The IDs have a picture of you. Unless it's the ID of your dead twin, you'll probably not be able to claim it was you who's on that picture. That is, you'd have to counterfeit the ID.
No, they are speaking about amounts of juice, so the proper unit would be liter/second (or gallons/second for you Americans). So how much juice would you need? Well, they didn't say what type of juice they would need, so I just assumed apple juice. I've found this table [German], which tells me that 0.2 liters of apple juice with sugar has 175 kJ. That is, we have an energy of 875 kJ/l. Now a 100 W lightbulb needs 0.1 kJ/s, therefore to power a 100 W lightbulb, we need about 10 liters per day.
Well, the difference between gravitation and electromagnetism causing the former to dominate the large-scale structures of the universe is that electric charges of the same sign repell each other, while those of opposite sign attract each other. Therefore bodies tend to get electrically neutral. In gravity OTOH equal masses attract each other (indeed, there probably isn't negative mass at all), which means there's no neutralization. Indeed, by attracting more mass, gravity even increases.
Well, the word "supercomputer" has 13 characters. 14, if you count the terminating '\0'. The supercomputer was running for 3 years. Now 3*14=42. That should explain it.:-)
At first I thought this qualified as a good ISP. Then I went to their homepage and my eyes were assaulted by the terrible color schemes, and now I'm blind > See? They helped you to get back from the evil GUI, which is hard to use when blind, to the good command line, which is of course easily used even when blind with the help of a braille display. Granted, you'll have to learn braille first, but then, learning something new is always good, and therefore forcing you to learn something is doing something good to you, too.
See, they already did lots of good things to you, despite you not yet being their customer. They must be a good ISP!
Do you understand that without the redirection, you wouldn't even get to a web server which could then display different content (or show otherwise different behaviour) depending on your browser?
Is that really so? The only definition of average I know of is the quotient of the sum of values and their count. Which certainly is a number, not an interval (unless you're using interval arithmetics, of course:-)).
They should watch it as the people who created intended it, first and foremost.
So I don't have a right to decide what I want to see, but only the content creator has?
I agree that I should be able to see it the way the creator intended it. But if for some strange reason I decide I want to see a movie with every first word of a sentence removed, I don't see why I shouldn't be allowed to. And if someone provides me the service to do the tedious work of removing all those first words, then why should they not get payed for their work.
Am I also not allowed to e.g. add some salt to an ordered Pizza if I consider it to have too little of it, because I'm not tasting it the way the creators intended?
When drawing a large, but finite sample (and you won't deny that there are only finitely many people, will you?) from any non-trivial symmetric random distribution, the probability that the average of the sample is exactly its median is negligible, and it will be with equal probability at both sides. So assuming that the probability of having an above average IQ is as large as the probability of having a below average IQ, there is indeed a 50% chance that more than 50% of all people (that is, the majority) has an intelligence above average.
You see, your bell-curve argument doesn't save you from the wrongness of your assertion.
Combine the question in the post I answered to, "What makes you Think I've never been in Hans' position?", with the fact that having an allegedly dead wive is exactly the position Hans Reiser currently is in.

You don't need the fan if the CPU isn't hot, so it's a good thing if it stops then.
Well, in Germany you certainly cannot have a valid ID with such an old picture.
The IDs have a picture of you. Unless it's the ID of your dead twin, you'll probably not be able to claim it was you who's on that picture. That is, you'd have to counterfeit the ID.
Well, I think they do have a procedure for it. It's just that having a procedure for something doesn't imply that the procedure works.
You'll learn that
1. Change light bulb
2. ???
3. Profit!
Also, they'll want to know if the light bulb runs Linux, and ask you to imagine a Beowulf cluster of them.
Extremely lossy compression. :-)

But without theory, you wouldn't know if what you just measured is a "heureka" or not!

Do you understand that without the redirection, you wouldn't even get to a web server which could then display different content (or show otherwise different behaviour) depending on your browser?
Well, the DNS server certainly knows your IP address, and the ISP certainly knows which IP currently belongs to you.
Of course they could also just give you a different DNS server depending on if you opted out or not.
If you remove the http:/// (the second one, of course), it's much funnier.

No, he isn't. He didn't say that religion makes for a better world, he said that lack of religion doesn't make for a better world.
