GPS doesn't work indoors. GPS doesn't work when there is an object between the receiver and the satellites. GPS doesn't have the accuracy to give a precise line at the edge a of a building.
Stop thinking of GPS as a magic solution to all problems involving knowing where you are. It's good, but it's not that good.
Yup. The real problem with OTP is that you have to have a seperate secured channel in which to distribute the key. In which case, why bother with the encryption at all, why not put the message over the secured channel. Obviously there are times when OTP is appropriate, eg the classical send a courier to the embassy with the OTP so that messages can be send over the phone, but the key distribution problem is why we don't use OTP very much.
That estate would be that of A.A. Milne, who wrote the Winnie the Pooh books in 1926 & 1928. Ernest Shepard's estate has the copyright on the original images, but the disneyfied image of Pooh & friends have nothing to do with Shepard's originals.
Definatly. Spam is pushed, so a small number of people can (and do) account for a huge amount of spam. Websites are pulled, so a website can only exist if it covers it's bills. For a small website on say someone's cats, the bills are effectivly zero, but then so's the interest. For any pr0n site, the demand is so large that effectively every pr0n site is commerical.
The only reason that there is metric assloads of pr0n is because that's what a lot of people are interested in. So it's not really a comment on the Internet, it's a comment on human nature.
I don't belive starting salaries were $20,000/year in $60,000 either. According to this link average starting salaries for lawyers was $18,000 in 1977. I think it's safe to assume that lawyers have higher than average starting salaries.
The business or 'customer' should clearly specify their requirements. The techs should build it.
How will the customer know their requirements? Many times I've shown someone how to do something, and they're amazed, not because they didn't know how to do it, but because they didn't know it was even possible to do it. If you don't understand the technical side, you won't know it's possible. If you don't understand the business side, you won't know it's needed. The best people understand both, so they know what's needed and what's possible.
On one hand, as an American I really want to shake the "world's bully" image we seem to fitting into
Perhaps the US should try not doing the "world's bully" actions? The rest of the world is different to the US. As a whole, it likes being different. If a country decides that it wants to do X, and the US says that if it does, then the US will apply pressure on the country, then the US is oging to be seen as a bully.
The really stupid thing is that the same steps to make site access better for the blind would also make the site easier to access for cell phone/pda users, and users on browser-appliances like WebTV, not to mention the uber-geeks using tools like Opera and Konqueror without all the bells and whistles installed.
This is almost universally true: Whenever an accessability feature is added, everyone benefits. Add a kerb ramp at the airport, and you can roll your suitcase can roll in without you having to lift it. Add a grabrail in the shower at the hotel, and when you slip on the soap you don't fall and break your leg. Add in functionality to navigate a GUI program with the keyboard, and you can use it when your mouse breaks.
Flash 6 or Flash MX will integrate with one of the two most popular screen readers. However, the flash author still has to add in the appropriate text, it doesn't appear from nowhere.
But Plankalkul wasn't implemented until 2000. I don't think it would be possible to implement it on the late 50's computers, and certainly not on the Z1/Z2/Z3 or other 1945 computers. Without an implementation, it's not a computer language, it's just math.
I'd call COBOL the grandaddy of high level languages. FLOWMATIC, which evolved into COBOL, was started in 1952 by Grace Hopper, which makes it about 2 years older than FORTRAN.

I don't/can't watch MTV, but I thought that MTV had transformed itself into a youth channel, instead of a music channel.
Depending on the website, you might have to hold more than just per connection information. For example, a website I look after has to grab a whole pile of information when someone logs in. That takes a comparably long time, about 30 to 60 seconds. This data is shared among people, so that two connections might have the same information, so it has to be saved in a way that every connection can potenitally get that information.
Canada has the same basic rules as Britain. In this, the judge decides who should pay the costs. If the judge thinks that the looser had a good case, then he'll not award costs, and therefore each party has to pay their own costs. If the looser had a bad case, and they shouldn't have been wasting everyones time, then the winner will be awarded costs, and the looser has to pay their costs. In rare cases, the looser will be awarded costs, so that the winner has to pay the loosers costs.
Doesn't need to be digitised for most authors. They provide electronic copy to their publishers. Even for the Slush pile is preferred to be electronic.
I chose 1997 cause that's the most recent american figures I could find. If you'd read the link to the british figures, In the 2001/2002 financial year, which is obviously the most recent possible, there were 886 murders, which up from the 748 isn't what I'd call 'skyrocketed out of control'.

No it isn't. How do you prove you didn't mail yourself an empty envelope, and at a later time put the letter in it and seal the envelope.

One isotope of Francium (223Fr) has a half life of 22 minutes. It's still the most unstable of the first 103 elements though.
Most warnings about 'not to dispose by fire' are about pollution & toxic gases.

VCS system are used because it makes management of development easier. Including the correct binary files is part of that making easier.

If you're running Oracle, it shouldn't really matter what OS you're running under it, so why not go for the fastest?

No. The Russian Monarchy was deposed by the Feburary revolution. The Bolsheviks came to power in the October revolution.
