Let's be clear. SSBM is one of my absolute favorite games, but that said, it is NOT noob-friendly. Your God-like friend was either letting you win, or just not as good as you think. Whenever button mashers/noobs come to play in my gaming circle, they die quick, horrible deaths.
You've got to be kidding: have you met many Ivy-leaguers recently? Let's take my school Stanford, it's not technically in the Ivy [athletic] league, but it will do. I'll grant you that there are plenty of rich kids (doctor rich, not $50m+ rich). There are also plenty of not so rich people. I know nobody who's taken SAT courses - I certainly haven't - and the vast majority of the people here went to public schools. Not a whole lot of legacy kids either.
I like the increased contrast. But can anyone elaborate on "nanotachnology processes"? That's like saying any common appliance uses "electromagnetic processes".
If you'd clicked submit two seconds early (why bother so much, it's a beta, right?) you could have been +5 funny. Now you're probably -1 redundant. Ah, the vagaries of slashdot.
A leaked list containing the names of some 240,000 people who allegedly spied for Poland's former communist regime has overtaken sex as the hottest search item on the Internet in Poland, press reports has said.
"This thing is huge. We have recorded around 100,000 Internet searches a day for the list, which is 10 times the number looking for sex," Piotr Tchorzewski, who works at Poland's biggest Internet portal Onet, told Rzeczpospolita daily.
The list, which contains in alphabetical order the names of alleged agents and collaborators of the communist-ero secret service, mixed together with the names of those who were allegedly spied on, has also been put up for auction on the Internet, but its bid price late yesterday -- 2.99 zlotys (around 75 euro cents) -- was hardly breaking records.
On Onet's web portal, it tops the list of search items, and visitors are referred to 650,000 links for the controversial collection of names that has pushed the attorney general to launch legal proceedings and Prime Minister Marek Belka to express concern for the safety of active intelligence agents whose names "might" be on the list.
The list, dubbed the Wildstein List after Bronislaw Wildstein, the journalist who secretly copied it around two weeks ago at the national archives, can change from one Internet consultation to the next, as hackers have been adding or taking off names, press reports said.

I just had a class with a pretty patent-savvy prof, and I asked him just the same question. He said the requirement's been scrapped since there's simply not enough time. He (Tom Lee, of Stanford, I think he founded Matrix Semiconductor or some such company. Generally a pretty ridiculously decorated guy.) is the one who told me about the perpetual motion patents, so that's my source. I'm as shocked as you are, but I'm inclined to trust my prof on this one.
First, you and I may not need the information, but others may. Second, the theoretical right to see the information is more important than the information itself. As the source of our government's legitimacy, we have the right to know of its activities. Of course, this right must be curtailed in the interests of national security (this case is, however, ludicrous) and other citizens' privacy (as in your example of FBI files). But why shouldn't we have access to documents on the Kennedy assassination? Y'know, I'd rather have the government hampered by FOIA requests. It keeps it from meddling with my life.
Are BitTorrent users more vulnerable legally (not practically) since they automatically upload? I'd think that makes them distributors, which presumably brings higher penalties than consumption.
How about the space defecit? You know, the fact that Americans seem to have much more room to live in? Comparing national mores is hard, subjective, and, in the end, usually pointless.
1. Submit a somewhat-niche story.
2. Use an odd/occult number instead of a common one. 3. Increase comment count of your story by roughly 70%. 4. Laugh as your pawns go "666? WTF?"
Disclaimer: I don't necessarily subscribe to the following view (haven't done all the research), but's it's a strong philosophical argument. Copyright provides an incentive to find new ideas, since inventors can be motivated by greed (ex: electronics, radio). In addition, other greedy inventors will often find new, better workarounds (check out the elctronics industry from 1900 on). This is a social good, and therefore justifies copyright under utilitarian ethics.
Whatever you may think you know about him from two short sentences, you have no right to condescend to him like that. Parent poster should not be treated like a child until you know he is one.

So they think they can eliminate light scattering. What about light absorption?
Keep them away from money. This is a labor of love; do you want an exec fucking it up?
Yes yes, but what does "nanostructured" mean?

The combustible engine is easy. The hard part is getting it not to combust while stuff burns usefully inside.
I doubt it was the guy, nobody would want to get on the bad side of former-communist spy agencies.

I let (and encourage) my fiancee to read my email, and I read hers. We tell each other everything. Trust also means open communication, y'know.

Unfortunately not. Many perpetual motion machines have been patented.

Maybe components and things are more expensive now?

Sorry, ddin;t notice that this was an editor post. So replace satisfaction with profit - more adviews from compulsively refreshing /.ers.

No profit, but no ???, and sweet satisfaction.
A java version of this hardest version? It would be nice to preview the puzzle without the expense^W hassle of a plastic version.
I believe the most sophisticated agency would have to be Mossad, since it actually works.
