For a change to evil you need both intent and action. It's not evil to think of breaking a window, it's not evil to accidentally break a window, it is evil to think about breaking a window and then break it. Make it a car window and we've also rolled the car analogy in to it;)
Perhaps I'm missing something and you're making a valid point but...
Doesn't public/private keys solve this problem. Encrypt with public key but can only decrypt with private key. Share public keys so anyone can send you an encrypted message but only you can decrypt it.
I'm sorry but they could solve/stop all these stupid debates in one fell swoop if they just had a seperate and different "Religious Studies" class. This does not force people to believe in god but actually allows them to debate theological issues, even for atheists it's a great lesson as it teaches them to understand others.p.s. I'm an atheist but still really enjoyed the lessons. I guess one proviso would be that you'd have to be allowed to question anything.
I've grown a passive disliking of the GPL that's probably quite unfounded. The reason why? Whenever there's an argument about licensing there's always someone shouting about the GPL the loudest with lots of facts and statistics.
It's quite similar to politics where the best argument doesn't always win *if* you lose the voters while trying to explain it to them. Of course in most cases licensing shouldn't be a political decision but a case-by-case breakdown of the features of each license.
You make good points until you get to this...
And what is considered childpr0n, maybe as well be nude pictures of man's 16 year old wife. That's the legal age to get married in some of the countries in the Middle East. When you're in someone elses country you generally follow their rules. If some country existed where you could take pictures of 3 year old naked children would you expect someone from that country to be able to keep these pictures in America?
It is probably still illegal to modify it to do something illegal. I suspect if I modify my car to fire rockets that even though I may never do it I would probably fall foul of the police.
I guess dual purpose (back-ups/pirate copies) gets around this though?

Your project management skills are outstanding. If only I had realised that I should assign every person to the same task rather than getting them to work on several tasks in parallel. If I put two people on a task and it takes 50% of the time then putting one hundred people must take 1% of the time!

Spot on actually, a perfect example. It's interesting though that even in the Black community some people say that the 'N-word people' are the bad people. I think it was a quite famous comedian but I wont include their name incase I'm wrong.
One of the safety mechanism in a nuclear reactor involves dropping the activated fuel rods in to a large tank of water rather quickly.
1. You'd have to force the rods down to get them in quick enough
2. You'd need a lot of water and in lower gravity/temperature the water will be less dense so you'll need some system so that it can absorb everything
I'm not familiar with breeder reactors but in the conventional reactor you're heating water to drive turbines, You'd have to build some closed loop system.
The temperature differences on Earth would produce some interesting challenges.
It's an interesting idea but my gut feeling is that He3 energy would be easier if you could get it going. PV is also fairly viable.
A friend of mine at some big name bank sent me some intersting e-mails about the possibility of said big name bank being taken over by other big name bank.
Interestingly he's been blocked from sending e-mails now but can still receive them!
In my ever so humble opinion I would say that anyone who is proud of being a Nerd, Geek or Dork falls in to the same category as someone who is proud of being ugly, stupid or [insert bad quality here].
Not equating those terms, just giving examples of things I wouldn't want to be.
To be clear - just because you have technical skills doesn't make you one of these people.
Flip this round and you're closer to reality. Everyone assumes it's a coding error until they realise someone in the infrastructure team decided to update the firmware on a router/firewall and it's failed. Three out of Six major failures I've seen have been router/firewall firmware related. The other three have been failing UPS systems.

Everyone knows ROT26 is more secure and consumes less CPU cycles to decode.
A hard disk is only used for journaling the transaction, everything else is kept in memory.
Most of our database tables are kept in memory while the system is up and we're talking upwards of 30GiB on the larger systems.
People running Intel can get Score: 7.35, Funny?
From my understanding of D&D it's not evil.
;)

Reminds me of something similar:
1. Walk up to someone and say "Give me your bag"
2. Person complies and gives you their bag.
3. Walk away, no crime committed.
The one time you can really add
4) Profit
You don't. What is the world coming to.
So by changing the context of the argument you can make an unrelated point and then accuse yourself of being a pedophile?
Strange.
So modifying hardware that you own is legal.

This website breaks the back button which is one of the highest sins a website can commit in my opinion.
Sounds similar to how re-incarnation is illegal so that if anyone claims to be a re-incarnated monk they can whack them straight in jail.

Quite interesting although I'm sure there's a whole raft of engineering problems when you're building a reactor in reduced gravity on the moon.

Fortunately we work with primary/standby servers.
Does this mean I have to leave my computer on running Neutrino@Home listening for Extra Terrestrials while destroying my home planet?
As soon as the OLPC installs free trial versions of Norton, AOL etc.
After all that's why it's cheaper to buy a Dell with windows than Linux.
Can we rewrite your entire user interface for you?
