No, he meant "ass", which in some parts of the world does mean the region of the body where the gluteus maximus muscles are located. The possible fact that in your own region it may not mean that, does not provide you with license to assume someone has misused a word.
I don't feel superior when non-American people occasionally write "lift" where I would have written "elevator". Nor should you consider me to be obscene when I talk about Fannie Mae, the popular name for the US agency that provides housing loans to many people.

Perhaps you don't have to have everyone in the VPN; you just have to have enough VPN endpoints scattered around the world so that the Feds can't guess where your traffic is going to emerge. Your packet travels encrypted from your house to Colorado, emerges onto the public internet, and travels to the ordinary VOIP user. Tomorrow you use a different friend in Sweden. If your friend is afraid of being tapped, he can join your VPN; but if you just want to encrypt your call to Domino's so the police won't know when your pizza is coming, no need.

Second this motion. It's a damn good remote for my situation: Nice heavy feel, buttons that light up, all buttons (almost) learnable or macroable [my beef: you can't learn the "exit" button because the "exit" button exits the learning process!]. There's a strange "My system" feature that sort of makes a composite device, where (say) the channel buttons control the cable box, the volume buttons control the TV, the play/pause/ff/rew buttons control the DVD... or whatever. Nice idea, but too many of my devices do similar things...
Perhaps the reason the idiot phrase "star that exploded" was included was because the word "asteroid" derives from the greek for "starlike" and the editor knows more about languages than astronomy. A shame.
Far from it. The first text adventure game arose as an homage to Mammoth Cave, KY. For years it was merely a description of the caves. There is only one character. There is damn near no dialogue. There is no "combat" as RPGs think of it. It's half about the puzzles, and half about the incredible descriptions.
People may have been playing various forms of RPGs for centuries; but other people have been ignoring RPGs for centuries because they are boring.
Still, I won't pay for any music until I can burn it to CD in MP3 or Ogg format. My car has an MP3 player and changing CDs every hour or so has become as objectionable to me as following the speed limit.
Any reason [technical; i'm aware it's probably against the license] you cannot burn it to a CD-RW as an audio CD, then rip the CD-RW as MP3 or Ogg? Maybe even use a virtual CD device as the intermediate step?
None of the "commons"-es that humanity has discovered or created has ever lasted. Food became property. Land became property. Ideas became property. Minerals became property. Can't drive without a driver's license, can't drink without ID, can't brew beer without a license, can't build a house without permits, can't even own a goddamn PET without paying some government or other for the privilege. Pretty soon they're going to DRM the nighttime sky.

Despite being an AC, the person is precisely right. Gerrold's wonderful book is the first thing I thought of when reading the original article. Twenty years ago indeed! The virus/worm concept was probably thought of a couple of weeks after ENIAC.
Thank you for confirming my understanding so far. (Somebody please mod that AC up as informative.) But the question remains: does the angular momentum carried by the photons affect the energy? I mean, they're talking about stuffing bits into this; anything that carries information usually requires energy.
By the way, there is a lot of new work in gravitational lensing. The Hubble has discovered a couple dozen definite lenses; some of them even show some distant objects that are not conventionally visible.
As the other poster said, you can have L = +1, +2, +3,..., -1, -2, -3... to any value. Which makes me wonder though, does a high L mean the photon carries more energy?
I have a sneaking suspicion that it means they will only hire someone who is Quebecois and also fluent in English. I.e. if you happen to not be from Quebec, it doesn't matter how goddamn good your French is, you won't be hired.
I have no proof of course, just my own prejudices.

Maybe if you changed advent of big government to read purchase of government by big business I could agree with you.

Doesn't explain why Replay's telephone CSRs answered that the 3 year deal was valid for SEVERAL DAYS.

Legal to own; illegal to use to steal cable service. Much like a handgun is legal to own, but illegal to use to kill people.

I think you miss the point...
Nope.
I was referring to the fact that the outside region of the universe would have to travel at speeds in excess of c (speed of light)
Yep. Please read up on inflation. Inflation hinges entirely on the idea that the universe expanded far far faster than c during the inflation phase.
