Salesforce can connect with your Outlook and Excel applications to synch data. It supports CRM, contact management, and allows you to create custom data objects and reports for you to track your grants, interactions and donations.
By their reasoning, all of my elementary school teachers are criminals. Then again, so are most of us. How many students were asked to "read aloud" parts of the story in class?
Repeating symbols in the middle, plus the complexity of the outer sections suggests (to me at least) that there is more than just a key here. Ignoring the symbols (which look a little like bastardized geometry notations) and breaking the hex into words:
The first section seemed to decode via base three. So converting the values produces:

Using the mapping in the first paragraph doesn't seem to make any sense:

Easy: it can't. The Internet is a global thing now, and a law here in the USA isn't going to mean jack in China. They might come up with some sort of legal statement saying that any porn site must be blocked by ISPs in the US. Then again, we've seen how effective these have been for other countries, not to mention that censorship has up until now been one of this country's "great ideals."
I still say nothing beats regulation by parents. Inform your kids about what's appropriate to say and do online in a public forum. Monitor their net surfing either in person, with a filter (NetNanny, etc), or by checking your cache after they're done. If they're not behaving, then it's good parenting to take whatever action is appropriate.
While I too find this somewhat ironic, he does bring up a good point. In a virtual world where the only truly identifying characteristic is a character's name, how does a name change (forced or voluntary) impact relations with others in the game? A follow up question would be: how could developers, if they so chose, account for this to minimize any negative impact?
If the idea of MMORPG social circles seems trivial or unimportant to you, what about something like a seller's account on eBay? In a digital world when all someone has to go on is the reputation of your "unique ID," what happens when that ID changes such that it is no longer recognizable as you?
The issue is the definition of marriage. It's not just a legal concept.
You have hit the nail on the head there. I think the biggest confusion arises because gays are fighting for the legal word "marriage" while conservative religious groups are fighting to preserve the religious significance of "marriage." Setting aside the whole freedom of religion thing and that not every religion claims gays are wrong (this is a majority christian country after all), civil unions start to look like a promising compromise. There is only one drawback to this solution, and it's something we've seen just last century. There is no such thing as "separate but equal". Perhaps civil unions would be a best first step, but I am sure we will see problems arise just as we did when segregation was lawful. In the end either way, no church is required to hold a ceremony or recognize a gay union. That's a breach of freedom of religion. But i do strongly support a legal union of some sort available to whomever wants it.
And I assume you have real world experience to back that up? How many straight and gay couples in long term relationships have you surveyed to arrive at that conclusion? Love is love.
The same is true on the other side of the fence. The most passionate are out marching, protesting, lobbying for equal treatment. Your average gay man or woman is pretty normal, and I bet many heteros would never be able to pick them out.
Sounds to me like gay and lesbian people (as represented by the movement, not the individual people) are not wanting to be treated like everyone else, they want to be special. They want political clout, they want marches, they want to throw their personal preferences into the living room of the other 80% of the population.
Yep, that's right. Gays want to join that special club of people who don't have to worry about being attacked on the street or in their own homes. They want to have those special rights like hospital visits and the ability to make medical decisions should their long-term partner become incapacitated. Let's not forget about the special right to keep a job without fear of harassment or being laid off for "poor performance," or any of the other hundreds of "special" rights the rest of the country takes for granted.
If you're talking marriage, then that's a different animal. Explain to me why 3 men and a cat can't get married but 2 men can? Marriage is either a social and evolutionary construct between each sex or it's just a club. I support equal rights as far as survivor's beneifts, insurance, etc, but not changing the definition of a 4-thousand+ year institution simply because some of my fellow americans are stupid and hurt gay people.
When a cat can understand the concept of marriage, its rights and responsabilities, and becomes a valid citizen of the country it lives in, then it should be granted marriage rights. Until then, a cat is a cat, and people are people.
Double check your history. Gay relationships are out of fashion only in the current time. Historically in many cultures they have been accepted and even praised.
in 1997 the internet was brand new to most of the world. there weren't things like kazaa, donkey, or morpheus that can search videos as well as music. i wonder if most people don't have websites bookmarked already or search for pr0n via personals websites, usenet, or p2p.
Exactly what I was thinking... an exploit is found and/or marketing researchers get ahold of the data to create more annoying banners and popups. The article did say that the results would be available to anyone.
I know the compile-time checking for things like ArrayList is a good thing, but is there any note on how this may impact things like HttpSession or HttpServletRequest attributes, where different data types are essential?
One thing they always seem to omit is that DNA testing is not 100% reliable. Not counting the possibility of errors in the testing lab, or decay or contamination of the sample, the results still narrow things down to one in x-million people (the value of x currently escapes me) under ideal conditions. While this may be sufficient for a paternity test, I'm not sure it's equally effective as stand-alone evidence for any arbitrary crime.
According to
this website (thank you, Google), Incas used a base 10 system for numbering, while all their neighbors used base 60. If this is true, I would venture to say that the 7-bit quipu system was just large enough for their other records, same as the original 7-bit ASCII was for the standard western alphabet.

What do you mean by symbolic problem? Aren't symbols visual themselves?
Exactly what I was thinking... an exploit is found and/or marketing researchers get ahold of the data to create more annoying banners and popups. The article did say that the results would be available to anyone.
Exactly. Question #6 doesn't even have a "mu" option:
6. Would you re-use blocks of code written elsewhere
* Only if you were confident that nobody would find out
* Whether it would be found out or not
What if I already answered "I don't re-use code (that I don't own)"?
yup. you'd be surprised. i've found my share that require it... and a few that require it not be there.
I know the compile-time checking for things like ArrayList is a good thing, but is there any note on how this may impact things like HttpSession or HttpServletRequest attributes, where different data types are essential?
