Even John Ashcroft knows that Uzis are made by the Jews, and no self-respecting Islamic extremist would touch the Uzi when there's half a dozen AK-47s sitting right there.

In other news, sources close to the project reveal that their lead for locating the lost city of Atlantis was provided to them by insiders at the NID, a US civilian agency which monitors top-secret military and intelligence projects. Those sources also revealed their apprehension that the US president would appropriate the site and assign its exploration to an elite team of Air Force operatives who have been exploring other worlds during the past seven seasons and one feature film.
Just because building a from-scratch version of one thing (such as a car) is prohibitively difficult doesn't mean that everything that isn't storebought should be illegal.
I mean, writing your own OS is no walk in the park, but that's been done, and the software is freely available (and is evidently being used by 2M people right now).
One of the biggest problems in developing a gecko- or spider-inspired adhesive is that the hairs on the feet of the gecko (and likely the spider as well) have lots of regular branching that are very difficult to fabricate non-biologically. The branching structure increases the surface area of the keratin by some very large factor, which increases the adhesion of the material.
This means that, before this stuff can be produced as an ultra-strong adhesive, we will need to understand - and replicate/emulate - the biological process by which the hairs are produced.

...Not to mention the tremendous financial gains you will make just from living somewhere with a lower cost of living. For example, I pay (an admittedly low-side) $600 per month for a 2-br apartment in Cleveland. I'm not even in the hood, either. In some places (urban/suburban areas in less-populated states, for example), such an apartment might even run $500 per month; another added benefit is that traffic is much better.
If you find yourself getting reamed by munchkin players in combat, take a look at the weaknesses of the characters causing you problems. For rogues, their vulnerabilities include other rogues (can't be flanked) and non-reflex save magic (no evasion).
Besides, if your campaigns are wholly dependent upon combat as a motivator, then you're really not even scratching the surface of what you can do.
My favorite adventure I sent my group on involved them getting used as the out-of-town patsy for a murder. The political intrigue was a much better motivator than combat, and as I recall, the players rolled dice maybe three or four times the entire adventure.
Why not just brute force this problem, maybe with some distributed computing? GAs are heuristic, and will never be guaranteed to find the global maximum for a given problem. Complicating the issue is the nature of the fitness landscape - series of adjacent vectors in the search space likely do not have smoothly-changing fitnesses, and so a GA is not well-suited to finding the solution.
Sometimes people also show a preference for a particular location in a room (near the exit, by a window, close to the printer, next to the machine that the cute chick likes to use). Other times, one machine will have objectively determinable capabilities that others lack (good in-focus monitor, fastest processor, mouse that works properly). Pure observation will not always reveal these other factors.
I wondered about that, too. Even if the number is accurate, I wonder whether it includes everyone who has ever moved for that reason; in that case, it may include a considerable number of people from the McCarthy era who ended up under the thumb of the HUAC.

In the event your function has multiple exit points, it's a lot easier to write one post block than a whole bunch of asserts strewn throughout your code.
That said, failure in those blocks should probably result in thrown exceptions rather than asserting.

The article is focused on gaming machines, and so it doesn't mention two good ways to reduce hard drive noise that might be important for machines in other settings (such as for a PVR).
One is a mounting bracket made by Zalman that includes rubber bumpers that fit between the bracket and the case. This prevents the transmission of noise from the drive to the case, which is much more likely to have some surface that resonates at the frequencies produced by hard drive seeks. The downside is that your case is actually a pretty good heatsink for your hard drives, and unless you get a good quiet low-flow fan to blow over the copper bars on this bracket, you can expect HD temps a few degrees celsius higher than normal.
Another way to reduce HD noise during seeks is to activate the "noise reduction" feature that a lot of modern hard drives have. This feature increases seek time in order to reduce seek noise. If you're running Linux, hdparm has a switch to adjust the NR setting for your hard drives.

If you can sell it, you can get stung selling it. This may be the sort of thing that law enforcement agencies need in order to start busting people.

Well.... she'll certainly end up wet.

I got the "banners blocked" message too. So I shift-clicked Reload about thirty times and then left the site.

They already made that movie. It was called Star Trek: First Contact. Unless.....
Star Trek: Attack of the Boring Vulcan Ambassador Clones!

No, that would be 49999/50000 as big.

What's the point in having a 3d search engine when people won't use the search engines we already have?
Actually, the server was merely being honest when it noted that the community for the Phantom was 404 Not Found.

Yes, if you were programming in C64 Basic.
