What we might see is the moon get lighter and it's orbit shift, then we mess up the tides, and totally screw with the earth's magnetic flux (becasue it is in part the moons gravitation attraction that effects the rotation of the earth's core and it's magnetic flux) but hey i didn't really need my compass to work anyway.
Just to play devil's advocate for a second.....
Murder can be proved with out witnesses, but if you are a witness you can be FORCED to testify. If you refuse you can be JAILED for contempt. So, in someway the law already does depend on forcing people to do things FOR the enforcement agencies. Hell it REQUIRES people to serve on a jury.
Do I think that Schools and ISP and Companies should be required to police their networks...no. But that doesn't mean that they shoudl also be able to totally refuse to help authorities (hindering an invastigation).
When they ASK you on your employment for if you've even been arrested (which they usually do) you say YES. I've never had to do this, but I would suspect that if you tell them you were, but that it was exponged from your record because you were innocent, that it wouldn't be a problem for most employeers. If it is, you file suit against them for discrimination.
The big deal was the massive amount of bandwidth being used. They were gunna shut down my MAC address due to "excessive" ussage for "non-educational" reasons. I real didn't care what they were sharing/downloading, i jsut didn't want MY access pulled (turned out they went to cloning other people's MAC addresses because theirs was already blacklisted).
When I was in school they used the MAC address to ID your computer, if you didn't have a registered MAC address you got no network access....the down side, several times in 4 years my MAC address was "cloned" by someone else to use the newtork for porn.....
Um....this isn't really a good comparison, because by and large MOST people find child molestation morally wrong...there aren't nearly as many people who find drug use moraly wrong. Come on, don't use shock value to try and win an argument, use logic....oh wait, in taht game i'm probably talking to an unarmed man:)
Or more easily, quotas on bandwith per IP. If anyone person has a REAL reson for more bandwith, their IP can be un-capped.......if not, they only get to download a dozen songs today instead of a few hundred. :)
They also have a process where the pressuruise the WHOLE sub (or sections of it) then open a hatch on the bottom. Since the pressure is the same and the air won't go down, the water won't flood in. I know movies are usually "bad science' but they used something like this in "The Abyss" and "Deep Blue Sea". It's also done in real life.
Actually, the way the subs work (most modern anyway) is that they pump WATER into the air tanks, compressing the air and creatting a pressure (and making the tank HEAVIER). When they want to surface they let the air PUSH the water out. If you sub is well designed you only need to OPEN the drain to let the water be pushed out. Most subs DO have compressors to add more air pressure (and there for empty the tanks faster and more completly) however they can surface with out these (in the case of a major power failure). Whenyou were to compress the air in your tanks you don't change your boyency (because the air comes from somewhere so your totall MASS is the same. They way you change your bouency is to ADD something (usually the most avaliable thing is water). Also most modern subs have a way to drop excess weight, like propellors and engine parts via explosive bolts (again for emergency procedures). I'm sorry, i hate to inject some REAL knowledge about subs.
Did anyone read the application? I'm kinda annoyed that 1/2 the questions were trying to prove that you watch the show. I watch that show as often as I get the chance, but I don't get it as my house, so I catch them like once every couple of months. I don't think they should be so worried about how much you watch the show and car more about how you would do....oh never mind, we need to keep the advertisers happy.:(
I have SBC local service and I get something simular. Everyday at 10:xx am and 2:xx pm my answering machine has 2 calls that leave no message excpet a single beep. Not nearly as annoying as what you describe, but still pisses me off. So I have switched to using my cell phone for ALL calls. I don't answer the home number at all. I check the machine like once a week and delete all the telemarketeer messages and the beeps. It's ILLEGAL for telemarketeers (of any kind even political and charities) to call that becauase it's a ceel phone. So when i get telemarketeer calls i ask to speak to a manager......when I get them i politly inform that they have called my cell phone, which is illegal, i would like to know where I can send them the bill for this call (since they are legaly responsible for ANY phone charges that result from me answering their call). Works like a charm.:)
I was thinking of the Homer Simpson version were the user gets mad at the incommeing message and replies with a nasty note, which when the read it only get angerier.....i can hear the DOH now:)
The new one i've run into recently is they use some kinda script so that the reply-to address in my address....which makes fintering really easy becuase how often do I send mail from my account TO the same account. However I could see some stuipd user getting very confused.:)
Then again for someone who happens to have a last name that's failry unique (as in everyone in the US with my last name is directly related to me) this isn't a problem.:)
I just see a big difference between something being wrong and something being EVIL. I guess it's just a matter of degree, i feel that things can be wrong without being wrong enough to be considered evil.
Yes most people would disagree with calling him "evil"....greedy, selfish, powerhungery and underhanded yes, but not evil. Come on The Green River Killer, John Wayne Gasey, Jeffory Dommers, and many other violent criminals, they are evil.....Billy-Boy is not evil, he just has a way of doing what's best for himself.
IANAL but I believe that if the store is selling CDs they are allowed to post the cover art as "a picture of the item they are selling". Just like if I owned a painting (that is clearly copyrighted) I can post photos of it on my website if I wanted to sell it and those were advertisments.
With the way he kept turning his head that COULD have just been his pupils reacting to the light.....After all the lighting was a good part of what makes that work so well. ;)
He sould have gotten one for "Bringing Out the Dead". Unfortunalty he refuses to spoon feed crap to people, he writes good movies that really have some substance to them....so he will never win:(

Car-crash simulations don't parallelize real well, neither does modelsim. The kinds of things that don't parallelize well are those that would need to send lots of data for each calculation. For these types of problems you need a fast processor with a lot of ram (and cache).

I just want my start-up to give me the glowing red ball and say "Good Morning, Dave".

Oh yeah. ...ok, so it was A LONG time ago, and I don't remember my chemisry that well. I do remember it being very fun to ignite the Hydrogen :P

And here I just used electical current to ionize water into O2 and H2 :P
