Probably more important than whether or not you get a reply is if the correspondence has any effect at all; do they make a note of what positions are being attacked or supported, and does it influence the voting of the Rep in the final analysis? Maybe you, AC, can let us know more about that part of the process.
While it makes a convienient analogy, comparing the bomb to crypto is wrong. The bomb's ONLY purpose was for mass destruction, while crypto can be used for great good as well as nefarious purposes.
I've had some conversations w/ friends of mine about this very idea. I think that assembly should be the first language taught in CS. To be a skilled programmer, you MUST know how a computer works at the fundamental level. Teaching java to beginning programmers only encourages sloppy programming, despite any admonitions from profs.
Is this their way of trying to excuse HORRIBLE service in the first place? Take a look at dslreports.com and tell me all those horror stories are fake.
From what I gather, the underwriters (Credit Suisse) were paid to pre-allocate IPO shares to certain investors, and also made quid pro quo deals, where investors were allocated IPO shares in exchange for guaranteeing that they would buy shares at a certain price at a later date. I'm hazy on the SEC rules regarding the first allegation, but I'm pretty sure the second point constitutes illegal price fixing, and is quite verboten. Could be wrong, tho.
suddenly the registration requirements for the New York Times doesn't seem like such a pain in the ass. The article reads like it was written by a fourth grader.
Last i heard, wasn't IBM working on a supercomputer to be used for calculating protein folding? If I recall, that was supposed to be the fastest, when complete. Of course, I could be wrong.
As a plugin writer, I rely on the onload and onunload events for serialization of my code (in some instances), so "whacking" these events may not be a good idea. It would probably be better to have an option where you could disable events selectively.

I could reproduce the sol.exe crash, but not the IE 6 bug (although it did seem to hang for a sec, the print dialog eventually came up).
Even if you're not paying, it's not really anonymous; they have your ip adress at the least.
DOS may be gone, but CMD.exe lives on. For what it's worth, it's a much, much better command processor than command.com ever was.

I doubt Hoyle would let a gutshot draw all the way to the river with only AA.
That's a press release, not an article. Please don't try to pass it off otherwise.

I'm guessing that they only consider it a spoiler for those who haven't read the trilogy.
So will succeeding generations now come with changelogs instead of birth certificates?
Correct me if I'm wrong (and i probably am), but don't particle-antiparticle collisions produce gamma rays, not neutrinos?

If i have color blind kids, am i violating the DMCA?
I already have a cross-platform IDE for python. It's called emacs.
"...in which writing code that works at all can sometimes be impossible."
Maybe you just don't have the chops. It's ok.
You're an idiot. Didn't i just say that my code NEEDED these functions?

Won't somebody PLEEEAASE think of the children!
No way this guy does 7 years for this; he'll be out in 6 months.
C doesn't care what you define, as long as what comes out of the pre-processor makes sense.
You'd think Microsoft would like your pc naked, just makes it easier for them to rape you.
