No, no, we want the ability to run the applications we want on the devices we own. If that happens to be flash on an iPhone, then Apple should not be able to say "no." We also want flash to be eliminated, because it's a bloated, slow piece of garbage with more security flaws than a mouse prison made of swiss cheese.
Because that's a false statement (more people can't die than the total number of people born, as those who are not born can't die, due to not existing in the first place), and you're begging the question.
All the US pre-paid phone carriers have time limits on the use. If you add more money before the time expires you get to keep the old money, otherwise your account gets closed and you have to re-activate the phone. (True for Tracfone, Net10, AT&T Gophone, Boost, Virgin, and T-mobile pre-paid that I've seen.)
Jackson Pollock's "no 5, 1948" sold for $140,000,000. About $151 million in 2010 dollars. It just sits there, and does nothing. It's not even a picture of anything. The idea that spending real money on something that does absolutely nothing is bad means all art should be eliminated. After all, it does nothing, and why waste time on things that are of no value?
The whole idea that non-functional things are inherently valueless is a farce.
If it were just to replace sugar, that would be better. It's used in places sugar should never be used, to make things needlessly sweet. I recently saw a canned "New England Clam Chowder" with HFCS added. Clam chowder does not need sugar. It needs clams, water, salt, pork, onion, potatoes, butter, some seasonings and possibly other vegetables.
Back in high school one of my friends had a cat named "Anubis" ("Nubie", pronounced newbie for short). 'Nubie liked playing fetch, with paper. When my friend asked Nubie to fetch paper, Nubie would (if in the mood, this IS a cat...) go to the printer, grab a sheet of paper, do a reasonable job crumpling it up, and bring it to my friend. Then they'd play.
I also saw the cat jump up to a door handle, turn the lock, turn the handle, and kick off the frame, holding the handle, to open the locked door.
I, too had a cat. She was a total moron. Ran into walls, didn't understand that the litter box wasn't for sitting in, and barely managed to grasp the concept that food goes into the mouth, not into the water bowl. If she had been human I would have tried to get her to run for congress.
If I ask you to give me a copy of your recording of a hockey game, and you give it to me, you can't later claim that it was unauthorized because I shouldn't have known where your apartment was to go ask you. I never entered your apartment, there is no trespass.
Most Bruce Lee films do this. The fights are just videos of him acting out a fight. Most other martial arts films/shows love to flip from viewpoint to viewpoint for every technique, so you can't tell what's going on. As a martial artist you can actually learn some nice techniques from watching Lee that you can't from other films. Frenetic short takes just hide the action.
I agree. Learn languages from each major type: imperative, object oriented, functional. Say, C, Java, Haskell. If you can think in all three ways you can adapt to a new language more quickly. You'll also know what style you like best. Specific skills are needed, but you can't be a good coder until you have the general skills. You don't become a brain surgeon without getting an MD and being a surgeon first.
I have some rather important passwords and private encryption keys (for my GPG certs, banking, etc) stored in keepass. I have a 40 character random password, from the set of all ASCII printable characters. Took about a month to memorize it, using it every day. It has 262.18 bits of entropy, thus ensuring that anyone trying to brute force the password may as well just brute force the encryption key to the file itself.
This is paranoid overkill. On the other hand I know my password isn't going to be the weak link in my security.
You'd need a capacitor (or bank of capacitors) that can be charged over 24 hours, and can discharge about a megawatt. Not that cheap, but not terribly expensive either.
Yep, just like water. Why a few months ago I crossed the raging waters of the Colorado river.

The English plural of Virus is Viruses. The likely Latin plural (nominative) is Vira. Virii is nonsense, in either language. Even if Virus were 2nd declension masculine it would be viri, not virii.

Also, they deployed 12 prototypes. It costs a lot more per unit to do a production run of 12 than it does to do a production run of 12,500.
Insert the interesting number paradox here.

"They are probably the most intelligent non-human animal you will encounter outside a zoo in the US."
My friend's Harris' hawks (She's a master class falconer) would disagree with that. As would several parrots I've known.

Aaah, but churches also float. We can have the ducks pull the churches.

I still haven't completed a pacifist foodless ascension in SLASH'EM. But that's mostly fun because it's extremely hard.
Actually, Schrodinger came up with that to show that the whole thing was ridiculous. Instead it is accepted as The Way Things Are.

Sadly only SLASH'EM works for that.

And the Perseids. Not cleared, Earth keeps running into the things.
Or Haskell.

RadioShack Cat# 63.338 $10. Probably in most Radio Shacks. I don't know of anything more likely to be local to most of the US.
The batteries are heavy. Swapping them out is not practical without a powered winch/crane and such.

The "dark days" as USB1 to a palm pilot! When I had mine I was happy to have 20kbps RS232 (Palm M100.)
I spilled a drink into one. Conductive pen to the damaged traces fixed it up nicely.
