In the Peninsular War, the Spanish guerrileros were so effective that there were many areas where the French wouldn't send anything smaller than a battalion. It was this which massively weakened the French army, by making their entire supply chain unstable. Whilst the partisans didn't win the war alone, they were as important as the Anglo-Portuguese army, especially in the earlier years of the war.
I suspect there would be an option in about:config to allow the user to ignore autoplay=true, but it would be harder to prevent a script activating the player without disabling scripting altogether, or using a very complex set of rule to decide whether to respect the command.
It also means that if you post something which gets modded up as funny and down as overrated or troll, you end up losing Karma even if your comment score is still high.
Alternatively, make browsers download all the pseudoclasses for links, so that it is impossible for sites to use this to track users, but without removing the utility of having marked "visited" links. This could be done by browsers without needing any change to the standards, AFAICT.
The CS club at my uni used to host example solutions openly on their Wiki, although they seem to have disappeared nowadays, I don't know if this was intentional or deliberate. When I was involved with this, the department knew about it, but I never heard of any complaints at the time. Since the tutors were aware of the site, and IIRC some of them had even contributed answers, the answers weren't much use for cheating.
Also, there are those who like being able to do blue-skies research on whatever happens to interest them, with adequate resources and a wage, and who would rather have to teach some classes than find a way to do their research on their own time and money whilst working in the "real world". In my experience, there is a fairly even mix of good an bad teachers in this group, but they are fairly easy to recognise when you have one.
Amazingly, he only messed up once, although when he did he took down the test server it was running on, and nearly got himself suspended for doing so, as he had never explained to the staff what he was doing, and they saw code with a huge block of embedded crap in it, but luckily he was able to demonstrate that all his previous work had been done in the same way without problems.
ITYM "parse", but spelling Nazism aside, they are extracting the ideas from the pages (or at least trying to), not the expression of ideas, so copyright doesn't come into play (IANAL, etc.). This is just an attempt at automating the collation of existing research, and indeed similar ideas have been attempted in the past with smaller data sources, particularly in combination with other work in machine learning.
The most hardcore CS lecturer at my University, as an undergrad, hand-coded the opcodes for entire programs into arrays of floats which he then executed, in order to meet the requirements that programming assignments had to be submitted as Fortran. Since then he has only become more epic, and so his students have updated WWJD? to WWDKD? in his honour.
Python is nice for doing text scraping and other similar tasks, so it is a useful language to know if you, particularly if you have equipment which gives horribly formatted text files which you need to convert to a more sane format for processing. OTOH, I certainly agree that FORTRAN is the obvious choice for numerical work, just as C[++] is for bit bashing. It is all a matter of choosing a good language for each job, but those three will cover pretty much everything a non-programmer would need.
RTFA. He is saying that only about 1280 non-routable addresses are normally used, not that only 1280 exist. It is the small number which are normally used which makes guessing addresses viable.
This makes sense, since the dust should already be filtered, which removes a large part of the need for a case. However, I do wonder about the airflow, since an ordinary case helps to direct the airflow through the kit rather than over the top, which might be a problem. On the other hand, without a case, the ventilation will be much better, so what is lost on the swings may be gained on the roundabouts.
This is a nice idea though, and would make sense for rackmount routers/switches, since these usually sit in an enclosed cupboard anyway.
There is a range of items which can be used for your ID. Everyone should be able to get at least one form of 70pt identification, since if you weren't born in Australia, you would either have citizenship or be on a visa, which needs a passport. Not every organisation will allow every form of ID, epsecially if it is something which they are not familiar with and so cannot easily verify (or are too much trouble to verify, such as telephone contact), but a large subset of these items will be accepted at these values.

I'm not sure if you are trolling or if you are just a clueless kid, but Usenet is a distributed messaging protocol which (nowadays) runs over the internet using NNTP. From a user's perspective, it is somewhat like an email mailing list (and many mail clients have a newsreader built in[1]). Each message is sent to the originator's newsserver, which makes it available to its clients and pushes it to any other server it talks to during the next time they sync[2]. all the new messages are then made available to users and other servers, allowing messages to propagate across the world without any centralised coordination, and without providing anyone with your details.
The anonymity is one of Usenet's great advantages. It means that the only person you have to trust is your server, because no-one else can find out who you are , and even the server used can potentially be hidden . Messages can be sent to others without ever knowing who they are, or even if they exist at all. the problem (from an end user's perspective) is that this all makes spam filtering difficult, especially as admins are generally reluctant to use the Usenet death penalty and cut off all outbound traffic from spam-friendly providers. There are moderated groups which deal with the spam, either with full moderation, in which messages must be sent to a moderator for his approval before they are posted, or with semi-moderation, of which we do not speak[3]. Finally there are cancelbots, which can request servers to delete messages, but the obvious exploits with this means that many servers no longer respect them.
[1] Outlook lacks its own newsreader, but it calls Outlook Express (msimn.exe) if you click on the "News" menu item.
[2] This is different from email as email messages are typically sent as soon as possible, rather than stored and sent as a batch. This usage is a relic of the pre-internet era, when Usenet was transferred over UUCP dial-up links.
[3] Seriously. If you find the group which is best known for using this, you will know that it is bad form to even mention the name of the group, let alone how to post.
I expect this was because the Bing spider hadn't crawled as much of the Web as Googlebot has. Google have had years to accumulate the search data, but if MS have had to trow out their old MSN search database and build a new one, they are going to take a while to get up to speed. Indeed, I get 1,180,000,000 results for "Windows" in Google, but only 372,000,000 in Bing, and before any suggests this is because MS are filtering the results to hide unfavorable sites, this happens with completely neutral search terms like "fish" or "cat", with Google giving at least twice as many results as Bing for most searches I tried. In this regard, it would seem that the Linux community has noting to complain about.
There is an old saying, updated only because of inflation:
If you owe the bank $100k, you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100M, the bamk has a problem
Multiply the sums by a large factor,and it applies to states as well.
That is usually what happens when there is less cloud. People should remember that water vapour is a greenhouse gas, and that clouds do provide effective insulation. Simply comparing the daily temperature range with the level of cloud, will, over time, be enough to make this clear, even if you haven't noticed already that starry nights tend to be colder than overcast ones at the same time of year.
NOTE: this is not arguing either side of (any part of ) the global warming debate. Just pointing out the reason for this.

If you are in HTML mode, yes, you have to use HTML tags. Change your posting mode in preferences if you don't like that.
They just need to remember that using Russian internet will cause thier systems to freeze.

But you have to set assignments until retirement.
