Unless your game contains sprites/sounds etc. either ripped directly or falling into the category of "derivative work"
They look derivative enough to me. It's also "Based on the classic arcade game Pac-Man", and update 1.05 increased the speed of Pacman. Thus, he is using the character Pacman. The ghosts also appear to be quite close to what they appear in the arcade game.
Still, there's plenty of room to create Pacman clones without using Pacman. For example, CD-Man replaces the pizza with a biped rather, Lock-and-Chase replaces the ghosts with police, and Lady Bug adds spinning walls.
I was also for it when they released the collateral murder video, that was a serious war crime
Not according to the pilots. When they're in an area where they're being shot at, and at the distance where they saw an individual crouching around a corner with what appears to be a long cylinder, or a silhouette that somehow looks like its carrying an AKA-47, they think they're bad guys.
Note that when they saw a target crawling on the ground, they didn't shoot because they didn't see a weapon.
and coverup that needed to be exposed.
That's the real issue - not the fact that civilians were fired upon.
If your hash algorithm can be cracked within seconds, then it's too weak. Either increase the number of rounds (alternating with the username and password on each round), or change to a slower algorithm.
If you get the hash calculation time to 1 millisecond and place it against a computer that has 10000 cpu-core equivalent, then it takes 6 hours to guarantee a crack, or 61 days if the user included capital letters.
Since they'd be exerting such force whether you vote their way or not, there's no reason not to vote your own way.
They can easily exert force over a given riding. I can't find the ref, but some country rounded up voters in a riding that sided with an opposition party.
I'm sorry, but you can not quote Wikipedia on any political issue.
The correct method is to balance out a Wikipedia political quote is to quote Conservapedia, rather than whine about something that can be insta-swapped by another reference. After all, it gives equal weight to both sides of the story, making it "fair and balanced".
And so far, no believable evidence that any errors actually changed the outcome of any election other than in those cases where it was so close that even human error could tip the balance.
The error cropped up in Volusia's 216th precinct of only 585 registered voters. A Global Election Systems (acquired by Diebold Election Systems now Premier Election Solutions) voting machine showed that 412 of those registered voters had voted. The problem was that the machine also claimed those 412 voters had somehow given Bush 2,813 votes and in addition had given Gore a negative vote count of -16,022 votes
This margin of error alone was greater than the population of the affected riding, and is well beyond human error. It also caused a riding to appear it supported the candidate they didn't vote for.
Of course the totally electronic voting systems, with NO physical record remains pretty much un-audit-able.
Actually, they can be audited if you want your vote as part of a public record. In that case, the parents/employer/mafia/dictator will demand you vote in a certain pattern.
In the amount of time you spent making incorrect claims, you could have easily setup a probability table showing the correct answer. Or ran a few simulations.
there are two doors, and either one may have the prize
and the probability has to be considered independently.
Only if the correct door changes, or if the other person doesn't know which one is the correct door. Neither of these is the case.
There are two real probabilities you need to look at - the chance that your initial door is correct (1/3), and the chance your initial door is incorrect (2/3). Since the other person opens doors that he knows aren't correct, it's not changing his chance that you initially selected the wrong door.
0.0000....1 = 0 It follows from all the same reasoning for.999....=1
No, since 0.0000....1 represents a number that approaches zero, but isn't zero. If you use that number in a division, you get infinity, as opposed to an undefined or indeterminate result.
HTTP and the browsers already allow for that. It's just that sites don't want to use the built-in HTTP authentication mechanism,
Basic HTTP only supports password-only authentication. It doesn't allow more complex logins such as a challenge-response system or anything that requires additional complexity.
Also, some CGI apps might not have enough permissions to manipulate headers (e.g. those found on shared webhosts)
Since the kids are more likely to be put to work instead of attending school. Which is economically better in the short term but bad in the long term working as a poverty trap.
Unless the kid turns out to be the breadwinner or otherwise has his income spent rapidly, it's perhaps a better economic choice. Even if you get a $4/hr job at 20 hours/week when the child turns 16, and save 50% of that (which should be higher, since the child shouldn't need to support the family financially), you would get ~$2000/year. Upon reaching 19 (where you can enroll as a mature student), college tuition might be $1000/semester, allowing about 6 semesters of study if things go well. There's also scholarships or burseries available for those financially disadvantaged, and there are also co-op placements as well.
The figures may be off slightly (e.g. $4/hr is probably below minimum wage), but is good enough. The only catch is that it has to be done properly - otherwise, you'll dodge one poverty trap of not receiving a useful education and fall into another of not completing the real education.
But if it's 50, are you going to use deliberate obfuscations in it?
Yes. All you need is ~6 randomly generated passwords of 8 characters each. Since I know all six, I can type them in a specific order to get a 48 character password, and simply add two additional characters.
Have you ever tried to download an operating system update only to have it fail and have to start all over?
Any download system that does not support resuming downloads is broken. Especially with the invention of resuming-download systems such as HTTP/1.1, Getright, and a whole ton of download managers.
Bittorrent already has built in checksumming which most people don't do with regular downloads
Bittorrent requires checksumming because it has to pull data from random sources, some of which may attempt to poison the Torrent. It relies on the SHA-1 checksum, which isn't broken yet, but a dedicated enough individual can find a way to poison such a system.
If an attacker manages to get enough control to manipulate HTTP downloads, he can also manipulate the posted checksum as well.
If you're worried about corruption appearing in HTTP, remember that there's already checksumming on the packet level, as well as some found in the compression algorithm used in most downloads.
Are your parents expert enough in abstract math to teach that to you? How about world history? How about computer science? Again, when you go beyond the absolute basics, a teacher with experience in a given subject is indispensable.
In the computer science field, I was able to self-learn much earlier than what it was introduced in education. In fact, it's probably best to self-learn as much as you can, or at least build a personal reference that you can use later, since you will probably not encounter stuff otherwise. Basically, if you learn computers at the rate presented in public schools, you'd be there for quite some time (assuming they don't have some sort of asinine discipline system, in which case don't bother.)
For artwork, I haven't self-learned much, but I see much more potential than going through a teacher. Basically, drawing freehand circles taught things a bit better than what amounts to splashing paint on a canvas - since it's a technique that should improve other things in art.
Math was also self-learned by blitzing through textbooks. However, I managed to mess up one of the concepts and it was not corrected for at least a year, despite having a teacher allegedly review it. That's why you don't use learn by example> in a textbook with only one example.
It's quite possible to store the tweet in 140 characters, while just as easily as escaping sensitive characters on an HTML interface. It's called escaping on demand, and any library that deals with HTML should have that feature already.
You can only do so much raytracing in the original games. For example, Quake doesn't support or include the map information to create visually detailed worlds - after that, you're guessing on how the world should be shown.
Duke Nukem 3D, while it did have surveillance, only had one screen. If you stopped watching the screen, it would render a blocky image for one of the cameras it monitors rather than a clear image.
It took until at least the Unreal Engine before a multi-screen display was possible, and I'm not sure how much that impacted the framerate.
Further, most of the time they only asked this because they were too incompetent to guess, not because guessing wasn't possible.
Simcity 2000 could guess that I was using a Trident SVGA card, but couldn't be sure if I was. If I said that it wasn't, it gave a list of other possible video cards. If you then said it was none of these or that you didn't know, it would default to the VESA SVGA standard even if that standard wasn't supported by your video card.
Also, detecting video cards was probably as difficult as detecting audio cards, especially during a time where there was no "plug and play" standard that made them easily identifiable. The only reason most games detected sound cards was because of the "BLASTER" environment variable, which had to be set manually before the game launched - and it still didn't auto-detect things like General Midi, Roland sound cards, etc.
He explained that suppliers must provide a service "which makes no distinction arbitrary content, applications or services based on the source of their origin or ownership."
In other words - no VOIP traffic prioritizing or in fact traffic shaping of any kind. Sorry Skype users, you'll have to stick with the big business telcos!
There's a set of bits in IP meant to adjust QoS, which is a non-arbitrary way of handling things. Thus, Bittorrent can claim itself to a minimal QoS, which is announcing to nearby routers that they're the first ones to go if there's a problem. Likewise, an RSS feed may declare it to be a low QoS, and defer to a normal QoS (such as from an HTTP browser), or a high QoS (such as real-time video conferencing or telephony.)
In this case, it's the applications themselves that volunteer to be dropped as issues arise from QoS, rather than being arbitrary.
They only work 9 months as part of a regular school year. The other three months are supposed to be for "professional development" where they upgrade skills in order for the school to remain relevant, or as part of planning for next year/semester's lessons. Some teachers may also be involved in summer courses for those wanting to reach ahead or needing to catch up. These 9 months of work aren't 8:30-3:00 jobs. If they need to assess student's learning to the demands of the school board, they can only do so if they work to 4:30 or otherwise take work home with them (i.e. homework). Since there aren't teacher's assistant at the highschool level beyond bored students, they have to manually mark the homework themselves - and in event of a work to rule, can't finish it on time.
Besides, the teachers also have trouble with some children in the mandatory daycare system. Some simply cause trouble, while others are bored and want to get out as soon as possible. The end result is gradual burnout for those who aren't suited for teaching.
Slashdot Mirror
On a single PS2 port I have keyboard, mouse, and an X-Arcade dual tankstick.
NO DRIVERS REQUIRED.
That's because the tankstick acts as a keyboard, and relays any keypresses from the actual keyboard to the computer.
USB needs drivers, both for the device and the controller hub.
Modern systems already provide said drivers. If you have a system that doesn't, it's probably a pre-Y2K system, or is too early in the boot process.

Has the US government, as a policy, condoned or ordered any of the following on a large scale?
Citizens of Japanese descent were forced into internment camps during the second world war, and given only 5 minutes to pack up.
Alleged members of the communist party were persecuted for being communist, regardless of assistance lended during the Second World war.
