True. I didn't do a runs test. The test I used doesn't care how many times in a row you throw a given die, it merely counts the number of 1s, 2s, etc thrown and compares the distribution to that of a perfectly fair die.
The test I used checks if the distribution of results is near to that of a completely fair die. My die was a bit off, but not terribly so. It could have turned up 60 6s, but that would be a chi^2 of 300, p-value of 1.002x10^-62. It is very, very unlikely that a fair die would be that biased.
Oh, I know. There are better tests for randomness. I could be more thorough. Sometime I'll bother, with things like DFTs, larger samples, etc, but for a quick slashdot post it didn't seem worth the effort.
Just tried picking 60 numbers from 1-6:
1s:13
2s:10
3s:9
4s:8
5s:12
6s:8
Chi^2=2.2
Rather good, actually. p-value 0.821
And rolling a 6-sided die 60 times:
1s:11
2s:17
3s:8
4s:9
5s:6
6s:9
Chi^2=7.2
I think I have a biased die, but p-value of 0.206 isn't enough to be sure...
And using random.org's 6-sided die rng 60 times:
1s:11
2s:5
3s:10
4s:11
5s:11
6s:12
Chi^2=3.2
p-value 0.669.
So I did better than random.org. Anecdote, data, etc, etc.

Huh? The toolbox should be visible at the same time as the image I am working on (so I can, you know, change tools), and should not cover the image (so I can change the image with the tools). Putting the image on a different virtual desktop from the tools doesn't seem to be a good idea, and other uses just seperate GIMP from other programs.
And what, exactly, about bypassing a broken WGA is a violation of their copyright? Sure, it can be used as such, but if that's your reasoning we should ban all CD-burning software.
Not really talking about pornography, but it sure contains some...
Judges 19:22-29 (King James Version)
22 Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
23 And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
25 But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
28 And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
29 And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
Or, say, pretty much the entire Song of Solomon. Or many, many other things which would be considered vulgar and obscene by many current communities. We really should ban the bible if we're banning simple porn.
Most porn sites make you "confirm" that you are over the age of consent and legally allowed to access the content they serve. While they don't check it still means they have a reason to believe that the person accessing the site was allowed to. This should be the resident's responsibility, not the site's.
No, it's just an oft-ignored problem. Some cryptosystems require the use of multiple keys to decrypt the data, thus needing the capture and torture of multiple victims.
The Constitution of the United States, Article III, Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
"But no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood..." no, we shouldn't punish his family. Just him.
Treason has never been "death only". It has always been up to Congress to declare the punishment for Treason. Read Article III, Section 3 of the constitution sometime.

Treason

The Congress shall have the power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person Attained.
He gave aid to the enemy. Did they have two witnesses to the same overt act? Has he confessed? If no to both, no treason. Also, the death penalty must be requested by Congress. They can chose to make it less, say, 15 years in prison.
Not always. The extra time could get shorter and shorter for each estimate, and therefore limit to a finite value. Only when you compute the limit does the finite value change more, forcing you to compute a new limit. Thus, avoid computing the actual limit, just get rather close.
You know, GP was saying that the Scotty principle is different. Thus the word "Nah" starting his sentence. I've heard the stated "double + move up a time unit" method referred to as "Murphy's law of time estimates" but I don't think Murphy had anything to do with it.
Single window can let you hide controls you aren't using too. That should be totally independent of single/multi-window status. (Example: In Firefox, right now, I have hidden all the buttons (Forward/Back/Home/Refresh/etc), moved the address bar and search bar to the top menu bar, and placed extra functions in an all-in-one-sidebar sidebar, and then hidden that except for a "grippy." And, amazingly, it's a single-window interface, with only the controls I need open and maximum screen real-estate for the web-page I'm reading.
I like using GIMP's image window fullscreen. Mostly because I work on large images, so I like to be able to see as much of the image as possible. Zooming and panning constantly is a waste. The separate-windows model GIMP currently has means that I have to carefully size the window to not be full-screen, but a little bit smaller & carefully position the windows to the sides. Only then can I see both the image and the tools. That is moronic. Not everyone is editing 640x480 images on a 1600x1200 screen. The GIMP classic model breaks down as image size increases, no matter how good it is for lots of tiny things.
That and the admins do delete reported kiddy porn, and try to ban the posters. Sadly, most of the posters are bots & just link to viruses that infect your PC with the same bot, so the bans tend to be ineffective.

It's in orbit of earth. It's not going anywhere near the sun, at least not much nearer than earth.

I know. That's why I said "should", not "makes it". This law basically says that there is no such thing as jurisdiction.

The problem with always on top is then your toolbox/layer windows cover the work area.
I agree on Amarok. I found Gmusicbrowser, and it's quite good.
No, it's just an oft-ignored problem. Some cryptosystems require the use of multiple keys to decrypt the data, thus needing the capture and torture of multiple victims.
More correctly, it helps find what you want, but you still need the physical access to get the key.
In Old West Norse, "brand" is sword. Also appropriate: buy windows or have your search system die...
