This actually was the case for the PS/2, as Sony highly boasted. However the real reason is because it was using an American-Designed MIPS processor. Any other computing device with a similarly powerful processor was export-restricted as well.
I assume both twins are guilty. With ovemr a dozen cases it looks like always one was commiting a crime and the other one tried to fabricate an alibi.
Doesn't change the solution. If both twins are guilty, a detailed DNA analysis will still be necessary to pin the correct crime to the correct twin. You don't get to be convicted just because you probably committed some of a list of crimes.
Do the DNA test and get the right twin. And the other one goes to jail for perjury and harboring a criminal. Seems a win-win here, and will discourage anyone else from trying this tactic.
While the stones are great because they don't add some arbitrary amount of water, I do like a few drops in my scotch to open up the flavors a bit. This is particularly true with overproof scotches.
For a lark, take a shot of water and add a few drops of scotch. I find that i can pick up on many flavors that get lost in the overall intensity of the drink. Also its like homeopathy for drinkers:-)
Homeopathy would be more like adding a few molecules of scotch per glass of water and then somehow claiming this is stronger than the full strength stuff straight from the bottle.
After all the complaints of slashvertisements yesterday, at least something is back to what we are used to over the last 15 years. Complete lack of grammar and editing.
What is the point of even sticking around any more?
Pretty sad state of affairs.
People have been saying its been time to go for years. The amount of useful discussion per article is as low as I can remember. Even the trolls are not putting in the effort to be amusing and offensive.
There is still no evidence that Saddam gave up his chemical weapons. Just because they weren't found in Iraq, doesn't mean they were destroyed. It's very likely that they were transferred to another insane state. Iran comes to mind immediately. Besides, he had the opportunity, actually, many opportunities, in the lead-up to the invasion, to present evidence that his weapons had been destroyed, allow independent investigators to inspect his facilities, and make nice with the world at large. He, instead, chose to posture and puff his chest out in defiance.
Anything that happened to Saddam was his own doing.
Spoken like someone that does not understand mid-east politics. Of course Iraq had chemical weapons at some point. Before 1990 Iraq had chemical weapons with the intent to USE them on Iran. They were at war for 8 years. Chemical weapons were used multiple times. Iran has the capability of making their own chemical weapons. There are many far worse groups that could have this stuff.
How the hell can it be a shortage when they still put corn in damn near every food product produced in the USA?
Perhaps now that people are on to the corn lobby and trying to switch foods to real sugar they are turning to manipulating the ethanol market to make more money.
Your post triggered my registering there, and I signed. Now, the reason why I never registered before is... I'm not american!
While registering I basically waited for an IP or domain name or postcode detection (the way merchant site do when not wishing to handle foreign shipping), but no, nothing. I entered my plain, open European coordinates, and indeed was accepted, like an US voter apparently. This is, well, striking.
That is because nobody in the government cares. The petition website is a farce, no significant action is ever taken on the petitions that gain enough signers.
Fine, but that does not invalidate the point. Regulations slow down some forms of commerce, but they prevent others from abusing the system. So a balance must be struck between slowing down the economy and allowing corruption and abuse.
It is very common in 3rd world countries, but even in first world nations there are people that have armed guards.
However I suspect the "banker's well trained soldiers" the GP is referring to are the police forces and armies of the United States. As in, bankers buy politicians, which craft laws and direct their military forces to protect the bankers.
If you reuse the same password on sites, it will eventually get hacked, no matter how secure your password is.
You could vary a base password per site. But you would have to do it in a way that someone who knows the password for a single site would not be able to figure out the scheme.
If you took the image yourself with your own camera, you can be pretty sure you are the only one in the world who has an exact digital copy of it.
Or just use a password protected RSA key.
The issue, of course, is that in order to log in you need to have the file. So either the file must be on your computer, or some device you carry with you. Either way, it can be stolen. Even with a simple password that might only take days to crack, it means they need to break in and steal something before they can start.

You mean you have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy.
I thought corporations were people. Can't they roll over in their grave, too?
Only if they are dead.
Good reviews for the Toilet Seat book as well.
Actually, "Better than Twilight" may not be a compliment.

I am now concerned.
Then what's the issue with alcohol?
I keep running out of it.
Obviously the TLC NAND is named for the Tender Loving Care you need to give it during use.
I think the Slack Lazy Careless stuff is more robust.
I will just stick with the My Little Crony NAND for now.
I watched Iron Chef and -lost- a kidney. Never played Master Chef.
... literally _lost_. it responds to pee, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Do the Scandinavians hate to be away from the mobile phone markets?
Besides, mobile phones do not work from mars.
Do you mean rendering engine?

15 years here at least, and now we have this.

Fast, good, cheap; pick any two.
In real life, it's pick one.
In real real life, workers don't even get to choose which one.
And neither do customers.
It was in a James Bond movie, so it must be true!
Oh it is quite true.

That is why I have been using the Kelly-Bootle standard unit. It's all arbitrary, so lets pick the arbitraryist of them.

You could vary a base password per site. But you would have to do it in a way that someone who knows the password for a single site would not be able to figure out the scheme.
What if you used an image as a password?
Or hash a 1 Kilobit key from that image?
If you took the image yourself with your own camera, you can be pretty sure you are the only one in the world who has an exact digital copy of it.
Or just use a password protected RSA key.
