I never have any problems with Skype over NAT. I converse Nat2Nat with my coworkers using Skype all day, every day. The NATs are all configured to forward ports 7419 and 24272 to the Skype box, in every case.
I'm still waiting for satellite photos of Fallujah to become available again. The last time the USDoD allowed private sales of IKONOS images was November 15th. I guess Fallujah is gone now. A city of 250,000 people, wiped from the face of the earth. It's pretty awesome.
Okay then, I'll explain it to you: The antecedent is not a conditional. Thus, it is explanatory. It states that an effectively organized militia is essential to the security of a free State, such as New Hampshire (hypothetically and prospectively). Since it is essential, we've added this explicit amendment to prohibit the federal government from infringing upon the right of the people to keep and bear arms. Thus, any legal restrictions on this human right (a direct consequence of the right to life, in the manifestation of the right to self-defense) must be constructed at the state level, and the existence of federal laws and regulations which infringe upon those rights is a patent demonstration that the federal government is operating with disregard for the laws which grant it authority. (I personally would add the immediate conclusion that since those laws are inoperative, the federal government no longer has legitimate authority.)
but, but... iSCSI has nothing to do with Ethernet. iSCSI is an IP protocol, and it could be running over anything that sends datagrams. FiDDI, HiPPI, Myrinet, la la la...
If you dislike iSCSI over Ethernet (and frankly, it's only interesting in low-performance cases where IP routing is important for WAN access to NAS, so I can understand your aversion), don't use it. But keep iSCSI in your toolkit. The interoperability and the option to route is extremely valuable.
C'mon, insightful? Ludicrous. Wait for 30 years, to allow all the easy prey to die off, and the same could be said for Java apps, or C#, or OCAML, whatever.
Selection of the fittest, man. COBOL, Fortran, and PL/1 died off because they could not compete. The apps they compiled live on, but only while they are competitive.
I think the great value of faraday sheilding for most people would lie in cutting down on interference from the outside world, rather than in preventing one's own data from leaking out. It's a great crapfilter.
> Sure, except that it's a receiver, not a transmitter. But beyond that, sure.
But with SDR, you can use reversible logic, and run it backwards, when you want to transmit. This has the advantage that you can reuse all the stored power from the forward run, reducing the power requirements to almost nothing.
I'm not sure why you think that God wants your worship. It seems to me a minor exercise to conclude that he does not.
The belief that God has not shown himself through some obvious means is exactly that, a belief, not a fact, and requires a leap of faith. It's a circular reference.
The ressurrection of Jesus Christ is the single best-documented event in the pre-electronic history of mankind. It's difficult to evade.

God certainly has shown himself. Occam's razor requires theism. Occam himself was a theist. As for your questions, I think you've inverted the relationship. You seem to have mistaked yourself for God.
The U.S. has plenty of political prisoners. Moreover, the system of law is so complex that any adult can be prosecuted for multiple felonies at any time. There is no reasonable hope of abiding by the law in the U.S. The purpose of that maze of legal brambles is political repression. Since the laws are putatively apolitical, but selectively applied only to the politically incorrect, the appearance of political liberty is maintained.
If I have the right to liberty, the right to a speedy trial follows.
I see no value or legitimacy in USAmerican practice of justice, but I greatly admire its foundational principles, now mooted by contradictory practice. Among the rights held to be self-evidently endowed upon man are the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, according to those foundational precepts. One can readily derive the vast preponderance of all useful and valid law from that basis.
Any discourse must begin with some common ground, or there is no possibility of dialog. For example, to attempt to reason with someone who denies the law of the excluded middle is patently futile. Those who deny your right to life cannot be reasoned with, they can only be restrained.
Indeed, IP "piracy" is the largest civil disobedience movement in history. Larger than the independence movement in India, and larger by far than the civil rights movement of the 1960s in the U.S. Well, it might not be as large as the war for drug freedom, but it's pretty close.
It's possible that God hasn't actually made the universe yet, you're just remembering the memories that he is going to create 500 years in the future when he does make it.
Sure, if AES has a backdoor, Tor has a backdoor. But, actually using the information gained from the backdoor means risking the exposure of the backdoor. If AES is backdoor'ed, there's no way the US Feds would use any sole-sourced information in a way that could give away that game, short of a need to avert a national holocaust of the nuclear or biological variety.

Sure, and then after you threw half of it away, you'll discover that it's made of Platinum-Iridium.
Holy crap. Who knew?
Since global warming has already been observed, I'd say the chances are about 1 in 1.
More interesting is whether a methane burp from clathrates will result in a cascade leading to a global extinction event during your lifetime.
