Meh, no mod points when I need them. This seems like a good idea, but the tricky part is getting people to think they want it.
You can try the insurance approach, raising prices if you're not "safe", or rather, a "safe router discount". Perhaps even have a certificate come with the router that you give to your ISP. Alternately, you can try a badge approach, similar to the "Energy Star Compliant" badge.
The trick is to wrap the null-grav Bose-condensate shielding around the entire ship in a sphere rather than just using it as a flat base. You then punch a hole in the front and run tubing through the front and point the exhaust out the back. This fixes the alignment issue nicely, as your only concern is to point the front towards the gravitational mass you are using to pull the ship with the additional benefit of having emergency/additional power using the thruster. You then generate the 91 micro-kelvins inside the ship itself to continually refresh the Bose-condensate. Note however that heat will be an issue, and you will need to find a way to vent it once your heat containment vessel reaches saturation, probably through the aforementioned thrusters.
Science makes some very big assumptions about causality. "Similar causes lead to similar effects." Thus far, these assumptions have held up, but if we, for example, unequivocally break the light-speed barrier, science would be turned on its ear.
I believe there are more assumptions made by science, (science being defined as following the scientific method.)
Verizon was the last company investing in broadband infrastructure with their FiOS deployments. They've already announced that they're stopping. No more FiOS.
Yes it can. They own the name. They own most of the market share. They can roll out a new version that is broken in some regards towards the old version, and boom. Java as we know it is dead. Basically, embrace and extend, but with their own tech, so they would have an easier time of it. Why they would want to is the question to ask, and I don't trust Oracle very much.
The problem being, of course, some people wouldn't get representation and would end up being steamrolled. A more fair approach would be that only the lawyer bringing the case would need to win it or die trying.
The problem with that is, *all* sets will be of that type, or people who buy new devices would complain that their device is supposed to be new, yet they're still locked out of whatever. A few years later, they won't release any content without the anti-analog flag. At which point old TV sets won't work, (again,) and grandma won't have access to important information about hurricanes and stuff.
If the anti-analog flag is there, many people will want to use it on everything because they won't consider the negative effects. It's just human nature.
Cash accounting is the one that makes sense. You mark it down when you get it.
Short version of accrual accounting: you mark it down when you are told you will get it. If you are told you will be paid and then you aren't, you write it off as a loss. Under cash accounting, you wouldn't ever have written that transaction down.
I suppose in theory, MS or WB could inflate those numbers up to be huge, but it wouldn't have any effect, as your taxable income ends up at the same amount. A tax expert can probably explain the minor nuances. I hate accounting.
I wonder if a "real" ISP would be able to partner with a spam-fighter to allow them to fight the good fight. I'm sure within half a dozen phone calls, you'd fine one that was willing to lend you their name. I'd suggest looking at the list of registered ISPs at the Copyright office - http://www.copyright.gov/onlinesp/list/index.html as they're likely to have all of the other bases covered already.
Incidentally, there's also a SSN-like entity called an Employer Identification Number. I believe that EINs and SSNs never coincide, but I'm not 100% certain.
What GP is saying is that, NAT has the same security characteristics as a firewall configured in a specific, fairly secure way. And because NAT can't be "punctured" as easily as a firewall, developers were forced to deal with the issues of running a firewall with those security characteristics. It's similar to what Microsoft is attempting with UAC. By forcing developers to deal with security, we end up with more secure programs and protocols.
If NAT never existed, most people would be using software firewalls only, and if you think NAT isn't a firewall, (you didn't say this, but I've heard it said many times), I'm sure you have strong opinions about software firewalls.
An encrypted config file can be considered to be quite similar to DRM. It won't work. If FF can read it somehow, then anyone else can read it by looking at how FF does it. It's even easier because FF is open source.
With that said, an open, unencrypted system that allows updates to be automatically added, but gives you a list of which ones were added since you last started FF would be very similar, without making companies try to work around it.
If every human with dengue fever is so treated, the mosquitoes will not have a chance to spread the fever any further if they do bite you. I don't understand the disease, and the article itself was light on detail, but if the disease spreads from...mosquito->human->mosquito->human..., you would be removing the human->mosquito leg of the cycle.
Patents expire in 20 years. So, no teenage pregnancy, and you're set. Oh, copyright, (assuming they change the laws), life+50 is starting to sound like a really bad idea right about now.
I am fine today and how are you? I hope this letter will find you in the best of health. I am Joe Fitz, and I recently hacked the "Virginia Department of Health Professionals". They have paid me a ransom of $10,000,000 (TEN MILLION DOLLARS). However, this balance of US$10,000,000.00 has been secured in form of Credit/Payment to a foreign contractor, hence we wish to transfer into your bank account as the beneficiary of the fund. We have also arrived at a conclusion that you will be given 20% of the total sum transferred as our foreign partner, while 5% will be reserved for incidental expenses that both parties will incur in the course of actualizing this transaction, and the balance of 75% will be kept for the committee members....
I've been wondering for a long time, what's to stop someone from using UDP packets with a forged source IP? You can even stick the IP on the same/24 or/25 or whatever, and give credit to the/24 or/25 in a bit torrent like tit-for-tat scheme. Uploading would then be "semi-anonymous". The main issues I see are: ISPs may not like it, and egress filtering may be an issue, although I think that limiting it to/24 would minimize that.
To be fair, internal email can be used to social engineer problems. "Take down the number 3 reactor for maintenance." Send similar messages to different people regarding different reactors. etc.

It seems they've given direct permission to use the seal seen at http://www.fbi.gov/multimedia/images/equipment/evidenceresponseteamvehicle.jpg , it just needs a little cleaning up.

They look like an amazingly sweet couple.
When I told her they received too many flowers, my girlfriend suggested they give the flowers to a local hospital instead of the neighbors.
