It'd be shocking in light of all the other traits that they didn't have in common with us.
why would it be so shocking when "many of these traits manifest in modern humans"? A large number of these traits come and go based on region. I wouldn't be too surprised if their DNA was very similar- perhaps they are formed after inbreeding of societal outcasts? Say, genetic mutations being shunned off into a separate clan, mate for a few hundred generations... that'd make for some unusual-but-similar DNA (I'd guess, but who knows really. All arguments based on all the research I did while reading your post.:P )
If this is the worm I am thinking about, it was specific to one particular forum, which is quite popular and written in PHP. The exploit was a vulnerability in the source, not PHP itself. Is all JSP code automatically uber-secure?
And if the 'reward' of programming with a 'real' programming language is that much better, write your web-apps in C, or::shudders:: Assembly... For now, I'll use the tool that is best suited for the job based on it's merits and my ability to complement them. (Unless the reward is cash, in which case, I complement cash whoreing quite well...)
I already, at times, wonder if there is really that much advantage in a 6.1 of 7.1 system.
Do you even have any 7.1 or 6.1 sources? I've got about 400 DVD's, and while I haven't checked all of them, I looked through many to try and find anything encoded higher than 5.1. Sure, my receiver will fake the other two channels, but there's only so much it can do...
Then fuck the hospitals and public works too! After all, if I used my $50 million in the bank and personally bought up any and all land in an area to strategically force an entire city to bow to my whims, I sure as hell wouldn't want anyone to get the idea that they could infringe on my fucking precious rights.
Who told you that a right can't be abridged by anything? Are you truly so naive to think that everyone can hold mutually exclusive rights?
What, arguments related to the question? The point of the grandparent post was that they felt hospitals and other cases with genuine public benefit are an acceptable reason to force the sale of land. If a hospital (which certainly involves private corporations making a profit, at least in America) fits this description, then it's certainly possible that a private company could be as well. There's no nationwide law that would apply perfectly to all the possible variables to these situations. Perhaps it is best for the local communities to determine the best course of action, which is what this ruling does: it defers the decision to the state/local government.
Good point- what could they possibly gain by withholding it? Not to say that they should charge for it, but if it was available with a fee, at least they could offset some of the costs in collecting and maintaining it, right?
Any "advantage" you may have gained is lost by the time it gets to the consumer.
How so? Musicians that use tube amps prefer the 'color' that the tube gives the sound. The musician likes that the tube gives preference to certain frequencies. Digital processing more accurately represents the sound that is being amplified. Musicians that do use tube amps typically only use them as pre-amps anyways. The digital amp accurately reproduces the color of the tube pre-amp.
You are talking about the brodacast flag that the FCC attempted to implement, which was shot down, and fair use rights that are only assumed. This is the point that I'm trying to make: 'Fair Use' as it is currently only gives expressed permission to re-use content in a very limited context (eg. Reviews, research, etc.) The street definition of fair use (for lack of a better term) doesn't actually exist, and won't exist until one of two things happen: 1. Fair use is challenged and won in the Supreme Court in the context of mass distribution of copyrighted material for personal use, or 2. Fair use for personal/household use is expressly defined via legislation.
Now, assuming that this proposed legislation is brought about the way it is implied in the TFA, fair use of broadcast material is now legal and must be honored by the broadcast flag capable equipment.
If you are really willing to put your trust in the Supreme Court to uphold Fair Use as it is commonly accepted today, I'd suggest you read up on it.
Hmm? If our Fair Use rights were solidified in this proposed new bill, what rights would we lose to a broadcast flag? What people currently argue as 'fair use' has yet to be truly tested unless you count the Betamax issue. With a bill like this, even with a broadcast flag, we would retain the right to copy media within a household. What extra rights are you guaranteed with the current system?
I think his point is that Microsoft is setting up the XBox 360 as a competitor to a PS2++, but that Sony is putting the PS3 out in some other context. Sure, maybe he's playing the "We'll have something really cool in six months, so don't commit to your new XBox yet!" card, but I'm curious if they're planning on some sort of crazy new concept. I'm sure that they have something up their sleeves, but I'm curious if it will be truly great, or a replay of the emotion engine.
You do realize that they might want to make backups, right? At least this way there doesn't need to be some sort of Google Mail task force running around making sure that every last bit info is always blasted away as soon as you pull it from the server. You also realise that any ISP will store your messages at some point? I worked for a mid-sized ISP in the dot-com boom, and they made backups of server-held messages, especially before server replacements and other maintainence.
Oh- and nobody wants to read your e-mail. Really. There's no point, and it's not even remotely feasable(sp?).
This is one of the biggest reasons I went with a projector. Of course, everything else worked for me: ambient light, place for a screen, and a good spot to mount it. Not everybody can make it work, but if it can, you can end up with an HD display (or close to in the case of my X1) that's bigger than you'd get with a TV, weighs 6lbs, and cheaper.
Are you saying you'd rather have 4 LCD's glowing in your pockets? When everything is in one device, you only have one screen lit/one speaker(or headphone jack)/one network connection being used at one time. If you were to connect to the internet using a PDA that didn't include the phone, you'd be forced to use another device that would also be using power.
Sure the batteries may last longer when you have separate devices, but if you're willing to hulk around all that stuff, why not pack around the second device's size in battery and use a combination device that's more efficient?

Whoa.... just checking some of the sample audio now. Don't forget +72 heavy.

What if those offices were the key point in brining a large company and hundreds of jobs into a withering economy?

Who says it's glued to the ATM? Maybe it's just somebody looking over the shoulder, maybe it's on some nearby equipment, etc...
1983 actually... There's the 60% exchange rate on Canadian Asshats.
Maybe it doesn't work anymore, but I take it you've never telnet'ed into a mailserver to send some e-mail from Bill Gates to a gulible pal? :)
Which is why, just in case, I give a couple extra 'fake' button pushes. I've actually had somebody behind me comment on how many pin numbers I have.

IIRC, one of the requirements for all 360 games was the ability to have music playlists that could use music your personal files.

Just like how I didn't preorder Halo 2, and I had to wait, like two hours! What if you had to wait for two hours for an XBox 360!?
And you will be tied to a 3-ton TV installation.
