Surprisingly, they have no check digits. There's a summary about how the numbers work on Wikipedia
The gist of it is that the first three numbers are "Area Numbers" which correspond to the Zip code of the mailing address you supplied when you applied for your SIN, the second three are "Group Numbers" which are issued in a weirdly non-sequential way and are for administrative grouping, and the last four are "Serial Numbers", which are issued in order within a group.
If you're curious, you can look up on socialsecurity.gov the highest Area Number which have been allocated (772), and the highest Group Number for each area,

WF does have conflicting interests - those of the senior mortgage-holder and the junior mortgage-holder are different, and as such, they need a settlement to secure hose interests. While they're the same company (at the top level), what matters more is the roles they're occupying in this suit.
So what the parent said is right - they (WF senior mortgage) need to treat all other creditors below them as equals in order to avoid allegations of preferential treatment, and the other they (WF junior mortgage) need to do their fiduciary duty to their shareholders and try to defend their interests in the building.
It's actually more common than you'd think. The meat of the story is really this line:
As holder of the first, Wells Fargo is suing all other lien holders, including the holder of the second, which is itself.
Wells Fargo (holder of the senior mortgage) is trying to clear out all the subsidiary mortgage interests so that it can sell the property. In the process of doing so, it has to sue itself for record-keeping purposes - if I'm going to buy some property, I want a clear case record showing that all existing claims have been discharged.
What will likely happen, however, is that junior Wells Fargo will settle with senior Wells Fargo, after doing some filings to show that it's done it's due dilligence in trying to protect it's fiduciary interest in the property.
Networking, particularly testing network reachability, seems overly complicated based on his description
For that specific point, this is one of those features that doesn't make any sense to most developers, but is great if you're a very good BES admin. The idea, from that point of view, is that you have very fine control over how applications (and this includes internal RIM ones) connect to the network so that you can control costs that may arise from downloading large files. For example, you may set it so that you can only download software updates on WiFi or Serial Bypass, but that you can download high-priority ones over the network if WiFi isn't available.
Having said that, you would think that there'd be a wrapper API where you could just ask it the BES to make the decisions for you, if your app signifies (by using the particular call) that it's OK with pretty much any type of connection.
Making them work as a mobile email device tied to Exchange requires a shiat-ton of ugly third party software.
Or you need better support/training. Or you're just biased against the BES system. Yeah, it's got its quirks (like most pieces of software that size), but once you figure it out it's not especially difficult, and takes about a minute to create a new user and provision the device.
Also may have been that the guy that taught me how to do it used to do BES SV&V at RIM until he decided he didn't like living in Kitchener-Waterloo any more.
The answer to that impacts how you go about doing this (I'm going to skip the bits about how you should also be going to the FBI, DOJ, and your lawyer).
If the answer is "seriously", what about going to the nearest major city (i.e. not the one you live in, but a few hours' drive away), buying a used laptop off Craigslist, sticking in a Ubuntu LiveCD with some variant of Tor, and connecting to an open wifi point to email the doc to WikiLeaks and Cryptome? Use a brand-new gmail address, never use it again, and then throw the laptop out/leave it somewhere to get stolen.
The OIC has been gunning for this for a while - the idea is to globalize the laws that many Arab states have against blasphemy.
As for the Resolution itself, I don't really care what the text says. It's advisory only (like all non-UNSC Resolutions), and I don't think that this will really cause any countries that don't have these laws on their books already to star them up.
Committees of the General Assembly (like the Human Rights Council) pass a lot of Resolutions, many of which are heavily managed by regional blocs. They've passed like ten of them telling Israel to give back Gaza, and the system keeps working despite that being ignored...
If you manually enable "Content Protection" on your BlackBerry, doing a Security Wipe will take on the order of hours, and will overwrite the data several times with different patterns to the point that it's not recoverable by anyone, even RIM (if you don't have that mode enabled, a Security Wipe will only erase user-specific information, and it would be relatively trivial to recover it).
If you're on a BES (meaning your BlackBerry was issued and is controlled by your workplace), your BlackBerry administrator can enable this setting without your input though an IT Policy, and can remotely initiate a Wipe/Shred from within the BES control panel.
Having gone though several international high schools (located across Europe), they all offered CS A and AB.
When I finally took it (A, in Grade 11) it was taught as a combined A/AB class by the school's Director of Technology. It wasn't as formalized a most classes - we simply took over the computer lab and its whiteboards for our classroom - but it was small, intense, and with a smart group of people. We finished the AP spec about halfway through the year, so for the second half we just did a bunch of code projects, only one of which was the standard AP one (this was the year before they brought in the aforementioned god-awful fish tank project). Independently, when I went to (public) school in Canada, AP CS A was offered as well, with the usual caveat that the school board wouldn't pay the testing fees (but would teach a class on it).
If you say it's unavailable outside the US, you need to compare that against the availability of other AP classes - do you mean that the French national school board won't offer them, or that the American School in Paris won't?
with paper ballots, with enough pressure, you could force a recount.
Except that NH used 100% paper ballots. Let's try this again, with more math:
Percentage of Ballots Cast on Paper in NH = 100%
Is that better?
In this case, the difference between machine-counted and non-machine-counted precincts is, surprisingly, how they're counted. In non-machine-counted ones, they're tallied by hand. In machine-counted ones, they're tallied by an optical scan machine. In both cases, the vote itself is cast on a piece of paper, which is then preserved for a recount if needed.
You may recall that in the last election, Ralph Nader raised a few thousand dollars and recounted half of NH's precincts in the wake of the general election, and found no discrepancies. If any of the campaigns thought there was serious fraud going on, they'd pay and file for a recount, as they're allowed to do.
If you break down the votes against other factors - like regions, exit polls, and general support, you can see the results make sense. Clinton did better in the urban areas, which (with higher populations) are more likely to use the high-speed optical scan machines. In the more rural areas, Obama did better, and in those precincts they're more likely to use the cheaper, slower way of counting things (by hand).
Don't forget to check out OSHA rules (assuming you're in the US - if not, s/OSHA/your local occupational health authority/) regarding noise levels. Depending on how much crap you have, it may make cross the limit for an unprotected workplace environment - which will either lead to you getting an office in another room (good outcome), or you getting your ass fired (bad outcome).
Are they going to grace those of us with IPs outside of the US with the ability to watch said content? I'd bet not (even though I live 45min. north of the US and watch all its TV).
I attend a large-but-not-the-largest University in Canada, and there was a huge campus fight over Turnitin.com last year. Initially the Administration said that any professor that wanted could use it without telling Students or offering them an option. After several long University Senate battles and a pair of Students refusing to submit their papers - and as a result, getting Fs and subsequently taking that F to the University's Judicial Board - the school adopted a new policy that said that teachers could use Turnitin.com if they wanted, but Students had to be informed and given an option to use a different method to show that it was their work: they had to provide several drafts of the paper, as well as show research notes.
As this is Slashdot, I suppose it's too much to ask for people to RTFA...
But if you did, you'd see that two of the conditions of the gift deal with this - specifically
First, at least one of you [BillG or MelG] must remain alive and active in the policy-setting and administration of BMG.
and
And, finally, the value of my annual gift must be fully additive to the spending of at least 5% of the Foundation's net assets...BMG's annual giving must be at least equal to the value of my previous year's gift plus 5% of BMG's net assets.
Meaning that the gifts to the Foundation only keep going while one of the Gateses keeps running the thing, and that they have to spend all of each gift (plus 5% of whatever else they have) each year, to prevent them from keeping it.

The point of the Shkval is that the envelope that makes it so fast (as the torpedo is never actually touching the water) also makes it pleasantly silent, as almost all of the sound it produces doesn't make it through the air barrier around the torpedo.
There is, however, no real evidence that these things work in a warfighting situation. It's pretty widely accepted that the Kursk was test-firing one of these when it exploded, and that it blowing up/having an early rocket start is what did it.
The UN doesn't consider Taiwan a country because they're not a member. Why arn't they members? Because new membership in the UN requires the assent of the Security Council, and Taiwan (as well as everyone else) knows the PRC would veto their joining faster than you can say "Formosa."
Specifically, a few boxes of latex medical gloves, and a pair of sturdy leather work-gloves from Home Depot (bonus points if you get UL-certified non-conducting ones). Tape is also useful - electrical and duct. Trick I learned last time I worked in a not-so-clear marine environment: before you go out, put on a pair of latex gloves. Then wrap a round or two of electrical tape around the glove, just before the end of it (if done properly, this should make a pretty good seal between the glove and your hand, without any tape touching your arm), and place your work gloves over that - keeps your hands dry (latex ones) and safe (leather ones).
When you're done for a session, take off the leather gloves and wash your hands (without taking off the latex gloves), as well as your forearms. Once all that is clean, cut off the inner gloves and wash again. You also might want to consider a solid pair of workboots - steel-toed, steel base-plate, Vibram soles - if you're going to be doing any type of manual labour.
