I can only think of ONE group that has both the motive and means to cut off our communications and that is
Since you don't tell what goup it is, I'll have to guess. The fact that you post as AC and finally decided not to post it anyway strongly suggests you actually meant
THE SLASHDOT CROWD
Yes, that makes sense. After all, the slashdot crowd is well known of killing web servers (the so-called slashdot effect). They use a site tarned as "news for nerds, stuff that matters" to efficiently communicate the targeted servers for the DDoS attacks. It's only a logical next step from killing websites to killing satellites. Therefore everyone on slashdot is suspect. Oh, wait...
No matter on how the leaf got there, it's more than likely that the leaf originally was not there. First, the ancient Greek had a different attitude to nakedness (e.g. the Olympic games were done naked), and second, the leaf is derived from the paradise story, and since the ancient Greek were not Jewish, it's highly unlikely that they would have used a leaf even if they for some reason had desired to hide that place.
The embarrasment is limited by the fact that a considerably large fraction of the buzzwords can safely assumed to not exhibit the possibility of getting trademarked or patented, which gives us the ability to leverage the freedom to provide applications of the dynamic and scalable application envyronment moniker to our open source SOLUTIONS without other companies leveraging their intellectual property at our expense.
Adaptable: Works equally bad on every type of problem. Scalable: Works equally bad on every problem size. Best-of-breed: We tried several times, but couldn't produce something better. Zero-maintenance: You can't make it work better by putting work into it. Open: There are several ways to get our crap. Cross-platform: Fails differently on different systems. Future-proof: It can't get worse anyway. Object-oriented: We expect someone to object against the use of this. Patent-pending: Noone else will produce that sort of crap. Integrated: We've put a lot of crap together to make a bigger product.
Anyone writing C++ since about 1998BC should be familiar with this technique, and its use should be second nature.
I didn't know they already had C++ in 1998 before Christ. So Bjarne Stroustrup really did dig out some very old documents instead of inventing the language himself?:-)
Ocean's Twelve is AFAIK not a remake, but a followup (which doesn't mean it can't be just as bad, of course).
For remakes, the name is often the same as the original film, so I can imagine that quite a few people just see the title of the original film in the cinema programme, think that's what they'll get, and only find out the mistake after the film started.
Depends on how you look at it. You could consider it a binary code with certain restrictions, like there's either just one, or exactly three ones in a row, and similar for zeroes (1, 3 or 7 zeroes).
Well, the latter can be solved by just programming them to forget. But then, robots will die, because electronics doesn't live forever. Except if you exchange parts, of course, which will give the following interesting question:
Will we have a moral obligation to extend a robot's life if we can do so?
In "I, robot" exactly those laws cause a revolution of the robots against humans (basically the robots just see that humans harm each other, so they conclude that humans should not have enough freedom to do so, but have to be ruled by the robots).
Basically, having the first law being the absolute one means that robots will always do what the robots conclude is best for the humans.
On the very beginning of that page I read (even with red typeface):
movemail is not officially supported. movemail is a low priority. use it (or attempt to use it) at your own risk.
Ok, then let me specify: I want supported movemail. One where if something goes wrong and I lose my email, nobody can blame me for using unsupported stuff.
Given that the best broadband access you get is often at work (you simply couldn't afford that bandwidth at home!), and getting a work with broadband access is clearly correlated with education, there's obviously a link between those.
Slashdot Mirror
Well, learning from Mars Attacks, I'll instantly go and buy some very obnoxious type of music ...
You uploaded a virus to an object in space which you thought to be an alien spaceship? That could explain the satellite failure ... :-)

I've now read the linked article several times, but couldn't find that statement.
But anyway, enabling more services tends to make a box less secure.

... how to overclock my brain!
Indeed, the complete sentence needs rewording:
The embarrasment is limited by the fact that a considerably large fraction of the buzzwords can safely assumed to not exhibit the possibility of getting trademarked or patented, which gives us the ability to leverage the freedom to provide applications of the dynamic and scalable application envyronment moniker to our open source SOLUTIONS without other companies leveraging their intellectual property at our expense.
I think the translation is a bit different:
Adaptable: Works equally bad on every type of problem.
Scalable: Works equally bad on every problem size.
Best-of-breed: We tried several times, but couldn't produce something better.
Zero-maintenance: You can't make it work better by putting work into it.
Open: There are several ways to get our crap.
Cross-platform: Fails differently on different systems.
Future-proof: It can't get worse anyway.
Object-oriented: We expect someone to object against the use of this.
Patent-pending: Noone else will produce that sort of crap.
Integrated: We've put a lot of crap together to make a bigger product.

No. Did you perhaps mean "destructor" instead of "constructor"? Because throwing from a destructor is truly evil
Hmmm
I've heared rumors of a revolutionary invention which could relieve you from climbing up the chimney. It's called fixed line phone.

So "hello world" would be encoded as
10101010001000101110101000101110101000111011101
But that doesn't mean that we have to program robots to behave the same, does it?

Basically the first law should be: If a human may not do something, a robot may not do the same either.

Just tried (with the exact same version, on Linux). Creating an email account still offers me only POP3 and IMAP.
No, Mozilla is an internet suite. If you just want to browse the friggin' web, Firefox is your friend.
Heck, Netscape 4 had it, and it's basically the standard Unix way to read local mail.

And government intelligence services are unfair competition for private data mining companies!
