Maybe they tried, but on a wrong frequency (light, perhaps). Maybe we interpretted it as noise from a nearby satellite. Maybe we got it, but SETI@Home failed to identify it. Maybe they have non-interference laws and just wanted to have a look, but sent fresh pilots into unfamiliar atmospheric conditions because all the good pilots were busy with more important planets.
They can't hire Random Guy to buy their cigs because Random Guy would in effect be selling to the minors (a crime).
It's already a crime to supply minors with cigarettes (in Norway anyways). The same goes for selling or giving them items that can encourage tobacco use, as well as sale from vending machines.
One of my big gaming moments was playing hide and seek with one of those commandos. I was very low on health and explosives, so I crawled around trying to find him. I snuck around to the other side of a pillar just as he was sneaking around the other way.
I'm telling you, it could have been a scene from any ol' thriller.
but a test for good results is (comparatively) easy to design.
Actually, it's terribly hard. You can say that "this picture should match this person and that picture should match that person", and that will give you an algorithm that works great on those faces, but can/will give horrible results on everything else.
Of course, if your genotype representation is good, a GA would surely do wonders, but then you're basically back to where you started, how to represent and interpret a face in general.
It's all etymological. "Thou shalt not kill" would prevent people from slaughtering animals or throwing away weeds from their gardens. However, you can't "murder" animals (although we vegetarians will tell you otherwise). Even if thou shalt not murder, soldiers don't murder the enemy and executioners don't murder their clients.
Women make up more than half of all college students. A high percentage of law and medical students are female.
There are more women in total, but many of them attend humanistic and esthetic subjects. While law and medicine are certainly respectable fields of study, I'm really not impressed by the figures when there are two women studying sculpturing or interpretive dance for every man studying physics or electrical engineering.
Simple, it would see that "democrat" was a literal and thus it would be highly unlikely that 'vote' would happen to have that same pointer value, and it would suggest if(strcmp(vote,"democrat")==0) instead.
But as far as I understand our vision system is itself based on a sort of RGB sensor and the human eye is not really capable of seeing e.g. orange, which is why the whole RGB (and CMY) display technology works in the first place.
Yep. Red, green and blue are not divinely chosen as primary colors, they're based the peak sensitivities of human eyes. Human color vision is based on three different types of light sensitive cells, each with overlapping bell curves of sensitivity. A color within the human range will excite these different kinds of cells to different degrees. Yellow light will trigger red-sensitive and green-sensitive cells, basically decomposing the color. However, red light and green light will obviously also trigger the red-sensitive and green-sensitive cells, and the brain is incapable of telling the difference (other animals with different primary colors might, though).
Now the problem with this approach is that RGB display equipment usually works by emitting the primary colors side by side, as becomes apparent if one spills a drop of water on a screen (or use a magnifying glass). This results in some inherent color bleeding that this new technique will resolve.
It's hard to tell how significant the change is, at least for us humans, since all of our current full color display techniques are RGB based (with the possible exception of non-cmyk paints), but isn't it worth it just to let our dogs watch Lassie in their own color spectrum?
This is quite laughable. Both of these links have nothing to do with the fantasy that you are trying to propogate.

Yes, Stallman is a supporter of Wikipedia (see the article about "Wikipedia"). He mentioned it in his speech at the University of Bergen, Norway, and probably on a lot of other occations.
GNU started their own encyclopedia because Stallman thought it would be good to have a free one, even if it took 20 years to get it moderately complete. The speed of which Wikipedia developed blew his mind as much as the rest of us, and GNUpedia as it was called, stagnated. Stallman is the reason why Wikipedia uses the GFDL for all articles.
The usual UK rule is to preserve caps when you pronounce the letters: (B-B-C) but to use normal case when you pronounce it as syllables. Thus: Nasa, UN, Nato, snafu, UK.
Exactly, abbreviations and acronyms. An abbreviation is a short form for something, while an acronym is an abbreviation that is also a word (the ones pronounced as syllables), and thus written as one.
Sorry to disagree with you, but I've seen many pro-Microsoft (particular cases of course, or maybe just points of view) or anti-Linux rants get a +5 Insightful.

Many of them overlap. Take Bush supporters and Potty humour for instance.

It's not as straight forward as it sounds.

Most children are required to attend school. That includes those too poor to afford the one-off medical expense or insurance.
So school be voluntary, so those with parents too poor to afford the possible injuries could keep their kids out?

NOTHING is the first and will be the last. Your turn ...
My turn to what? Sounds like you agree.
Tripple-<i>: Why haven't you graduated to something modern?
He has. Repetedly.
Wheel - Which presumably replaced sleds and similar for land transportation
Fire - Mostly replaced by electric ovens for the average person
Fonts on graphical displays - Which replaced printed output and character grid terminals
Mice - Which replaced light pens (and has since been replaced by optical mice)
Silicon - Which replaced germanium, in transistors which replaced vacuum tubes
Bits - Which replaced higher base digits in early computers
Electricity - Which replaced steam and hand power in [then mechanical] computers.
Computer instructions - Which are replaced or at least modified for every new generation of processor
So none of the things you mentioned are the first, and none will be the last.
