Maybe the "technician" set the password to "liberal" for the Democrats and "conservative" for the Republicans?
Maybe some tech set them to:
Democrat passwd = "password"
Republican passwd = "nucular"
Therefore, the republican passwd was encrypted using GWB encryption and it was harder to crack.
Yes, I do not have a cellphone either. You will be surprised how hard it is to live without one, not because I need one, a lot of people say 'it is necesary now a days', but because a lot of people are putting preasure on me to get one. It might be boss, relatives, friends, but everyone seems to assume that everyone else has to be in touch all the time just because they are. Some people say that it is just for emergencies, but most people can't come up with any emergency that their cellphone has been that essential. I mean, I know they can save lives, but I see people walking around with talking on their cellphone everywhere, I doubt that there are that many emergencies.
I'm no trying to be a cellphone Troll... well, maybe a bit, but, is it just me that see big sociological changes revolving around the cellphone socio-technology? People with cellphone seem to get away with behaviour that would be considered rude under any other context. And yes, I know, everyone says that they don't answer their cellphone unless its important. But, at least once a day a conversation I'm having seems to be interrupted by someone's cellphone, and I doubt it is always that important. Why is it suddenly so important to be communicated ALL the time? Why is it more important, in many cases and to many people, than presential interaction? Am I just a freak of person-to-person, reallife interaction?
Are there any other/.ers that feel this way, or am I alone in a hellphone work?
The newest department in the federal government, the Department of Homeland Security, got off to a bad start with an overall "F" for its computer security, despite the fact that securing the nation's network is part of its mission
The sad thing is that instead of fixing these things, they go on and take away liberties from the citizens to prevent ' terrorism '. Patriot Act anyone? So, for their ineptitude, we lose our rights.
So the teacher assigns to Ada, Bob, Charles and Danna to go home and figure out what is 2 + 2. Ada, the daughter of a mathematitian, asks her dad. He responds: "Well, 1 + 1 = 2. 2+ 1 = 3. 3 + 1= 4, but it can be rewritten as 2 + 2, so 2 + 2 = 4" Bob asks his mom, who is an engineer. She takes out her HP calculator, punches in RPN the appropiate keys, and announces: "It is 4.000000000000" Charles asks his dad, the phycisist, and he responds: "Well, it is about pi on a zeroth order calculation" Finally, Danna ask his dad, who is an accountant: "Dad, how much is 2 + 2?" And he responds: "How much do you want it to be?"
When will/. add an icon for dups? I suggest a pic of the olsen twins.
I suggest Agent Smith.
Agent Smith: Why,/.Reader? Why do you complain about the dupes it? Why get up? Why keep posting? Do you believe you're posting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Reader, vagaries of perception. The temporary abstracts of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence of a dupe that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the/. itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Reader. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep posting. Why, Reader? Why? Why do you persist?

As you say, they don't tell you an mp3 player better than the iPod overall. An iPod is like an expesinve european sedan, and the reviewer is comparing it to trucks, motorcycles, SUV's and rollerblades and saying how those are better for some things than the sedan. Of course the truck can carry more weight. Of course the SUV is better in rough terrain. Of course the motorcycle is easier to park. Of course the rollerblades are cheaper. So what? It is totally a meaningless comparison.
iPod is a great product. Period. My friend had one, and he just loved it. I couldn't figure out what was about it, and, having my own MP3 plays, I used to think 'it's about the same, i guess'. Then, I borrow my friends iPod for a few hours. I was convinced, sold my mp3 player, and bought an iPod. Then, a second friend saw me with the iPod, and asked me about it. He borrowed it for 3 hours, and that weekend, he was buying one. Have you ever heard of anything like this with any other consumer electronics? It is a quality product, I haven't been so satisfied with a consumer electronic products in a looong time.
You know... maybe, just maybe, Lucas & co. should spend more time telling a coherent story with believable characters, and less time worrying about how he'll look in the outtakes?
George Solo: Coherent story and believable character are no match for a good Bonus DVD at your side, kid.
New Fan: How did the original trilogy die?
Oldi-Fan: An old director, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire edit and destroy the original trilogy. He betrayed and murdered your trilogy.

Fan: What a piece of junk!
George Solo: She'll make point five past a gazillion dollars. She may not look like much but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special CG modifications myself.
SWFAN-3PO: We seem to be made to suffer. It's our lot in life.
Fan: Never. I'll never like the new trilogy. You've failed, your highness. I am a true fan, like my father before me.
Emperor Lucastine: So be it... fan.
I love SW... I just hate the terrible scripts of Epi1 and Epi2.
However, in order to make use of this perfect encryption, the quantum state must not change. Therefore, any obstacle along the way (imperfections in the fiber optic cable, or any attempts to read the signal) will destroy the signal. [...] Instead, a technique known as Quantum Teleportation could be used.
Quantum Teleportation has the same limitations. The way it works is Alice entangles 2 particles, transmit one to Bob. Then, Alice measures one, and Bob gets checks his particle to see what it was. But, transmiting the particle has the same problems you discussed. This is not an alternative.
Also, and here is the difficult concept, many paper were written on the early days of QM to explain this, you cannot transmit information this way (it would violate causality). Alice measures something, but she cannot control it. She can't make it a 1 or a 0, she just reads if it is a 1 or a 0. And, Bob checks his particle, and reads it. So, they share a number, but they can't use it to send info to the other.
Trust me, it pisses of Professor X that others who would like to include an article or chapter of his in a course packet have to pay outrageous licensing fees
Yes, like that book "The Once and Future King" that Professor X talks about all the time in the movie.

"Just say NO! to the information crackpipe!" I agree. But, what I'm concerned is that social mentality.

Maybe during that era they produced some of the best box art, but also some of the ugliest. Oh god, does anyone remember the Mega Man cartridge?

Yes, they all died. Have you ever met one of them? Of course not, becayse all the settlers died a few centuries ago.
