From the wikipedia article: "According to several urban legends, Nintendo opened a lawsuit case against Gessert and Hülsbeck, because Nintendo saw a direct copyright infringement to its new game Super Mario Bros. But in fact, there has never been such a lawsuit. Neither Nintendo, nor the German programmers claim to be privy to any lawsuits. This myth was created shortly after the game was taken out of stores. Nintendo itself later admitted to have influenced the stop of sales personally, as it did already before with other games.[4]"
Unlike back in the 1980s, Nintendo doesn't have that kind of market control any more. You don't have to go to a brick and mortar store to get a copy of an app anymore, and anybody can put up a website.
Here's one. Take a list of crypto algorithms not recommended by the NSA (there are hundreds). Create an interface object, that calls underlying overloaded crypto algorithms at random, with a secret signature that only the library knows for which crypto algorithm was used. On decrypt, check the signature, and decrypt using the correct algorithm. Regularly seed honeypot false information messages through the system, and if any honeypot is acted upon by an outside agency, remove that encryption scheme from the DLL, re-randomize the crypto list, and release a new DLL to all authorized systems- can use the opportunity to add new routines in as well.
The problem is the story line, with respect to Episodes I-III and VII-IX isn't about the frontier. Episodes IV-VI could be about the frontier, because that was the story line- the time after a civil war, when nobody could afford anything new, and all the good guys had to hide from the big bad evil empire.
Unless they blow up Coruscant in Episode VII, they're going to be stuck with having to incorporate urban planets into the New Republic.
One other reason is the fear of a random universe is worse than the fear of a purposeful, or in the case of fundamentalist Christians and Islamics, an arbitrary God.
Claiming that an enemy that has managed to kill 3,000 people in a single day "isn't a threat" isn't rational, it isn't fear, it's denial.
I've got to start using that in abortion debates. I just realized that Planned Parenthood, to a pro-lifer, kills people far more efficiently than al Qaida.
I still regularly use code examples in my personal library that I wrote 15 years ago. The stuff I was writing 28 years ago was in language variants that no longer exist.
Though sadly, given the attitude current politicians over the last 15 years have shown to the military class, I'd have to say neither side's soldier's health even rates a concern.
I still think for small topic-based blogs, a set of whitelisted words works the best. If a post doesn't contain any of the whitelisted words, it's spam.
I moderate on a blog about autism. It uses captcha fairly heavily. Adding catpcha has done exactly NOTHING to reduce the 20 new users a day and the three or four who post spam.
It does go in waves. And from the language used, I've got to think it's Eastern European/Asian mainly. But boy is it prolific, and apparently captcha is worthless for stopping it.
Replace the continuous Fourier Transform with an iterative Fourier transform, with multiple measurements of the finite wave train, then average is the basic idea. The more samples you have, the more correct will be the single frequency that comes out. "No definite single frequency" is not equal to "no discoverable single frequency"/
I'm not saying it will or won't work. I'm saying that it is fundamentally impossible without significant processing power. Processing power that we're coming closer to possessing than we had in 1920.
My original off the cuff troll on this subject referred to Heisenberg Compensators. Those who can correctly identify where these are used in a certain science fiction series, will recognize that the original is *always* destroyed, and an exact duplicate created elsewhere.
You clearly don't understand what I'm saying. I'm saying if you know all the properties of both measuring devices, you can correct for the error in the quanta. The experimenter doesn't have to know both at the same time, the computer network can.

Good idea. So take down the Super Mario Brothers site, change the graphics, re-release it as the Stupid Jackass Friends site, and go for it!

Here comes the groupthink that is exactly the OPPOSITE of what it should be.
Especially not a federal government that uses Twitter to plan "secure e-mail"

What is really cool is when you have two that get along with each other, and IM each other during meetings.
The result is the solution will be coded before the meeting is over.
What is so hard with "replace the drive, get a new pull from GIT"? This should have been a minor inconvenience- maybe a 4 hour delay at best.
That "Other Opponent" happened to the the Pope.
I was unaware that feral rats had structured time

Wish I had mod points, +1 to parent.

It occurs to me that a tablet, with a stylus, and a good indexed note taking application *full screen* would be superior to pen-and-paper.
But that would necessitate *NOT* replying to e-mail and social media.

Worse yet, I tested Office on Android last night on my Samsung SIII Relay- a device with a physical keyboard.
It refused to recognize the keyboard.
To many, many software engineers, sales is the devil himself.
The one WinCE feature I still miss is Activesync.
But Google Drive is a pretty good substitute. I just wish there was a way to achieve outlook integration better.

Yep, the question is does it diverge or converge? Otherwise, this is just the same as the iterative method of solving an integral.
Yes, but measurably inaccurate.
