I think I can safely say that beating an animal to death would pretty much ruin any meat in it.
There's this delicacy in the Philippines... I forget what it's called but, basically it's chicken that's beaten to death. Didn't ruin the meat, though, as you claim, in fact, the meat becomes leaner—red meat where white meat should be.
I don't know if its different if they beat the chicken _after_ its dead, but those guys in the provinces say a chicken beaten down by a maniac tastes better, but I don't really know...
I'm not saying we all beat up livestock for meat... but still, some people do it.
Funny how a post against "Educated" liberals gets a -1 Troll, and the exact same post with 'liberals' replaced with 'conservatives' gets a +5 Insightful.
Now I understand how Bush won twice, they just trolled the polling centers.
They don't have to taint a classic just because they ran out of ideas, they could just base it off the premise, change names and release it as something else.
...most CAPTCHAs are already and obviously violating of the Americans with Disabilities Act...
The main problem here is that a hell of a lot of websites are not within American territory, thus NOT required to follow the Americans with Disabilities Act. Not saying that this shouldn't be fixed, but not a lot of people are that considerate, especially if it means more work for them. I guess if enough people request for the feature, they'd do something about it.
The solution is to hunt down those who misuse weapons and make them incapable of or unwilling to continue.
How do you propose that this be done? There are a lot of different problems to consider:
Let's say the US actually tries to implement laws/hunter killers to deal with this problem, what can they do if the criminals are beyond the enforcers jurisdiction, as a vast portion of the net is outside US territory.
Criminals are not discouraged by cops, bank robbers, serial killers and college students with Internet access have proven this already.
Government and/or large corporations almost always misuse power given to them. (i.e. RIAA/MPAA and the DMCA)
and quite a bit more I haven't thought of
Of course I understand that we can't let the spammers win, what we have to do is to apply ingenuity and creativity to try solve this problem. Sure, they'll devise ways to circumvent defenses, but they'd attempt to fight head-on, too.
Anyway, our developing defenses and them answering in kind would spur technological evolution.
If I understood right, the main problem is that even though an entire disk is encrypted, unencrypted data is often stored in RAM, and this fact could be used to access private data stored in the computer. But wouldn't this be solved by writing random bits to RAM at shutdown?
Two questions:
Will writing random data on memory wear it out too quickly?
What are the drawbacks of just filling memory with random bits upon shutdown?
Since they decoupled a lot of the win32 libraries with the kernel, I'm also expecting a WIndows 7 Netbook version, which may probably use some sort of subset of the full API.
I'm pulling this out of nowhere however, just pure conjecture.
Shit, I think they're really asking for a damn shutdown. The things the way they are now, I really think they don't like making games anymore.
I say we just destroy that shithead company: post amazing fucks, screws, damns and shits in their forums, get banned, then download/enjoy all their games from thepiratebay.org
If this won't make them bend, nothing else will.
And right now, I think I might as well say goodbye to my positive karma...
Actually, sharing legally purchased music with friends and net-met acquaintances only became illegal when they decided that they could make more money if they got legislation to back them up.
What's wrong with their business model is that they chose to stick with it even when technology (and bandwidth) progressed and pushed their model into obsolescence. They're using their huge mountains of amassed wealth on those hogs in congress so they don't need to change their crappy model.
Slowly but surely, record labels are becoming the new Dark-Age Christianity, who use their clout to kill innovative ideas, like, for example, the fact the world is round.
Then after a while people will start to smile nervously around Vista-controlled machines, saying: "We have to always think happy thoughts around Vista...", otherwise, they get teleported to an endless corn field, never to return

...and turn this "feature" into an extension, so we who will _never_ need it, won't feel the bloat.
They're living backwards in time, dude. They think that the year of Linux on the Desktop will have been 1972.
That's better
Funny how you seem to recall that, damn, people on /. really need something to do.
No, Suicide (tm) is a trademark of Death Co., makers of Euthanasia and Genocide.
That or the LHC makes one first.

Yep, a Heinlein movie would be great! They should make Stranger in a Strange Land. The orgies would be epic!

How strangely appropriate to the topic...

Two questions:
Don't you see!? The attacker has easy physical access to your computer! Every airport you go to, every checkpoint you pass by!
Chances are, if you make any wrong moves, they physically screw you, too
Hey, maybe there's something to this. Imagine a transportation system requiring only a vast amount of viagra and willing men.
People of the future may actually travel the universe by shimmying up someone's penis.

and a new, very disgusting, futuristic meme
Can I register in EA forums just to start some cuss shelling?

GOTO remains the best way, in most programming languages, to exit multiple loops, branch to common clean-up code before leaving a function, etc.
Wouldn't say most languages, but loads of languages are, I guess, older than Dijkstra...
Isn't one of the greatest benefits of open source, the hordes of community developers ready to monkey around with the code for free/cheap?
What self-respecting coder would contribute to this project, if not only to create backdoors to it?
This entire thing seems more than pointless to me
...if I'm alive, it will be because we will have some pretty advanced medicine, capable of handling the increased radiation effects.
Not to mention a magnetic field generator that would replace the need for the Earth's magentic field
Wouldn't THAT be something to think about?
So the US can catch up in 5 decimal years
