No, there is only perceived chaos, and perceived order. Or at least, that is what I read somewhere. Then again, it also said I shouldn't believe anything that I read.
I'd guess that this would only work within a certain intelligence/maturity/education/experience window. We learn to avoid the idiots who could get us in trouble.
My memory is a little foggy lately, since I've been hanging around in userland a bit, but I'm fairly certain that using long-mode (64-bit) on modern Intel CPU's for your OS and application would yield plenty of virtual address space, using PAE. Additionally, PAE supports a lot more than 36 bits of addressing on the most recent processors, up to 51 I think. The bigger question, is it practical for one CPU to use all that memory?
Most of the respectable security consultants I've worked with have raved about OpenBSD. Unfortunately, all 7 of my computers have some kind of hardware issues with it. I suppose in a way that really puts the BSDs in a similar boat as Apple, regardless of OS X's roots. Less hardware support = stability? Suddenly I'm less impressed.
I buy games brand new, beat them after a week or two, then trade them in for store credit while they are still worth semi-close to new retail. Then I wait until they are released under the greatest hits type label, or when the used copies are in the 15-20 dollar range. This habit worked out really well for me. I get to play the latest games, but recoup as much as I can by trading it in promptly after release, then pick up the cheap copy a year later and it feels like a new game all over again.
Almost all of these modern engines rock. We don't need someone pointing at the guy who is flexing his e-muscles. IGN, stop wasting our time with this nonsense and review games, then get us scoops on the latest titles and hardware. /rant off
Solar is free in the sense that you describe. All the electricity it generates that is spent will eventually heat up some load somewhere, and unspent energy will just heat up the surface, just like if it were a tar covered roof. Nothing is lost, since the energy removed still enters the system in the same quantity, just somewhere else, hopefully nearby.
The article mentions bits about the lack of marketing pressure in the FOSS world keep the version numbers sane. Since many FOSS programs have often been forked for direction/feature/standards reasons, and this is the same kinds of changes meriting new version identifiers in commercial software, perhaps that premise is flawed. Sure, those projects might make significant changes and increment the major version number, but the ability to fork and work on the features and changes you want is the source of the wonderfully full FOSS ecosystem. Commercial software companies might learn a thing or two from this. There are tons of forked projects where the original and many of the forked versions are still being used. Not sure how to monetize that process though.
Act of violence != act of preference. Sure they may be based on prejudices, racism, fraudulent statistics, even hate, but seeking an environment someone finds pleasing, especially for raising their children, definitely falls under "the pursuit of happiness" in my humble opinion.
Things ARE different in the military. Additional prosecution for improper, unlawful, or generally shameful behavior. The culture is very professional, and the discipline unmatched in the civilian world. Additionally, most wacko's are filtered through the insane training processes and strict culture. I don't think their role should ever extend to policing the country, but as a veteran, I'd trust an MP over a state/federal/local cop any day in any situation. I don't know how much this says, but the USAF has core values that read as follows "Integrity first. Service before self. Excellence in all we do." Personally, I think that speaks volumes, especially when the comparable mantra is "Protect and serve."
Your post only really applies to people who "get it" or have the knack. There are tons of experienced programmers who have sucked for the last 30 years and will continue to suck until they die. An experienced coder who is an idiot is just as valuable to me as a newbie idiot, mainly because they are good for bitch work, and that is about it.
In all seriousness, I abandoned a login after a major change in the status of my education and personal philosophy. I just didn't want to be associated with that person anymore.
Sadly, at this point, he failed to create anything with ears to hear, making his announcement just as silly and useless as it is now, 6000 years later.
Religious status does not predict character, morality, or ethical principles[citation needed]. The sociopaths you mentioned were sociopaths first. Your characterization implies that these sociopaths had an impaired sense of ethics because they did not believe in a religion. I would characterize them as sociopaths who selectively believed, preached, and practiced whatever they thought would secure the most power and fulfill personal fantasies.
I recently completed Chrono Trigger on the Nintendo DS, which I haven't done since it's SNES days. I didn't read the article, so I don't know how this game was classified. I realized on my second play through how perfect this game is. At no point do you really need to grind to succeed, equipment went a long way but was never really critical, and the story still knocked my socks off the second time through. After completing it, I realized I had just experienced pure fun. IMHO, if an RPG doesn't have all the aforementioned qualities, it isn't worth playing.
The state has an interest in monitoring you. Regardless of law (because they write it, for now at least), taking this matter into your own hands is the only way to ensure your privacy. It is like trusting a used-car salesman for an accurate appraisal for a car you'd like to buy from him.
I totally agree. The supposition I was trying to make that perhaps our evolution may have given us fine-tuned perception of health just by our natural instincts. However, since evolution is a "good-enough" type of solution, it would make sense that our perceptions would provide a "good-enough" result.

Maybe I should cease all that "outside the box" thinking my associates always compliment me on, in the interest of sanity. /wink

This makes me think of all the evil acts jointly committed in various D&D games in a new light.

Except you also will have to pay for it for a life time.

The article has no real indication that anything was the source, just that the last hop the analyst was able to track was in the UK...which means?

Until the demand for content that is considered obscene (in current culture) allows for mass profits, the big developers will never take it on.
Send the data stream in a low-attenuation beam to reflect around a black hole. Then in 10000 years pick it up.

As stupid as you make it sound, there is a reason trusting appearance might be better: millions of years of evolution.
Now I have an excuse to not lose those "extra pounds" my wife has been complaining about!
