if your ship was capable of doing the speed of light or even a significant portion of it then the radiation from the blackhole jet might be red-shifted enough that it would be easy to shield; instead of gamma radiation it might red-shift down to red light and not even have enough energy to power your solar cells decently.
that two meters on the outside could be a whole galaxy on the inside, add in frame-dragging and it would be like shooting a whomp-rat from a billion lightyears away
actually the original theory was fructose was better because it needed to be converted in the liver to glucose to be metabolized, and people wouldn't get the insulin spike that a high glucose sweetener would cause and less insulin means less fat. The problem is now we're seeing an increase in fatty liver disease in non-alcoholics which seems to be related to high fructose diets.
No I seriously remembered things, in fact they actually was disappointed and seemed to take it personally when they realized that their case just dissolved because I remembered where I spent a 5 dollar bill two months ago.
calling Castro a transexual might reasonably be considered vandalism, but truthfully other than that I don't see what the problem is; they didn't hide their IP addresses, they emphasized the positive and deemphasized the negative but they didn't make things up. Deleting ID numbers oohh that's bad, sending the black helicopters to wikileaks for publishing classified information might be bad, but it would be understandable.
could be them spy satellites can zoom in a lot better than they admit and sexual perversions are high on most government wish list for blackmail info. There are other methods less exotic like aerial photography, internet and signal intelligence. Of course it's more likely someone though it was funny.
Same principle. It's in the law, but it's also common sense.That depends on how you define common sense; your's is probably very different from the legal preditor's.
shouldn't an encrypted disk be filled with random data before the filesystem is installed so that it looks completely full from the outside and when bitstreamed w/o the passphrase? Why would you want to let someone know how big the files on the partition is when they don't have access to the decrypted filesystem?
It is, you'd need something like the storm bot-net to do it, sorry gotta go I hear the whap whap of black helicopter blades landing outside. no seriously you'd need a lot of computers, and running them would be expensive, maybe installing BOINC on government computers and running in the background would be useful for projects like this, especially unclassified ones.
I was once interrogated by some Army CID investigators and it is truly amazing what you can remember when when encouraged by real professionals. I wish they were around when I loose my car keys, because you not only remember what you had for dinner, you remember if you paid the check with a twenty or with two tens and how much you left as a tip.
When they have the safe and a warrant to search the contents, they can easily brute-force the container, with todays technology even a bank vault can be penetrated in an hour or so. When Law Enforcement presents me with a warrant and a request for the key or combination they are actually providing me with the courtesy of not destroying my container to access the contents. With the computer containing encrypted files personally I view the machine as an extension of my mind and feel it should be subject to being considered privileged communications and that the very fact that the files were encrypted indicates that I intended the contents to be held in confidence the same as if between me and my clergyman, attorney, accountant, healthcare providers or spouse.
An other point is the government's agent had possession of the laptop and the contents of the drive z in their unencrypted form and reason to believe that a crime had been committed and they lost the evidence by turning off the laptop! If I were a drug pusher and the cops used all the drugs they confiscated from me as evidence for the basis of a wild drug orgy, I'd walk because they lost the evidence! Why would the laptop be any different?
and lastly;
An officer opened the laptop, accessed the files without a password or passphrase, and allegedly discovered "thousands of images of adult pornography and animation depicting adult and child pornography."
I thought the courts decided that in order for child porn to be child porn it had to involve a real child, not a virtual child, nor an adult actor posing as a child for "theatrical" purposes.
One way they get around the 5th amendment is to grant immunity from prosecution for anything found or disclosed which seems to have the same effect of the 5th amendment. Something like that would be useful in convicting others involved by letting one person escape justice. I've often wondered why the "equal protection under the law" clause didn't apply, let one go, let all go.
That's the point of the self-incrimination thing, it's really inconvenient to the government when they are trying to catch terrorists and all, but what forgotten is that it wasn't too long ago when we all were considered terrorists, insurgents, seditionists, traitors and enemy combatant's by the British.
It damages WikiPedia by competing with it, solely so Google can make money. Wikipedia has hurt themselves far worse than anything that Google could or would ever do to them. The first hint of trouble in paradise was the admins behaving like a bunch of 13 year olds on the cheerleading squad picking on the AV club nerds and communicating via secret back channels, but this didn't last long when it became obvious the inner circle had beome an uber-admins deathsquad banning whole blocks of IP addresses just to silence one person; but I think the real coupe de gras will be
For more than six months, beginning in January of this year, Wikipedia's million-dollar check book was balanced by a convicted felon.
When Carolyn Bothwell Doran was hired as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Florida-based Wikimedia Foundation, she had a criminal record in three other states - Virginia, Maryland, and Texas - and she was still on parole for a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol) hit and run that resulted in a fatality.
Her record also included convictions for passing bad checks, theft, petty larceny, additional DUIs, and unlawfully wounding her boyfriend with a gun shot to the chest.
Doran left the charitable Foundation in July this year, after another DUI arrest and a violation of her probation. Wikipedia COO was convicted felon
UNIX, C, COBOL were 3nd generation; Lisp, Fortran and RPG II were 2st gen, before that there was assembler. Learning IBM 360 assembler was the path to true geekitude, and being able to make drum cards for your keypunch earned respect from your peers and operators alike.
What I've found is on my new machine an HP M8200, AMD64 dual cores 6000+, 3Gb Ram and SATA Drive and NVIDA video, Windows Vista Home Premium runs OK where Arch Linux x86-64 runs wicked-fast. The only thing comparable is the time from cold boot to loaded desktop.
The point is they're shipping the stuff from On to Az and there is a four hour wait for commercial traffic entering the United States over the Blue Water Bridges(the ambassador bridge and the tunnel in Detroit don't allow hazardous shipments), then a 48 hour drive by truck to the Hospital in Flagstaff and I'm sure that the patients aren't waiting on site for a fresh shipment each day so by the math they're getting almost nothing anyways. When I got my stress test they had a sign that said to avoid crossing the boarder for 3 days because you'd trip the radiation detectors and have to go through secondary, and I don't think it was because I live in a boarder town and got fresher stuff either.
Ha ha, that was good, it's going to decay in your body anyways. I knew a guy that worked in Nuclear Medicine, they would alternate weeks where they would wear their belt badge on their lapels and vica versa. The badge that was labeled as worn on the belt always had the lower doseage no mater where they really worn it; if they would do that to their workers what would they do to patients, I suppose you believe that the Chinese who will runover their own with tanks wouldn't use lead paint in our toys as well!

Asimov was asked questions about his fictional work "The Endocrinic Properties of Resublimated Thiotimoline" at the oral defense of PhD thesis.
Well President Jimmy who was a guberment train Nukular Ingineer told me it was pronounced kwork so there.

it's probably not that bad how many of us have one or two favorite passwords that are only in the 7 - 15 character range even in our geekitude.

The dosage changes constantly anyways so each draw is calculated, and double checked by measurement with a detector.
