We're far enough away from any likely candidate systems that we would only pick up very high power omni-directional signals - in other words, intentional beacons. Such a beacon is unlikely to be highly encoded (though there might be an associated signal that *is* highly encoded, and to which there is a pointer in the beacon signal). In other words, we don't have to worry too much about the Kolmogorov complexity of extra-terrestrial signals, because we won't be "overhearing" anything.
You are assuming that people can't keep up with change. Sounds like you've never worked with top notch people. A truly talented IT guy can keep up with innovations well into his 70s - if he pushes himself (or herself).
I would say the issues go back to Adobe's refusal to license postscript as a display language for the OS X display rendering engine and their original refusal to write a version of Premiere for OS X (which lead to the birth of Final Cut).
Insomniacs can sleep. We just take much longer to get to sleep and wake at the drop of a hat, and so never get the amount of sleep we need. Oh, and I live in EST
There's a book that's 2200 years old. I don't mean the story (or in this case, poem) is 2200 years old, I mean the *piece of paper* (or in this case, papyrus) on which someone copied the (2400 year-old) poem is 2200 years old. In the right conditions, archival quality paper will last a *lot* longer than any electronic medium.
A cursory search finds that Hyundai donated $1M to the project, so you might not want to make that assumption. The CoE would I imagine have to be involved in any project on the Mall
Guys, it's really not that hard:
GregYear <- (appropriate year for start of Gregorian era in locale)
IF (month = 2 AND year MOD 4 = 0 AND
(year < GregYear OR year MOD 100 > 0 OR year MOD 400 = 0))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 29}
ELSE IF (month = 2)
{MaxDayForMonth <- 28}
ELSE IF (month IN (4,6,9,11))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 30}
ELSE
{MaxDayForMonth <- 31} (pseudocode style adapted for Slashcode)
I certainly hope you don't characterize "real estate" as "real property." The owner of real estate owns something just as abstract as the owner of Intellectual Property does - the right to use and occupy land. Ultimately, all property is abstract: if you hand me a five dollar bill to look at, does it become my property because it is in my possession, or does it remain your property?
I believe such monuments are usually funded by subscription by private organizations; and I find evidence that such is the case for this Memorial. So, NO, your tax dollars did not pay for this, though it is on public land; I do not know if the Federal government maintains the site or a private organization does so (as is the case with e.g. Monticello).
Savitch's book is superb as a textbook. You won't find many other books that are that good.
The two things I'd suggest learning about are data structures/algorithms and design patterns.
For the former, there are a lot of text books, but the good ones are advanced and expensive (for instance, Cormen, Leiserson & Rivest, *Introduction to Algorithms*), and the inexpensive ones are poorly written. You might try the O'Reilly book "Algorithms in a Nutshell*.
For the latter, there are a number of books - a good intro book is *Head First Design Patterns*; the book of books is the so-called Gang of Four book that introduced the idea, *Design Patterns* by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides.
The UAE actually is a collection of small sovereign states who have banded together, but are not unified under a single government... Sort of like pre-1789 USA.
Yes, but it needs to happen without our "help." you can't force democracy down someone's throat at the point of a gun (Germany and Japan are exceptions, as the occupations of those countries were justified in the minds of their citizens by the nature of the conflict). Read @oxfordgirl on Twitter to get some idea of how pro-Western, secularist Iranian Greens feel about our "help."
Or, in somewhat more technical terms, the fact that they suspect it's manmade suggests it has a very high albedo, which would make it much easier to find.
RSA uses semiprimes - numbers with only two prime factors. If you know the factors p and q, you can derive the private key from the public key through multiplication mod (p-1)(q-1).
There are much faster ways to factorize numbers than brute force - the best is the general number field sieve.
It is Diffie-Hellman which uses discrete logs. There are better attacks against discrete logs than brute force, too.
Once we have sufficiently powerful quantum computers, both the factorization problem and the discrete log problem will be made trivial by Schor's algorithm.

It is far more likely that this is the aerospace analog to "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM."
Well, this makes it a lot easier for me to answer this question from OpenSource.com.

Unlike 90% of Boston (the relatively new Back Bay is the exception, as that was built on 19th century fill), Chicago is on a grid.

I think he's writing a rootkit for a grad school project. Notice the emphasis in "open source."

He's probably afraid they lifted his prints from the doorknob to that apt he burgled in high school to get some money to buy weed.

I think he's read Cryptonomicon one too many times.
I would imagine that Google will also deploy gigabit worthy applications.

From what I remember, Excel also thinks that February 29, 2000 doesn't exist.
Hey, what did you do the last time you realized you said something unbelievably stupid on the internet? Oh, right, post as an anonymous coward!
Facepalm. I'm gonna get mauled for this one.
