The point is that the reasons given for the dietary laws are just human speculation. The Torah, and I assume the Koran, just say "Thou shalt not eat X", not "Thou shalt not eat X because...".
DES may be relatively insecure, but it is also the "worst case" for speed of encryption via software. That is why it is a useful choice for benchmarks.
I've read "Cracking DES". DES is still useful for many applications.
DES was approved for use in encrypting sensitive, but unclassified, information like personnel records. NSA's policy at the time was that only algorithms designed by the NSA were approved for use in encrypting classified information, and only when implemented in an NSA approved device. Skipjack was the first public algorithm that was approved for protecting (lower level) classified information.
What happens to all the CAD/CAM vendors who ported their software from Unix to Windows? I thought Microsoft decided to support OpenGL in order to encourage that migration?
The telephone company does the same thing, except they say that the problem "cleared while troubleshooting" when they reconnect the patch cable for your data line.
I use a time sheet web application that will only work with IE on Windows. IE on the Mac isn't "good enough". I don't know how they made it so picky about web browsers. It's a pain in the neck to have to find a Windows box with IE every time I need to update my time sheet.
Let's quit being fucking idiots. What do we need to do?
How about making policy based on science and rational thought, not romanticism and modern pseudo-religions like environmentalism and "new age" claptrap.
What GUI? Auto-configure worked OK if you followed DEC's guidelines for device addressing. The only thing ODT required was a break key, which used to be standard on teletypes and video terminals. If your system locks up from initializing a CSR with interrupts enabled, your code is broken.
The DVD remotes were expensive because that was how Microsoft handled paying the license fees for making a DVD player. Rather than include the cost in the base system, they included it in the cost of the remote.
There are legitimate reasons for doing that with certain types of batteries. Charging circuits designed for a specific battery pack may not work properly and safely with other battery packs, especially if the vendor took shortcuts to save a few nickels.

Dover Books seems to do a paper version of this. They reprint books that are in the public domain or that have been dropped by the original publisher. Their prices are much more reasonable than those charged by textbook publishers.
I'd like to see them reprint a series of classic textbooks that are now out-of-print, from the days when publishers didn't waste paper on fluff.
They have an effective monopoly in the school and college market for calculators, at least in the USA. That's why they can continue to charge so much for their graphing calculators, and why they have invested little money in improving their products.
There is a practical limit on how small you can make an advanced calculator and still have room for enough keys and a usable display.
My cellular phone maintains its own clock/calendar. It asks me if I want to adjust the time if it detects too large a difference between the clock in the handset and the clock in the base station.
My VCR can set its clock from the television signal. The problem is that it's a manual operation. You have to tune the VCR to a public television station and select the "set time/date" option on the programming menu. That also assumes that the television station has their time server set to the correct time. Some stations let it drift and never bother checking that it is correct.
See here for a atmospheric temperature profile for Mars. It can get close to 350K at high altitudes. You also get a lot of monatomic oxygen at the upper part of the atmosphere.

That's only if you want to drive it on public roads.

Your Grandmother's PC has more than enough CPU cycles to encrypt all of her network traffic. A 333 MHz Celeron can encrypt 7.771E6 bytes/second with DES. See Efficient Implementation of the Data Encryption Standard.

It's fuchsia, you philistine.
Tell that to the Poles, Finns and the citizens of the Baltic states. They might disagree with you.
Assuming I had one of these cars, where would I plug it in? I park my car in a parking lot, not a private garage attached to a single-family house.

I was puzzled by this one. What consoles and/or games keep track of the total time played? I've never noticed that feature.
There's a difference between SEXY and violating the laws of physics.

Would you really want to date a supermodel? I wouldn't.

Because it isn't a "real memo" unless it is printed on company letterhead, formatted according to the company's style guide.

NTSC was in operation for over a decade before PAL was introduced. Fscking idiots.
