As you've said, the open door analogy isn't the best here, but it can be improved a little bit. A publicly accessible computer system on the internet is similar to a unlocked door in a business district. If it doesn't say 'Employees Only' or isn't locked (compare to requiring a password or announcing that permission to access is restricted), then you won't be charged with tresspassing for opening the door and checking out what's inside. Of course you can't take (or break) anything, but you can't do that in any 'open to the public' place either.
But at the end of the quarter-mile it needed a recharge.
To be fair, the Ferrari probably had to refuel after the run, too. Just like the electric car didn't carry more charge (batteries) than it needed for the run, IC cars don't carry more fuel than they need, either.
It's not that different, in concept, but it's definitely unusual and suggests that the algorithm is faulty./blockquote>
Faulty? I'd consider that a feature. If all crypto could be decrypted to a number of 'valid' plaintexts you'd have perfect plausible deniability. That is: presuming (as was verified) that "ID BY ROWS" wasn't the correct plaintext.
The GPL is not an EULA. The typical EULA that everybody gets upset about restricts your use of a product that you bought. The GPL grants the right to do things with a work that would otherwise be disallowed under copyright law. If the GPL is not valid, then plain old copyright law applies and no extra rights are granted.
Killing the GPL doesn't make all open source code public domain, it makes it regular copyrighted work (as in you can't copy it or reuse it at all without the writer's explicit permission).
I would assume it's for an overall consistent 'banking experience'. It is possible to deposit decimal amounts, in which case you need the extra digits. Though annoying for withdrawals, the lack of consistency would like be a source of some error. (though not much... it would be possible to automatically adjust for extra digits entered in the withsrawal mode: somebody entering 2-0-0-0 would get $20, just like somebody entering 2-0, as neither $2000 nor $0.20 are acceptable choises for a withdrawal.)
Yeah. I almost mentioned that in my original post. I have a lot of family in the military, and I'd have to say that of all of the people I know, they're the ones I'm least comfortable with in posession of large firearms!
I think he was making the point that the commonality between all oppressive governments is not that they were all communist. The list of brutal communist governments is certainly shorter than the list of brutal monarchies or (non-communist) fascist dictators. The thing they do all have in common is that the government was oppressive and brutal. Then there's the fact that besides somewhat nationalized industry, these oppressive communist countries weren't even partucularly communist.
Also, pray tell, what are the differences (in policy) between the Republicans and Democrats (besides token emotional issues like abortion and gay marriage)?
Less communism in particular and more government in general that is behind all of the pain and suffering. To single out communism is to fall for the same trick that the two big US parties play: always blaming each other.
Uh yeah. Except that the only one proposing that the microscopic lumps of cells are living breathing people is you. Whackadoo. Zero to Godwin in one step though. Props.
Are you having trouble sleeping at the moment? Inexplicably, your comment turns to an attack: Until you understand the facts, I would suggest you refrain from further comment. You're only making your self sound like a simpleton.
What facts am I missing? I, too, have functioned for long periods with extremely little sleep. It is my experience that led me to rebuke you for comparing extended sleep deprivation to missing nap-time. I see that you were trying to say that the bill would not allow someone to be deprived of nap-time, but that is simply not true. While it is somewhat vague in its wording at times, it is certainly not that vague.
Bear in mind, of course, that what is happening right now between us is what is known as a "discussion". It is in no way a personal attack on you or your ideals or whatever. It seems unnecessary to have to spell it out so plainly, but perhaps I'm just seeing this from a simpleton's point of view.
Comparing denying someone naptime to keeping somebody up for days to weeks (past the point of sleep deprivation induced hallucinations and on toward major organ failure) is a little sleazy. You can really fuck people up with some of this psychological torture. And keep in mind that this isn't "punishment" for people convicted of crimes. In many cases the treatment is intended to provide the means to convict the person. I bet it's pretty easy for you to dismiss this as not that bad, when you haven't ever been exposed to anything like it.
Just to clear things up, the US government isn't questioning Google for the purpose of fighting child pornography. It's pornography that might fall into the hands of children. There is an enormous difference between the two.
I know that the first article linked to by Slashdot used the two terms interchangibly, but we need to correct that.
Molecular oxygen is paramagnetic. It's explained by the permanent magnetic moment caused by the two unpaired electrons.
Quoth JH Van Vleck: "Even though electrically non-polar, oxygen gas absorbs microwaves because the magnetic moment of the O2 molecule interacts with electromagnetic fields." The Absorption of Microwaves by Oxygen
So molecular oxygen is an exception to the generally true assumption that a molecule needs to be polar to absorb EM radiation.
That's not a happy ending! You ended up giving the abusive big company your money, You've gamed their system a little, but in the end, you've rewarded them for punishing you.

The energy density of gasoline is much higher than that of any battery tech we have. I was just being silly. Please don't take it too seriously...

grrr.
Replying to reverse my mod typo! I meant funny, not overrated!

Oh yeah. That'll be great. Uncontrollable, violent and now... armed and enabled! Watch out world!

And you'll find that your life will mean about as much to them as their civil rights meant to you.

3. Wouldn't work quite so well on the "dark side" of the moon!
Damn, I can't remember the Supreme Court case offhand, but the police are not bound to answer calls.
minor correction: ports, not valves. If you ran 600 deg hotter than a piston, you would turn your valves to ports anyway!
You're berating somebody called Alzheimers about his inability to grasp events that just occured.
Yeah, because terrorists kill so many Americans, you know fnord fnord.
