No. Science fiction is when the science works. At least in theory. It is the genre of the what could actually happen.
'The Hulk', and most 'Science Fiction' movies are in a different category altogether: Fantasy. That is the genre where anything is possible, no matter what. It is a total escape from reality.
Isn't that entrapment? Do you have to be a law enforcement agency to entrap? If it's not entrapment, could it be considered extortion? Since they sold me the license, are they an accessory to the crime? If we are guilty, arent they too?
P.S.: I'd propose that the GPL rule that a change must be tagged with the name of the person who changes (or adds) a file is enforced - atealloc.c is only tagged with "SGI", thus I don't know who should be shot for writing that.
And now we know! Unfortuantly, they are shooting themslves...
From a quick look I'd guess the symbol section is irrelevent, and was put in symbol to keep people from accidentally reading it. (Or just to help them ignore it.) The important parts are in regular english.
Almost without question, he obtained the email list while still an employee. Such information is proprietary, and indeed he probably signed some type of NDA when he was hired or quit. Theft of the email list was certainly illegal.
Then prosocute him for that. This case shouldn't have any merit.
I don't think it can be argued that he did the best thing in his case, but... What he did should be legal. He told people about a potential problem with a service they were using by using a public forum. If they had attacked him on spamming, I would at least be sympathetic, but all they have said (at least according to the article, which may well be biased) is that by telling their customers about a problem he breached the security of the network.
He didn't breach the security of the network. He tried to inform the people who could fix it, they did nothing. He then informed the people affected. He didn't do it in a nice way, but it needs to be legal.
Nah, we've played that one. The new one is 'Insurgency'. Same rules really, and same winning move, but sometimes your hand is forced and you must play, whether you like it or not. And sometimes it just seems like your hand is forced...

There is one other as well: the PCI slots are standard PCI, not PCI-X like the rest.
Then of course the bus is incrementally slower, and so on. Standard stuff really.
Chance has no way of knowing that there were three doors just a minute before, and that fact is completely irrelevant to the problem posed.
False. Chance, in this case, is controlled by the game show host. He does know there are three doors, and which one has the prize.
That said, the 1/3-2/3 thing is only applicable if two things are true: That the host must open a door, and that the door must be empty. If those are not true (which they weren't in the original show) then the whole analysis flys out the window.
Ok, first: Malaria is spread by mosquitos. Second: All diseases (except maybe cancer, and not counting genetic defects) are preventable, in theory. That does not mean we should not try to figure out how to treat them. Educate what you can to minimize risk, and deal with the fact that a riskless existance is way to close to death for most people.
But diamonds aren't actually that *strong*. They are very *hard*, yes, but not strong. It doesn't take much to chip one, especially if you hit it along the cleave plane...
Others have noted that stregth of moissonte is very good, but I don't actually know about the strength. Probably similar to diamond.

Luster is a function of the cut (or shape) of the gem and its refract index. A diamond has a refract index of around 2.42, while moissanite has a refract index 2.67.
The difference can be shown fairly easily in a ray-tracing program: just build a model in a jewel cut and set it to have varying refract indices, rendering for each one. Be aware that you'll have to set the 'number of bounces' as high as you can get it to see the full effect...
My little research on the topic says which is 'better' depends on lighting (moissanite is slightly colored, which shows in certain lights) and taste.
No, it makes then want to have them (that is: generate them), assuming they get some of the payment for the ideas they generate.
But it does make people not want to *get* ideas. If I have to pay for an idea (especially if I don't know if it works) then I'm much more likely to rely on myself for ideas, instead of using tested ideas of others.
In other words: paying for ideas generates lots of mediocre similar ideas, whereas free ideas promotes the spread of the best idea.
Really? Maybe you just can't prove you are good at what you do. I've been in that situation: No job, no job history, and no job prospects because you have no job history.

Acutally, hydrogen is not explosive, it just burns really really fast. (I believe it actually looses volume.)

No, you plug it in slowly and run away. Quickly.

And involving the government would have solved any of this how?

I said preventable, in theory. I am not a doctor. Actuality is of course different, which is the point I was trying (and obviously failing) to make.
Depends on whether or not you know where to aim...
