When I bought mine you had to go looking for the Ubuntu machines page; when you got there it explained very clearly, in non-technical language, that if you don't know what we're talking about you don't want one: go over here to buy a Windows machine. They thought that out ahead of time and were very clear about it.
The biggest problem is that those cryptographic hashes tend to be easily parallelizeable on a commercial GPU, resulting in a brute force attack many times faster than an ordinary CPU. Hashes like bcrypt are much less GPU friendly.
Do you really think that? A dyed-in-the-wool fundamentalist Christian that thinks the Apocalypse is a good thing because he gets to meet his BFF Jesus that day, in charge of the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world?
Are you privy to some quirk of Santorum's eschatology that makes him more dangerous than previous theologically-conservative presidents, none of whom has yet provoked a nuclear holocaust?
When it comes to licensing, performance, quality, and reliability,... Linux plays second fiddle to FreeBSD's kernel. The only advantage that Linux has today is hype.
Let me know when your favorite MS Office alternative can open and flawlessly display every Office file that I have, or may receive from somebody else. I also need a guarantee that files I create with it can be sent to people using MS Office, and they'll be able to use them without incident.
In all reality, MS Office doesn't offer that kind of guarantee.
The blazon (the heraldic technical description) of the arms is what officially defines them, and it doesn't include the particular sequence of digits; it just says "in base a bar wavy Sable inscribed with zeros and ones Or."
So even if it means something, that particular sequence is just the artist's interpretation; somebody else who redrew the arms would be entitled to change it. Most likely, it's just what the artist liked visually.
In other non-TV media there is a balance for both sides, but of course most Americans only watch TV News.
Well, newspapers often reflect the preconceptions of their reporters, which are substantially liberal (in the American sense of the word). But mainstream US newspapers at least try for balance, even if they don't always succeed, which is far more than can be said for the TV networks.
WHEN THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO STOP TREATING SEX AS SPECIAL?
Maybe when it works the same way as the other human appetites? Which is to say, presumably never. I mean, nobody puts up videos of someone else eating a really good plate of fettuccini alfredo.
This definition is probably looser than most, but here's a quick and dirty view:
The Web is a huge collection of interlinked documents addressable by URLs and served with HTTP. The Internet is the world-wide TCP/IP network over which the Web and many other services operate.
A government agency, they do have some kind of fourth amendment obligations regarding their students; the precedent doesn't seem to make it really clear just how far those obligations go, however.
(This is my non-lawyerly memory, so maybe the rules look coherent to lawyers, but I doubt it.)
More seriously, they're limited to only versions of Windows on which IE6 runs. As XP gets rather long in the tooth and 7 isn't looking so bad, their hands are tied until they deal with the IE6 app.
He didn't say that borrowing was unique to English, just that it is unusually common in English. No one said that that makes English inherently better, only that it can be an advantage in some circumstances.
I don't know if the GP's thesis is right, but it's much more reasonable than you make it seem.
Considering that Christmas was a subversion of a pagan holiday, you really don't have much room to complain.
A bit off-topic, but the winter solstice was not an important holiday in the parts of the pagan world Christians were mainly concerned with at the time: Calculating Christmas. The date apparently has more to do with odd ideas about when prophets die.
Where does this idea come from? I remember being told it in grade school, but the practice of saying "and" between hundreds and tens has a long pedigree in English.
Since large communities and cities are not possible without agriculture, I highly doubt that agriculture sprang up after communities and cities.
I think the OP was trying to argue that the growth of cities and monuments drove the development of agriculture, rather than simply being a nifty aftereffect.
If China isn't capitalistic, no place on earth is. Money is everything in China, you can bribe and do almost anything things with money.
I don't think that fits any reasonable definition of capitalism, unless there's actually a market in the amputation of other people's arms and legs. Capitalism is an economic system. That's just corruption.

I think it was meant to be read thus.

Interestingly, IE 9 seems to be following the rules for CSS and ES5, perhaps better than the other browsers. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Do your really need to ask this on Slashdot?

On the script writers deal in absolutes!
I don't know what the GP had in mind, but maybe it's a significant bug (e.g., showstopper) on a production system?
Yet another reason to buy with plastic.

Perhaps the objection is that the state partnership gives it the appearance of neutrality? Not sure.
Wait, what? The people who want to depress the price of labor *like* immigration of virtually all kinds: It adds supply to the labor pool.
Why isn't there a +1 Terrifying?

But Microsoft kept selling Windows 98 for those who didn't want ME. This time around they aren't being so helpful.
