There is a naive assumption that individuals, even police, are not going to be driving around entire cities continually taking photos and posting them permanently online.
Why are you all so obsessed with Penrose's tiling?
To quote Wikipedia:
A Penrose tiling has many remarkable properties, most notably:
It is nonperiodic which means that it lacks any translational symmetry. More informally, a shifted copy will never match the original exactly.
Any finite region in a tiling appears infinitely many times in that tiling and, in fact, in any other tiling. This property would be trivially true of a tiling with translational symmetry but is non-trivial when applied to the non-periodic Penrose tilings.
It is a quasicrystal: implemented as a physical structure a Penrose tiling will produce Bragg diffraction; the diffractogram reveals both the underlying fivefold symmetry and the long range order. This order reflects the fact that the tilings are organized, not through translational symmetry, but rather through a process sometimes called "deflation" or "inflation." (My emphasis)
Are you suggesting that Microsoft would actually go through the trouble of "stacking the deck"?
Not at all! It's just a Microsoft certified deck, containing only hearts: 50% aces, 30% kings, 10% queens, 9% jacks and some Balmers - err, jokers. It's a perfect deck - any deviation from expectations is your own fault.
How do all these aliens actually pull off the secrecy... amidst all these people that LUST for its exposure?
This because those "people" are the aliens. By claiming aliens exist, they know humans will brand them nut-jobs;
the occasional slip-up (tentacled wardrobe malfunction, oozing green slime etc.) will be brushed off as just an attention-seeking stunt. It's brilliant!
If you think posting photos of yourself vomiting over the cat on MyFace/SpaceBook is a good idea, don't whine if your future employer disagrees with you.
(Perhaps you know you're getting old when creating a "Who gives a shit?" macro is a useful time-saving device.)
I think you'll find the more likely scenario is Linden Labs will stand up a special server, b-ark.secondlife.com, for both users that want an "undesirable"-free SL experience and the rest of the population can get on with whatever it was they were doing.
For all the media hype about flying penises and furry sex, you have to go out of your way to actually find any. Maybe if you stopped searching for "BDSM" and "Dolcett" (whatever that is - an Italian motor scooter?), the "problem" would solve itself.
One of the space documentaries on Discovery recently had footage of an Apollo veteran saying exactly that, and that after the moon landings it drove them nuts to work on Skylab.
Newsflash: Science "boring", unglamourous. Film at 11.

How do you sex a bike?
An observer could even be automatically tethered to the missing person.
Or you could just tether the kid to the parent with a kiddy leash.
It's rare, but it does happen. Had one today on a RHEL5 server: "modprobe eeprom", splat.
The fact is 90% of the bleeding hearts would have been all over it if it ...
Maybe next time they could arrange for the bleeding hearts to be under it.
Just as long as the ATHLETES are NOT on steroids, and the COMPETITION ITSELF is real... that's all I care about.

Fixed that for you.
That's not smog, that's smoke from the rain dispersal rockets (which clearly weren't used for the women's road race.)
Yes, we all want World Peace and and End to Hunger as well.
I've never heard of those projects - are they on SourceForge?
He sounds like an Old Testament kind of guy: smite it into submission.

But mostly because they're cool.
Apparently they keep getting interrupted by an unwanted man in the middle.
Green (screen of death), sickly sweet, tastes funny and leaves you with a nasty headache - I don't think it's just a name.
Sorry, I was distracted by the picture of the BREASTS on TFA page
Fake breasts - don't get too excited (particularly if you have Adblock Plus and Filterset.G installed, in which case you won't see anything.)

Unsurprisingly, faulty DSDTs often have a MSFT creator code. YMMV.

It even moves the shutdown button elsewhere and put a standby button in its place.
It's part of Big Balmer's reeducation campaign:
War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength; Standby is Shutdown; Vista is Good.

Try AdBlock Plus (with or without FilterSet.G).
You soon forget how bloody annoying the Internet has become until you're forced to use a browser without it installed.
Believe it or not, "a single photon" isn't as small of an amount of light as you'd think.
Oh? Is there a smaller amount of light than a single photon?
...though making a high quality steel tool from rust is significantly easier than making a weapon from yellowcake.
I dunno, 550 tonnes of yellowcake in barrels - all you need is a giant gorilla and you're set.
