In that case the dental work could become a psychological addiction too. And an addiction to dental work is probably more dangerous than an addiction to nitrous.
I understand you don't want to have it flying around, because some people use it as a secret. But it's not a secret in the first place, and there are many more likely attack vectors for your SSN than hijacking an SSH session.
I agree it's sad from a universe-story standpoint, but it's really unavoidable if you'd like to have a terminator on more than once a season. You could look at it from the opposite standpoint and say that the movies scaled up the terminators because they are telling a one-off story with one bad guy.
It's a little unfair to say that you need to use the computer labs preferentially to other rooms, at least in this context -- if everyone already had a laptop then *every* room would be a computer lab.
Now you might need special equipment that is best provided in the lab, or people may prefer to use the workstations there rather than their own laptops, etc. But it's disingenuous to suggest that simply because people are using the labs now means that the labs could not be largely replaced by some alternative computing solution.
Trade secrets are only protected from sharing by people subject to non-disclosure and other similar agreements. As an outsider you are allowed legally reverse engineer or otherwise guess a trade secret and use it without penalty.
Yes, there is more energy when you go faster. But there's way more than enough energy to kill everyone in your car at 45 MPH, so unless the limit is lower than that the argument about "more energy" is a moot point at higher speeds.
If you're just typing, pico (or now nano) is a great editor. It has spelling support, can justify text, and is non-modal. Plus it has a built-in cheat-sheet, which the keyboard templates of old should tell you is a big feature for many users.
I agree, it's annoying if you need a text editor. Just like PageMaker is annoying if you need a text editor. But if what you want is a word processor, or a tool to remove a comment from one line in a file, nano is not a bad choice.
But this is/., so there can't possibly be more than one tool for a job. I therefore withdraw my previous comments and decree that all editing of all files should be done directly in hex with only one tool -- there's no need for a separate binary and text editor. Next time you need to color-correct your JPEG just fire up your handy everything-editor and key in the changes.

First, I don't see why anyone with a text editor couldn't open a LaTeX file and make edit. Sure, you need some training to be proficient, but if you just want to add a note or make some corrections anyone should be able to figure it out.
Second, who makes their PDFs unmodifiable? The fact that people choose Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn't support editing does not mean it can't be done -- annotations are a great way to get feedback on papers and a largely analogous to the sort of editing/commenting that people would be able to do with a paper copy of the document.
Does that qualify as awake? The fact that you passed high school is hardly evidence that you were substantially aware of and reactive to your surroundings.
Because/. is obviously best served by a citation of a complex study, rather than the interpretation of said study on wikipedia -- after all, most readers here are anthropologists and therefore well suited to form their own well-reasoned opinions from the original subject matter.
I agree that wikipedia should not be considered an authority on any subject, but to suggest that it's not a valid starting point for discourse among laymen is absurd -- I can totally support pointing out particular flaws in articles, but to simply dismiss wikipedia as utterly useless is as ridiculous as it would be to accept wikipedia as infallible.
If someone tells you that all humans require exactly the same amount of sleep, they're lying.
I believe that you personally need 8 hours, PopeRatzo, but to suggest that some people couldn't do perfectly well on 6 seems presumptuous at best, at least unless you're going to cite significant study beyond your personal experience.
Modern humans in the first-world don't live in energy-poor environments -- I can take in as many calories as necessary to be awake without any significant burden, economic, physical, or otherwise. The fact that eating more doesn't make up for sleep suggests that there is more to the problem than simple energy efficiency. Unless you know something you failed to express in your post the question of what exactly sleep does, and why that process requires the loss of consciousness to achieve that purpose seems perfectly valid.
Don't you dare suggest that this question has anything other than a black-or-white solution -- either sleep deprivation is terrible in all circumstances or it has no effect on life. It's absurd to suggest that sleep deprivation might have varying consequences depending on the circumstance, and you're obviously a troll to even suggest such a thing.
Is decorating now a necessary part of Life As A Human? To me that seems like a legitimately boring, completely unnecessary task where being drunk/high/sleep-deprived could be legitimately beneficial. But I'm willing to admit that I could be wrong, and that decorating could be an important part of life -- all I ask is a reasonable argument to the effect. Do you have one?
It's just wide tolerances. The whole UPC-scanning system was designed so that the output from the light return sensor could be read directly (ignoring some minor gain control/etc.) as a digital data stream, with the clock rate determined by the horizontal scan rate. There's no reason to do distortion correction because it's not reading an image in the first place, it's just reading a series of high/low signal returns as serial data.
I'm sure you could build a more complicated system to does 2-D or 3-D imaging and distortion correction, but it's way more work than is necessary to read a linear UPC.
Because it would take a good 2-4 minutes and $0 to setup your own CA, which is a totally unreasonable time commitment to ask from someone setting up a web server.
The key is written to the disk as regular data, and if you could copy the entire disk it would just work, but the CSS key region is not writable on typical DVD media, nor by typical DVD drives.
If you have the ability to press new DVDs though -- like a commercial pirate might -- you can simply duplicate the disk as-is without decoding or re-encrypted anything. That's how the thing was produced in the first place.
That's what poor people like to tell themselves, but it's not really true -- rich people are, in the aggregate, happier than poor people. Being rich doesn't make you happy per se, but it can sure help you avoid a lot of the things that make you unhappy. And there's no reason to believe that being rich makes any of that happy-generating life events more difficult or less likely.
I hate to break this to you, but any "well-documented means of turning any hash function into an encryption algorithm" *is* an algorithm specifically designed for encryption, so you're still breaking the rules.
People willing to spend $$$ on high-end speakers should just use uncompressed audio -- the doubling their storage is probably trivial compared to their other gear.
Exactly. We all know that Ulrich is the epitome of well-reasoned, thoughtful package maintenance, as opposed to the dictatorial behavior of those Debian admins -- I mean, who are they to want to comply with RFCs and compile for platforms other than gnu-linux-x86?
uClibc is not binary compatible with glibc, so you can't compile on one and run on the other. Heck, uClibc is generally not even binary compatible across versions -- you have to recompile the whole system every time you update uClibc.
That's not to say uClibc isn't useful, but it doesn't have the same goals (or features) as glibc or eglibc.
That was a problem. But in Sega's defense it's hard to compare the power usage of a color, backlit LCD against a greyscale, non-backlit LCD -- you could only play for 30 minutes, but you could do so without standing under a lamp or imagining what color that next sprite might be.
