Digg's and Slashdot's faults are pretty much the same: they use a moderation system that doesn't allow the end-user to filter out bad moderators.
For example, on/., it would be trivial to replace meta-moderation with a system that asked:
Would you like to see moderations from this user in the future? If you say no, that person's mods are now 0s to you. We'd all have differing views of/., based on our personal preferences, and organized gangs of moderators would be totally useless. And the more you metamoderated, the better your/. experience would be. Given a higher rate of participation in metamoderation, users with high levels of 'no' could be defaulted to 'off' for all users (becoming visible only if you've explicitly said 'yes' to that moderator).
But it will never happen on any discussion site because it would yield too much of the editorial control.
That's just unhooking, not removing. Removing in one move is best accomplished through the brute force method. Grab the side opposite the clasp and yank hard.
I'm curious about how that paid off. I've been removing bras two handed for ages now, and it has never been a significant or even minor inconvenience. Maybe it's because I have strong legs?
It's for the benefit of the abstracted, hypothetical scanner. Since I wanted to make a generalized statement about what would be good for the scanner, I have to treat him as a singular construct, best represented by the average views of the class.
Well, start with the most common definition in our society, assuming that is most likely to intersect with the largest portion of the potential screener population.
Assuming you believe this and aren't just being funny, put your brain into calculus mode and figure out the people years available during the 360 years of FLT vs 70 years of PNP.
I just read it again. The page 1 title is 'P=NP' (pasted straight from the title). I'm sure it's just a typo since they aren't through peer review yet, but it's a pretty funny typo.
Their trophy girlfriends tend to be. I mean, there's no avoiding scanning some of the wrong sex unless you're bi, so assuming you're a horny male heterosexual screener, your odds are best with the first class passengers.
So your claim is that the TSA cares enough about passenger wellfare to not plasmify their customers? I think you underestimate their devotion to providing a comfortable, pleasant travel experience.
I don't think we'll have to hyperinflate, but we are sure to inflate. We'll probably have a couple of decades of 10-15% annual inflation to work out a chunk of that problem. Good news for the poor, bad news for the rich.

Why not? As long as your growth gains outstrip your debt payments, you should be fine, as we have been for the last three or four generations of borrowing.

Palin is a MILF!
Tying someone else's shoes turns out to be pretty easy, as most parents learn. It's a mirror symmetric problem, so it really is functionally the same.
Or 1 computer for 1 day if the reference computer is an 8086. Or more likely if you are google, 12,775 computers for 1 day.

FLT is way ahead on difficulty by that metric.

On what basis can you claim that P=NP is slipperier, given that FLT took 360 years to prove, and we've only been on it for 70 odd years so far?
You forgot 'and I'm lazy'. Because NP is just hard, not impossible.
The 'proof' says so right on page 1.

And even the formal standards bodies for English are in favor of laser.

Nope, they became right when it got formalized as a word in the dictionary:

Yeah, if you have to be a scanner, definitely be a scanner for the first class passenger line.
Not the sharks with frickin' jetpacks.
I'm claiming that the bills will never come due at a rate we cannot afford.
I'm pretty sure farmers in the us have 4th amendment rights. I know farmers who keep seed and don't submit samples to Monsanto.
