Personally I like DS9 the best because of the episode "In the Pale Moonlight". Apart from that there did seem to be more character development as well as depth to the characters than with the other star treks. I never did like the whole Sisko becomes a godlike thing though.
I love my recycling/hazardous waste disposal center. They will let you take something from the yard equipment or household chemical section if you want it. I always take a look through the chemical section as I have found unopened cans of the deck stain I use, almost full gallons of various solvents, all sorts of perfectly good wood finishes. I haven't bought solvent in years because I find so much of it.
If only that was what actually happens. I keep getting robo calls from debt collectors for a student loan that predates my birth. Even after explaining that they have the wrong person they still call for about 2 months and then sell it to someone else who keeps calling.
Actually it doesn't appear to have passed the house yet. I know the house has passed some relatedbills but hasn't passed this one yet. So while not on the way to the presidents desk at the moment it likely will be shortly. I fully expect my hawkish, freedom hating, former nuclear football carrying in the Regan administration, representative to support this. Then again he called me about USA FREEDOM act which he cosponsored as he didn't like how I was representing the bill and him weeks after it passed. When I stated why I was opposed to it using the exact language in the bill he stated that the law didn't say that. At that point I asked him if he was really that illiterate or just retarded and told him I had read him the exact language in the bill. Interestingly shortly there after he announce that he wasn't going to be running again so maybe I was the reason, or at least I would like to think so.
Some corrections. Most people seem to hunt public land or at least where I am although it is outside city limits. Also most types of hunting requires getting the correct license in my state even if you are hunting only on your own. As far is shooting up when hunting deer that seems fairly odd to me as the best places to be when hunting are up high. I set my stand up on top of a hill in a tree and it is ~14 feet down to the top of the hill and about 40 to the bottom. This makes it much harder for the deer to see you and also usually gives you a better shot at the deer.
I remember reading years ago reading that there was one conservation group that had put more land under conservation that almost all others combined (it may have been just limited to the US I forget). That group was Ducks Unlimited, but other hunting organizations like Pheasants Forever also are big in land conservation. From my experience with both groups they do a good job of preserving land for wildlife habitat and try to improve it so that the animal populations thrive. Also they don't have the John Muir view on conservation which would basically be a tree zoo.
I would probably say beyond about 100 meters and for sure beyond about 200. When I started shooting shotguns I was taught that they really aren't effective with bird shot much beyond 50 meters but then I was using 2 3/4" #6 pheasant loads (lead).
Well if they mandated more math in high school it would go a long way. When I was in high school only 2 years of math was required and the math that most students took was geometry and then some sort of applied math class that taught you the basics of math that you would have used every day. So I would say have a class on logic and Boolean algebra, maybe some additional discrete math, or a general class on algorithms but beyond that most kids won't get anything out of it.
I like to jokingly tell people that I have a degree in applied math as I have a CS degree.In truth a proper BS in CS is closer to an BS in Math than just about anything else for example I was 3 courses from having a dual major in CS and Math and just wanted to be done with college instead of stay an extra semester and get the double major.
* Want to put in 16 characters for a password (think passphrase)? Nope, not allowed because some idiot thought you shouldn't be able to enter more then 8 chars.
Sounds like my old bank. If I want to be able to use an epic poem written in the original language (we do support Unicode, right?) I should be able to, or if I am reasonably smart I should be using a password vault and should be able to enter 128 random characters if I want but far too many sites like to have a limit on password strength. I also like the stupid security questions they present as I just use them as an added source of entropy and are filled with other random chars. It is rather interesting when someone attempts to brute force your account and it ends up getting locked and you have to call the service center though.
I'll stick with the Raging Judge for my anti-bear side arm. If a.454 Casull can't get it done you probably need to get eaten by the bear anyway. Besides.410 shotgun shells are fun.
That would be an issue in Minnesota. Here our law defines a firearm as a something that shoots a projectile using compressed gas, explosive, or a spring. I believe that this follows the federal regulations so it would seem that it would require new laws to regulate them. Also interestingly enough as this would be classified as a firearm one could legally build a fully automatic one and not fall afoul of the law.
I thought about going for the dual major but I just wanted to be done and not stay another semester to get the math major. Had I not been paying for it myself I probably would have gone for it but working full time and going to school full time is really draining.
A real Comp Sci degree should look more like an applied math degree than anything else. I know when I got mine from the school I went to you got a math minor as well but were only 3 math courses from having a second BS in math as well.
Every percentage point of the electorate that votes for a governor lets him sign one bill, and every percentage point for a representative lets them vote for one bill?
So you're saying you want larger more incomprehensible bills then?
As others have mentioned both Grover's and Shor's algorithms which do better than regular brute force when applied to the correct type of cryptography. For symmetric key crypto it makes the problem substantially easier as in it effectively halves the key length. Even effectively halving the key length would require brute forcing the rest of the work, assuming the algorithm isn't broken in other ways. For asymmetric key crypto like RSA it is broken as prime factorization is trivial using quantum computers. The issue around elliptical curve public key crypto is that most believe it is compromised by the NSA with their choice of values so quantum computers aren't really needed there. For public key crypto there is still Lattice-based public key crypto which appears to be immune to quantum attack.
Blackjack and baccarat are also good games if you find the right rule set or situation. For blackjack you need to count cards and for baccarat you need to be paying attention as it is basically an even game but if you are lucky where only 0 value cards are left you bet tie big at the end of the deck and walk away from the table after you collect your huge pile of winnings. Also in general stay from anything that uses a PRNG as they suck harder than a black hole with daddy issues. Table games have better odds then those and are fun as there is human interaction with players and the dealer and/or casino staff which I like more than playing very simple video games.
Well AES, Twofish, serpent, etc. were all designed with quantum computers in mind hence the 256 bit key lengths. To brute force with even with quantum computers it takes more energy than can be reasonably harvested from our sun. What I wonder is if there are other weaknesses in symmetric key crypto that can be exploited with quantum computers that aren't a brute force attack. This is where the interesting results will happen.

In the 60's they had black women and Russians at the height of the Cold War. They had the first on-screen inter-race kiss.
Only on US television. The British got there almost 4 years earlier

Is it still even around?
From what I know of the guy it sounds like something he would do.

I didn't think that debt collectors could call businesses for personal debts.

As was my response, although far too many people would likely think that it was a great idea.

You mean transmission and oil pan magnets.

I thought they were basically grayish lizard humanoids who are the embodiment of pure evil, not to be confused with the ST:TNG and ST:DS9 Cardassians.
My bet is on a liquefied radioactive mass.

But it does serve to serve me ads.
