My point is that attempting to find out how much contract killing costs isn't (I think) illegal, but that attempt may cause him to become a suspect in a crime he didn't commit.
For example, planning to commit murder is illegal, and such research would cast the person under suspicion. In towns where politians are "tough on crime," a prosecuter would file charges before the facts were in.
Have any IPs that hit child porn sites logged and investigated.
I believe that's called "entrapment." And if you can find a way to legally justify it for suspicion of one type of crime, it becomes easier to justify it for other crims.
For example, let's say someone is writing a book. For research, he wants to know how much contract killing costs. He googles for rates, and may or may not find the information he's looking for. Within days, however, his apartment is raided and his equipment confiscated. Shortly, he's charged with some sort of pre-murder or conspiracy crime.
What good is freedom of speech, if you don't have the freedom to find out what to say?
Well, I certainly wouldn't do it for child porn. But it'd be a humerous undertaking to call up customer service and embarass them with object examples of sites I wanted reinstated...until they either hang up or reinstate the access, just to end the call.
How about "softly" adding the support to an interperative-layer program? Something that intercepts filesystem activities like User-mode Linux does, and implements the renamings there.
You could also probably redefine the behavior of other libraries and system calls that way, too.
That picture would make me worry, too...if they had to tweak the image, you'd think they could have limited their tweaking to the portion of the image with the display in it.
I don't think the display's luminescense is causing the purple effect. Notice that the back of her hand, which is facing away from the display, is also purple.
My dad was telling me about some of his work on old custom computer equipment back in the 70s or 80s. Basically, people were saying you couldn't do regular text along with graphics on the video equipment used, but he showed that you could; he switched video modes in the middle of screen refreshes.
Talk to an old timer who's past jobs combined electrical engineering and software engineering. You'll hear some fascinating stories about overcoming assumed limitations in resources. ( I suppose that applies to other professions as well, but you'll have to try your luck. )
I was addicted after using it for, oh, a month. It took some getting used to, though. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I liked it until the calculator (HP 48g+) was stolen. I pity the poor sap here on campus who buys it from whoever stole it, but isn't able to use it.
I'd guess that it's probably hard to launch a payload (such as a satellite) in tandem with the capsule. They did it with the LEM during the Apollo missions, though.
I've been thinking of putting the drive tower in a closet, another room, something, because the heat of the tower along with the other boxes is a bit too much.
If it's hot, you'll want it some place that's well air-conditioned. Otherwise, you'll reduce your reliability. So I think a closet is out of the question.
Lincoln had the good sense to find someone already in the military and put him in charge. Even if the job did get assigned to a few incompetants before Grant got the position.
Here's a way to make the behavior optional...But I don't know that it's ever been implemented:
Make copies go into one buffer, and pastes come from another. When a Ctrl-C is detected, via XInput or whatever, copy the "copy" buffer into the "paste" buffer.
Keep an idle-quiet hard drive in the box, but don't mount it. Instead, write your raw audio data directly to the drive's device file.
There won't be any seeking, so there won't be any noise. Write raw number of bytes of the total sample to the end of the drive, so you know where your data ends and garbage begins.

...the OSS community come up with an entry?
Do as much as possible in simulation, including physics modeling and damage. An excellent proof-of-concept.

Run your porno image collection through the Apple ][ screensaver that comes with the xscreensaver package. 4-color porn.

Personally, I prefer dithering and 8 bits...reminds me of the time I first discovered the subject.

A little OT, but here goes:

No, that's Kronos.
Spoken like someone who's never used it.

"mv" as opposed to "move"
"ls" as opposed to "dir"
On the other hand, I get irritated every morning on the XP machines at work...I get:
Let me know if someone creates a Callahan's Place.
I'd guess that it's probably hard to launch a payload (such as a satellite) in tandem with the capsule. They did it with the LEM during the Apollo missions, though.
A slight logic error...wouldn't he own his own likeness?
Unfortunately you can't run superformat on USB floppies.
Still, it's a cool concept. And maybe you could use floppies you've previously run superformat on to get approx. 2MB each.

If there was a command-line tool, you could bind it to a shortcut key with whatever desktop environment/window manager you preferred.

Fine, just so long as we don't get a Post Terran Minerals Corporation.
Uh, capsules were reusable. You slapped on a new ablative heat shield, among other things, and then it was ready to go.
I'm not too familiar with X's architecture...my use of the term "global" was intended to apply to a single X server.
Is there a command-line utility for manipulating the X copy/paste buffers?
Ah, but how about catching it as a global hotkey?
How about trapping a hotkey that copies the data of one of those buffers to the other two?
