That's very good advice. I'm currently learning Latin. With any hope, I'll dig up a girlfriend who's also a native speaker in a few years. Goodbye. There is no time for me to waste.
What's worse is that my bank actually has "phone question" security in place. I can call them and place orders. But they will ask me security questions. Namely:
My account number.
My birthday.
A recent transfer from my account or the name of the guy at the bank dealing with my account.
In case you're wondering, the latter two are easily to find on a bank statement. Which I could easily get provided I have the ATM card (which, incidentally, also contains the account number).
My question how this is secure was met with "umm... well, when you explain it like that, it kinda ain't..."
Account number, check. Recent transfer, check. Birthday? Let's be friends on Facebook.
I personally have an alphanumeric password string with the aforementioned coding system that I convert some characters into leet for my password, retaining the alphanumeric as a fallback. The central problem that I now encounter is when several sites fail to accept passwords that are too short or that are too long.
No. 2+2=4 is merely a set of rules that every human educated in mathematics agrees upon because it is very useful indeed. Over time, 2+2 tool on a variety of meanings ( think 2+2 (mod 3) ). However, the gist of it still remains. The same goes for human rights. It is a social construct that allows a great number of people to live comfortably.
Nope, gravity is the scientific way of saying that everything sucks. cf. vacuum, the scientific way of saying that even when you don't have anything at all, it still sucks.
Remember, the cavity is closing up in 3 dimensions while the air has only one direction in which to escape. Rather than profound, it is an interesting phenomenon, and can possibly have some practical usage.
The case that proportional fonts are not good for programming. Ask yourself these questions before seriously contemplating switching over to proportional fonts:
Is it easy to distinguish between ; and:, and ' and "? Also, are,. distinguishable?
Does '' look like " ? What about `` ?
Is it easy, at a glance, to distinguish between [{}]()l\/V1!Ii|?
Of course, the Oo0Q characters too.
Monospace fonts gives width to characters like punctuation and parentheses which is undesirable in prose but essential in programming.
the 64-bit Flash Player 10 works almost fine in iceweasel in my (sid) Debian Linux machine --- it does not play sound (sometimes crashes) when some other application is using the audio server, and when it plays (with audio), other attempts to play audio fail. Do you have know what might have caused this?
It's a much better proposition than the reality that we have now. Really, I think that such a system will actually enlighten us to the fact that there is nothing worrisome with short copyright terms other than losing the pack rat sickness that made big media companies want long term copyrights.
Actually, I like to think that when we domesticate animals, we change their environment in such a way that the factors triggering the release of certain biological signals that make them feral. Rather than genetic, I think the change is mostly phenotypical.
Ahh, yes, you mean like Kim Jong Il? What about that monkey who gave us Bushisms? The fact is, there is smart, and then there is not-so-smart-but-we-still-think-they-are-smart-because-evolution-made-us-this-way. Need more examples? Why does Celeb TV rule the media?
In other news, the geographic north is moving eastwards relative to the magnetic north pole. Also, the magnetic south pole is moving eastwards. The geographic south pole is ALSO moving eastwards. Don't you just love spherical geometry?
I personally do not opine that there will be worrying change in our microbial ecology. Westerners have been consuming acidic foods for ages, including acidic tea, acidic coffee, acidic meat, and more recently, acidic soda. These foods alter the pH of our digestive tract, and correspondingly, our microbial ecology. But hey, we've survived. It can't be worse than an explosion in obese people, can it?
Yes, but the beauty of approximation is that as long as you don't extrapolate (which is highly unlikely to be necessary here), as long as it looks good enough like a power law, it follows a power law as far as you are concerned.
Also, for the English Grammar as Mathematical Notation impaired, what the relation states is this: n = p^{-2.5} where n is the number of casualties. I was confused as to why 2.5 was positive.

IIRC, they were originally deciding to settle on Ogg but the first signs of this American Corporate Politics fight made them settle at no standard.

Y'know, that seems fairly secure to me, as long as nobody catches you staring at the serial for too long.

What's the worst that could happen to our cow? Croak like a bullfrog?

What? Never forget that Grecian Unix lost out because its copyright owners got into a civil war, allowing the Romans to invade them.
X/Open vs. OSF; Achaean vs. Aetolian
Actually, that's a poor allusion. Linux more parallels the Romans than the Closed Source OSes.

More likely: the AC gave us the IP of goatse.cx, which is actually hosted on ervage.net.

Not newsworthy. Not newsworthy at all.
Try this
So... how many Libraries of Congress worth of culture have we lost?

I can see an abuse of sprintf() some in handy... Where it normally does sprintf("Insert comment here"), typing "%s" will, well.
