Whether it's a disability or not, I think we should seriously consider segregating the two populations and putting them in different classrooms. I bet that, to achieve their best, they'll need radically different teaching methods.
Yup. Given the material's properties, I can't see any way of utilizing it without SOME mechanical action, which means the article's stated idea of a flat-panel refrigerator with no moving parts will never happen, at least not using this material.
No, REAL libertarians don't believe in corporations. Corporate structures isolate people from responsibility, which of course creates situations where "domination" occurs.
Libertarians believe in individual/partnership ownership, with joint and several liability for wrongs performed.
I've found most CDs, even fairly severely scratched ones, can be read if you clean them with tap water, wiping them with your finger (perhaps the oil helps fill the scratches and reduce the diffraction), buffing them with a soft wet paper towel, and then with a dry paper towel. Remember to always wipe and buff the CD radially outward from the center, and never sideways.
The layer of plastic above the metal or dye film that contains the actual data is thick enough that you can buff a significant amount of plastic off without damaging the data. The devices you've heard of do just that. Do note that removing the plastic may make the CD more sensitive to further damage, and copying them to another disc would be wise.
Shit NASA sends upnowadaysdoesn't blow up with this frequency.
NASA had a horrible string of failures when they began working on rockets to orbit; it looked bad enough that the public was hollering to shut the program down. It was years before they had better than 30% of their rockets fail to explode.
I have to admit, however, that NASA is both riddled with inefficiency and bureaucracy, and getting in the way of free enterprise with their subsidized cargo rates.
I had a young lady run a stop sign in front of my Ford Bronco when I was doing 55 MPH. Her car was of course a mess, as was mine; all I suffered from was a scrape on the shin.
A friend of mine was in a similar accident while in a standard-sized vehicle; he had to have his knee-joint replaced and his jaw wired shut for 2 months.
Yeah, the Bronco is a bit less maneuverable than your typical car, but considering how well I fared in a 15 year old SUV, much less the modern ones that DO have some better engineering towards absorbing a collision, I'm not surprised people prefer them.
Does MySQL allow one to store the indices in a separate file/drive from the rest of the database entries? That would speed things up significantly without needing a large SSD drive.
Why are we bothering with colonizing Venus? It's only about the same size as the Earth, which means if we've overrun the Earth exponential growth will mean we'll overrun Venus too shortly afterwards.
If we're going to be building floating cities, we should look at our friendly gas giants instead. Thousands of Earths worth of surface area means we'll have enough elbow room, at least for a while.
I'm not alone in this thinking, either; I got the idea from Charles Stross.
Two reasons: First, the average dimwit cellphone buyer will look at two prices, one higher but including taxes and one lower, will say "buh, lower is better" and get the cheaper plan.
The second reason is that if the taxes go up, the providers would wind up having to eat the difference. Hell, if most of the providers started covering the taxes, governments would really start jacking up the rates! Let the "evil" corporations complain, the politicians only care about the votes.
Figuring out the taxes on a phone line is rather complimakated, difficult enough that providers have made mistakes on it in the past and had to refund overcharges or eat the difference in undercharges. I'm not surprised that the salespeople don't know, and I'd bet nobody on phone support will know either. This is a brand new service, and once customers start receiving their typical monthly bills you'll be able to find out.
I'm wondering whether, in the days since the guy was arrested, any of the hardware is having trouble? Yes, they're reporting the network is running smoothly, but is that because nothing has broken or because there's enough redundancy in the system to keep things going? I'd think, in a setup as large as SF must need, SOMETHING would have malfed in the last few days.
I'm curious because it'd be interesting to know if the guy's network-fu is as good as everyone's been saying.

*sigh* Fine.

Why does it need to be non-profit? Why can't it just be reasonably priced?
But yeah, the answer to this problem is to create a CA that isn't expensive. What IS the procedure for starting a certificate authority?
Let me correct that for you.

Yup, this might work even better than the Apple TV.
Is that true if you have an alternative OS installed?
Apple TV.
It's very small, inexpensive, and can be hacked to run Linux. It'll output to HDMI/DVI.

Are there any statistics on how many Macs are being utilized as DNS servers? Is it more than three? [runs away]

Heh. Sorry. I suppose we need more international delimiter conventions then...

Raw materials are what asteroids are for. Aerobrake 'em and then inflate a balloon for easy pick-up.
More like a few thousand Earths per gas giant possible. There's a LOT of available surface area.

No, but usually there's ONE salesman in the store - or the city - who's going to have one, and they'll tell everyone else what they're paying.

So, some random - but short, say within 3 days - amount of time later, post a message saying "security fix implemented - please update".
That will alert folks that there's a security issue without spotlighting the problem.
Someone needs to call the acronym police on them. DLDOS??
I wonder if these exploits can be prevented using a filter in the compiler?
