No, it is not. Your computer does not have an infinitely long tape (or anything equivalent to it). What you have is the equivalent of a long, finite tape.
Step 1: Congress allocates a large amount of money to bet on this and places a huge bet Step 2: Obama makes a announcement that meets the criteria Step 3: US collects huge winnings Step 4: Obama retracts announcement
Sense vehicular motion (including vibration) and shut down the texting function while in motion.
No, that would also block passengers. (Including everyone on the bus or subway)
Also these laws do nothing to stop the million other ways people might be distracted while driving. Why not just ticket people for driving erratically instead of policing what they are doing in their car? Or better yet, give me the auto-driving car I was promised years ago and this becomes a non-issue.
I don't see the problem. So you'd feel better if they instead spent more money on manufacturing, etc. to have two different CPUs. So you'd rather pay $250 or $200 for your choice of CPU than pay $175 for the single CPU with an option to upgrade it for $50?
See, you are trying to use the wrong system for the wrong job again. For that just use a unary number system. Then your fingers themselves can be the answer your question.
I can calculate it completely in base pi: 10.0 done. What's all the fuss about? You just need to be smarter when picking your bases and you can avoid all this trouble.
Or perhaps convert it to ASCII to see if pi actually represents a story of some kind that is being told to us by the aliens.
You know that's the revelation at the end of a sci-fi novel by a certain revered astronomer, right?
Unless you only saw the Hollywood movie of it - which completely omitted that whole idea. I guess that was so she could have more romance time with that bongo playing guy.
Sounds like we're going after the wrong wiki. Wikipedia seems to be the real threat to the the US. Any volunteers to say Jimbo gave them the bad touch?
"Yes, 4 is a valid badge number, so that's almost certainly a legitimate FBI guy."
OK, I guess we'll need to switch badge numbers to be the name the agent signed with a private key controlled by the FBI director.
Plus side: Anyone can verify that a badge belongs to a particular named person by checking against the public key. Down side: Badge numbers are now 500 digits long and weigh 30 pounds.
So how exactly did the soldiers end up in the dangerous places which are Afghanistan and Iraq in the first place?
We were in Afghanistan because that's where the people that attacked us were based (at the time anyway). We were in Iraq because... LOOK OVER THERE AT THAT SHINY THING... (*runs off*)
I'm sick of hearing about the drunken pirate. From the more neutral accounts I've read, She wasn't kicked out of the student teaching program JUST be cause of the photo. Her supervisor had cited (on her past performance reviews before the photo) a lack of professionalism and a lack of understanding of the subject matter she was teaching. The pirate photo AND complaints about her supervisor on her myspace were just cited (in the story) as the last straw. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2008/12/court-rejects-appeal-over-student-teacher-drunk-myspace-pics.ars
However, if I ever lose my job - I want to get her lawyer. He's done a great job of turning this from "I'm crappy at my job and don't get along with my boss, and I got fired" to "OMG look at me I'm being repressed".
Can you give me an example of government regulation that did not end up favoring entrenched incumbents in the industry more than potential competitors or consumers?
I wonder if they will help you move, or give you a ride to the airport. Might be worth it to avoid annoying your actual friends. (Assuming they're cheaper than a cab or movers)

My computer is Turing complete

Doht - I should scan down further to see if anyone else had the same idea already next time.

There -- budget problems solved.

Wouldn't that void my warranty?
They should send this guy to Pescadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane - I think they have experience working with this sort.

Gran gets 30 years in jail. She's 96.
I missed out profit ...It is all bad for Gran.
I don' t know - sounds like free nursing home care to me. I'll have to remember this strategy for later.

"Thank you for calling 9-1-1. What is the nature of the emergency?" I'd like to speak with my lawyer!
Read section 412. It permits indefinite detention of immigrants and non-citizens.
Except that he is a US Citizen (from TFA, I don't think the summary mentioned)
Example: the 100-200 line perl scripts
200 lines of perl ? Isn't that enough to code SkyNet. (While disguising it as simple line noise).
...get one of those damn kids out of my hair. Any takers? SHould I put them on craigslist or ebay?
I don't think ebay allows that sort of thing -- so I guess craigslist.

they just want an iPhone.
Well, it does have the wifis and the bigger Gee Bees.
I'm not a member of any organized party. And NO, I'm not a Democrat either.
