See, that's the trouble with libertarians. You're a smart guy, but you're using the excuses they proffer in arguments with socialists, when they should be focusing on their main point.
The core of most libertarian belief is the non-aggression principle, that people shouldn't use violence against other people to get what they want. Those things you mention are the most offered responses to the "But if we give up violence, how will we do X" objections, but as you say, they require some faith to assume that nothing will change.
That's where they're liberals - they're not wed to the status quo, they follow the moral course regardless of the implications.
Of course, that's a hasty generalization - Jeff Miron's book "Libertarianism A-Z" is a completely utilitarian approach to the pro-liberty, small government strategy and he offers some convincing arguments (it's a fairly accessible read). But the ultra-conservative progressives counter argue that we cannot afford to run the experiments to find out if it's a better approach or not.
In July 2009, Wikileaks posted a notice that said:
Two weeks ago, a source associated with Iranâ(TM)s nuclear program confidentially told WikiLeaks of a serious, recent, nuclear accident at Natanz. Natanz is the primary location of Iranâ(TM)s nuclear enrichment program. WikiLeaks had reason to believe the source was credible, however contact with this source was lost. WikiLeaks would not normally mention such an incident without additional confirmation, however according to Iranian media and the BBC, today the head of Iranâ(TM)s Atomic Energy Organization, Gholam Reza Aghazadeh, has resigned under mysterious circumstances. According to these reports, the resignation was tendered around 20 days ago.
Our ability to repay our debt depends on making society more efficient.
The US government has ~ $160T in unfunded liabilities through the first half of this century. That's 100% of GDP for a quarter of that time or 25% (additional) of GDP for the entire time (on top of the current 22%). Attempting to raise the required funds would crash the economy.
Sorry, the numbers don't work, no matter how high the productivity gains.
This way, the ISS has an "emergency boat" or escape craft if something goes extremely wrong. Furthermore, as Apollo 13 showed us, it's good to have an extra "lifeboat" that the crew could evacuate to if there's a problem aboard the ISS that can't easily be fixed.
Amazingly enough, NASA has considered this problem.
Yeah, it'll bounce off a few url rewriters which gets you a referrer code for the Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund, which defends arrested freedom activists. From there, buy stuff as normal and something like 2% goes to the fund, same prices for you. Thanks for asking.
My ISP has been routing native IPv6 for eight years. Not tunnelling, but routing natively right from the CPE. It works, it is robust and latency is often lower than v4 routing.
Consider yourself lucky. Much of the backbone has only gotten IPv6 on ASIC in the past few years (see Cisco's big announcement about a year ago). IPv6 in software on a general-purpose CPU just doesn't work at large scales.
No, a large percentage of the deployed IPv6 stacks (Windows before Windows 7, Mac OS before 10.7) have problems. But perhaps you'd consider those 'cheap crap'.
Major ISP's are just now getting the ball rolling. Client software is still being perfected. The bridges for early adopters are known to be flakey. Talk to the people working on that stuff (oh, wait, you don't need to, they're already underway).
Most readers here will move along when the infrastructure is ready. We know the address space is effectively out but there's little reason to do much at this point, and anybody trying to push people to adopt IPv6 before the tools are robust is kidding themselves.
Because shareholders own the company. If the company's owners want a succession plan then Apple had better well get cracking.
All they have to do is wait 9 months - the plan is already in motion.
Oh, wait, no, Jobs is actually coming back in six months. Because Apple has a history of being forthright about his health.
Really, though, they're doing the best they can. When the Company hasn't fallen apart by November, people will accept that Cook can run Apple. _Any_ announced plan will just be shot down by a thousand armchair CEO's. They are protecting shareholder value, whether the shareholders accept that or not.
Do you know if this has actually be tried? I just happened to have spent the evening reading up on packet radio and routing topologies; making a list of things to try out. I've been focusing on 2-way comms, but your idea has some interesting 'last-mile' benefits.
What you are proposing (noting ANY activity in the speaker)
That's definitely not what I meant, but I don't feel it would be responsible to spell it out here. Put a meter on a pair of speaker wires with different samples and you'll see what I mean.
Then you have to build something to react to specific speaker voltages, I would argue almost harder than code as even fewer people would know how to do this.
What's the voltage across a speaker playing silence? Is it not zero? Even if it's not zero, the simplest transistor chosen for the required threshold voltage should be able to do the trick, no? I can't see how soldering in a transistor would be harder than building a custom application for a closed platform.
I thought galaxies were determined by the presence of a supermassive black hole as its primary gravitational organizer... but the paper doesn't even contain the word 'black'. Globular clusters sometimes have medium-mass black holes, but no supermassive ones.
Triggering by a specific number involves actually writing code to be run on the phone, which would involve a lot more effort and couldn't be done by just anyone.
Most phones have the ability to have a default ringtone and a different ringtone for a specific number. Most of them can play mp3 files for ringtones too.
I'll leave it to those smarter than these terrorists to work out how that might affect speaker voltages.
You cannot change the underlying disks (eg. to do migration or V2V) without the guest becoming unbootable.
Why is the guest even aware of the parent's ID?
Use filesystem UUIDs instead. These survive all sorts of migrations and conversions intact, and are even useful in the non-virtual case -- eg. if you swap SATA disks around.
Hrm, I had trouble when I previously switched to all-UUID's as I found it's not possible to change the UUID of an md device, which breaks several schemes (or at least makes for a bit of initramfs hell).

Telnet sends terminal management information included in the byte stream.
Only to telnet ports.
nc is the more flexible, featureful, and unix-like too, though. Try cloning a hard drive over a network with telnet!
gzip < /dev/sdb | nc -l 33333 /dev/sdb
nc foohost 33333 | gunzip >
I still vehemently disagree with their views and consider them misguided by what is, effectively, faith
Which part of their views relies on faith?
Where is the "I don't want to experiment with alpha software" button?

The only winning move is not to play.
And it's entirely Intel's own damn fault for forcing other chipset makers out of the game.
Well, not entirely - they get lots of help from the various governments that threaten to enforce 'their IP'.

IPv6 is robust and working very reliably.
No, a large percentage of the deployed IPv6 stacks (Windows before Windows 7, Mac OS before 10.7) have problems. But perhaps you'd consider those 'cheap crap'.
Looks like airtight logic to me! Anyone see a problem with it?
I'm confused - how are corporate profits negatively impacted by ordinary murders?
Yes we know.

Doesn't that break if you change motherboards or re-cable disk controllers?
You cannot change the underlying disks (eg. to do migration or V2V) without the guest becoming unbootable.
