And the government is full of below average citizens. Pretty sure they have no place in determining what is useful or good science.
And they don't. At NSF, grants are given funding by a panel of scientists with expertise in appropriate fields. These are current researchers who take time to serve at NSF for some amount of time.
It takes about 8 highly trained people quite a long time to distinguish good grant applications from bad ones. How do you think the general population will do?
I'm sure they didn't, but Wikileaks did not access those, it is publishing them. These are very different issues.
It is also the case that the government is not protected under the bill of rights, but its citizens are. This (important) point doesn't even apply here, however, because there was no accessing on Wikileak's part.
I tend to give to them at several random times throughout the year. Something like EFF *needs* to exist, and it needs to have some might backing it up.
They stay on top of a wide variety of issues and *get results*. Here everyone: help them out.
If you have the extra money, I think it's worth it to ride right past $BIG_CONSUMER_ISP and go with something like Covad. They don't care what services you run, or if you max your connection all day and night. An ISP like this will enable you to run your own mail providing you: - Also run your own DNS - Have the ISP delegate/host reverse DNS - Have at least one static IP
In my opinion it's worth it for the extra control, but you also have to be willing to handle data and battery backup to make things reliable.
I stopped after I got to "www.irc.paypal" being named as critical infrastructure. It's also reported that at least *two* ISPs have been found supplying an internet connection to Anonymous. Two! That's probably all of them right?
I swear this must have been written by a quick AWK script (not even perl)
Please tell me how transition to your larger ipv4 is substantively different from transition to ipv6. Is it the case that you want to increase address space while still being able to use addresses from the smaller address space? How will that work?
(continue this discussion for years, and you will have reproduced a chunk of the ipv6 design process)
A lot of the rest of us get along pretty well with putting our servers behind a router/NAT that lets us define which ports get forwarded to which systems behind the router, thus adding "firewall" as a feature.
Thing is, that's only when you have control over the NAT device. If ISPs move to multiple levels of NAT, as some people suggest, then you no longer have access to a thing on which you can forward ports. You're stuck being a content consumer.
The world appears to be discrete (all moves are in block-sized units), so think in terms of grids. For instance, chess is played on a 2D grid. The analogy with this game is playing chess where you can only see one row of squares at a time -- but you can rotate the board so that you can see either rows or columns.
The game lets you rotate the 4D world so that you can pick which 3D part of it you can see. You can move the blocks in any of the 4 dimensions though.
Knots made of 1-dimensional things are only possible in 3 dimensions, but knots of 2-dimensional things are possible in 4 dimensions. In general, n-dimensional things can be knotted in n+2 dimensions.
The basic idea is that you need at least 2 extra dimensions in order to *make* the knot. Think about a straight string on a table. You need to be able to bend one end toward the other (extra dimension one), but also lift one end off of the table and make a loop (extra dimension two).
If you have any *extra* dimensions, then your loops can always be undone by moving part of your string into that dimension.
I think "should have been" implies that it was, in fact, not communicated at all. "Should" has slightly different meanings depending on your brand of english, which may be a source of confusion.
Well, I guess we have different ideas of what's automatic. As for me, if I have to enroll in a developer program that costs money in order to install my own program onto my own device, I don't feel as though I really own that device after all.
You can write and install whatever you want on your own machines
That's true for macs in general, yes, but you also mentioned iPhone and iPad. You cannot install whatever you want on your own machines in those cases (without circumvention).
Not only is this result super old, but the conclusion has also been invalidated for quite some time. Changing the structure of the ants' legs can change their ability to integrate distance in many ways. The pedometer hypothesis is but one explanation.
That explanation does not hold up when considered with other results, such as testing ants leaving and coming back over different terrains. If ants are counting steps, then hilly vs. flat terrain will cause problems (since hilly terrains require more steps than flat). Ants deal with this just fine, however. Here is one of many references showing this:

It's not really much different from that, which is exactly why it is interesting! Natural phenomena solve some of the hardest problems in computation, just by doing what they normally do.
The trick is controlling that process to get it to solve things we are interested in.
By the way, with version 3.0 of the SDK, you can't even *compile* something (for a device, simulator is ok) without having a valid provisioning profile. Fortunately, you can still use an older XCode with the newer SDK.

In what way has Wikileaks accessed someone's email without their consent?

I'll agree heartily with this. I "fixed" my broken wireless card by altering the ipw2200 driver. It felt... satisfying.

Some big ipv6 domains. (This list was posted to the nanog mailing list last week or so):
ipv6.cnn.com
ipv6.comcast.net
ipv6.google.com
www.ipv6.cisco.com
www.v6.facebook.com
m.v6.facebook.com
ipv6.t-mobile.com
ipv6.weather.yahoo.com
Or maybe it's because the brain does not do computations, and shouldn't be compared to computers at all.
It is, however, used on the maemo platform (it's much slower than flash in the native browser, but still available for use by firefox).
Ohhh, *that's* how we do it!

Ahh, but "a signing profile for your machine" is something you must get from Apple, i.e. you may install on your own device with their permission.
That's true for macs in general, yes, but you also mentioned iPhone and iPad. You cannot install whatever you want on your own machines in those cases (without circumvention).

Exactly. One of the best possible traits to develop is being tasty to humans — if all you care about is population anyway.
I don't think cows, corn, or soy will be going extinct any time soon.
