"If you are under the age of eighteen (18), or under any other applicable age of majority, you represent that at least one of your parents or legal guardians has also agreed to this provision (and the use of your name, likeness, username, and/or photos (along with any associated metadata)) on your behalf."
Conveniently a minor (under the age of eighteen) can't legally agree to such terms, and can't legally make such a representation.
Oh, I know, my motherboard has such settings. Depending on how extreme an overclock I set I will eventually get errors in stress tests, even when the computer appears to operate fine otherwise. The built-in overclock system is still running the processor outside its stated limits, and isn't guaranteed to provide a stable system. No overclock ever is. That's why it's always a good idea to stress-test after overclocking, and if the test fails decrease the overclock until it passes.
In addition, the entire database of SSNs should be published as public information. A reasonable time (say, ten years) until that date should be allowed to let businesses update their systems and people to understand that the SSN is an identifier only.
A rifle has a rifled barrel and fires ammunition with a larger cartridge than a pistol. An assault rifle has select fire (fully automatic self-loading) capability and a somewhat shorter barrel than a hunting or sniper rifle, but longer than a carbine. A semi-automatic gun fires a single round for each pull of the trigger, and uses a magazine or clip instead of a revolver system. A "semi-automatic assault rifle" is a contradiction in terms, and makes about as much sense as a horseless racehorse.
Cox is one of the larger US cable ISPs. This is certainly regional to the US, but not exactly a minor detail. Also, you may want to check on that 60 billion years. That's a bit longer (over 45 billion years) than the age of the universe. You want "million".
Well, in the case of the high end 'scopes it tends to be because most of the cost is in the initial engineering, and very little in the hardware. Many companies start small and need more features later on, and it's wasteful to replace all the physical equipment to upgrade. So the 'scope companies just sell the high-end hardware at lower prices and put in firmware limits, allowing for an easy planned upgrade path.
I've used Launchy for years, it's a quick search/start bar for applications similar to KDE's Alt+F2 bar. I still use the start menu (and the Kickoff launcher) to find things that are oddly named. The start screen makes that second task harder. It also arguably makes the first task harder, since the Windows 7 start search can be accessed keyboard only without taking one's eyes off the main screen, while the new start screen's search can't.
SHA-512 will still be quite fast. Even SHA-3 will be quick. A general purpose hash function is designed to be quick, a password hashing function (like bcrypt, scrypt, or PBKDF2) is designed to be slow.
I think stability is very important, finding system instabilities is often an easy way to find security exploits. Also, if the system crashes it's essentially a DOS attack, whether or not the attacking entity is a human or random chance.
And there already is a niche OS that makes all of its trade-offs in favor of security, it's called OpenBSD. It's BSD licensed, so could be a good starting point for an industrial control OS focused on security and stability.
Yes. The thermocouples powering voyager (the T part of RTG) are degrading, and currently only producing about half their original output. A stirling engine can be made very reliable, more so than a thermocouble.
You missed the step of "Register a corporation, register that as an ISP with the relevant regulator, and use THAT to run the exit node." Then comply with all laws relevant for running an ISP. Keep your personal and corporate assets legally separate. It may even be possible to register the corporation as a charity dedicated to running the exit node, thereby allowing one to write off the expenses of running it. Consult a tax lawyer before you try that though.
It's not that hard to maintain an LLC and have it own the equipment. Keep the server at a colo facility and use the LLC for all transactions regarding it.
It's safe for Americans to run TOR exit nodes with regards to copyrighted content being transmitted over them. The DMCA doesn't govern child pornography liability.
Limited supply should go in the disadvantages column. You also forgot that its lifetime is limited by the security of the underlying cryptographic hash function. That's not expected to be very long, I'd be surprised if SHA-2 isn't broken (preimage attacks) in the next 50 years.
One other thing that's important: Bitcoin assumes the security of SHA-2. When that is broken it will become vastly easier to attack the system than to participate legitimately. Hash functions seem to have a 20-30 year lifetime before significant attacks start to matter (accounting for time to transition away to a newer function.) This essentially means that bitcoins will need to swap to an entirely different scheme every few decades.

And they're all bullshit. Entanglement can't transmit information, that's one of the fundamental properties of entangled systems!
It's the .lit to epub converter's name. http://www.convertlit.com/
Really, the executable is "clit".

Unless you're trying to overclock.
Admittedly that's a small percentage of the populace, even among people who build their own systems.

It's still very, very common in high-end oscilloscopes and such. Pay, load a new firmware, new features unlock in hardware.
No. Never give them a chance to escape, no matter how satisfying it would be to prolong things.
Add Wikileaks to adblock and be done with it if you work for such an organization. Don't ask the rest of the world to censor itself for you.
The size of the fee isn't the issue, the GPL violation is the issue. It's up to the DOSBox developers to decide what (if anything) to do about it.
FYI, DOSBox is GPLed, and both apps in question are ports of DOSBox to Android.
I very much agree with this.

You're also out of luck if the government decides to mortar all unauthorized transmitters.
CIS HAS a game mode. Right-click the tray icon, check game mode. It's my favorite free AV/firewall for Windows as well, it's a well-made product.
