Can you please define the work "terrorist" in a manner that does not include the United States?
The answer "you just know" is not acceptable, and the answer must be universal not something like "people who do things we don't like" because "we" are only 5% of the world population.
I can think of two reasonable ones; actually, these are definitions for "terrorism" but I assume that's good enough for your purposes:
1. A strategy of directly targeting the enemy's noncombatants. 2. Low level warfare by an individual or group that hides itself in a larger population.
You don't know what you're talking about. The DMCA is an act that made substantial changes to copyright law, and it affects all copyrights. There are not special copyrights for digital vs. analog works, and there is only one set of copyright laws in the US: Title 17 of the US Code.
I don't do shorts, and I couldn't find any way to buy a put option against SCOX. I still think they're downward-bound, is there any way to make money on it with reasonably limited risk?
The DDK is for hardware drivers and a few other things, but not for filesystem drivers. For that you need the IFS kit, $899 + s/h. Last I heard it consists of a header file(ntifs.h) and an example driver.
You can get a GPLed reimplementation of ntifs.h here, it apparently works but i've never tried it myself. There's several example drivers there, and links to some attempts at Ext2 filesystem drivers for NT.
I don't know how linux crashes, but NT can be configured to dump its entire RAM onto a preallocated portion of the drive when a blue-screen bugcheck happens. It worked for me almost 100% of the time (on a system with some very marginal hardware; grepping through the resulting mass of raw memory was annoying, but not as much as losing the documents I was working on)
There isn't really a time limit for how much your system can do after a system crash, the problem is that you can't trust your kernel data, the state of your hardware devices, etc., so there's not much useful work you can do in that state

Is Swap Necessary?

Do you have a deranged amount of disk fragmentation or something? What happens if you terminate the process (task manager->processes->executable name->end process->yes) instead of closing it normally?
23 minutes to deallocate less than a gig of ram seems like you've got more serious problems than overly-aggressive swap behavior.
All the suffering of all the animals in the world is not worth the suffering of one human.
If there's a potential treatment for paraplegia that involves brutally torturing millions of cute puppies for their life-giving tears, I'm all for trying it out--and there will be no shortage of volunteers to recieve it. Let the people who don't want to be cured not be, it's their place to decide for their life alone. The rest of us would like to stop worrying about being able to walk, or worse, from some stupid accident.
There doesn't need to be an exception for them, it's not unreasonable for police to wiretap someone's internet connection (or phone, or kitchen) if they have probable cause and get a warrant, for any serious crime.
Damn, that works for me. Any domain name with a character from about U+00A1 to U+00FF like "http://www.windows®.com/" (slashdot mangles it in links, copy+paste) resolves to 198.41.1.35, and either gives me a not found page or tries to install some verisign backdoor on my machine (see item 11)
Does anyone mirror the gTLDs so that I don't have to deal with continuous bullshit like this?
Did you also know that what you are proposing is little better than a hosts file which will cane the bollocks off of the top level name servers?
bullshit, the.com domain is already a de-facto global hosts file and it works just fine. Adding a few silly TLDs that nobody uses will not make the DNS namespace suddenly heirarchal in practice or more scaleable.
You should hit yourself with a stick as a proof of concept.
Exactly, they should sue (or try to get an attorney general to prosecute) instead of worrying about a technical solution. Besides, even if there were no TLDs, they could have just gotten "handybackups" or "handibackup" or "handy-backup" or the like.
There's only a significant doppler effect to cell towers ahead of or behind the plane, towers to the sides or below would still be at the regular frequency (or at least, no further off than from a moving car).
One issue I could still imagine is that the plane's velocity would cause cell handovers at an unusually high rate, possibly faster than the network or phone can handle.
Most cars have their electric fuel pumps inside the gas tank these days.
Indeed, and when they break, you have to pretty much take the back end of the car apart to replace it, at least on my car. Dollar signs light up in the eyes of the mechanic.
In the last 4000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.
Not that this is the only wrong thing on this list, but starting in 1959 Russian scientists started breeding foxes for tameness, and there is now a domesticated line of foxes.
Much later on, in the 1960s IIRC, a manager at Ford in the UK had some petrol (gasoline to all you US/.ers) poured into pools in the concrete-surfaced yard, then a tractor dragged assorted pieces of scrap iron through it for several hours, no ignition!
I'd be a little worried that there was too much gasoline to cause an explosion. It's not so much the liquid fuel that's the problem as the vapor in the air, there's a certain fuel air mixture that is maximally sensitive to heat (i don't know if it's the same as the "stoichiometric ratio" where all the fuel and air is burned). Testing like that might lead to a thick layer of gas vapor "suffocating" any potential explosion/fire caused by the sparks.
Same thing with other way-too-much-gasoline tests in the other comments, those alone won't prove that an explosion can't happen with a leaner mixture.
Ah, Pascal's wager, just scratch out "going to hell" and replace it with "cellphone-related immolation".
Did you know that leaving your phone in the car while fueling can cause an explosion? 'struth! The microwave radio signals your phone uses can apply a charge to the body of your car, and since your rubber tires keep it insulated, the only discharge path is thru the gas pump. A spark right across where the vapors are densest and blammo, all your hair gets burned right off. It's terrible.
It may not be too likely, or even make sense, but compared to the minor inconvienence of taking your phone out of the car with you while filling up...
piezos generate electricity when you hit them, there's a whole spring-hammer system in an ignitor. Short of smacking the phone with a claw hammer, how would the piezo speaker generate a spark by playing a ringtone?
MUTE's webpage seems to indicate it uses gnutella-style broadcast searching, then routes the data back down the path to the searcher rather than transmitting it directly to them.
Is that true? If so they're going to experience scaling problems that'll make Freenet's look trivial...

I heard on NPR yesterday, prices in California are as high as $2.35 a gallon.
That's roughly the price here in Santa Monica, CA for the low-grade (87 octane).

It was, until the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 2002: Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition
