To get acceleration from a force, use Force = mass * acceleration. Equating the two cancels out the mass of the falling object. The acceleration of the object depends only on the mass of the other object. In other words, massive objects fall with greater force because a greater force is required to accelerate them. If it somehow seems strange that only the mass of one of the objects affects acceleration, realize that it works both ways. The earth's acceleration towards a falling object does not depend on the mass of the earth, only on the mass of the object. It accelerates towards it as much as the other light falling object does, which is to say approximately zero.
Swing a dead cat. Swing. Unless you are suggesting that all dead cats are capable of building reports, or that the natural habitat of people who can build reports is beneath cat corpses. Which are amusing thoughts.
Asking how a neural network represents something is like asking how a real brain represents something. The answer is that we just don't know yet. One of the key properties of neural networks, both natural and artificial, is that they develop their own representations of things in a way that, currently, humans just can't understand. At least, that's what my AI textbook says. Need to take the neural net class.
So without net neutrality, a theoretical entity that owns big pipes and is against this greed could figure out which packets are being prioritized and which are being deprioritized on incoming pipes from other providers. Then on their pipes, swap the priorities.
You need encryption to ensure that when you send your credit card number to a website, all the networks in between do not get to write that number down and save it for later. You need to keep your private key private so that, when a malicious cracker gets into the website for your major operating system and puts in some innocent looking update files on the server, the clients on the other end can verify that they have not been signed by you. You need encryption so that you can keep your plans for rebellion out of sight of the oppressive government you live under. Maybe not the U.S. or Britain (yet), but one would hope that people in places like Iran are able to secretly make plans with themselves and with outside forces to throw off the yolk of whatever is bothering them.
Depends. If you get one of the towers (still only available with G5s), then it has the standard stuff. Uses standard hard drives, standard ram, standard AGP cards, standard PCI cards. You're probably not going to have much ability to swap out the mobo, but third party processor upgrades have been standard fare for a long time.
The rest of the machines (iMac, Mac Mini, the laptops) are approximately as upgradeable as a PC laptop, which is to say not all that much. Hard drive and ram can be replaced, of course. The Pro laptops have a PCMCIA slot, but not the others. No mini-PCI slots either (as far as I know), but who uses those anyway?
Hmm. At the university here, (at least in the CISE dept), we make good use of NFS. All users have one home, regardless of which server they login to. It would also be easy to place the script somewhere in NFS space. A per-user login script that calls the centralized script could be added to the skel structure so that all new users would receive it. It could be deployed to existing users with a script along the lines of "for each directory in/homes as x, if/homes/x/.login exists, append blah to it. Else, create it and put blah in it". Assuming that "blah" executes the centralized script, this could be even more useful, since you can just add things to the central script later.
That sounds like a horrible idea. I'd hate to have to implement it. What's so hard about tossing out a single script that contains a bunch of alias definitions, and maybe running it in the default login script?

Since the GBA slot is also used as the DS's expansion slot (for things like the Rumble Pak that comes with Metroid Pinball), they probably wouldn't want to take it out.
Oh, and for all that music you ripped, you probably did it in un-DRM'd AAC. You should be able to use the "Convert Selection to MP3" menu item in the Advanced menu on those, which should be more convenient than doing CDs.
Em, I don't know exactly how the Windows iTunes is set up, but on my mac:
iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Importing -> Import Using: MP3 Encoder, Setting: Higher Quality (192 kbps)
Stuff from the music store? Burn it to an audio CD. You can probably figure out what to do from there.

They'd have to implement a special extension for binary files. I think applying NOT to everything would be appropriately secure.

That's why it has a lanyard.
Your superior intellect is no match for our puny weapons!

There is a game called "Mario Bros" which is not "Super Mario Bros". It was released on the NES and as a mini game in SMB3. Don't get them confused.
Yes, we must fight for our whites. rights. whatever.

Yeah, DBtS was a fun game. I only had the keypad to play it with so it was tad awkward.
Metal Gear Solid was on the GC in the form of Twin Snakes.
Due to the proprietary media format used for GC/Rev discs, I find this unlikely. The new discs are DVD sized, but they aren't DVD format.

Level 40 Square Block LFG?
So far this sounds a lot like the Star Wars NGE, but hopefully done correctly. Good luck to them.

This was produced by D&D geeks for D&D geeks, and as a D&D geek I was amused. Self satire is healthy and fun.

Sure they do. At least, on the 15" and up Powerbooks.
