What really pisses me off about rich buisness people like Gates getting all this positive attention for charity work is that most of the money they "donated" was basically stolen via tax evasion. Those millions he gave to charity should have been paid to the government a decade ago where it could have made a big difference in federal grants, municipal maintenance, medicare, etc.
This is basically a robin-hood story, except he stole the money from the OTHER poor people (all the people that had THEIR taxes incereased because the government was screwed by tax evasion).
Chances are that slime contained a fair number of animals (well, "small" ones). And I can't think of any more "mangling" of a death than being licked to death!
Assuming 2 equal cars (same mass, crumple zone & velocity), a head-on collision will have NO more effect on the passengers than hitting a stationary object (wall) that has no crumple zone. The whole "2 cars going 60 is like hitting a wall at 120" is completly wrong unless the other car is heavier or has a smaller/harder crumple zone (smart car vs. semi).
Picture 2 cars hitting each other, now draw an imaginary plane at the point where they first touch. If the cars are the same, no part of either car should cross that plane by a significant margin. Of course there will be SOME difference (steering columns/engines not being perfectly centered and all that), but you get the idea.
I did a fair bit of searching (including online dictionaries and encyclopedias which tend to use the *correct* definitions) and didn't find a SINGLE one that said resolution is pixel density (DPI). Every single one stated it was the total on-screen pixels.
I use a 1080p 23" display on a regular basis (from about 1.5' away). I have font-aliasing disable when browsing and can most DEFINITELY see the individual pixels. In fact, periods are exactly 1x1 pixel and they are VERY easy to see. If you can't a 1x1 pixel dot on a 1080p screen then you need to get your glasses prescription updated!
Can I assume that the 100000 in that ratio is "looking directly into the sun"? Do you have any idea how much POWER that would draw? Not to mention the insanity of requiring sunglasses to look at your computer...
The closest I can figure is "horizontal pixel count divisible by 16" but if you already have a 120px horizontal bars, why would you really care that you have up to 8px vertical ones?!?
Then don't PICK words, use a random generator to do it for you!
dict_length=`wc -l word_list.txt`
for i in $number_of_words_needed; do head -n `random_number_generator_here $dict_length` word_list.txt | tail -n 1; done
Chose what-ever random number generator command you want and use it in the above to generate a random pass-phrase that has NOTHING to do with your taste in words (unless of course you download a Pokemon wordlist or something...)
10 random upper+lower+numeric+symbol password: 6.05 * 10^19 possibilities (ex: "Wi`t&^G6~7")
6 random words (using a dictionary of 2000 common English words): 6.40 * 10^19 possibilities (ex: "interval endeavour regret fault outer fringe harden")
Now tell me which one you'd rather try to memorize! Also keep in mind, that adding random character and swapping out character (ex: E become 3) is NOT equivalent to a completely random password.
Anyone who thinks code beyond "Hello World" can be not only written bug-free but handle the abuse a client will put it through obviously never got past "Hello World".
Because "Windows" is a registered trademark and Microsoft would sue the PANTS off you for doing any such thing. The official sticker also nets you HUGE discounts on licensing, you know unless you WANT to pay full retail price on each machine!
Banking? HAHAHAH You're talking about the same institutions that are REQUIRING rfid tags in credit cards (trust me, I've LOOKED for some without it), let you do banking on CELL PHONES and still recommend IE as the preferred browser. These guys couldn't give a flying FUCK if your computer is secure.
Many independant artists will sell you wav or flac versions of their songs directly off their website. If you want to "preserve" them, BURN them. Or for cheaper, just copy it to 3 different hard drives. CD's are about $0.50/GB ($1 in Canada due to the damn levy), HDD's are about $0.15/GB
Oh man, I can't WAIT to see what RMS has to say about "unintentinal forced distribution". If you give me the virus, I didn't ask for it and you (also being infected) didn't intend to give it to me. I wonder if we'll see a GPLv4 soon to cover this issue like GPLv3 covered Tivoisation!

Much better analogy would be he keeps his stuff but source must be freely redistributed with the copies.
FTFY

Won't somebody think of the slime?!?

So technically nothing, got it.

Can you see the pixels on your 1080p screen?

WTF does "16:9 compatible" mean?

Geocachers sure do.
Gah, too many negatives. My bad.
I think it can be argued that any negative results from doing such a thing would be a bug in your shell, not the application.

The whole point of the FBI having the copies in the first place is so they can prove they DO have copyrighted content on them...
Nononono you have it all wrong. The US is against information LEAVING the U.S., this stuff was coming INTO the U.S.
I honestly can't tell if you're naive or trolling. I can't think of a single thing they've done that WASN'T a dick move...
Does that include files to which *I* own the copyright. Like say, that school report I uploaded?*
* Just an example, I have never actually uploaded anything to MegaUpload.

Don't forget Byron, who by the way was FINALY acquited.
