The RCMP in Canada (national police for those that don't know) are actually required when hiring new recruits to make sure that a specified percentage are of certain minorities. The problem is that many of those minorities don't apply as much as white males which means that it is WAY easier for the few minority applicants to get in than the white males. They keep doing radio and TV advertisements asking for people to sign up, but they keep turning people away because "we already have too many white males".
I'm all for equality and ensuring that minorities are respected and not disadvantaged, but sometimes they go WAY overboard.
This has been used to cool rubidium to near 0K in labs for a while. Takes some work (the laser needs to be *perfect*), but I've seen the setup myself at a previous employ at a local University.
I remember reading (on slashdot I think) about a study Microsoft did that showed that they released more security updates than Linux. It turned out their research department had found a single month in 5 years worth of updates where they did and used that hand-picked statistical anomaly as the basis of their claim.
I remember a big one from a decade or so (apple Juice I believe) that was contaminated by wild deer defecating in the fields. No human-owned animals involved in that one.
I would have no problem eating horsemeat either, the same as I have no issue eating pork. The problem is when a burger is labeled "beef" but has horsemeat. I would be just as upset if it had pork instead of beef. If you want to sell horsemeat burgers, call them horsemeat burgers, or just "burgers" and put the horsemeat in the ingredients list like you're supposed to.
Um, no. It converts matter to other matter and release the potential energy stored within it. There is a theory about some 0.001% of the matter disappearing, but it's nowhere near "converted well".
MacOS X contains many works within in, all in individual files. Your "simple" answer isn't as simple as you think it is. For instance, many classical pieces were written in "parts", all of which would now fit on a single CD. If those works were still under copyright, would each part be an infringement or would the entire piece be 1 infringement?
The problem is you HAVE TO disable it in windows, along with a toilet papper roll's length of other bullshit vulnerabilities. If you use embedded Linux, you're checklist can be written on the palm of your hand with a sharpie.
The same can be done without the NAT just like your firewall does when connected to a public wifi hotspot. You do use a firewall when connected to a public wifi hotspot don't you?
Funny, my router running dd-wrt has a great built-in firewall. The only reason consumer routers don't typically come with built-in firewalls is because consumer-grade routers don't typically come with IPv6 support so the manufacturers don't see firewalls as a requirement.
Once IPv6 is available on your everyday BestBuy router, the default firewall configuration will simply need to statefully allow outgoing connections and their coresponding responses. Allowing incoming connections to specific machines on specific ports will be enabled exactly the same way we turn on port forwarding today.
I highly doubt any.net game written for the XBox would run on Linux's craptastic excuse of a language that is moonlight without the equivalent of an entire rewrite. If you believe that.net (even just the mono parts) are cross platform on the Linux platform, you have been seriously miss-informed.
Oh, and why did you pick the XBox? Why not use the PS3 or Wii, neither of which support the same platform as the XBox? Face it, if you count consoles there is NO SUCH THING as a cross-platform gaming environment. In fact, the closest thing would be OpenGL which runs on all 3 major desktops and I believe the PS3 as well (possibly Wii to a limited extent, not sure).
Not any more.
Garry Kasparov lost a match to a program several years ago - back when he was the world champion. Nowadays it is taken as a given that a top program on adequate hardware will overwhelm any human player. The human may win the odd game but most of the time he will be steamrollered.
Now THAT is going to need a citation. So far your proof is "1 chess champion lost ONE game against a computer (out of about 7 mind you)". Not to mention the human player was started to become fatigued (you would too after over a half-dozen back to back games).
Slashdot Mirror
Just a clarification "don't apply as much" means that fewer of them apply for the job, not that they don't apply themselves as much to the job.

Does this maen it will now be possible to run Arch in a FreeBSD jail like we can currently do with Debian?
Not just combustion. Even nuclear and chemical reaction systems follow the same rules.
Or loaded in the back of a white van.

Sort of, but it can be easily done without NAT.
Go by mass (weight).

Precisely. Yes, I agree with the general idea that this should generally be a civil matter, but there are cases where jail time is appropriate.
And these would be? (excluding existing laws that need not be included in a TOS)

Umm, that's pretty much the decision they were ASKING for.

Or just use a fucking virtual machine. You guys and your Goldberg routing.

Consumer grade network connections do not run servers.
Tell that to my home server connected to my consumer grade network connection.
