Apparently not wearing a rubber is serious shit. Right?
Of course - I want to engage in a certain behavior that has consequences and avoid those consequences by getting the State to threaten retaliation against those who will not eliminate that consequence for me.
I now feel like I'm wasting $10k a year on schooling that I don't really need.
Are you going to grad school? If so get good grades. If not, spend all your time making contacts and connections (assuming you're at a good school). Those will more than make up for the tuition.
Even that may land them at Gitmo. See also: DynDNS's BS blog post about dropping WikiLeaks' domain registration. They had the wisdom to at least post detectable BS.
You control your server, so if you're paranoid take some precautions. Set up an account (or better yet, an accout on a new VM) specifically for this with limited permissions and access. If you're really paranoid, you obviously won't be doing this at all.
Nah, if you were really paranoid you'd setup up an account on a cloud computing service and pay for it with a prepaid credit card and admin it through a tor relay from a coffee shop you don't usually use.
If they've received a "national security letter", a lawyer is just going to be a waste of money on your part. PayPal owners need to stand up for what's right or nothing will happen.
Comcast has been caught blocking websites multiple times and/or slowing-down traffic they don't like (netflix video and bittorrents).
And is that still happening?
Now maybe if it can be argued "no monopoly exists" there'd be no need for regulation (such as the cellphone market) but that's simply not the case. You either have a monopoly (comcast) or duopoly (comcast/verizon) and collusion.
Why is it those monopolies exist? The worst thing we can do is patch bad policy with more bad policy.
And presumably polarizations of the same color. To augment your excellent post: this will make electronics cooler and get better battery life. Or should I say photoelectronics?
In addition google gets yet another metric (a click) making a measurable event that they may find a way to charge for. (Hey even negative feed back to the advertiser is worth something).
Right, knowing what you don't like increases your value to Google as a viewer. Google will be able to charge by the ad watched rather than the ad offered, which is hugely more valuable to the advertiser.
Heck, I could have used some ads for studdable snowtires yesterday, and Google should have known I was researching them. As it was, strolling the aisles of the warehouse club was more useful.
Concave mirror projector? I had one of these toys as a kid (and who can forget that terrible wild-west video 'game'), and in college played around with the idea of using a projector and a computer to process images like that, but the hardware I could use wasn't up to the task. With today's GPU's it seems likely somebody is doing it.
Ahh, but that assumes they do stop. Instead they just keep on keeping on until they are actually forced by the courts to stop. Comcast is a repeat offender. They'll keep breaking the law until it is unprofitable or they are forced to obey.
And why shouldn't they? The governments have granted them monopoly status. Without fear of competition, the markets can't touch them, and they can rent-seek for as long as the checks keep rolling in. Any court order will be a slap on the wrist.
I will promptly curse you for requiring me to buy YET ANOTHER compact flash reader.
Get ready for this to not be your last. They're developing a new spec still using 32-bit integers? They don't need to go all ZFS-crazy, but really, 64-bit is already standard.
Seriously, why do we need an Arduino to make a sound trigger?
To generalize your question:
Why do we need an Arduino to ___________?
I'll take a stab at it: Because it allows a software developer to do things that previously required a hardware developer (EE), for certain problems. This unbinds prototyping from a certain educational requirement, opening the field to more participants. For one-off projects of value, the cost of an Arduino board may be low enough to be considered negligible.
It's exceedingly doubtful anybody would go into mass-production with an Arduino-based design, unless time-to-market or field upgradability were the ultimate criteria, or the volumes were low enough that hiring proper engineering would not be cost effective.
Avoid Perl-QT though. Not that it does not work, but it makes your brain go numb because you end up writing in pidgin-C++ intersperced with Perl. It overrides perl default OO conventions and uses C++ ones. There are parts where you have to outright put C++ snippets into the Perl code to get it work.
You're more likely to be killed by choosing Car A from the lot than Car B (Car B being modestly safer) than you are to choose to board an airplane with no screening procedures.
The tactic of using an airplane as a missile was only valid until 9:57 AM on 9/11/2001. An airplane full of ordinary Americans figured out the security equation over a field in Shanksville, PA. The hardened cockpit doors made double-sure immediately thereafter. So, the public risk has been eliminated.
TSA is merely eliminating private risk choices at this point.
Right, but unless the compensation is really significant and guaranteed, there might be risk in it. To your point, though, the black market seems much more likely.
Slashdot Mirror
Crates of grenades, mason jars of white, explosive powder and jugs of volatile chemicals that are normally the domain of suicide bombers
No. Stop. You fail at logic, even if you excel at propaganda.
Probably 0.0001% of Americans who have these things are terrorists. Perhaps they're misguided, but 'normally' is pure troll.

Repeat until you're done with school.
But the projection I mentioned was an animation of some sort: cartoony.
Hand-drawn would be tough. If you're computer-rendering, a projection is a projection.
Pay Pal staff: We are unable to respond

The toy I mentioned has real 3d. You can look at the plastic pig from any angle; it has real depth.
The size of the depth field, I would imagine to be relative to the size of the mirrors.
As an author I can't control where you read my book. Why should Apple control where we run their software?
Would you use threats of violence (government) to tell the author of that book what to write?
It could be the World's first sinkable, private bank
TFTFY
Apple ties OSX to it's own hardware and no one argues that is wrong, although I think it is.
I think it's unfortunate, but how is it 'wrong'? Their software, their hardware, their choice.

and you can multiplex multiple color channels

I HATE Conspiracy theories, but this is just a little to ridiculous for even me to fall for.
You missed the part where one of the girls is a diplomatic attache who was kicked out of a country once for subversive activities.
Purely coincidental, of course.

It's about the local monopoly ISP not blocking your access to sites they don't like - such as rushlimbaugh.com or netflix.com
Because this has been such a big problem to date that it demands government action?

No, they didn't. We gave them up.
No, the people calling themselves "The US Government" are abridging our natural rights, often in ways that enrich their friends.
Who's really doing the most damage here?
So, perhaps this launch's mission has been overtaken by the new satellite?

Why hasn't this been fixed?
