How hard is that? Parse/var/log/secure, do a lookup and see where the attacks are coming from.

Death is a misnomer. Physical processes will be different and much slower as entropy increases, but there is no hard limit which is ever reached. In 30 billion years the descendants of humans might have a million year lifespan which seems to them to be the same length as ours does to us. They just have less available free energy. The beings that lived a few seconds after the big bang had whole civilizations which lasted microseconds.
$400,000 for writing a letter? I like the EFF and I sort of agree that it's not fair they have to eat the costs of defending a fraudulent claim. But it was their choice to send the notice chiseled on a solid gold tablet.
I read Stand on Zanzibar when it first came out in 1968. It was pretty shocking then, too. I see it was set partly in 2010; it might be interesting to reread it.
Although technology has changed a lot since then, I think the biggest changes have been social: recognition of civil rights for women and minorities. Those changes and their effects are harder to predict, but it was Star Trek which showed the first interracial kiss on US TV. That was also in 1968.
In a movie, everything that happens, every character who exists, all accidents of fate, and so forth, is there by design, in order to advance the plot.
Then why are there all those characters who smoke cigarettes and drink Coca Cola?
Seriously, this time I could even understand if it was not released for "reasons of national security". It would be one of the few cases where that excuse actually makes sense.
Because the terrorists who are going to attack using a sophisticated DNS cache poisoning technique are obviously too stupid to download a list of government websites and go through them one-by-one to see which are using DNSSEC.
How can you say that ACTA is secret? I encourage everyone to review the agenda of the recently completed 6th round of talks which is available on the USTR site. It's nearly 80 words long for heaven's sake, and only two thirds of it is about the dates, the rooms and what meals are being served. How much more open can we get?
And please note that on Friday morning we discussed your desire for transparency. We gave it the consideration that we believe it deserved; you can see the results for yourselves.

Language choice doesn't matter. You can do simple things in any language. If it takes some magic to make it work, he won't care. The important thing will be to do something that's interesting. I would start off by developing a scene in POV-Ray. Then get into program flow using OpenGL and whatever language binding is handy.
Fortunately, we did do something about the scattered theories and reports of global cooling in the 60s and 70s. We put more money into climate science to find out what was really happening.
Or as a Biologist would say: Sexual dimorphism in primates is a result of dominant male reproductive success. However, your statement does have a certain pithiness.
Interestingly, species which share child-rearing have less difference between males and females. It will be interesting to see what happens to humans over the next 10 or so generations as physical strength becomes less important and women achieve more equal status.
Good point. Maybe you should have linked to regulatory capture so the mods would have a clue what you were talking about.
heh, yeah, the Rockefeller mods are out in force today. I suppose it is too much to expect a basic knowledge about the history of Standard Oil.
Rockefeller n. - See Robber Baron.
We know the telecoms and government are in each others pockets, but Yahoo?
Once a corporation goes public and is involved in significant M&A they're at the government's mercy. The TARP scandal has brought out just how strongly the screws get put on.
If we allow corporations as legal persons they should be subject to dissolution for certain abuses. That should satisfy both pro-civil rights liberals and pro-death penalty conservatives.
Sure, any corporate charter can be suspended or revoked. It just never happens, except very minimally at the local levels.
SEC could be the poster boys for regulatory capture given the way bad management has plundered shareholder's money. Look at what happened with all those companies and who went to jail? Martha Stewart. Give me a break.

So we need to write an OSS distributed search engine called Gnugle? It could run as the idle task in your browser or screensaver and replace the centralized ad-supported search with distributed free software. Time to take back the internet from Google.

Lawyers should be paid by the government,
What would you call that? Universal Wealth Care?

The RIAA made multiple copies of the letter.
Constant change is here to stay.
Didn't you read the summary?
Constant change would be k * t ...
Merely polynomial change would be k0 + k1 * t + k2 * t^2
Exponential change would be k ^ t
Hope that clears everything up.

Yes. It's scrawled in the margin in either Bill Clinton's or George Bush's hand-writing. I can't quite make out which.
Most interesting to me was that in the sample, less than 4% used any non alpha-numerics in their #$#%'ing passwords.
Most interesting to me was that the chart showing use of case, numbers and special characters is titled "Password Length Distribution"
You're missing the really exciting news in the article. The number of engineers at the FCC has increased 4% relative to the number of economists.

Because "this building is warmer than the neighbors" doesn't give them probable cause, but "this shape looks like a bank of warming lights" does.
Besides, they pay of the cost on the first few auto and home seizures.
Really? You hate your brother that much?

Physically women will never be equal to men. It's in out genes to be able to bulk up more..
That may be genetic selection due to culture. Men don't choose women who are bigger than they are and women don't date short men.
When asked this question, Shaw's wife said men were obviously smarter because he married her and she married him.

Listen up ICANN, DNS would be next.
OMG NASA call the WAAAAAAMBULANCE!
While the USA frets about crew safety, China will take the risks, spend the money, and colonize the Moon, Mars, Europa, the Lagrange points...
The future of space exploration is Made in China.
Nope. India put a satellite in Lunar orbit a year ago and has a mission planned to Mars. My money's on them.
