No hypothesis can be tested that asserts "Adam and Eve were not created by God in six days". No way you can test that. No scientific method can verify it.
It was a history class. Most of the stuff taught in history class is on the basis of "a credible source wrote it down". Most of it can't be scientifically tested or verified.
You do realize that without (literal) original sin, garden of Eden, etc., Christianity turns into "some guy a long time ago said to be good or else"... right?
The only caveat is that you have to know the carrier for the person you're emailing a text so you can get the host correct (since you have to enter PhoneNumber@tmobl.net, for example.)
If I don't know, I typically just send it to all of the major carriers. Most of them bounce, and whichever one gets an actual reply was the right one.
There is only a 2.84% probability of having 60 heads or more. There is only a 2.84% probability of having 40 heads or fewer. There is a 94.31% probability of having 41-59 heads and 41-59 tails.
No doubt. But the overall point was that Windows is "stupidly easy" to compromise, and if that's true it presumably wouldn't be that hard to determine that the computer at that IP wasn't even running Windows. Anyway, I still think you should have posted the IP address for the FBI or CIA or some other spook agency on the outside chance that he'd really try to break in.
Could I not just as easily be at someone else's computer doing that?
What would that accomplish? So somebody else's Windows computer could be hacked.
Anyway, your Slashdot user ID number is stored in plain readable text in the cookies.sqlite file, which would be the most obvious way to determine if you'd got into the right computer. If you wanted to, I mean...
Granted, that same cookie could probably be used to access your Slashdot account, but I'm confident he'd never do that...
Surprisingly enough it's in one of RoadRunner's residential IP blocks ("Allocations for this OrgID serve Road Runner residential customers out of the Austin, TX and Tampa Bay, FL RDCs").
He should have at least made it interesting, like 209.251.178.99.
That said, I'm not particularly thrilled with a browser feature that tells you where not to go on the internet. I'd rather be able to go there and not get infected by browser exploits. Drive-by downloads I'm not worried about. Embedded PDFs I'm not worried about. (I uninstalled the Adobe plugin. Any PDFs are downloaded rather than opened.) That pretty much just leaves the browser, Flash, and Java. And even Java should warn me before starting an applet.
In that case, I'm calling you on the misuse of "_x increase". The "x" means to multiply. Multiplying by 1 is not an increase. You meant either a "100% increase" or a "2x increase".
Yes they do. Even if you use the definition where the "jack" is (relatively) immobile and the "plug" is (relatively) mobile, the "jack" is still EXACTLY THE SAME as the "port". Neither of which is the "plug".
And in most cases the "plug" is the male connector which makes the "jack" female. Only in rare cases is the "jack" a male connector (e.g. parallel and serial ports, which are all but obsolete).
I was thinking you could really cut a little bit on both sides. You could even cover the sides with something flexible so the plug wouldn't be exposed. Yes, the plug would be thicker than the device, but what's it matter?

Even when (you think) they're right?
If so, my hat's off to you.
due the second law of thermodynmic we can assume that it has been here forever
ITYM the first law.

Yes, you have the right to not have your kids sent to public school, but you don't have the right to not pay to have your kids sent to public school.
You do realize that without (literal) original sin, garden of Eden, etc., Christianity turns into "some guy a long time ago said to be good or else"... right?
Founding Fathers?
I think you're talking about Thomas Jefferson, but I wasn't aware that the Founding Fathers were always in 100% agreement on everything they did.
The teacher exercised his freedom of religion and can't be sued for doing so.
Of course, I suspect that many people would change their tune quickly if the teacher had been teaching in favor of religion instead of against it.

Never heard of an e-mail-to-SMS gateway, I presume?

Statistics.
Any alignment except one that isn't flat, you mean. "Flat" means in a single plane.
This is a flat roof.
This is also a flat roof.
This is not a flat roof. It has two faces in two different planes.

The surprising part is that you posted your real IP address. The one I posted is what resolved for fbi.gov (I know, I'm not terribly creative).
I think he believes it was overshadowed.

Minor quibble: the misuse of 'spiral'.
In that case, I'm calling you on the misuse of "_x increase". The "x" means to multiply. Multiplying by 1 is not an increase. You meant either a "100% increase" or a "2x increase".
More like WTF he patented an oak tree?
So? Someone patented the cockleburr (PDF).
If the "flat array" has a "back side", it's not flat. /nitpick
You're correct. It isn't always a female fitting, but "port" and "jack" are still synonymous. And they're usually female fittings.
Yes they do. Even if you use the definition where the "jack" is (relatively) immobile and the "plug" is (relatively) mobile, the "jack" is still EXACTLY THE SAME as the "port". Neither of which is the "plug".
And in most cases the "plug" is the male connector which makes the "jack" female. Only in rare cases is the "jack" a male connector (e.g. parallel and serial ports, which are all but obsolete).
Only an ignorant person would disagree with me.
