Well that gives about 4,800 Trillion IPv6 addresses per star...(3.4e38 addresses/7e22 stars = 4.8e15 addresses per star)
I find the fact that each star would have about a million times the current (4.2 billion) IPv4 address space an interesting thought when it comes to realizing the size of IPv6 address space.
Or, to bring this post a little closer to the topic on hand, each grain of sand (on earth) could have 4.8e16 addresses, or 10 million times the total number of IPv4 addresses.
I hope thats not a law in the US, I would think that the ACLU would pounce on something like that. A law like that would basically prevent people confined to wheelchairs (electric ones at least) from drinking.
If it is a law does that New York City law about confiscating people's cars apply?
Well, even though they may be price-fixing, the fact remains, they are still selling sufficiently large numbers of cd's to make it worth it to them. Frankly, If a number of companys want to conspire to sell a luxury, such as CD's, at insanely high prices, more power to them. I for one will simply be one of those who ignores their products and might seek out cheaper replacements. Now if these companies were selling things like bread, well that could be different....
Inflated rate? Why do so many people gripe about the so called "inflated cost" of CD's, DVD's etc? The people selling the CD's are selling them at the price they think will make them the most money. Yes, demand would rise if the price was decreased, but their (the seller's) opinion is that the increased demand would not offset the lower price. Basic capitalism and economics, plain and simple.
Now if people don't like that they can simply not buy the product, encourage their friends to do so as well, and maybe the demand will drop enough to cause the price to drop.
Well Actually, the original combat sub, the H.L. Hunley, was basically a battering ram with a bomb on the end.
For those that are unfamiliar with it, the Hunley was used by the Confederates during the US Civil War. It was the first submersable vehicle to sink an enemy ship, a feat that was not repeated for another 50 years. It was lost at sea in 1864 and finally found 3 years ago. Link
Now what taxes would you be refering to? Income tax? What about the unemployed? They have not right to vote? Now if you mean any tax (income, sales, capital gains, etc), well then that is most likey some hermit living off the land on a mountain some place. And I really doubt he's even going to bother to vote...
Umm... phone numbers aren't exactly hard to guess... All area codes and their corresponding (used) exchanges are easy to find. Just pick a block, fire up a multiline war dialer, and you will get people no matter how well they guard their phone #. Of course, you will get invalid numbers, but once you find those, flag them and narrow your list down.
How does a makeing a device run some OS (Linux CE, WinCE, etc) have any effect on its external interoperability? Part of the problem requires a common hardware interface (i.e. EIA232, USB, IEEE-1394,ethernet) The other part involves a common command language so that they can tell each other what to do.
Mind you, neither of these issues are affected by the use or non use of linux on a system. They can, and infact should be able to be implimented on devices that don't have an OS.
(Hey.. be nice to those Sony VTRs.. Some people still use them...)
Well if it is uncorruptable so that it is immune to a virus, then it can't be patched or upgraded. If there is a method for patching there is (technically) a method for viruses to enter.
In other words: You can't have a door and guarentee only one person can enter said door.
(Ya I realize that wasn't exactly what you were saying...)
Well true, the rest of the world doesn't (Though I think i remember hearing about the EU working on their own version but I digress...). So as long as they don't plan on traveling to the US for any reason they should be pretty safe. Because if they arrive here they are fair game.
I'd say that would amount to a publicly funded toll road, which if not illegal or unconstitutional certainly ought to be.
Toll roads can and(some) do recieve funding from public sources. NYS Thruway is an example of such. Now mind you the eBay thing is stretching that idea a bit....
Actually that applies to most any unsolicited item.
If the merchandise was truly unordered, whether or not marked as a gift, the recipient may use or dispose of the items as desired. -
NYS BBB
While the above is specifically New York, other states have similar laws. So the recipient can actually do anything he feels like, including wiping his a** with it...

Fine.. And please give us back that 30% we gave you. Personally I would see no effect if everything outside N. America was cut off the net.
But hey.. thats just my view from this continent. What does it look like across the pond?
Mind you a fortune 500 company dissapearing overnight would most likely be a bad thing economy wise...

Thats why these things tend to have off switches...

Well the word "paging" appears to fit with room to spare. 8 letters to spare based on the line above it.
I'd personally be more concerned about the sewage system. Most toilets tend to empty alot faster than they refill.

One of the five has been made into a very popular video game?
Well at least I'm not the only one who thought the title was about television...

While that may be true of Apple users, It can also easily be applied to users of other OS's as well...

Well sir, you are a fool then.Holywood video has no need of your SSN. You can, and infact should refuse to give to give it out to such companies.
While your point that it actually isn't sercure is true, that doesn't mean that actively distributing such information is a good idea...
You know this from experience?

Ahh make more sense now...
XP/2K support shell scripts and cron jobs?
