First, you're describing "absence of evidence is evidence of abscence." That is, if I claim there is an elephant in the living room, and you look all over and find no evidence, it is safe to assume to say there is no elephant in the room. There is no concrete evidence of God*, so it is safe to assume there is no God.
But when the Christian argues the Bible is proof of God's existence, he only begs the question. God exists because the Bible says he does, and we can trust the Bible because God wrote it? Rubbish! Not only do these theories not hold any scientific merit, they even contain major logical fallacies!
Phew! I knew that liberal arts degree would come in handy.
*something that should give at least some sort of indication of its existence somewhere if it wants to be taken seriously
Ah, but you forget that they need encryption for their DVDs. And here's the beautiful part: once they add an encryption layer to BitTorrent, it will be impossible to sue anybody over movie sharing. Thanks to the DMCA, if they sue you, they obviously illegally broke encryption somewhere along the line and would be liable themselves (as well as nullifying their evidence). So they're heading to an oh-so-delicious Catch-22. If they lobby to repeal the DMCA, it will become legal to crack DVDs. If they don't lobby, they can't legitmately find out who's actually trading movies.
I was out of the country for about a year and wouldn't you know it, a problem with my DNS prevented me from logging into my personal server at home for about 6 months. This also prevented any e-mail from reaching my server for the same amount of time. As I was receiving SPAM in the neighbourhood of 50 to 60 messages a day, I counted it a blessing. When I returned, I fixed the problem, and was unpleasantly surprised to have SPAM arrive within 24 hours. When the word spread* that my e-mail address was valid again, I started receiving the same amount.
This may technique may work for some, but for those on the lists of persistant spammers it's not going to do much.
Forget that this woman doesn't back her argument up with any facts, this would never work. We would all ultimately die a hell of a lot sooner, even if we could stave of death for 1,000 years. Why, you ask? Simple: resources, the biggest being living space. Imagine the billions of people who died in the past 900 years. Now imagine them still being alive. Now imagine how many more children they would have had. The world's population would be astronomical. There'd be no space to grow food, absolutely no fossil fuels left, and war would be a way of life.
I could go on, but I'm sure many science fiction writers have addressed the issue. Point is: if age doesn't kill us, we will kill each other in the fight for resources.
Why has it taken something like 20 years to make CDs less susceptible to damage? Jeez. Thinking about the amount of money I've lost due on discs getting damaged makes me ill.
A cart that reads your shopping list on your USB key drive, then gives you the most efficient route to each ingredient, solving the Travelling Salesman problem once and for all (and make shopping a bit less of a chore for husbands everywhere!).
So, Mel Brooks makes a hilarious film in 1968 called The Producers with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, who pretty much make the movie. Then he makes the Broadway musical, which, from what I hear, was amazing. Now he wants to make another movie called The Producers, this time with the exact same plot but different actors?
Please, Mr. Brooks, why re-invent the wheel? The original was brilliant, and doesn't need to be remade! Come out with something new and original instead of remakes and sequels.
It doesn't seem that the nurses are "paying" for the extra hours, but more like bidding a lower price for their labours - I suppose in the same vain that contractors bid for government contracts*. A little difference, but a difference nontheless.
*Of course, this only isolates the lowest bidder, not the person/entity best suited for the job, a major flaw in this system that I see. Of course, all of the bidding nurses are employees already, and this shouldn't affect the quality of care.
I bought a couple of self cooling kegs in Germany. Their device? Compressed air. All you did was release the valve, and the escaping pressurised air surrounding the beer inside reduced the temperature. Really neat, even if you only got 20 L in a keg.
I wonder if this could be applied to the cans. They'd probably be 20 lb or something. Guess I'll just have to keep buying kegs.
is just convincing Americans to use public transport. That is, of course, we could convince the state and federal governments to create more effective public transport.
Scyld computing (of Don Becker fame) did a lot of work on gigabit drivers for linux, and open source as well. If you can dig up an free copy of their beowulf operation system, you can probably get the drivers from there. Their website isn't too helpful after the Penguin computing acquisition, though.
Your car is already in Eastern Europe or Russia and has been stripped of parts or the VIN has been concealed. Your phone as had the IMEI changed, and your laptop has been formatted.
Sorry to break it to you like this, but most cars stolen in Western Europe end up like this. Good luck, though!

There was a lot of hype surrounding this film. If no one shows up next weekend, the sequals will be killed*

Of course, they'll then sue for the movie rights.

They have to make the geek man's shopping cart:
