Hard disks also have a finite number of writes before they quit working, it's just a couple orders of magnitude higher. And typically high enough that a head failure is more likely than a media failure.
Minors have first amendment rights, which have to do with the right to speak, not the right to hear. This law restricts their right to hear. I'm fairly sure that minors will still be able to develop and publish all the violent video games they desire.
I wonder if the moderators who scored this funny were working on the obvious level (We like video games and our kids will have to fight for time on the console), or on the meta-level, where it's funny that the poster believes he can win that fight, because his children are still in the future.
And just to be clear, legally no and effectively no also. Plenty of underage kids get into R/NC-17 movies because enforcement is in fact quite lax in most areas of the country.
You've broken the google rule: if you refer the person to google for their answer, you have to prove google can find the answer by providing the search criteria (and your search criteria better find the right answer, or you'll get flamed heavily).
1) Compute the list of all possible tours. 2) Select the shortest tour.
Granted, there's no efficient way to solve the problem, but that's not the same as unsolvable. In fact TSP is proved to be NP-complete, so there are lots of translations to other solved problems available.
Not at all, road damage is mainly due to softening of the roads during heavy rains, which then allows cars to begin grinding little bits out, which leads to potholes, which are then self-compounding. Areas with no frost but heavy rains have very heavy road damage every rain season.
To clarify, I was using trolling as a verb, and in no way intended to elevate the slashdot editors to the level of media morons, even of the trolling type.
But that's exactly my point. Rain does massive, massive damage to our roadways every year. Spring road repair is always a huge task, costing a lot of money. Yet no one seems to be considering what will happen when in fact our cars dump more water on the roadways than rain does now. Multiply millions of hydrogen cars by the average 1.5 hours per day of commuting in LA, and compare to the rate of rainfall in that region.
Well, if nothing else gives it away, how about the image of the stereo connector with a bunch of labels on it describing the optical components and the massive memory it contains:
Now, supposing you're a super genius engineer, who has come up with all this clever technology advancement which no one else has been able to think of. Do you: a) design a nice new physical interface for it? b) make it 100% physically compatible with devices it is not meant to be plugged into so that it can be easily accidentally damaged?
This site is a pretty thoroughly obvious fake. In fact, you pretty much have to assume that the fakers are intentionally leaving it sufficiently fake to avoid tricking anyone even slightly technologically inclined, and that it is in fact only targetted at trolling news media morons and slashdot editors.
I've often wondered why no one comments on the issue of having all of our cars dumping a lot more water on the roads. Nothing eats roads quite like water, and no one seems to be adding in a factor for road damage when they consider the costs of converting to hydrogen vehicles.
You can never lose your job in one of the most volatile regions of the world? How long has it been since kuwait had a complete government turnover exactly?
Nah, lots of people even dress up their mice as mickey, so the clothes is entirely realistic, and standing on hind legs is a very common behavior as well when searching for food or learning the environment. So really, the talking is the only issue, and even there, mice do talk, but in mouse-language, so we could make a small suspension of disbelief and assume that Disney is just translating for us.:-)
There's a kinkos down the street from me with a color copier that you can do that on. 12c or 15c (actually, maybe 30c for two sided copying?) per sheet I think, and you can get 3 bills on a standard sheet.
OTP and (modern) algorithmic encryption are actually pretty close in quality: the weakest known point for both is transmission of the key (that is in both cases, a well funded attacker will find it easier to steal your key than to break your encryption).
It might be that that could change for algorithmic though.
But on the other hand, OTP is typically so much more vulnerable to key stealing that you might really be better off using algorithmic.
There's also quantum encryption for unbreakable secure transfer of information.
It all depends on who you are, how much data you have, your transmission methods and profiles, the funding and types of your opponents. No one choice of encryption suits every user or situation, and in fact those factors have a clear impact on the effectiveness of the various options.

It's actually a rather clever means for disposing of useless low income citizens, I think.
Four fingers is actually the correct number for the typical mouse's forepaw, so Mickey is actually anatomically correct.

And, sadly, that will spawn a whole new sub genre in the porn industry.
Yep, and its that disparity which is going to cause a bit of a collapse in the social infrastructure around here shortly.
Low income residents can often get free or near free pcs that are donated. So yes, compared to free, $5 is expensive. It's also not wireless.
Wow props for that post, it was brilliant.

Heh heh, we wish the team from CHINA were the discoverers. What they really are is the _publishers_.
If Apple is interested in the server market, severing ties with IBM is not the smartest move.

Presumably that's even hidden from developers by an API. It would be stupid not to.
You're right, I mean, seriously, if Einstein hadn't done his work, the world might not have nuclear weapons today!
Wait, what was the argument we're making again?
