The government would waste hundreds of man-hours in committee meetings discussing the problem and looking for a solution, rather than spend $1000 to solve the problem. This also holds true for many corporations.
Some cops just seize everything remotely relevant to the warrant. They aren't stupid. It's easier to just take everything. It punishes the target of the warrant and disrupts their life/business. Why bother with a trial?
The largest block number supported by the I/O interface is not dependent on whether you are running a 32-bit operating system. There have been various limits for IDE and SCSI controllers, depending on what version of IDE/SCSI was implemented, firmware limits/bugs, BIOS limits/bugs, etc.
Sometimes it's just the simple arithmetic that it is cheaper to keep a career criminal behind bars than to release him when you take into account the cost of his crimes to society. Someone who supports themself with a life of crime can impose very large costs on society.
I misread the parent post. I'm so used to people saying that we can just change time_t from 32 bits to 64 bits that I didn't pay attention to what it actually said.
Your "simple" solution also changes the size of every struct that has variables of type time_t. Now there are a bunch of programs that are writing files that are no longer compatible with the files written by their pre-fix versions, and the other programs that read those files are blowing up because they were written to process files in the old format.
Most of the cost of providing local service is traffic insensitive. The telephone company has to maintain wires, poles, switches, etc, whether or not you are using them.
Because it is in their interest for a movie to never show a profit. It's called Hollywood accounting. Eddie Murphy called profit-sharing based on net profits "monkey points". Real players get a percentage of the gross.
You should follow your own advice. In many cultures, men are excluded from participation in childbirth. It is very common for it to be a "women only" event.
The water would protect temperature sensitive items from being burnt, like documents and bank notes. I'm not sure what damage the shock wave would cause to the contents of the safe. It probably would do bad things to gems and jewelry.
I've never seen that movie, although now that people have mentioned it, I'll have to look for it.
I read it on the Internet while looking for information on how explosives have been used to open safes. It's a real problem. How do you use the force of the explosives to do useful work in opening the safe, instead of just destroying the building? Duct taping some explosives to the door of the safe is not going to accomplish anything.
The safe could be easily filled with water by inserting a small plastic hose into the hole and attaching the other end of the hose to a water pump.
The most interesting method I've read about involved drilling a small hole in the top of the safe, filling it with water, and detonating a small explosive charge inside the safe. The hydrostatic pressure burst the safe open without damaging the contents.
When I was a kid, my friends and I put an ordinary paper firecracker inside a wooden box, about the size of a cigar box, and secured the lid. To our surprise, the box spontaneously disassembled itself into its component parts, which travelled outwards at high speed. All of that from a firecracker that would only cause minor burns if you held it in your fingers when it exploded.
Piracy, the real sort, is a major problem in many parts of the world. Hopefully this will help. There isn't much difference between a pirate and a terrorist when they are attacking a vessel.
They've run a number of show dedicated to previews, but they still do a lot of reviews. For any given game, it usually appears on the show once as a preview (beta version) and once as a review (release version). They aren't shy about trashing bad games, which is something I appreciate. I've seen too many gamer magazines and web sites that rarely give anything a bad review.
An ad paid for by the same movie companies that put the painter and stuntman out of work by producing as many movies as possible outside the United States. They don't shoot movies in Toronto because of its wonderful year-round climate.
That depends on the compiler, the target and its options. I've programmed systems that ran faster with 16-bit code because of slow busses and memory. You have to approach it on a case-by-case basis sometimes. Know the requirements, run some test cases and pick the best options. Sometimes, due to external factors, you don't have a choice.
It's possible that the capacity limits in the software were more complicated than what type was selected for a few variables. How many other things were dependent on the maximum number of changes per month? Increasing the limit may have resulted in a program that could no longer meet other requirements for memory usage and run-time. Crew scheduling sounds like one of those problems that doesn't scale linearly. The worst-case scenarios when the software was designed may not match present conditions.

That's true, but one benefit of the lawsuit is that the company usually changes its behavior, correcting the problem that triggered the lawsuit.

What's so special about the bulbs in projectors? That's an insane amount of money for a fancy light bulb.
My experience is that CRTs give me eye-strain and headaches. I can look at a good LCD display for many hours without problems.

In their next issue, another physicist proves that bees can't fly. Any empirical evidence to the contrary is just superstition and mass hysteria.
Many devices need the year for event logs. A y2k bug probably wont crash the system, it will just produce corrupted log entries.

Sorry.

See nucleosynthesis.
That's an Earth-centric point of view. It is being created every time there is a supernova.

Ideal for making the Brownies of Doom.
