenty of other sites, where you can find images.
Really? I don't know any sites where I can find images with clear copyright status except flickr and perhaps the creative-commons search engine. What am I missing?
If you haven't seen it, there are quite a few websites mirroring Wikipedia. It is part of the mission to make the knowledge available, even if Wikipedia goes down (I mean the organisation). They want the knowledge out, not just on their servers.
- Knowledge in words flows unhindered, images can only come to stay in our heads from RL, TV, Magazines,...
We can not reproduce images and forward it to other peoples brains. We only can with words.

Actually, the natural selection would be the second part, random mutations being the first. For CS people, one might think MapReduce;-) While there are several schemes for identifying species, the point is (I think) that just one random mutations makes two species. No natural selection, otherwise one species would not be here.
socat is crazy. It supports SSL/TLS and chaining of protocols (e.g. for tunnelling) and you can use this addressing scheme as a library for your projects.
Definitely powerful, but I found it a little picky on command-line parameters -- if you just want to do simple stuff it is not that easy to get into it.
Microsoft is trying to do everything, huh? OS, Office software, server systems, hardware, web apps, programming languages,...
Is seeing Microsoft as a single apparatus correct though or is it more like a bunch of bought up companies/development teams (huge though) that do their own thing? Can we even see Microsoft going in some direction as a whole or is gaining profit and having the same name the only common thing these groups have?
I think it would be really hard to coordinate an evil plan with all these projects...;-)
The fact that this license was written by the EU with translations to the languages of the various countries, that it includes the necessary sections to cover the individual state of law in the various countries and that it generally considers a European legal systems point of view makes it safer to use than the GPL. On the other hand, since there are no software patents in the EU, I guess GPLv3 doesn't have that much momentum. Also the EUCD/Electronic Commerce Directive is not the DMCA.
Mathematicians are plagiarists. We copy theories and proofs all the time. Welcome to the universe.
Citing, referring and reusing other peoples work is not plagiarism. Actually reusing other peoples work without referring to it would be plagiarism, and you can get sued for it in many countries as it is bad science / forgery. There is a difference.
While you are standing on the shoulders of giants, you don't just brag about being a huge fellow.
Btw, some theorems are called differently e.g. in central Europe vs. Russia as they have been found independently. Also not plagiarism.
You know how newer mp3-players and phones can play movies? Wouldn't it be possible to convert a PDF into a movie (scrolling the pages) and read it with pause-play?

You are teaching off-campus students pair-programming? Fail! At least that was the original requirement, pair programming.
I'm on to you, Cmdr Taco, if that is your real name!
It is, call up the army now to find out where he is based at.

I wouldn't worry. As long as there are NP problems that take extremely long unless you have a hint, we have encryption methods.

Since this was written by a NedaNet guy, my question would be "Does NedaNet provide a end-user solution for normal Iranians.
Weird though that their website isn't reachable by https.
If it is pair programming, you could also just use VNC to connect one student to the other for seeing the same text in an IDE.
Or, you know, suggest the people sit physically together?

I really doubt a magic bullet can exist
What about lightyears thick walls of lead, huh?
You're right, it needs to be done by humans to be sure.
I bet this is how "Hot or not" et. al. came to life

Sure, but Europeans could then choose a license for future projects. And possibly for derivatives of GPLv3 projects?
I hope the EU issues a GPL3-compatible version of the EUPL, so devs in Europe are on the legally safe side.
