Double-blind tests suggest that free-range eggs taste the same as factory eggs.
Those studies were probably with cooked eggs. I would bet there is a noticeable difference when still raw (Not that I'm willing to conduct the experiment:). Sort of like the difference between real and artificial vanilla. There is a big difference if you take a straight spoonful, but it disappears one you put it in a cooked dish.
there's no way any normal person can write easily in C what is possible in Haskell.
I used to think that too, up until about a week ago when someone on reddit was challenged to write a C++ equivalent to Haskell's zippers. What he came up with was pretty impressive.
Possibly that guy is not a normal person though.:)
Only bad operating systems, bad driver programmers and alcohol can make your drivers crash.
If your Kernel panics, it's probably General Protection's fault. But the General will most likely blame it all on a crash caused by Major Device's driver, Private Page.
What if he really never had stolen anything, and was just telling you stories in an attempt to get you kids to incriminate yourself? That would be pretty low, but I can imagine that a 30 year old stockboy working with kids half his age, any of whom he might be calling "boss" in another few years, might have just such a mindset.
I'm pretty sure every car sold in the US since the Yugo will last more than 15 years, unless you do something really stupid with it.
Yes, I'm sure that the experience of someone who knows how to "port the heads" (whatever that means) and "install a new camshaft" (whatever that means) is representative of the experience of the rest of us who just take our cars to the shop down the road when something starts clanking.
Not really a blow to creation science. Don't get me wrong - I think evolution has more than enough science behind it to accept it as fact. But I also think it's good to try to really understand all sides of an argument. Just casually flipping through a creationism book will show that creationists don't have any problems with natural selection - which is what this is. It's the idea of evolution - one species turning into an entirely different species - that gets their panties in a bunch. Just using natural selection to make herbicide-resistant weeds isn't really any different than selecting certain traits to create new dog breeds. But that isn't evolution either.
So long as there aren't any requirements that porn must use.xxx then this isn't a problem.
They will be required. Not explicitly, but laws will be drafted that make porn sites liable for minors viewing their material unless it's through the.xxx domain. Sites will comply out of financial reasons. Honestly, I can't figure out why the moralists are against this.
There weren't really any good anti-hacking laws on the books in 1988. The Internet wasn't really on the public radar, and Morris did a lot to change that. I remember this time well because I was 20 years old in 1988 and was doing a lot of the same things Morris was. For anyone who could read a Unix man page, Internet security back then was a complete joke. Every system from pretty much every vendor was trivially hackable from the second the coax was attached. The thing that Morris did that the rest of us didn't was hack together some shell scripts to automate the process.
Anyway, when the worm hit, there were a lot of questions over what he could be charged with. I think the whole "unauthorized access of a computing device" was drafted in response to that. At that time, My cohorts and I were on fairly good "friendly enemy" terms with the college sysadmins, and would dutifully notify them (i.e. brag) whenever we found a new exploit. However, starting right about the time the Morris worm hit, attitudes about our activity started changing rapidly. Laws were drafted, at the Federal and state level. There were mutters from higher up about "teaching those kids a lesson". The sysadmins didn't smile and wave anymore when we passed each other. Computers were starting to become important to "regular people".
Personally, I wised up, and found more creative uses for my talents. I also got my own sysadmin job, which changed my outlook regarding hacking greatly:). But I would have fully expected, two years after the worm, to have faced far harsher treatment that Morris had, and it wouldn't have occurred to me to blame class-ism. It was a time of great change, in technology, attitudes, and criminal statutes.
Kernell was found guilty of computer fraud - a misdemeanor subject to a prison term of up to one year -- and obstruction of justice, which carries a maximum 20-year sentence.
Don't lie to the feds. They get all bent out of shape about that. Frankly, even if they were to question me about someone else's crime, I would give serious consideration to refusing to speak to them, out of concern that my version of events might not be the same as someone else's, and they might decide that I was the one "misremembering".

But that's the best picture they can get of the largest virus known to mankind?
That's just the first part. Then they send it over to the CSI guys and say "enhance!"
I don't see why you think that it was disingenuous to expect that a real person on the street might plead to us to stop the violence.
All good propaganda starts out being perfectly plausible.
Obviously you have not had the pleasure of eating a Möbius pancake.
Damn you. Now I will not rest until I have figured out how to make a Möbius pancake.

For those of you who think avoiding jury duty is an option rather than a duty
It's my duty to avoid jury duty?
Thank you, this sort of informative post is the reason I still read slashdot comments.
Except he's going to federal prison. No parole in federal prison. He can get time off for good behaviour, though.

I keep voting and nothing new happens.
This is a perception problem. I have developed a pill that doubles the placebo effect. Take two and you should feel much better in the morning.
As a natural carnivore, vegetarian's disgust me!
Funny, as a natural carnivore, I find vegetarians to be quite tasty.
Yes, because government bureaucracies have a much better track record at deciding what's best for everyone.
Rugs are occidental, people like movies, are Western.
It was an occident, caused by his disorientation.

This just helps the program know *when* to lie.
Just like the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman: The used car salesman *knows* when he's lying.

He used to have four paws. Now he has fore paws and faux paws.
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say. Can you simplify that a bit?
The raw material is still there after the methane is extracted. It's still good fertilizer.
So.... Can you sum that up in a couple of sentences for me?

Name me one major religion that does not have misogyny as a core principal
