I personally have not worked with it, but Latexki is a Wiki that is basically a latex-rendering frontend for a SVN server. So it can do the entire latex syntax, and you can either submit changes by wiki or by SVN.
What it lacks, and what made me go for mediawiki, were the missing advanced interface features for editing, such as editing only a section of a document.

I do not get the advantages of this system over the one-time pad. Is there anything this quantum key system could do that a courier carrying a terrabyte drive with a one-time pad once in a while could not?
The quantum key may not be interceptable in theory, but you still have to trust the sending and receiving equipment not to leak anything. Auditing equipment advanced enough for quantum encryption sounds quite a bit harder than auditing a sealed box with a harddrive and a chip doing XORs for a one-time-pad. And people with the neccessary trust and clearance AND the skills in quantum physics should be harder to come by.
Plus the bandwith of the quantum channel is low, so they are only sending the keys, and send the encrypted data by normal channels. So you also have to trust the encryption algorithm, while an OTP is provably unbreakable.
i would guess that the power output is too small to overcome gravity nuclear batteries on probes have a very small output, barely enough for the onboard electronics. Nuclear subs on the other hand are immense and heavy. And nuclear subs have a much better temperature gradient to work with, since they have an infinite supply of water for cooling.
even better sumatra pdf does not lock the file while it is displayed, so you can edit it with pdflatex while keeping it open in sumatra pdf, and it will automatically update the display.

Yes, according to me. According to you, the watered down system is somehow better, but you do not give any reason.
That is why I asked you how the electoral college would protect the sheep from the wolves specifically: 1) if you assume the wolves outnumber the sheep, why do you think the sheep will control more states? 2) If the sheep somehow keep the wolves in check by the mighty powers of electoral college, what keeps the wolves from rebelling?
So far you only brought up known disadvantages of democracy. What you fail to show is how your prefered system does not have the very same disadvantages in addition to the added level of obfuscation.
Ask a black person living in the South during time of Jim Crow if there were more predators than pray animals.
Good thing they had the electoral college to protect them. And this was before the 17th amendment.
The idea is that raw democracy is little better than mob rule and the Founding Fathers originally set up a system that watered down the impact of raw democracy. For better or worse (I'm obviously arguing worse) we've gotten away from that.
My point is that while raw democracy may be mob rule, this "watered down" system is in no way better. The rule does not become more fair, it is just harder to tell which mob currently rules, because the system adds some obfuscation and a couple more disadvantages as distractions.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. I can't wait until we have more and more Democracy.
All the people who like to quote this (or is it always the same poster?) fail to point out how the current system is in in any way better.
Is the idea "if we can somehow put all the wolves in the same state, and spread out the sheep over the other states, then the wolves will be totally powerless to have sheep for dinner, no matter how many of them there are"?
1) if you assume the wolves outnumber the sheep, why do you think the sheep will control more states? 2) If the sheep somehow keep the wolves in check by the mighty powers of electoral college, what keeps the wolves from rebelling? 3) What screwed up ecosystem has more predators than prey animals anyway?

Actually population growth is declining. It is already negative in some countries, and will become negative in more soon If you substract immigration, the change becomes very clear
There is a strong negtive correlation between birth rates and living standards. Total world population is still going up, but that is mainly since the third world outnumbers the first world.
Raise standards of living in the third world, and you can expect birth rates to go down there as well. (There may be a temporary increase in population as child mortality goes down, but only until decreasing birth rates catch up a few generations later)
The technology is already being abused to spy on large public gatherings where there is no evidence of illegal activity.
so you propose the government is risking its newest, most expensive and top secret spy technology to spy on public gatherings?
Of course they could just send some guys with a camcorder without raising any suspicion whatsoever, since every other attender at any gathering will be taking photos anyway. or they could simply get the photos from flicker later.
``If a black hole with a positive electric charge comes near another black hole with a positive electric charge, the two will, IMHO, repel each other because the electrostatic forces are larger even than the gravitational forces that can pull everything up to and including light into the black hole.''
That would depend on the strength of the charges, of course. A few million electrons of difference in charge isn't going to do much to stop two black holes of a couple million kilos each from gravitating to one another.
IIRC if the black hole has a charge significant enough to repel another black hole, it will loose most of this charge quickly through hawking radiation. If the black hole is positively charged, and a pair of virtual particles is generated next to it, the positive particle is much more likely to escape the pull than in the uncharged case, and vice versa.
There is also a maximum charge a black hole can have, but I do not remeber the details
since noone reads those terms of usage anyway, and in case of a shutdown customer satisfaction is irrelevant, what incentive would providers have to offer anything above what is required by law?
Storing of credit card number is prohibited, the only way in wich credit cards may be stored or transmitted is like this
($card_info + $merchant_name + $date) encrypted with the public key of $card_issuer
That would eliminate a large part of possible fraud. companies could still offer to reuse old credentials, but it would be transparent when they do this.
I actually had to RTFA because I could not figure out what on earth this is about. So, two couriers decide to steal a cake sent to a newspaper. To COVER the theft, they replaced it with a package intended to a bank, without even opening it. That package happened to contain microfilmed (?!) of transactions. This must be a hoax, the sheer stupidity of "hiding" a CAKE theft with a second theft. Then banks sending around transactions and customer data in MICROFILMS???? Am I missing something, or is this just a hoax?
That is pretty much the story as it was reported in several papers as truth.
A bunch of credit data on microfilm was indeed sent to a newspaper, this much is certain.
The cake swap story was later reported by the police after investigation.
It sounds completely absurd, but it is not a joke.
it might be a coverup story, but who would choose such an obviously bad story?
User: "Hi, I'd like to order $HIGH_SPEED_SERVICE." Tech: "Ok, cool. Are you going to run an SMTP server?" User: "Um... no, what's that?" Tech: *Puts user down for modem w/firewall that rate-limits SMTP and doesn't allow sending to noncommercial IP blocks*
Spammer: "shit shit shit, my bots can't send any email!"
Spammer: "Guess my bots have to use the ISP's SMTP relay servers,
which I can get from the User's mail clent.
It may be rate-limited, but it is better than nothing."
Spamfighter: "This SMTP relay server is used to spam, put it on the blacklist."
ISP Tech: "OK, so if spammers use our SMTP server, it will get blacklisted.
We can either block all mails from all users as soon as they are infected,
in which case they will get mad and may cancel.
Or we could unblock port 25 so spammers have no reason to use our SMTP server.
Now which of these would be cheaper and easier to do...?"
Slashdot Mirror
adblock plus would take care of that

The TO-header can and often will be set to anything by the spammers
So a lot of the spam that you get which does not contain your email address at all might have been sent to the x+spam@gmail.com alias
The envelope-to header is the one that cannot be forged, but gmail does not allow you to filter based on it.

That is like letting cities design their own traffic signs, or letting them decide on which side of the road you should drive.

I thought getting a new plants from a few cells was something possible for a long time, and quite easy?
Often simply putting a piece into soil has a gopod chance of success, and with the right chemical treatment, anything is possible?
This would imply the existence of these stem-cell like cells, but it does not translate that well to animals.
so you propose the government is risking its newest, most expensive and top secret spy technology to spy on public gatherings?
Of course they could just send some guys with a camcorder without raising any suspicion whatsoever, since every other attender at any gathering will be taking photos anyway. or they could simply get the photos from flicker later.
Any evidence for this claim?
solar wind will rip the atmosphere away at a scale of millions of years.
IF we find a viable terraforming process it will have to be quicker anyway to be of any use.
Solar wind is not a concern for terraforming mars
