I fully support Jeff's opinion there. All of the systems I have seen that implement strict rules have people invent easy-to-remember, yet extremely to guess passwords that pass the rules. It is my firm belief that password rules make passwords way more insecure.
A projector has a very low contrast, because what you see when you turn it off (the usually white wall) is it's blackest black. This is a huge difference to modern TVs.
Actually, only RSA public-key cryptography is based on that asymmetry, and even that is not precisely correct. And RSA is considered the most probable candidate to be broken at some time of the bunch of algorithms that are used. Even ssh uses DSA (at least you should, and not use RSA if you are paranoid) which is based on the assumed difficulty of calculating discrete logarithms in finite fields. If you are even more paranoid, use something that is based on elliptic curves.
Actually, changing clothes at security to provided, standardized suits and have your clothes packed together and transported in the luggage compartment should be fairly safe as well. Of course, everyone would look the same in flight then...
Look here for a wired article on a Philips 3D display, the "WOW vx". No glasses or head set required. Just stand there and watch. I have seen it myself last year at SEMICON Europa. One word: impressive.
In all ToS of IP telephony that I have seen, it is explicitly stated that they are not to be used as emergency service. There are no guarantees and everyone should know it. Guarantees cost real money. IP telephony is cheap.
From what I understand, the analogy here is not a key and lock, but a signature. Autodesk want to prevent others from "forging" their signature. And clearly, every court should rule forging signatures illegal.

Keeping a receipt of a vote is intentionally impossible in democratic elections. The reason is to make "buying votes" impossible. If it is impossible for the voter to later prove which vote he cast, it is impossible for the "vote buyer" (or blackmailer) to verify which vote was cast. Therefore, the whole scenario cannot happen. "Security" of elections is inherently complicated, and a lot of people have thought about scenarios of how cheating could take place. Every little aspect of the whole procedure is usually necessary to prevent cheating.
It most probably would not give additional protection for a car in case of a crash. This material (the liquid is only one component, anyway) is protecting against piercing, not crushing. It can quickly distribute large kinetic energy peaks that are only in one small spot, like a bullet or a knife's point. A truck crashing into your car is something entirely different.
AFAIK memory latency/bandwidth is currently the limiting factor in conmputation speed. Dual core processors will not change this, but make the gap even bigger.
I am not so sure wheather revenue is not a good number. How would you compare a $1M UNIX server against 100 $1k Linux servers? Which counts as more in your view of "market share"?
To distribute this to multiple computers would cause the amount of bandwidth used to rise to an extreme level, far beyond what it is now. (ie. send out the info, let each node process it, receive the data from each node, hope to Christ it's right)
Of course there are protocols for distributed computing by which you need not hope to Christ, but can be quite confident that your results are correct. Good ones can compute formulae and withstand up to one less than 1/3 of the participants being active traitors. But on the other hand, their bit complexity is not exactly lowering your total amount of communication either...
And if God created us, where do you take the arrogance from to think he did not create other life forms? Only us?
<sarcasm> I would rather think us to be a failed experiment and he learned from it and did better someplace else. This of course means we will never meet the others. </sarcasm>
If you think tou own a domain name if you registered it with NSI, you are wrong. Look at their terms and conditions, effectively, *they* own the domain and simply let you use it.

You can buy them. Now.
Just that Sagan had 5 people picked, not one. In fact, the book is much, much better than the movie.

...and Germany has Amazon MP3s as well. Fortunately. Finally some competition for ITMS.
Nope, sorry. "flops" (or "flop/s") is the unit, meaning Floating-Point Operations Per Second. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flops
Ergo "petaflops range".
Sorry, but I have to correct that: petaflops range. Floating-Point Operations Per Second. It is a "unit" without singular or plural forms. Picky me.
It was the Geiger counter that went berserk. Easy to defend against: Take the batteries out.
Wikipedia states the average thickness was 1000ly, not the maximum as discussed in the summary.

Then burn it. And eat the ashes ;-)

Hmm. their press release says monochrome.
