I wouldn't worry too much about the possibility of raising animals solely to turn into fuel. It would be much more effective/cost less to just take the feed that you would have fed the fuel animal and turn that into fuel instead.
The only reason that particular argument doesn't work on meat-eaters is taste. The fuel machine won't have that hang-up.
Typically you would combine traffic analysis with another type of surveillance resulting in a scenario like: Hmm, the last two times that diablobynight has run out of money only to mysteriously get some more there was an encrypted email from him to sales@internationalshipping.ath.cx in the preceding day. This internationalshipping.ath.cx warrants further investigation.
For example, can the State sue a driver if a car break fails and it provokes an accident?
It isn't the State doing the suing in either the question at hand or your hypothetical question.
In the question at hand the party doing the suing is an entity that feels that its intellectual property rights have been infringed upon.
In your hypothetical question, the driver with the failing brakes would be sued by whoever he hit (and his insurance company would be the one to fight it or pay).
And the driver could probably sue a number of entities: the car manufacturer, the car dealer, the mechanic who last worked on his brakes, etc. This action might also be handled by the insurance company.
A lot of posters have been criticising the USPO for not scrutinizing the contents of patents passing through their system closely enough. I would suggest that having the USPO carefully examine each patent passing through its system for prior art, obviousness, etc. goes way outside the bounds of their job.
IMO, as long as the patent is properly addressed, has sufficient postage, and doesn't set off the anthrax detectors, the USPO should move it straight through the system just like the rest of the mail.
I would disagree with the monochrome laser printer comment. The bonding of the toner to the paper in a monochrome laser printer is far superior to what you get from a color laser, making documents printed on a monochrome longer lasting.
I thought it was because the Smart won't pass US safety regulations. I seem to recall something about lacking 5mph bumpers or something else like that which makes them not be "street-legal".
Encrypted data doesn't compress well, compressed data doesn't compress well. Both encryption and compression reduce the redundancy of the data.
Encryption algorithms don't usually compress data, but encryption systems tend to compress the data before encrypting it. Not only does it make for smaller messages, but for some cryptosystems, lowering the redundancy of the input tends to make the output less susceptible to known plaintext analysis/attack.
The reason why Presidential term limits are constitutional and Congressional ones are not is because the Presidential limits are in the form of a Constitutional amendment (the 22nd). The only way to Constitutionally impose term limits on Congress would be the same way, via an amendment.
The likelihood that such an amendment would ever happen is very slim. Congress itself is the source of most amendments, so any proposal to limit terms would most likely end up turning into a pay raise.
If you want a copy of the Mona Lisa for your living room, you can get one, because plenty of them are available for purchase.
The point the poster was making is that those few thousand people would love to purchase a copy of the work of art in question but cannot, because the corporation that owns the copyright isn't selling any. Furthermore, because that corporation owns the copyright, no one else can sell any new copies either, so for all intents and purposes, that work of art no longer exists.
Nope, temperature is a measure of the energy of a system. For normal objects it manifests itself as the oscillation of the atoms making up that object. At absolute zero the atoms are motionless.
Infrared radiation is a mechanism of heat transfer. Hot objects radiate in more than just the infrared though. The infrared range just happens to be where the peak for black-body radiation for objects with typical earth temperatures lies. Hotter objects (such as an incandescent lamp) have peaks at higher frequencies such as the visible range and beyond.
Weight might not be a big issue once you are actually in space, however, it is a huge issue when it comes to getting there. The currently used number for launch price is around $10000 a pound to get into low earth orbit.

I find the real interesting part to be the plans to buy plutonium from Russia.
Why, I can remember a time when Russia was ready to GIVE us more plutonium than we needed for free. And with delivery times comparable to that of a pizza. What has the world come to?
I think that Fritz persuaded himself into believing that "quality of the signal" was equivalent to "quality of the content encoded onto the signal". And of course even that delusion depends on the "no content without protection" mindset to make it "necessary or appropriate".
Hopefully the FCC will be able to recognize the mistaken interpretation and file both letters in the appropriate (round) recepticle.
I'd look into what IBM did to get multiple instances of Linux running on a mainframe. It might be possible to modify their code to run on a standard PC. Then it should be possible to associate each interface with one of the instances.

I would agree that Yahoo! is confused. When I had this problem and sent an email to the postmaster account, that email also bounced with the excessive unknown recipients message.
According to the article, it doesn't keep track of state on the machine doing the tarpitting, so although the attacker is using up connections, the LaBrea machine is not.

The quote is from Animal House. IIRC it was the John Belushi character after their frat house was closed by order of the Dean for various violations.
Both of you are more or less correct.

- Line-ending conversions
- ASCII <=> EBCDIC conversions (which is what initially got me)
- Unicode <=> ASCII conversions
- Built-in ftp

Awesome program for working with data files as well as programming.Part of the script would be to check for changes. No changes = no connect.
