Many, if not all, encryption algorithms is based upon the fact that the set of non-deterministic polynomial decision problems is not equivalent to the set of decision problems that is decidable in polynomial time.
If you want to get rich, solve P=NP and then you'll be able to crack every banking account in the world.
Being a nerd and enjoying nerdly activities is part of a delicate niche, held only by 3M tape that works remarkably well to bind the bridge of an unrepairable pair of reading glasses.
Just as hip-hop use to be appreciated by a smaller group of people, the fact that it is now mainstream, I suppose, lowers the quality of new material released (at least we don't have any white guys trying to act black).
So, is being more acceptable going to encourage the senseless stares and judgements of being unacceptable? Unlikely, since for an arbitrary thing, there is always an opposite and unattractive 'some thing'. Something that is 'cool' cannot exist without something that is 'geeky'.
Is it possible to merge the two ideals, cool and geek? Isn't that what we call, 'geek sheik'. A oxymoron in my opnion.
You'll see McDonalds suing Apple over the name 'Big Mac'. Argument: Consumer are too stupid to distinguish between a computer and shit put between two buns.
Rarely do you see games using DirectX ported to Linux. Perhaps a better design choice was to use OpenGL to implement HL2. Although, the newest video cards by ATI and NVIDIA are optimized for DirectX (well... at least ATI) so HL2 graphical features may not be elaborated if implemented OpenGL.

OMG!! We are talking about the best trilogies and NO ONE has mentioned "The Karate Kid". I am ashamed.

..to moderate an entire story has 'Redundant'? =)
Why not give this whole case over to Judge Judy?
1) The case will be finished within thirty minutes.
2) No lawyers.
3) When Judge Judy asks Darl McBride whether or not "He [McBridge] believes IBM knowningly appropriated Unix System V code?"
Darl McBridge pauses a moment and answers "Umm, well.."
Judy interrupts him and says "'Umm' is not an answer, Mr. McBride."
4) In the background, audience members fall asleep after they can't figure out what is this thing is called 'Unix'.
5) Judge Judy has to remind Darl McBride a second time that "'Umm' is not an answer."
6) We get to see Judge Judy call Darl McBride an IDIOT.
Well, it doesn't take a doctor to figure that out.
..for NVIDIA to release their first "DirectX 9.0 Compliant" video card. Good stuff for NVIDIA.

Hmmm, the only company to benefit from the HL2 leak. Hey, wait a minute

Design choices, nothing more.

What are things that annoy and pester over time. =)
Absolutely not true. Us Canadians love our online porn more than our American brothers.

Is it the same bug that requires me to type the full word "yes" or "no", and not shortcut keys 'y'/'n', when I want to connect to a remote server??
=)
As long as porn exists, P2P will exist (with or without copyrighted music and movies).
I do not expect porn companies to sue individual users for IP material.
