The chance of winning the election is the same either way (0%), but I think Georgy has used her gender mostly to turn her campaign into a joke. Selling thongs, "Brains, Beauty, Leadership," and all the other gags serve to remind voters that she has no fact-based platform to run on.
I shudder to think what would qualify as big.... There's a tradition of starting GEB and never quite managing to finish it.

Why is everyone so firmly opposed to registering with NYTimes.com? Not only is it free and easy, but they provide useful services. They aren't going to track you down and accuse you of downloading illegal warez. Just register once for heaven's sake and never think about it again.
This neither qualifies as free-as-in-beer nor free-as-in-speech, but rather free-because-I-won't-let-anyone-tell-me-what-to-do
I don't think it's unreasonable for a country to choose an official language and use it. In parts of the southwest USA you've got whole communities of spanish speakers who don't understand english, and it only creates a mess. It's a severe waste of time and money if you have to set up two signs on every road, translate every legal document (which would be a source of great argumentation among lawyers), etc. If you're going to live in a country, just learn the official language and speak it like everyone else in schools and in public places.
I've never heard this claim, and I doubt Sun would be daring enough to actually do such a thing. Can you point me to where it says this in the official documentation?
ACM has already decided not to premote the licensing of Software Engineers. Although Software Engineering may be a perfectly valid discipline (and I believe it is), I can't really disagree with them. Actually I disagree with their reasons but I've got my own reasons for reaching the same conclusion.
Probably the main factor in Japan's financial success today is that the U.S. dropped a cartload of cash buying tanks and supplies for the millitary from Japan for the Korean war. It was a lot cheaper than shipping the stuff from the U.S. mainland and it gave Japan a great starting point to build a modern economy. Then factor in the Japanese work ethic and dedication to quality.
LOL. I'd love to meet the person who has $90,000 stolen but was too embarrased to tell the authorities.
<sarcasm type="stupid">
And keep in mind that being scammed twice would just be twice as embarassing, so they'd more likely not to report it.
I would pose as the fleeing king of Lower Slabovia (surely you read of the revolution in your great American newspapers? *the confused idiot gives a conciliatory nod*). Then I'd ask if I can stay in the house of this gullible, vain person for a few days. Of course I'd get in without a hitch. Then I'd just take what I wanted at night and drive off in the person's car, all with the security that the the victim would be too embarrased to report it.

The hottest cats in New York can't get gigs anymore. It doesn't help that Broadway producers are trying to reduce the number of music jobs by replacing live musicians with "virtual bands." Visit Save Live Broadway.
It doesn't matter if you play in night clubs or Carnegie hall -- this is a tough time for musicians.
Of course there are also those wonderful friends who send a bulk-ish email that doesn't hide the addresses of the thirty recipients. One of them is bound to be an account at freemail.com.
Not only does your spams-per-hour count begin to rise, but you have to suffer the geek's frustration: How could you have a friend so mind-numbingly ignorant of technical manners?
Every time I set up a new email address ("Okay, this one will be spam-free. Really.") spammers find a way to get it, whatever I may do to prevent them. It only takes one leak.

n^2 is quadratic, not exponential ;)
When n is the number of disks:
The recurrence is T(n) = 2*T(n-1) + 1. (No, there isn't a faster way)
The function is T(n) = 2^n - 1
I can't quote the exact value of 2^64-1 offhand, but the maximum value of an unsigned 64-bit integer is definately pretty huge.
Let's face it: The whole election is a joke. Every time I try to take California seriously, they do something like this...

PGP's algorithm of choice for compression may not be as cool as yours though, so you may want to use bzip2 anyway for particularly large files.

On a seperate note, they make great cameras too.
Somebody mod this up. How do you inject the malicious code into a smart card? Bottom line: you can't.

Slashdotting a website is one thing (although in many cases it seems a bit immoral), but slashdotting email inboxes is just plain cruel.

In case you care, the movie was Terminal Velocity.
