    Dinner time in Spain is about 10 PM so more like 18 hours so just under 70 mph for an average.

  2. I am pretty easy going too but sometimes there are those few people who just can't stop being ass holes and need to hear that. I've told that to probably 5 or 6 people in my life so it isn't like it is a regular occurrence but sometimes it is justified. This is probably also about the number of fights I have gotten in to as well but they were never with the people I told to shut their pie hole and I never did start a fight. Some people need to be told to shut up and some people need to have their asses kicked but the vast majority of people need neither.

    Netflix does pick up its part of the tab. They pay whatever they pay to their ISP for their connection. I pay what ever I pay for my connection to my ISP and there are parties that that my ISP and Netflix's ISP pay to connect them. The fact that my ISP wants Netflix to pay them to ensure their packets get delivered to me over the connection I am already paying them to deliver packets to me over is stupid. How about the ISP of ./ makes you pay to deliver your posts.

  6. Why bother working on that when a reasonable solution exists. Granted it doesn't do well in places like Minnesota but there are other plants that do. In other parts of the country there are other options too.

  7. Well Finland use to be the Grand Duchy of Finland of Russia even if it was antonymous. I would somewhat imagine it was much like how Hong Kong is antonymous from mainland China. So there has been Russian influence long before the Soviets. WWII was a good chance to shoot some Soviets as they were distracted.

    No. They have people that tell them what they want to hear and people who manage their statements so that it panders to just the right set of donors and not offend others.

    Well AES is turning out to not be as strong as thought. But something like SERPENT (seems to be the strongest of the AES finalists) or TWOFISH would be better choices. As far as asymmetric key encryption I would probably look into lattice based crypto as RSA is useless with quantum computers

    I would guess that the number is likely higher than 0.1% but that would require training and learning about them. I mean how many people here know what S-boxes, P-boxes, MDS Matrix, Pseudo Hadamard transform, Feistel network, substution permutation network are and how to use and design them. I mean it isn't like there aren't resources and books for learning the basics that also cover how to do cryptanalysis using things like linear cryptanalysis, differential cryptanalysis and variants, or even the simple frequency analysis

    If they stopped spending on defense or terrorism, the funds would either be spent on other constitutional responsibilities or not spent at all.

    The US government pisses away a lot of money on things and would likely do just that. Granted that report is from a right wing group but at the same time there are some pretty egregious things listed there.

    Well I just assign some default levels of trust in most cases and I find it work pretty well.
    TSA agent - I trust that they likely won't choke on their own tongue while I am in the security line
    Is in US House or Senate - No trust at all, should probably be placed in a padded room for their own protection
    Is in the state House or Senate - Very little trust but they likely don't need to be in a padded room
    Random guy on the street - Probably not going to hurt me
    Ass hole on the phone driving a car - I really need to install a train air horn in my car so dickhead can pay attention to the road instead

    I believe that a good number of George Carlin's 7 you can now say on TV.

  14. When I think clunker I think of a vehicle like the Jeep I owned or the Bronco II before it. The Jeep was a $1000 vehicle lots of dents and scratches and rust. The engine ran great until the fuel pump went out and with it being in tank and the amount of rust on the under carriage it wasn't worth fixing. I did own and use that thing as a beater and hunting/haul vehicle for 3 years without problem. It went off to the salvage yard with 379K miles on it and some plywood for a floor. The Bronco II faced a similar fate but that was when the front brake caliper hung up and boiled the brake fluid. It was a $500 vehicle and I used it as a beater, hunt/haul vehicle for 4 years and it got scrapped with 285k miles. The sad part is the locks didn't work on either one and also the tumbler for the ignition was so worn you could star them with anything you could slide in the key slot and turn.

  15. I bet if they asked the Finns nicely. The Finns have a knack for shooting Russian troops.

  17. It was just this guy that kept saying and doing some weird ass shit...
    ... This guy was basically just some dude that was really annoying

    There is the problem it wouldn't have mattered if he was straight or queer as a 3 dollar bill. I'm sure we've all see the weird creepy guy at the bar that tries to hit on every gal that come in the door, or remembers the stereotypical dumb ugly fat drunk chick from college that showed up at all the parties. Point is gay vs non gay has nothing to do with it and maybe you should have been more assertive, god known I have told people to shut their fucking pie hole and never talk to me.

  18. The clunker car you've been driving to work is probably worth more dead than alive. So you drown it in the lake or set it on fire and file a claim for the insurance. It's a crime, but not a federal case.

    that would likely only be the case if you had a loan on it but if you don't and it runs then it's utility value is likely more than the insurance money. It seems that the low end for vehicle that move under their own power is in the $500-$1,000 range and while they look like shit on tires, can actually be fairly reliable vehicles (I've owned several). These are also the same sorts of vehicles that you don't get comprehensive coverage on but only the bare minimum so even if you did set it on fire they you are left burnt out pile with no salvage value and no insurance money.

    Also, many of the sizes of the works are not what you'd expect.

    I think that is part of the appeal of the Mona Lisa. If you haven't seen it in real life it is much smaller than you would expect given its fame. In my mind I always expected it to be on the physical scale of Liberty Leading the People or the Madonna of the Rocks. My only beefs with the Mona Lisa is the huge crowd of people around it as well as the security. The other painting in the Louvre you could touch if you wanted to see what French jail looks like but the Mona Lisa had guards next to it encased in it's own enclosure of bullet proof glass and ropes to keep people out of arms reach.

    At one point my then employer and I had a great idea, which we never implemented, that we should show pictures with each error message, so the call would go "Hey, I just used your product, and it showed me a picture of a tree and said 'Software Error'", "A tree? Ah, that means you're out of memory. Might mean a memory leak. Can you tell me what you were doing before you saw the tree..."

    That probably is one of the best ideas I have heard in a while. It would likely give the user something they would remember that would be able to provide useful info.

    Which is why the H-1B visa issue is a bi-partisian one. Both sides support increasing it. It has been about the only controversial thing Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar has supported. Sadly she really wants to expand this program. Why does Amy Klobuchar hate high skilled well paid workers?
