One of the things such sensors check for is blood flow. So naturally they'll just have to kill you afterwards, but you won't be needlessly mutilated.
Yes. Some biometric sensors can be tricked with dead tissue or a photocopied fingerprint, but the good ones detect life signs. (This is the case for both good fingerprint sensors, reading electric impulses instead of light, and retinal scans that measure blood flow.) Some sensors are even active, checking how the body reacts to stimuli, for example how the iris reacting to light, comparing it with a recorded sample.

Seriously, though: In computing, you have more than those two alternatives (Linux etc. hint, hint), and the competition actually has made Microsoft, a company that marketed bad software as if it was good, make some software that's actually pretty good from a usability and productivity standpoint. They have caught up on stability too. Now there's only security and non-evilness left.
The Internet, you know this global TCP/IP network, is made up of several networks. Some of those networks are also internets. (Interconnected internetworks).
Yes. But it's not just a Googlebomb. It's also a [Insert any page ranker that takes words in the link into consideration]bomb. I don't think Google holds a patent on that.
IANAL I think commiting a crime using a firearm or an explosive device will get you a higher sentence. I'm not sure wether a murder sentence is high enough that it will be increased by use of a firearm, but aquiring a weapon to commit the crime rather than grabbing whatever was handy, would make it more likely that it was pre-meditated - a first degree murder.
The fake scan information was used in W32/Netsky.o, W32/Mydoom.y and W32/Buchon.gen also, but not with the same combination of body and subject. So this may be a new strain of virus. I've sent the sample to a virus company.

Are you suggesting that "Super-size me!" has created a new fast food sport? Quick! Register a domain and make a site about it. Design and sell elastic T-shirts and apparrel for it.
My comment that you can't survive cutting each other's hair, goes for serving each other burgers too.
Everyone needs to look at this with Republican rose colored glassed and view this as an investment opportunity. Start buying up costal real estate in Alaska, Northern Canada and Siberia.
Lex Luthor, is that you? Quick, somebody trace his IP and wire it to Superman! Hm. A shrewd businessman should know that you shouldn't hype the things that you are looking to buy yourself. Ah, I've got it now: It's just Darl McBride trying to liquidate those assets that he put into empty oilfields in Siberia and Canada, so he can pay for whatever he's smoking.
natural cycle Yes, the planet goes through natural temperature cycles. It's still a debate about how much of it is actually man made. But I recommend cation in favour of the theory until we know more.
species Not only do new species get discovered by humans all the time, but evolution/God/Great maker makes us new forms of life too.
Good news: 337,000 new jobs, and numbers from past months adjusted up. But: Some of it is from post-hurricane reconstruction. (So if you believe that the man-made component of global warming is significant, you could say that polluting more creates more jobs. Ha!;-)
Bad news: Unemployment rates went up. But: That was because people who had not been registered as unemployed heard about more jobs being available, and started actively looking for one.
Worrying to me: Loss in manufacturing. The industrialized countries are losing manufacturing jobs to low-cost countries. In my country this is because we have ridiculously high wages and prices. You can't survive on just cutting each other's hair, you know.
Wow. I guess some of that Preussian dicipline was still present in the Wehrmacht and hadn't been done away with by the Nazis.
The flipside is that Norwegians were also members of the master race. If that happened to a slav or a Jew, and the commander had done the same thing, he could have been demoted or worse...
What many people forget is that some of the Allied forces, part of that noble generation that I still thank for liberating us, also commited war crimes, shot surrendering Axis troops and so on. They weren't prosecuted. On the top level, the generals were guilty of bombing purely civilian targets. If a Forward Air Controller makes a mistake or the guided bomb lands next door it's bloddy murder, while the firebombing of Dresden is mostly forgotten. Yes, we talk about Hiroshima and Nagasak, that's natural because a new weapon was used, and because our parents spent the cold war with the nuclear threat hanging over them. But they forgot that the war to end all wars seldom is, and letting our allies get away with war crimes could set a precedent for future wars.
I can think of lots of countries that would come down just as hard on infractions and crimes in their own armed forces. Trouble is, most of the ones I can think of are western democracies. Your point is a good one. But this was the Christmas present of the decade to the anti-American press machine. The acts of the Lynddie's S&M staff show them to be bad people. Photographing themselves in the act show them to be candidates for the Doofus of the Year Award.
And you have proof that these soldiers were acting on orders from the Pentagon? Well, that's a relief. You'll save the US tax payers millions in wasted investigations into this matter.
Why was this labeled a troll? The point he rises is valid enough.
Typical response: Make your own news site;-)
My response: Meta-moderate if you have the chance. And you could try giving a +3 modifier to Troll posts (in your prefs). It's the shadier side of slashdot. And you wonder why the trolls bother to troll. Are they unemployed, or working for the Borg?:-D
Yeah, but those who said that were both showing their negative sides. One moping over being called to the principal's office, and the other was a gloating powerist bigot.
Better than Shrek 2, in my opinion. The Incredibles has less of the movie spoof scenes, but makes up for it with a more compelling story. The pop culture references are mainly about 50s/60s era super-heroes, but you won't miss it once the story gets going.

RC5-72 is considered to be a parking effort, for whenever the OGR effort runs out of work. CPU speed being what it is today, you'd probably have a better payback chance for playing the lottery than cracking RC5-72.

No. The picture where they both sit in a crowd is real.
The picture where they stand together speaking is a shoddy manipulation.

I hope you meant your coworker deleted the desktop and menu shortcuts to Internet Explorer. Not that he deleted the shortcuts in the Favorites menu.
