What if the encryption algorithm, or at least an implementation, inserts some kind of headers or other marking so that anyone can tell that it's not random data? Can any actual security experts chime in, does anything like this ever happen or is an encrypted file just pure encrypted bits start to finish?
I think the 40000+ annual casualties that occur mostly because of drunk drivers, sleepy drivers and distracted drivers (all human faults) are a much bigger problem than the situations you describe. Besides, I don't think the majority of actual drivers ever actually carry out the kind of thought processes you describe in (1) and (2).

I say throw some advanced math into games. For example, imagine that you're playing a game and you enter a room. Suddenly, you realize that the room is filled with toxic gas, and you suddenly take 50 damage. One second later, 52 damage. One second after that, 54 damage. You have 10000 health. You need to figure out how long you have to get out of the room. So you think "ok, the DPS (hey look, that's a derivative!) is 50 + 2t. I want the total damage to be less than 10000. So you take the antiderivative (50t + t^2), set the result to 10000 (t^2 + 50t - 10000 = 0) and solve the quadratic equation! t = (-50 + sqrt(2500 + 40000)) divided by 2, the root is about 210, so t = 160 / 2 or 80. I have 80 seconds to live!".
If we're going to get into the finer points of freedom of speech theory, you have to understand the difference between facts and opinions. Lying on your tax return, false advertising and slander are all examples of stating incorrect facts. Facts can be impartially determined by a court of law to be correct or incorrect. Hate speech laws, however, suppress unpopular opinions, and protecting unpopular opinions is arguably the whole point of freedom of speech. Opinions are not correct or incorrect, and a court has no place deciding which opinions are "better" than which other opinions.
It's literally impossible, for example, for working-class Black lesbians to have a fair and equal debate with bourgeois white straights; there's too much of a power imbalance.
Fortunately, we have people (like me) willing to stand up for Black lesbians as a matter of principle. Besides, these days the internet is giving everyone a much more equal voice than before, so I don't see how you could claim that anyone actually being silenced (except by hate speech laws).
As much as armchair libertarians like to claim it is, speech is not harmless. Someone's probably going to call Godwin's law and ignore the rest of this post, but speech is the means by which the Holocaust got under way.
The Holocaust did not start because of speech, it started because people started trashing Jewish shops and later shoving Jews into gas chambers. That is what should be punished. Just as you don't sue Smith&Wesson if someone shoots your son - you sue the murderer, the blame for any actual hate crimes should fall solely on the actual perpetrators.
It wasn't just Hitler's regime randomly foisting anti-Semitism upon the masses, but mass complicity in the anti-Semitism by the common German, which was played off of by Hitler's regime. Basically, the national discourse around Jews at the time was similar to our national discourse around undocumented immigrants at the moment.
So if the government had violently suppressed anti-Semitism it would have stopped? As much as authoritarians want things to work that way, they don't.
Even in Canada, which has much less free speech protection than the United States...
Really?
The first item in the US bill of rights guarantees freedom of speech. What does the first item in our charter of rights do?
1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
Oh, right, it effectively nullifies the rest of the charter by including vague language about "reasonable limits".
You also can't start a chapter of the KKK, start publishing material that has no value and offends a large audience.
Yeah, that's the problem. See, I don't think we should have government bureaucrats decide whether or not something "has no value". How about we let the audience decide that for themselves? If we want to prove that our ideologies are indeed superior to those of the KKK, that can only be done on a fair and equal forum of debate where the other side has a fair chance to speak. Right now, all we've proved is that the anti-racists have bigger guns.
Actually, unless they were using it destructively (ie. peeing in it) and weren't using the hole when I wanted to use it, the thought that I deserve money from them probably wouldn't enter my mind at all.

Well, 'cyber' doesn't just mean artificial, it refers to computer-like components. So you just have to get a cochlear implant or a pacemaker and you'll be a literal cyborg just like in the movies.
Sorry, I was referring to people living in low-income neighborhoods working in convenience stores in small towns in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure farmers are fine, sophisticated people.
Science is about predicting the future. If I know that the Earth and the Sun revolve around each other at a distance of 149.6 million kilometers and with an orbital duration of 365.242 days, I can know exactly where the Earth will be at any point in the next million years. However, if I know that this relationship was set up by God, that doesn't help me make any useful predictions. Thus, science doesn't care if God put the Earth and the Sun in their place, it only matters that they're there. They might not even be there at all - this whole universe might be a computer simulation run by a bored teenager - but science still doesn't care because that doesn't help me figure out where the Earth and the Sun will (appear to) be in 100000 AD.

Sorry about the chain of replies to myself, but mpaa.org seems to be blocking my IP after 440 successive wgets :)
There is something wrong with this: pings are being blocked. Substituting it with wget seems to be working just fine though.

Ok, now I actually want to play a game like this.
The purpose of a teaming agreement is, in part, to keep wages reasonable by discouraging poaching
So, seeing past the substitution of the word "low" with the gentler word "reasonable", it basically is a form of anti-competitive collusion.

I'm curious, what did Linux throw away in 2006-2010? And can you get most of it back by moving from Gnome/KDE to a simple window manager?

Servers, I agree, Linux wins. I was thinking of the desktop.
And the whole business about not being able to put a veil over your face.
I have to disagree slightly.
Entertainment and bundled apps - 8 - 7 (Mac's got quite a bit more pre-installed stuff than Windows)
Performance and Mobility - 9 - 7 (your hardware choices go way down with Mac OS)
Business - 7 - 7 (Mac's got Adobe software and Microsoft Office, Linux has imperfect support with Wine)
I disagree
1) No ipod touches or iphones, have them use laptops.
2) Custom Linux LiveCD sans internet features.
