Listen, just because they call themselves "the American Civil Liberties Union" does not mean they defend all civil liberties, mostly just the politically correct ones. When is the last time you saw the ACLU take a pro-second amendment stance? Whether or not you believe in it yourself, you have to admit their name should be "Selective Civil Liberties Union" at most.
How is it bad faith? Why on earth would the slashdot folks care about slashdot.info?
While yer dumpster-diving, Steve Jankly of 'go daddy software' has slashdot.us, Rory Toma of 'Colin Burns Games' has has slashdot.cc, and if you want something out of the real ghetto of the DNS, slashdot.tv and slashdot.bz are still available.
Security in DOS was practically non-existant, because frankly, you couldn't do much on it. The worst you could do was write data to COM1, and native DOS wouldn't do anything with it.
Woudln't 802.11 require the cells to have either one antenna per call (and run out of channels pretty fast) or have to deal with networking between phones? And doesn't it draw one hell of a lot more power than current cell technologies?
Googling makes it look more like 95-97% reflectivity for aluminum foil, so you'd absorb more like 300J. It'll also be distributed over the surface, not the volume of your head, so your standard 36g tinfoil hat would get nearly 10K hotter... a few dozen blasts of that could get painful!
I think what you're describing are refered to as 'moral rights', and apparently they exist in law in many countries, but not the US. Although, as the Findlaw article brings up, there are laws that prevent someone's name being attached to a work they did not create, and Clean Flicks might be crossing the line there.
I use Windows at home and at work. My computers and most of those around me have uptimes determined by how often the hardware changes or the power goes out--and unlike the parent poster, I don't go to any heroic efforts to keep everything pristene, just avoid horrible background software like virus-scanners and spyware.
Maybe you're using a windows 98/NT 3.51 era version? They're somewhat less reliable.
If copyrights create "property", then isn't it massive theft for the government to have them eventually expire? Imagine if traditional property became public domain ~100 years after being manufactured...
Judging from the number of seperated retreads I see on the side of the road.
Yesterday's cars were unsafe by modern standards in many ways, I'd guess in a world of no seatbelts, no airbags, no ABS, etc., the crappy tires weren't your biggest worry.
Microsoft's documentation for WM_TIMER indicates that the code is run by the "Default Window Procedure". This is DefWindowProc, the function you call to handle messages that have gone unhandled by the application. If this is correct, the problem is fixable; the application needs to simply not call DefWindowProc for WM_TIMER messages with non-zero second parameters (unless it actually wants the code in question called).
This could be solved without major disruption in windows if DefWindowProc simply checked the address passed to it against a list of functions that had been previously registered by the process with SetTimer().
I haven't personally verified this, it's possible that the documentation is incorrect.
If it doesn't need pressure to hold its shape, the helium/hydrogen can be at 1 atmosphere, and will only leak slowly if punctured. It would probably have multiple cells, many of which would have to be deflated to crash the ship.
All together, it could be less fragile than a plane relying on thrust and airfoils for lift.
Don't burners always do CLV when writing? Are the 48x burners multilaser or someting? 48x would be ~25K RPM (about as fast as a 125x CAV reader, if my math is correct), which seems close to/over the limit.
Are the media with higher speed advertised actually sturdier?

Old joke:
Q: how does the ACLU count to 10?
A: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

What's the difference? The amount of lines you need to write to get the same result.
I suppose Java is the highest-level language out there, since you can write your whole program on a single line.

found liable for buying postcards and modifying them without permission
Do you have a link or reference or something for that?
Forget the rights of the original creator.

downloading of copyright material without the consent of the rights holder IS illegal
That's news to me. AFAIK, only the person distributing the file is infringing copyright.

Make sure you're getting as much water as you used to, dehydration is a very effective way to lose weight short-term but it's not a good idea :)

Indeed you could... the hard part is storing enough energy for a few hours with small enough loss/expense to to profitable.

There's a plant at the twin lakes resivoir which pumps water uphill at night and generates power during the day.
They have much nicer bathrooms than are avaliable at the nearby national forest campsite, too

We're using energy faster than the sun can provide us with more of it.
That's a news to me--I thought the vast majority of the sun's energy that hit the planet went unused.
Do you have a source for that? If it's true, we should consider using some of the rest of the sun's output...
