Which means that people who can't connect to any server other than their ISPs on port 25 due to firewalling will never be able to send mail that originates from an address other than the one their ISP gave them.
The ISPs will love it, it's a perfect customer lock-in tactic. You don't want to switch ISPs, because you sure as hell can't take your email address with you, or use one that isn't associated with your ISP!
You couldn't use straight pins to do that high of number for addressing
No, you have to bend the pins slightly before you insert the DIP.
Seriously though, what the hell are you talking about. If you use 64 bits for addressing you get 1.84*10^19 addresses. (18 million terabytes, not 18 terabytes).
The current implementations use 48 bit addressing, which can address something like 250 TB of RAM.
Funny thing is, if he gets a lot of press for this, he'll have "thrust himself into the vortex of public debate" and will have to prove a much higher standard of libel, "actual malice".
I wonder if this has ever come up, or if this applies retroactively? (Becoming a public figure as a result of the alleged libel)...
I think it's funny that Congress will pass laws with all kinds of minutia and details in them, such as gun laws that list a bunch of specific models of guns, but then we also have laws like what gives the FCC its powers, with vague terms such as "indecent" so that we get to fight for years in courtrooms over what the terms mean.
The NRA is more effective than the ACLU. That's all there is to it.
The ACLU is probably too broad. They try to cover so many things that they do no one thing very well. At the same time this hurts them on the supply side because it's most likely you won't donate to the ACLU if you strongly disagree with one of their stands (such as their apparent support for most forms of affirmative action).
I'm glad we have the EFF as a focused group for electronic freedoms, and groups like the MPP, NORML and the SSDP for freedom of our bodies, they won't suffer unless they start expanding their scope too much, which they haven't much so far.
You're right about the loophole, and I can definitely identify with your situation here. Sometimes people just can't seem to understand logical arguments, when they contradict a commonly held belief.
The federal constitution is still the supreme law of the land. If you argue the federal government is forbidden from restricting P2P on first amendment grounds, then you can't argue that the state or local government has any more ability to restrict it.
Write it and they will come. For now, Google is the best. If your idea is so great, then write it. I think you'll find that it's extremely difficult for a computer to tell the difference between a page about fruit Apples and silicon ones.
They would just game the benchmark. What you'd get were CPUs that were very good at benchmarks, and not so hot at other stuff.
At least with Mhz it was harder to fake it, but Intel managed to increase clock speed without actually getting much more performance, so they even managed to play that system.
In any case, the rules don't say you can't make money from ham radio, tons of people do. What they do say is that you can't transmit communications for hire, including under the direction of an employer, and you can't transmit communications that you make money from.
Since they wouldn't be accepting money for transmitting, I don't think it would be breaking the rules. The rules are mainly intended to prevent commercial use of ham radio, i.e. using it instead of a commercial band for your company's walkie talkies, or taking payment to relay a message for someone, like a telegram service.
They wouldn't be using ham radio in a commercial way, the ham radio use is just incidental to them getting money, all their transmissions would be of a non-commercial nature.
An example: Hamfests often set up frequencies to use for talk-in during the hamfest. The use of the ham bands is incidental to the commercial activity.
Anyway, if you have any doubt, contact Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH. He'll definitely be able to tell you, as the FCC enforcement guy, and ham himself.
Given your UID I don't know if you were here 4 years ago, but I was, and it got like this before the last presidential election. It passes. Just wait a few months, by then every story will be infected by political ranting.

If your fingerprint is compromised, you can't revoke it.
Biometrics are crappy authentication. They should never be relied on by themselves.
Complexity is not a good thing.
And at least he didn't just flip it over and go home for the day.
Something to think about.

Just make sure to use a GFI outlet.

If someone's resume doesn't use one capital letter, that's a good hint.

BTW- At least they didn't sit you down in front of Quark, the interview might have turned out differently.

Modern hard disks already have hundreds of levels of failure before you actually notice the drive die.
Your drive probably remaps a sector every few months, and you'll never know about it, until it runs out of spares.
Rogerborg,

Most of those are graduate level topics.
not sufficient to account for all of Uranus' irregularity.
I'm trying to eat more fiber OK? I wish you would stop talking about this stuff in public!
I think you mean "in college learning that they learned more on their own when they were 12 then they could learn in 4 years of bullshit college".
Write it and they will come. For now, Google is the best. If your idea is so great, then write it. I think you'll find that it's extremely difficult for a computer to tell the difference between a page about fruit Apples and silicon ones.
I'm glad they are taking their time with fdiv operations, knowing their history. :)

The supreme court has already ruled on the draft and gender descrimination. They said it was fine the way it is.
It doesn't matter, the supreme court already ruled the draft constitutional.
See, that's because I went to the arctic for my education!
The artic is hardly an educational institution.

100,000 hours seems to be the boilerplate value for "this ain't going to break any time soon".
It's over 11 years of constant 24/7 operation, something most laptops will never see.
the coldest environment that MUST stay cold has the hottest (And capable of generating the most heat) mere meters above it.
That's easy, just call McDonalds, they are experts about keeping the hot side hot and the cold side cold.
