You do realize that a result with only a 0.001 chance of happening still does happen 1 time in a thousand, don't you? How are you going to base anything on a random sampling? You can't prove an outcome is biased, only that the likelihood has a certain probability of occurrence.
What makes you think that Google will change their minds? They have automated the collection of information.
Google information for jumpbump.mine.nu: "Of the 4329 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 0 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 09/21/2008, and suspicious content was never found on this site within the past 90 days.
Malicious software includes 7523 scripting exploit(s), 2911 trojan(s). Successful infection resulted in an average of 0 new processes on the target machine."
So Google already knows that this site is not hosting malware, but blocks it anyway.
Thank you, Senator Brownback. The intent of the DMCA is certainly good - to protect public forums from thousands of copyright lawsuits by providing simple guidelines for removing material. If the penalties for false takedown notices were pursued as zealously as the penalties for copyright infringement, then it would have met that intent and been fair. Unfortunately, the weight is completely on the side of the DMCA abuser. To counter a DMCA takedown notice, you have to counter-claim that you are not infringing, put your material back up and risk a $150,000 penalty for willful infringement, whereas the other side risks what? Harsh language? Penalties for false notices are few, although the EFF is pursuing some suits.
1) The drive works but you erased some files - they can find the undamaged file data and restore the deleted directory entries. They send you back the working drive.
2) The drive doesn't work - they take off the electronics and replace it with the equivalent from a new drive. Then they read off the data and burn it to DVDs or copy it to a new drive.
Neither one of these approaches will recover data that has been deliberately erased.
I have bought several computers at the local store [CTS Computers in Newton, MA in my case]. I might pay a little more than I could find searching online, but it is configured exactly the way I want, tested in the store, and has a lifetime guarantee on labor. If you do build, I recommend this test software which I just boutght the paid version of: http://www.passmark.com/products/bit.htm
Actually, I think it's good for news organizations to report proactively instead of waiting for what they know is going to happen and then just interviewing a bunch of victims. Getting information out there now may prevent some scams from working.
Anyway, I would think twice about sending money to a charity with a site on Road Runner:
Building it in the median of a freeway puts it away from access by people who might walk or throw things on the tracks. It also lets people sit in their gas guzzlers and watch others pass them at 380 KPH.
On the contrary, a big company like Comcast has too much to lose to rock the boat. A small, private ISP is less likely to be worried about shareholders since it may be employee-owned by people with strong convictions about freedom.
Also the cost of waste disposal is impossible to calculate, since even after nearly 50 years of nuclear plant operation there is no consensus on how to do it.
Liberal/Conservative is the scale which balances traditional, upper-class values (conservative) with rights of newly enfranchised classes such as women, minorities, poor, gay or disabled (liberal).
Authoritarian/Libertarian is a different scale which balances centralized control (Authoritarian) with individual rights (Libertarian).
People's positions on these scales vary widely with different issues depending on their own background and the likelihood that the government would support them. For example, those seeking firearms rights are not likely to want a Democratic Congress to decide the issue. However, when they want abortion limits they may favor a federal law if set by a Republican-controlled Congress. This isn't inconsistency; it just points out that the labels are a way of observing and classifying behavior, they don't control how people act.
"So, maybe broken isn't the word, but certainly, there is something wrong."
According to evolution theory if 30% of people are wired this way it isn't "wrong". They would have died out without passing it on. I was wondering whether Edison had this "defect". You know he had tried carbon filaments multiple times before he finally got them to work in the electric light. If he had learned from his mistakes he would have given up on the light bulb long before that.
My guess would be that for most of human history there was enough randomness in the world that just trying your first idea again made sense, even though it failed the first ten times. Of course, in the last couple thousand years people have been trying to eliminate all of the randomness through logging, shooting, plowing and paving. So maybe it is no longer true.
Typical overhead HV transmission line uses aluminum strands (because its cheap) around a steel core (because its strong). Size is dependent on the current you want to carry. A typical spec will be for a maximum 5% voltage drop at the receiving end at worst case load and environmental conditions. For a 600MW line, that's quite a bit of power loss. However, conversion loss is going to be lower with AC transformers than HVDC.
The same people who claim that an embryo is a human life don't want to accept that it is actually part of its parents, and that they should be the ones to make decisions. When I die, all that will be left of me is my children. Of course I want to make medical decisions that leave "me" in the best possible health.
The other side of that argument is what is involved with that "free" phone. Verizon camera phones lock out picture transfers that don't go through their website, or loading your own ringtones instead of paying for theirs, or loading your own music files. The phone companies view that lockin as a revenue stream, they prefer it to you buying your own phone.

It must be true that this takes time. I've been programming in Perl for years and have yet to learn anything about the compiler.
The natural step from doing QA is writing the tests for QA: specs, scripting, network, database, there can be a lot involved.
Only if the University happens to have a student named John Doe.

Once you have a time machine, it isn't good enough to go back to 2000 and patent it.

The place I talked to has two methods:
1) The drive works but you erased some files - they can find the undamaged file data and restore the deleted directory entries. They send you back the working drive.
2) The drive doesn't work - they take off the electronics and replace it with the equivalent from a new drive. Then they read off the data and burn it to DVDs or copy it to a new drive.

Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
That's the last time I read a post by an Anonymous Cowherd.

Unless you recently fired a bunch of US Attorneys, in which case losing your memory can be extraordinarily helpful.

Since -2 can be an exponent, that's true.
