Besides, you'll often get better results. In Japan, voice acting is a career all it's own; in the States, it's generally considered something you do when you can't find 'real' acting work.
And lets face it, Megumi Hayashibara doing Lime sounds different than Megumi Hayashibara doing, say, Faye Valentine. But Cam Clarke always sounds like Cam Clarke; Max Sterling. It's jarring to hear Max Sterling in Metal Gear Solid, Max Sterling in He-Man, and so on.

Defend against future attacks. Defend against the calcification on thought.
What is developed through working with this virus well help with similar, but differnet ones. Or give better theoretical understanding, and help figure out all sorts of new, unrelated knowledge; research is like that.
There is no knowledge that isn't worth knowing. The only problems lie in how you gather that knowledge, and what you do with it afterwords.
Somewhere else, a poster asks 'if the States is researching this, how are they different from China, Iraq, et all?' The answer is, they don't have a history of brutal and frivolous use of such things. Iraq does; they've been gassing their own people for years. The Iran/Iraq war saw lots of WMD attacks.
You say this can be weaponized and used for evil, I say so can a pair of scissors. Should office supply stores now be invaded?
If this were a slashdot story titled "Sys admin continues computer vulnerabilty reasearch," slashdot would be applauding. To defend, you must know how to attack. No, they might not use the specific buffer overflow you're playing with, but you know what to do, now, with buffer overflows in general, have a better idea how to identify new ones, and how to prevent them from happening in the future.
Well, it's RAID in that it's mirrored, and there are pitfalls in the way that it handles replication (and what do you expect, we're talking arbitrary data files here, not database transactions) but for what the original poster asked for, DFS is perfect.
I'd read this as 'could you walk into five appropriate stores, and find X at one or more of them?'
In other words, the Sega Saturn would be not covered by the DMCA according to the above statement; it can't be bought commercially. The Dreamcast would be, as would the Playstation One; they're still available at Wal-Mart or Toys'R'Us. Give the DC another year or two though....
Yes, there are really no digital TV stations in the US.
And with CDs, it took 20 years for them to become a remotely mainstream thing. But it's not like the world was running out of vinyl or casette tapes. Broadcast spectrum, on the other hand...
As they say, it's a chicken and egg thing. Consumers do want digital, but they can't buy digital TVs as nobody sells them due to lack of digital stations. But stations don't move to digital because nobody has digital TVs.
And yes, they do have good technical reasons for moving to digital, such as putting more channels into the same bandwidth.
"Most people password their start-up sequence. I password my shutdown sequence. You only need to see study hall in the week before final projects are due, with some frat initiates running up and down the aisles yelling 'SHUT DOWN!' to understand why."
Or, from Dilbert, "Well, somebody has a voice activated PC. A lesser engineer would be jealous, but I'm just as happy without it. After all, I'd hate to accidently DELETE! a FILE!"
I can't think of the last time that the Canadian Army invaded a peaceful country. I can think of many times they went in country under UN auspices as peacekeeping forces, and I can think of many times they went in to defend foreign countries against foreign aggression.
Exactly. The aim of a war between nation states is to destroy each others ability to wage war, or to take territory and resources. If you have pinpoint accurate nukes, launched from the other side of the planet, and so does your opponent, you cannot do number 1 or number 2, hence, balance.
Hence, also, limitations on building 'first strike' capable weapons, to take out enemy nukes before they realize it (hence also stealth development; the Gulf War was as much about saying to Moscow "We can have nuke carrying bombers over Moscow, and the only way you'd know is the mushroom clouds") and limitations on anti-missle tech.
The aim of terrorism, conversely, is to sow terror. Having a dirty suitcase nuke carve the heart out of downtown Major City, USA would serve that purpose nicely.
Many excluded items in the robots.txt file involve mentions of Iraq, possibly to prevent people from finding changes to past statements and information when archived elsewhere."
Or maybe, just maybe, they're doing it to save their server from being constantly crawled by paranoid conspiracy-theorists looking for changed statements and information.
Then, as they re-offend, the sentance lengthens. Imagine a week of logged in time. Then a month.
Tie accounts to credit card numbers to make it more difficult to simply abandon an account and make a new one; "We're sorry, but you can create no new characters until L0rdSuxx0rZ6969!!!!1!!!!1!! has completed his jail time."
Perfect fix? Of course not. Might help? Definately.
Of course, the other option is to allow for lynch mobs; if fifty players all click the 'lynch' button for a specific char within, say, five minutes, said char gets hung.
The BB in a plane is completely different than the one in a car.
An aircraft BB is a complete record of all instruments, as well as a vocal recorder from the cockpit; useful to hear the pilots yelling 'holy crap, the controls aren't responding!'
The BB in a car is actually the engine computer simply dumping what it's doing to flash RAM when the airbags deploy. A core dump, if you will.
What do you do in real life when the average person is unable to legally stop criminals from performing crimes? Elevate some people to above-average status, with legal enforcement powers granted, and let them deal with the problem.
The ability to throw an avatar into a featureless 'jail' room for an amount of login time (not a week of real time; the avatar must be logged in and active for the amount of time of the sentance; 24 hours means being logged in sitting in 10x10 grey room for 24 hours, not logging in a day later) would certainly stop the 'joyriders' or casual greifers.

1: The whole point of the shell is to link together many separate bits to perform actions. Note the UNIX style of 'one utility, one function.'
2: Windows does this sort of thing through objects.
3: Therefore, the Windows shell should be able to call said objects, and do things with them.
After all, the difference between "cat file1 | sort" and "myfile.Sort()" is, well, there isn't.

Well, it's RAID in that it's mirrored, and there are pitfalls in the way that it handles replication (and what do you expect, we're talking arbitrary data files here, not database transactions) but for what the original poster asked for, DFS is perfect.
If you look further into DFS, I believe you'll find that you can have multiple servers syncronizing the same share name.
It's pretty snazzy; it'll even try to figure out the 'closest' server to you at any given time, skip over servers that are down, and so on.
I believe that Windows 2000's Distributed File System allows you to do just this.

Especially given that he's trying to make his employer look bad, or make fun of them.
Take a look at analog cell phones vs digital, for a parallel.
As they say, it's a chicken and egg thing. Consumers do want digital, but they can't buy digital TVs as nobody sells them due to lack of digital stations. But stations don't move to digital because nobody has digital TVs.
And yes, they do have good technical reasons for moving to digital, such as putting more channels into the same bandwidth.
That's because they enslave sentient holograms.
At least, according to Voyager. Ignore it as you will; I won't blame you.

Yes, so long as reasonable steps are taken to provide the appropriate level of security.
In Valve's case, reasonable steps wern't taken.

That assumes two things: 1) that the other people with the bomb are rational according to your definition, and b) they're afraid to die.
What would prevent, say, Osama from nuking the States if he could? What are you going to do, nuke him back?

Pick some people who seem trustworthy, deputize them, and let them help keep the peace.
If they start screwing up, you undeputize them. MUDs called this 'trust,' as I recall; seems to be the .hack style, as well.
