I could use company paper and company pens to write my letter, and mail it with a company stamp. I would be misusing company resources for personal business, but that doesn't give the company the right to read its contents. I could sit on the company toilet and use company water to take a shit, but that doesn't give them the right to watch. I could even be masturbating in there, misusing the time, and they still wouldn't have the right to monitor my activities. They would be in their rights to discipline an employee for taking long breaks and doing who knows what in the restroom, but they wouldn't be allowed to watch their employees to check just how they're spending their time in there. In this case, they can discipline her for misusing company resources, but can't violate the privacy that she has a reasonable expectation of.
On a closer note, it's the same privacy standard as if she'd had the conversation with her lawyer on the company phone -- a misuse of resources, but not within their right to listen in.
The article linked is spammy and terrible. For the actual information, see the newsitem on the xprize site or the linked details. Basically, there is no prize yet but they had a workshop to begin working out A. Rules for a prize and B. What is achievable. The actual prize would be announced in about 8-14 months.
Monty Python, when it started, was about doing something different, absurd, and rebellious. Humo(u)r was stale and repetitive at the time. The devolution of their innovative comedy into a mine for endlessly repeated quotes is antithetical to its spirit. That's why my favorite Monty Python sketch is their performance of the Dead Parrot Sketch at the Secret Policeman's Ball:

And that is why you need a vehicle that gives you engagement with the world, without protective systems or even a windshield. When you've got wind blasting in your face, you don't want to go past 65 mph.
It was written by David Peoples, who co-wrote the script for Blade Runner. By his own admission, he considers Soldier to be a "sidequel"/spiritual successor to Blade Runner.[1] It also obliquely references various elements of stories written by Philip K. Dick (who wrote the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, on which Blade Runner is based), or film adaptations thereof.
Walkthroughs don't constitute creative expression? Watch the series of videos linked from this thread. It's the best look at a terrible game you'll ever see. Sometimes funny, often insightful, and very informative about a interesting and influential chunk of game history.
Medeco offers several levels of key control to insure that its patent protected blanks cannot be copied, replicated or simulated. In many systems, proprietary keyways are available to further ensure that keys cannot be improperly compromised. Although the m3 is a very secure lock, we were able to simulate Medeco keys that can be made to bypass the keyway and slider protection of almost any system -- all without infringing on any Medeco intellectual property.
It turns out that a standard paper clip will depress the slider precisely to the correct position. A wire or paper clip, fashioned as shown, is inserted into the keyway and wedged at the end of the body of the slider.
So, with a proper paperclip, you can eliminate the additional security and remove its advantages against certain types of attacks.
The largest and most influential guild I've ever heard of would have to be Goonswarm / Goonfleet, the Eve Online alliance of players from the Something Awful forums. They have over 2000 characters, and even with alt accounts there are over a thousand members. They've taken on some of the most powerful forces in the game, even the developers themselves, and had a drastic influence on the course of the universe. But they're still not godlike, they're subject to drama, and they're unified at least in part by the meta-guild of Something Awful. People from Something Awful have also taken on pretty much every online game, including Second Life and City of Heroes, and the griefing of anshe chung was a pretty big story. If you want an influential guild, you have to look bigger.
The universe is not absolute. There is always a way.
The second statement does not follow from the first. Even though there are things we do not know yet about the universe, there are things we know are extremely inconsistent with our previous knowledge. Anti-gravity. Perpetual motion. Telepathy. They're considered kooky for good reasons: they're inconsistent with our knowledge of how the universe works. This guy is applying reasoning to colonization the same way we do to perpetual motion or telepathy to show it's extremely improbable to work.
Not even close to the tagline, with good reason

What possible benefit could you get from this sort of reconfiguration that would justify the enormous expense of automation? This isn't going to influence your average stick-frame house, it's going to be a curiosity and maybe a minor influence here and there. All the applications they've described are pretty specialized, and it doesn't indicate that your whole house will be restructuring itself anytime soon.
The summary is incorrect. They solved 8, which was more than any other team, but left two problems unattempted. If you look at the packet you can easily see why.
Anthropic Principle. It doesn't matter how many untold near-infinities of other permutations existed, because this happens to be the one where we survived. This could have been the first random set of physical laws to come up or the quintillionth, and it'd make no perceptible difference to us.
It's an extremely mouse based; lots of icons and menus and clicking, and keyboard shortcuts. There's no possible way you could distill that for a console.
...is that our buddy Roland Piquepaille finally posted a story that directly summarizes and links to the information instead of telling us to come to his blog for the real story.
I'm an administrator on wikipedia. Non-latin text usernames are inappropriate because they may not show up properly, and while that's an annoyance in an article, for usernames it can mean a lack of accountability by not being able to recognize the name. The IP block was inappropriate and shouldn't have been made. The username block was intended to force you to pick a new one, and the blocking message includes instructions on how to request a change of username and keep your contributions attached.
I was expecting to see specialized search engines, rather than generalized ones that happen to use unusual algorithms. Things like Baidu Mp3 search or Astalavista; the ones that allow special-purpose searches that feeding them into google would just produce crap.

It's a style issue because they're collective nouns and could go either way: Wikipedia goes into detail

The military doesn't use eye tracking. They track the whole head, so when you turn and look its frame of vision follows yours.

It's not a limitation of the software, it's a policy. The IP block can be turned off. The admin who blocked you was negligent in failing to do so.
Mid to late 90s or mid to late 80s? TCP/IP and internet was pretty settled by the nineties.

That budget is a year and a half old; wikipedia's traffic has increased more than tenfold over that period.
Like the guy who nailed Timbaland for ripping off a song from the demoscene a while back?
Oh wait, nothing's going to happen to him at all.

Germany was forced into signing a treaty that it didn't like by circumstances that were extremely against it. That's not a draw.
