The really interesting thing to me is that since the encryption relies on physics which advances/changes drastically every century or two, it may be less secure than current public key encryption, which is based on mathmatical principles, though of course unsolvable equations get silved sometimes too.
I don't recall the specifics (because French author names are monkey chatter to me). But in my girlfriends class some of the students decided to grab relavent dates off of wikipedia rather than doing the historical background reading. They had dates wrong on first publishings and deaths. They were close enough for the casual user, but were definatly factually wrong. If you post a reply I'll try to follow up.
Che was no Hitler or Stalin (6,000,000 killed and 30,000,000 killed). Even Castro wasn't.
Also worth noting, Che is still a hero to many in south America, and the Comunists in Russia (can't speak to Stalin though).
Revolutionaries are in general murerous and bloody people though, the south coused the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and yet they are heros to many and often times their flag is worn in a non-ironic manner.
Thousands dead in our revolution for a war that only about half the country supported.
Yes, but as a non-hardcore gamer I was able to easily download save games. That was a big plus for me.
I don't know why other consoles don't put at least a crappy web-browser in them. Unlocking everything for a party game takes way too much time, why won't Nintendo let me dowload someone elses save from kirby's air ride?
A fairly inexpensive university in America would be the average state university, which charges around $40,000 for a 4 year engineering degree. India Institute of Technology chagres around $4000 for the same degree. Now I'll admit that we have a good deal of financial aid here- but they do as well, so that part is just about even. America is nothing special in that regard.
Free is free, do your work in High School.
The average non-college couple will make more than a million dollars less than a couple with college degrees over the course of a 40 year career. Of course, those numbers were BO (Before Outsourcing)- these days I have my doubts.
Assunuming that is before taxes it is not a particularly life altering amount, probably less than 600 a month (for me, I would like it, but it wouldn't shatter my Earth). Also, perhaps college attracts people more likly to earn more in any job, regardless of education. A lot of people in my girlfriends class (Ph.D.) will not have time for a 40 year career (late 20's/early 30's with 4 more years to go).
Also is that $1,000,000 more in today's dollors or including inflation, because in 40 years $1,000,000 is the new $100,000.
Also more to the point, very few people are "rich enough" to not want more, the man who wants to make get his raise to $30,000 a year is no less happy than the one who wants $130,000/yr.
In my home state (Delaware) there is a decent University that is fairly inexpensive (many other states are like this too). It is also not too un-reasonable for in-state students to have their education entirly funded by scholorships. If you do well in undergraduate they will let you into the graduate program and pay you enough to live a (very) meager life. All of the text books are ut in a place in the library so you can use them for free (I only took 2 classes, so this may not be entirly true). I know many other states are like this too, so I don't really buy the education is too expensive in America argument.
Of course if you do not do well in highschool, or you want to go to a private college, or your state sucks, or you want to go to another state then it is very expensive.
P.S. I didn't go to callege, except for a few classes I never finished (spelling/grammer attest to that), and live a fairly decent life, there are plenty of non-outsourcable jobs that require no education, only good work ethic and they pay well enough that a couple can make a decent life doing them (retail management is a quick example).
P.P.S. My X key is acting up, I think I cought them all though.
Puzzle Pirates is great fun (puzzlepirates.com), has plenty of puzzle games, fun atmosphere, and is fairly inexpensive.
They have a free/micro payment mode where you only need to pay for what you do, and some stuff is free.
You can both go join a crew and as long as neither of you totally sucks it is a load of fun. The players are cool and won't kick you off for being a newb. It also has card games with people more interesting than Yahoo.
That reminds me of a song sharing network I thought of.
It would all be reviews with a clip of less than 3 seconds. The reviews could be searched, and downloaded, and you could on your side arrange all the reviews in order and reconstruct the entire song. Of course it would be real hard to prove the distributed song review network was not intended for piracy (to a proponderance of evidence anyway).
I got a PlayStation when they were first $99.00 (I think right before or after the PS2 launch, but I forget), the Dreamcast was a comparable price, but it was someone else getting it fo me, they asked if I wanted a Seaga Dreamcast, and I said I don't want that POS (thinking is was a Saturn, it had been years since I had heard the name and cound't remember it, also, the most recent Sega system I had even seen was the Genisis).
It took me about a few months to realize my mistake (powerstone at an arcade did it). Next Christmas I got myself a Dreamcast when people were getting Xboxes and PS2s (of course AAA games were $15.00 at the time so it was awsome).
Power Stone is still the most fun fighting game ever (better than Smash Bros.), and Joe Joe's Bizzare Adventure is probably my favorite 2-D fighter. Grandia II my favorite RPG, and Mars Matrix my favorite shmup (though maybe Ikaruga).
The Dreamcast was awsome, it is a real shame how bad it did, since it was a long time before PS2 games were comperable in graphics and fun.

Lots of pre-orders = we buy stock for shelves.
few pre-orders = we don't want any extra.

Lets not forget F-Zero being developed by Sega.

I wonder if the article is confused, in that most diesel trains actualy power an electric motor.
You ask me anything more than basics on a PC and I'm lost. I wouldn't know where to look if I was having problems wit a program.
the same place as on OS X (google.com)
It is one 6 VW Beetles on one DBitLoC (Dust Bunny in the Libray of Congress)
I hope this helps carify things.
you mean 1998-2005 as in some of the hottest years of the last few millenia?

I havn't read the Oblivion manual, but I have an apperent bug dropping things. I get 2 problems regularly.
1) I get not enough room problems, once I emptied a bookshelf, became over encumbered and couldn't drop anyhting, I reloaded.
2) Stuff floats around in my crosshair getting generally in the way
I now only leave things in corpses and chests to make life easier.
the error could be between chair and keyboard though.

Depends what you mean by high-end.
You can get a nice card for under $200. I wouldn't call it high end, but if you are used to using Intel integrated controllers you might.

That's what the inrfa-red is.
Works on the old Sony camcorders.
best post ever!!!
I wish I had mods when it wasn't April 1st
Buy a humidifier, or at least a teapot.
worthless without the graphics card though.
My understanding is that in therory it should be less biased like the Supreme Court.
Historically it was there for an easier transition to democrocy.
Weren't you complaining about stability as why you hated NetWare?
or did I misread the post?
I'd buy it.
650MB in 1995 was a lot more storage than 50GB is in 2006.
And $1000 in 1995 was less than $2000 now.
DVD-R dropped from $500 to $70 real quick though.
By the end of '04 I was able to get a Dual layer DVD-R for less than $80.

So true.
