I got an inkling of what happens after seeing an episode of MythBusters. They purchased a human skull so that they could test if a ceiling fan can kill you if you jump into the blades. So, it seems people can just order body parts over the phone.
compared to the United States, a large country with more vast, unpopulated areas than any other industrial nation.
Again this idiotic notion buried in the American psyche that they are first at everything. Canada has far more vast, unpopulated regions than the US could ever possibly hope to have.
Wouldn't it just be easier to build in a backup battery? Have it charge while the car is in motion and only switch it in when the primary battery is drained.
Plugs may work great down under where water drains in a clockwise direction, but here in the Northern Hemisphere, we need complicated plunger and lever mechanisms to deal with our counterclockwise water draining problems.
I was thinking "crash" in the looser "application stops working, or is perpetually busy, or suddenly disappears, or the mouse and keyboard stop responding, or the machine locks up, or the machine bluescreens (or panics), or exhibits blatant non-expected behaviour" definition.
There is a difference. A security hole can be exploited over and over again without alerting the user to a problem. A crash, although it may open one up to attack, cannot be exploited without alerting the user to a problem.
The librarian is facing dismissal, and possible criminal charges for the actions of another. So if the system this, why could we not punish you for someone else's crimes?
It would be the librarian's fault if the librarian was supposed to implement a firewall blocking adult content and failed to do so, or did so with imcompetence.
Take down the server? Are you saying that it can calculate pi to 1 million decimal places in 18.516 seconds, but it can't stand up to a little slashdotting? Sheesh!
It's gotten to the point where companies are no longer trying to patent unique or original ideas; they are trying to patent ALL ideas.
I think you've hit the nail on the head. There seems to be a massive trend lately to stake out territory in the intellectual property landscape (much as land was claimed in the gold rush eras). Patents, copyrights, trademarks are all being used for illegitimate purposes.
Hydrogen has three common isotopes: protium, deuterium, and tritium. They all have one proton, and zero, one, and two neutrons respectively. Water molecules (H2O) can have any of these isotopes as the hydrogen atoms. When water is made with deuterium and tritium atoms, it is called heavy water. Heavy water is used to regulate fission reactions in nuclear power plants. A heavy water refinery extracts the trace quantities of heavy water molecules from ordinary water.

I believe that those big funny hats are bear skin, not plastic.
... and bloody dismemberment of lawyers!!!
You say that as if it's a bad thing.

Anything stopping you from releasing it as Open Helios?
Of course they're All Beef Patties. They come from the All Beef company after all.

Isaac Asimov wrote a short story about a bunch of aliens who wanted to put a logo on Jupiter.
No good. You need a tide system to slosh the seas around to keep the waters from becoming stagnant.
You may be right. Perhaps what the Slashdot powers that be need to do is offer editorship privileges to high karma subscribers.
Here's an idea. Instead of complaining about it, write up a new story. Or do something yourself, like shoehorn linux onto a TRS-80 Model 100.
You're probably thinking filtering system, not firewall.
What's the difference between a firewall and a filter?
Dang!
So if the system allows this, why could we not punish you for someone else's crimes?
Note to self: Preview THEN post.

Oops! My finger slipped. That should be incompetence not imcompetence. Sorry folks.

Ah! Witness the emergence of a new Slashdot catchphrase.

Time to break out the ol' 2600 and school your kid in the fine art of PacMan or Pole Position, I guess.

Counting or not counting the uranium mines, heavy water refineries, and spent fuel storage facilities?
