The Bible prohibits a massive number of things ([...] incest [...]) -- premarital sex just aint one of them.
I see parts that say that a man can't sleep with his sister (Deuteronomy 27:22, Leviticus 20:17). However, Abraham got away with it (Genesis 20:11-12) and Lot had children by his own daughters (Genesis 19:36).
My mother once embarked on an effort to read the Bible to my brother and I, but balked around that part of the book when she apparently deemed it inappropriate material for children.
Bah...the next thing you know, they'll want me to put comments in my code!
This highlights one of the other areas of TopCoder competitions: other codes in your "room" get to rip apart your code in the "challenge" phase. That is, they get to look at it and come up with cases that will break it. If they submit a test case that breaks your code, you lose all points for your submission. If they're incorrect, THEY lose points and you keep yours.
This implies that writing hard-to-read code is actually a survival trait, since if your bugs are hard to find and the submitted test cases don't find the bug, you have a better chance of winning your room.
(Not sure if this is included in the Google Code Jam.)
The summary is 180 degrees wrong on the bill, which will (as the title suggest) protect blogs
This is clearly in violation of the Clear and Non-Misleading Bill Naming Act, which orders Congressional bill names to imply the exact opposite of their contents.
I'd rather have the government (aka us) which is accountable to the people providing the public service than a company that is accountable to no one but its shareholders.
Nonsense, you can always vote with your feet in a marketplace.
Unless you were suggest this private firm would have a government-authorized monopoly, which is not much different than the government doing the job themselves.
Our system is different from the US; instead of (basically) lumping everyone in the same school and making sure they all pass, we send people to different types of high school, based on how they perform on a test at the end of primary school.
In the United States (at least from my limited experience from two widely-separated states) this is sometimes accomplished for mathematics and science by having multiple course tracks. That is, a higher-track for the more mathematically apt, a lower-track for the more basic skills, and sometimes a middle track. For instance, I started algebra in 7th grade and finished a year of calculus in 12th grade, when I graduated high school. Others in the same schools didn't see algebra and geometry until high school, if at all, because of their placement scores.
The availability of these kinds of course differentiation is highly variable, and depends on having a well-funded school district. Many districts probably can't afford to do things like that.

A gas station we have in western PA, Sheetz, doesn't actually require a signature for amounts under 20$.
Many fast food restaurants in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, metro area do the same kind of thing, particularly during busy times, when not bothering with fetching a signature and checking it can really speed up the line.

P2P Now and Then

A p2p app wouldn't analyze every dll to find what program it is (such as quicken), because the quicken app doesnt end in.quicken, it ends in a microsoft file extension.
This is precisely my point. Such an app wouldn't claim that a DLL was a "Microsoft library".
There's already a crack for AES.. check the archives.
I wouldn't call it a crack, more of a theoretical vulnerability. When the attack's complexity exceeds the number of atoms in the universe, it doesn't seem much like a "crack".

HTML is an application of SGML. XHTML is an application of XML, which is basically a more convenient subset of SGML.

Of course, then why test 300 meters? Just hang a line from the ceiling; if it can climb 3 meters it can climb 300.
Because they've already done that and are now enhancing their tests?
The RIAA is shooting itself in the foot.
Is this really something that should be discouraged?

10. You only refer to the ninth planet as "Pluto-Charon"
9. You constantly correct everyone that Pluto-Charon is sometimes the eighth planet.
What, no complaints that they're really just a KBOs and not a planet/moon combination?

I hope that isn't a fan for air cooling I am seeing in the bottom left corner of the thing in this photo.
No, silly, that's an attitude adjustment fan.

Make it a no-fly zone or restricted to choppers with special pilot clearance.to an American (which I am) it probably doesn't mean anything, or possibly it's a kind of lime
Not to anyone who watched Lethal Weapon 2. They sprinkled the movie liberally with that word and one of the protagonists even made a bad pun with it.

Also in the news, some hobbyist auto enthusiasts have succeeded in adding regenerative braking to the Model T.

Let's just hope they never find out that we're spreading files encoded in Slashdot moderation scores.
I've always wondered (very half-heartedly) if GNAA-style trolls were encrypted communications.
He was greatly impressed by the land's resources, and he returned to Iceland and spoke about this land, which he called "the green land"'.
He was just trying to sell time-shares.

In that case, why not use Transmetta!
Because that extra 't' increases power consumption.
