That doesn't mean the law is right. The fact of the matter is that if there are two people that can perform a job, and one can perform it cheaper, it makes sense for the economy to have the job done cheaper. I ask you, why is it the law that a person that happened to be born within arbitrarily drawn lines in the sand deserve to charge more for the same job than someone born outside that line?
I don't think anyone's claimed to have proven that the Big Bang theory is absolutely true. It's simply the best explanation for the current observed facts.
In science, most things can simply not be proven true. You can drop a ball a thousand times, and even if it falls to the ground, the 1001st time, it could rise up to the ceiling. There's no way to prove that it will fall downwards. Similarly, I don't think the big bang can be proven, but based on everything we know, it's the best explanation, just like based on everything we know, we think the best prediction is for the ball to fall down.
Actually the article states that it only lets through about 10% of the light, which is apparently the optimal ratio to provide sufficient lighting in cloudy weather while blocking uv rays, and excessive solar gain.
I'm using the Motorola V220, it has a mini-usb connector, which you can connect directly to your computer, and download MP3s, images, etc. It only has 1.8MB or so of storage, so you have to re-encode your mp3s at a lower bitrate, and maybe crop it also, but overall it's not too bad. And it's got quad-band, a camera, and quite a few other features.
Wouldn't the bank records and statements still be available at the bank? I'd image that this could be handled just like any other bank account where the bank will transfer the funds according to the will or the appropriate laws.
Why should the student have to tell you anything? It's his right as an American citizen to make a perfectly legal request under the Freedom Of Information Act, There's no law requiring people to justify their requests, and just because he's not authorized to access them doesn't mean he should be investigated for being curious about their locations.
He does have perfectly legit reason and he's told them (as stated in the article): he was curious about the underground tunnel network, and wanted to know its dimensions.
And, how exactly should he have "known that'd happen for making such a request without a clear reason for doing so."? What next? Someone being investigated for looking up the whitehouse on a map "without a clear reason for doing so"? Why should anyone who doesn't work there, or is planning to visit, look it up on a map? He was simply curious, and made a legitimate request for the information, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I think mens rea refers to the fact that you knew you were committing the act in question, regardless of whether you knew it was illegal or not. In the case of the file sharers I think the defence was that they didn't know that they were sharing, not that they didn't know it was illegal.
I think the most convincing argument for the existence of time is special relativity. Since identical clocks move at different rates in moving objects than in stationary objects, it must be true that time actually exists, and the clock just doesn't tick at a certain rate because it was made so.
I agree that copying is not exactly the same as stealing, but the company does lose something (albeit less than what they would've lost with a physical product), they lose you as a potential customer. This isn't a very good analogy but jsut to explain, suppose I took your $20 bill, made a perfect copy then returned it to you, you've lost nothing. But the value of it has decreased because I have it too.
The military encrypts all their data though, so it doesn't matter, it's not like they send plaintext over the satelite. It's like using a VPN connection, even though anyone can see the data going through the internet, only the ends points can actually view the data.
I could be wrong, but I was always taught that the one of the causes of the civil war was that the states had too much power, and the federal government had too little. Since everybody has such differing opinions, it's hard to remain a single country unless there's a central body with some authority, sort of controlling it all.
I don't know which pages you guys are looking at but at this site http://members.lycos.co.uk/hostintheshell/, at the very bottom there's a link to both the compiled executable and the source. And it says, "This should compile cleanly on linux and BSD, and should be easily portable. The source code is released under the GPL."
A while ago I read about a theory (not sure what it's called), but it basically says that anytime there's on observer he or she becomes part of the quantum uncertainty, so to him or her the system has collapsed but to the outside world it's still an uncertainty
For example, in the schrodinger paradox, if you were to look inside the box, the wave function would've collapsed for you. But the outside world, both you AND the cat are in a state of quantum uncerainty.
So in a sense we could say that everything we observe is evolved to us, but outside the universe it's still in a state of uncertainty.
I remember reading a couple of years ago, that Blackcomb was indeed going to be the next version of Windows, (i.e. the successor to windows.net server). But then they decided to add an intermediate release because Blackcomb was too far away. Now they've decided to again scrap Longhorn?
On another note, all the Windows codenames (Whistler, Longhorn, Blackcomb), are all cities in BC, Canada.

I can prove any real number m, equals any real number n.
I can understand (even I don't agree with) their reasons for blocking anti-semitic, and white supremacist speech, because it's hate literature. I can find similarities between them and anti-slander laws. But why are anti-abortion sites banned? Isn't that going a little too far? There are enough people on both sides of the issue, and I can't see the justification for censoring people opposed to abortion.
I'm not exactly sure, how they are rating the countries, but I'm assuming they're referring to the freedoms the countries' (governments') allow. So just because the freedoms are not exercised by the newspapers does not necessarily mean that they are not there.
I'm not a physicist or anything, but I'd think that that point is the event horizon. Because if you think about it, anywhere, outside, if you shine a light, it'll get bent, but not quite 180 degrees, so it can still escape. But once it's inside the event horizon, it'll turn 180 degrees, and go back to the singularity.
Quantum computers work differently from computers today. In computer science there's something called Big O notation to sort of describe relative speeds of algorithms. Most brute-forcing methods probably have exponential times. SO if an algorithm had a O(2^n), adding a single extra-bit would double the time it took to brute force. Quantum computers can reduce this to polynomial time for a O(n^2). So if you add an extra bit, the time it takes is only increased slightly. And I think that key-lengths that take a long time to brute force with quantum computers, would be so large, that it wouldn't be feasible to use.
But there are different methods of encryption for quantum computers. Althought as far as I understand, they all work on the transmission medium, and not on the actual data, so I don't how this would apply to routed data, or stored data.
Actually, the EFF has the MPAA's unabridged commments in addition to their own, separated, and clearly marked. So, going to the EFF site does give you both standpoints.
Why does it need to be huge?
The only requirement is that the space station is spinning, and that the centripetal force matches the force of gravity on earth.
mg = mv^2/R
v^2/R = g
Therefore it should be possible to set the velocity according to the radius, so that it works out to 9.80 m/s^2.

Yes it is,
A->C is exactly the same as ~C->~A, so switch C with B and you have A->~B is the same as ~~B->~A

Actually you can, it's called proof by contradiction. You assume something is true, then reach a contradiction therefore it must not be true.

m = n
