God had to lower it to 186,000 miles per hour, or lose out on quadrillions of dollars worth of highway funds from congress. There are all sorts of studies proving that it conserves entropy or saves lives, but they're all bunk.
What's that prove? That's essentially strict-whitelisting. Which, is not a solution for global email, unless you never want to recieve mail from strangers. You can't even do mild whitelisting, as they can continue to generate new signatures faster than you can flag them as spammers.
Has all the same flaws as other whitelising methods, not to mention it looks more complicated to some, and they'll assume that it must work, and when it doesn't they'll blame crypto-signing. ("This damn certificate signatures is causing me even more spam!")
I agree, but I wish enigmail would be included in thunderbird by default. The thunderbird/firefox philosophy is to include only the essentials, right? Anything else should be a plugin/extension. Well, for email, I would think that pgp is an essential, and they need to consider it such.
Hardly indeterminate. Hard to comprehend, maybe. Meaningless in any practical application, even. "2's repeating to the left of decimal" - "1's repeating to the left of decimal" still yields an infinite number. Subtract "1's repeating to the left of decimal" once more, and you get zero.
I accept the age of the earth as being ~4billion. Assuming that are star isn't first generation, that means bare minimum, has to be 8ish. But past that, how do I know that it's not 500 trillion? I've not liked very well some of the explanations I've read. 14billion isn't ludicrous, mind you. It's plausible, but no more or less plausible than 16billion, 11billion, or even 30 billion.
When I was 11, I figured out that all numbers are infinite. Just as you have the bar above the 3's in 1.3333, we really need to be able to move the bar to the other side of the decimal place. (Remember asking the teacher if the bar could only be over the tenth's place, and she said yes... then I asked what 14 and 1/3ths was, divided by 10. God I hate public education). Once you do so, it's quite obivous that the integer 1 really has places in both directions filled with zeros. *repeating zeros* 1. *repeating zeros*. Integers are kinda boring this way, but what happens when you have other numerals repeating to the left of the decimal place, or even non-repeating, like an inverted pi?
So, calling "half of infinity still infinity", is a dumb way of putting it. It's possible to concieve of some infinite values subtracting and leaving what most consider finite values, zero, or other infinite values that are still *less* than the original (to the point that subtracting from them again would leave them at zero). Shame slashdot doesn't allow for mathml, or I'd have an easier time describing this.
I discovered a macroscopic wormhole once, but it only went to Cleveland. I wish I had had the foresight to take busfare with me before I tested it, I had to hitchhike back. I still have nightmares about the 3-toothed trucker.
Or Frederick Pohl. Poor Wan-Wan-Wan. If only Wan-To had thought to accelerate a few extra galaxies to the speed of light with his graviscalars, he might have still had many playgrounds left.
Not a biblethumper here, I'm pretty sure I'm an atheist. And while I'm also sure the universe is rather old (in the billions of years), the 13.7 billion years strikes me as wrong. I understand the the expansion of the universe, but it's like these scientists stood out in the median of an interstate for 5 minutes early sunday morning, and seeing only a few cars in either direction *moving away* from him, he assumes that just 20 minutes before he arrived, all the cars were extra-dimensionally super-imposed on each other right where he is now standing, in an ultra-hot, ultra-dense car singularity. Sure, everything is moving away from everything else.
But if this started only 150 years ago, we would have missed it all standing still, wouldn't we?
Not really. I hardly have a formal study's results on hand to dispute this, but anecdotally I can tell you that "old money" trumps "new money" on so many counts, it's positively absurd. Even when dollar amounts are equal.
The 6th generation heir worth $500 million is much more influential than the newly minted billionaire.
I own 5 amiga's myself. I used to try and find them at thrift stores and flea markets, so I could sell them on ebay... but after playing with them, decided I couldn't part with the things. I never owned one when they were in their prime (or any computer, for that matter, though if I could have, and if I knew what I now know, it would have been an amiga), but I am an afficianado of them all the same, if such can be said of someone who came to the game so late.
All that said, it's kinda sad to see you sitting here begging for whatever name-branded Amiga scraps you can get. By all rights, I should be sitting here posting with my brand new Miggybook 3ghz m88k machine, with sanaII wifi card and integrated hdtv tuner. Amiga OS 4.0 seems, well, lame.
No, Starbucks merely licensed the name for $25 million per year, as is commonly done with stadiums and national parks. You know, like with Cingular now leasing the name rights to what was formerly Yellowstone National Park. Duh.
And yes, I need big fat envelopes, but not from you hippies. Just because you made a killing in a dotcom IPO 6 years and are now a billionaire, doesn't mean that you have the PR infrastructure to keep me in office. This is more about power, and less about money than you might think.
I'm uncircumsized. My mother isn't a jew. I have no religious faith, certainly not a jewish one.
Even more so, if you carefully read my post, well, maybe take a semester of english first, you might realize that it actually says something along the lines "if I don't sell out, but do good things for everyone, I end up not so bad off myself anyway". It's only one of several million ways of paraphrasing the golden rule, if not nearly so eloquently.
I'm quite anti-greed, if a bit wordy. I've both been called a communist, and told I talk too much.
Am I allowed to call you a nazi without invoking godwin, seeing as how you're apparently and literally anti-semitic?
Your hippy rhetoric falls on deaf ears. We at the Starbucks Legislature (formerly California State Legislature) easily ignore those problems that would seem to invalidate our laws. Selective enforcement and a cultivated ignorance of technology, what more does a junior state senator need?

Or use wormholes, and beam it directly. Imagine being on the freeway though, when the power goes out at home, and your electric car stalls out...
Privacy yes, spam-free no. Encryption isn't a solution, unfortunately.
The enigmail gui allows you to create the keys. And I'm sorry, I just assumed we were talking thunderbird on linux.

Same here, especially considering I just found another job. I really want a boxed set, but do I wait for 10.1, or just buy 10.0 ?
If ever I've used software that deserves my money, it's slack.

Sounds like a fun project then. Too bad a lawsuit would squash it.
We could just set up our own servers...

The dumb ones. It doesn't take too big of a brain to realize that I might actually do well myself, to do well by others.
