to say it again, you can change the syntax in lisp to be anything you want, you can even make a C intrepreter in lisp. It wouldn't be very fast, but it would work. You can define a strongly typed language in lisp, and make it do anything you can think of. lisp is the original VM, designed to allow the programmer to code the same way that they think. Very usefull programming language from that standpoint.
So, because we knew these people's real names from the flight manifest, we don't need facial recognition for this case. What are they going to do, restrict someone from boarding thier plane because thier face triggered an alarm, I don't think so. So, facial recognition doesn't really matter, the hijackers all died, we aren't going to file suit against a dead person are we?
cummon, engage that brain you think you use and think about the point RMS was making, that giving up a few simple liberties will not prevent terrorism, it might prevent unskilled terrorists, but it is not suficient to think that monitoring communications and physical movements will solve any terrorist problems which the world has. Sure, there are some "known" terrorists, but most of them look just like you and me, and act just like you and me. I have a right to keep my secrets secret, and I plan to defend that right if needed.
on PBS last night tom clancy was talking with the reporters and he was happy to point out how easy it is to actually fly an airplane, landing is the difficult part that takes practice, and if I remember right, none of these planes actually landed...
give up on selling CD's as the exclusive media for the music. They should sell cheap CD's, and increase the amount of live music presence thier artists have. Music is meant to be live, and everyone prefers live music most of the time, for the atmosphere.
Playing with lego's was one of the best experiences of my life. I had more than anyone I have ever met, mostly all free-form blocks, although I did get the battery pack and motors, but I ordered them from a catalogue, so they were very generic. I liked that they chose sizes for thier belts so that I could replace them with parts from the local hardware store.
Enough nostalgia, on to the real stuff.
To understand me, you need to understand how I solve problems. If thier are directions, I throw them away first thing, then I start tinkering. I do this when I work on my car, and I do this when I am programming. Knowing the answer before starting is never as much fun, it can be quicker, but nothing is learned aside from one fact. This is why physics labs bored me in college, not because we were not studying cool things, but because we were told how to do everything. We weren't given a problem and told to solve it, we were given a solution and told to explain the answer. This did not promote my interest in learning the equations which we discused in class. It worked well for the other students, many of them flourished in that environment, but it did not work for me.
It was not until my last lab, where the lab manual had been lost and I was told to make it up, did I actually learn something from physics labs. The other ones were too canned to be interesting to me. Its because they did not fit into the lego mentality, experimentation is more than doing something someone else has done before exactly as they did it.
The millitary would benifit greatly from the advanced communication they could setup in the field using portable temporary satelites. You don't think they had an alterior motive, do you?
My dad got an XT in '84. Old man had me programming on it by the time I turned 6.
I wrote a screen saver for it, because my dad's other computer had one on it. I talked about it in class and my teacher thought I was lying about it, and made me write a note to my mom about how I lied to the teacher and shit. My parents got pretty pissed at her, because I hadn't been lying. She never did like me, though.

You ask about admins still not patching this? Take five seconds and ask yourself of all of the webservers you know, how many of them are on a network with a full time administrator? You think its all of them, don't you. No, it isn't. The companies which we need to really worry about are the ones like the webdesign company my girlfriend works for. They have a server, but they have no on staff administrators. ZERO! If something goes wrong with their server(s) they call the owner of the companie's kid, who doesn't know anything at all about security, he manages to know a few simple things about computer hardware, but not that a motherboard with an AGP1x does not work well with AGPPro cards.
I alerted them to being infected by several IIS worms and security compromises, and they still haven't patched.
Why does everyone think that everytime they come up with a creative way to move a large object that they have discovered the way the egyptians built the pyrimids and oblisks?
I saw a very interesting thingie on PBS about this, the archelogical evidence suggests that the egyptians did everything with three elements, human labor, wood, and sand. Wood was the only one which they didn't have abundant supply nearby, but pieces of a giant wooden barge, large enough to carry many stones or a few oblisks, have been found, and a replica made.
The Oblisks stand upon stone squares with what archaeologists call a turning groove. This turning groove they claim, kept the oblisk from sliding around as it was stood into place.
A theory which will be difficult to prove by archaelogical evidence about the erection of the oblisks is that they used the most simple machine they could, gravity. A large box was made around the base for the oblisk and filled with sand. Several sand vents were cut in the sides of this box, allowing sand to run out when opened. The oblisk was dragged on top of the sand and the vents opened. This technique has been demonstrated, it gets the oblisk within a few degrees of vertical, the remainder can be pulled by fewer than 200 men.
Why would they need to use kites when they could use sand and gravity?
BTW, at first I thought you were saying that they used JEW's to construct thier stuff. Big shock, its in the bible...
It annoy's me when my cable connection goes down, but, I do understand exactly why it does go down, too many line splices and generally shitty quality of network administration. My ISP's DNS server crashes about once a day for about an hour, there SMTP server dies all the time, their news server crashes with sending large amounts of message headers, and its all running on windows. So, who do I blame for my internet being messed up once in a while, corporations. Why would I be interested in them "improving" my internet experience.
the momentum of a photon is planks constant * frequency
therefore, a high frequency photon has high momentum.
also, you have a little classical physics wrong, too. p=mv E=antiderivitive(p) = MV^2/2
We discussed this in a cultural anthropology class last week. We predicted that in the next 50 years the changes in american culture will be away from consumerism and toward a lifestyle more like that of the amish. Don't get me wrong, there are many misunderstood concepts that the amish hold dear, you may think that they shun technology, but they don't. They choose which technologies will be better for thier lives and ignore all of the other garbage.
I honestly think they have a lot more going for them than most people think.
So, all I need to do to copy this is grab the digital signal (easy) decrypt it (probally CSS...) and then write it to my harddrive? That's just adding one step to the recording process, shouldn't be too difficult if I want that information.
Oh, yeah, the TV has a circut for decryption, couldn't I just grab the digital signal on the other side of the decryption chip?
Cummon, encrypting things for home use is rediculious.
I guess I don't understand why they have no problems with me recording days or our lives (never watched it) on a VHS tape everyday so I can watch it after work, but recording it digitally is a crime? get real MPAA. If I end up with a digital TV and I can't record something I want to, you can bet your ass that I will "modify" my TV to allow recording.
I can't wait to be talking to my mom on the phone and tell her she needs to smash the stack in her TV so she can record something.
Sounds similar to the wireless microphones I worked with for a while. They came in about fifteen different frequencies, but you had to use every other or even every third if you wanted them to work at the same time. Very annoying.
I would see this as an oportunity for the telco's and the high bandwidth providers. For example, if I establish a 802.11b network in my apartment building (or TPO if I want) and they provide me with an uplink to the internet, only one, and very high bandwidth. It would simplify thier lives, remove thier need for customer support people, because they would only be dealing with me, and if I had a software problem I wouldn't take up two hours of thier tech support crew's time. They would be able to increase thier profits, as they aren't making any money on DSL just give up on that, and sell me bandwidth in T3 increments, right to my apartment building. They should be excited about this possibility to push network complexity out of thier domain.
What about windows media player playing CD's by ripping the digital audio right from the CD and playing the music through the soundcard instead of using the internal analog/digital lines from the CDROM to the soundcard?
Is this going to play in that situation? I think not.
I have a shinny apple for the first to identify the CD.
Inputs to the fusion reaction are hydrogen isotopes (safe) the outputs are helium isotopes (safe). The only problem that might be expected would be heat, and we all know heat is dangerous.

Isn't that a strength?
In classical liberal tradition you are talking about natural rights... not born rights.
were you running on a burned out cpu or ram? That would explain the kernel panics where none have occured before.
I believe your last sentence was a point of debate 30 years ago when programmers stopped programming in machine code.
So, because we knew these people's real names from the flight manifest, we don't need facial recognition for this case. What are they going to do, restrict someone from boarding thier plane because thier face triggered an alarm, I don't think so.
