I've had more hard drives, CDs, floppies, and tapes fail than I've had zip disks fail. I've only had one zip disk ever fail and it went through hell first. The cost of the disks kill zip not the reliability.
Some of us liked those square pizzas. I for one looked forward to the days they served them. They were a lot better than some of the other things they called food at school.
What do you do that's so complicated when you see a car changing lanes suddenly, putting it too close to you? Apply brakes? Change lanes? A computer can do those things pretty easily-- probably safer and more attentively than a person.
You make it sound like there is nothing to it. The problem is that there are consequences to every choice the "driver" could make. For example the another lane free of other cars? Does that lane end in 50 ft explaining why the other driver jumped over? Is there someone right on my tail that hitting the breaks to suddenly would cause an accedent? Then there are the truely simple yet important questions like. Is the car too close. Programmed wrong and you could have computer controlled cars causing massive accedents because people are merging on an expressway.
But officer, the computer made the car swerved into the other cars because that old lady merged infront of me without signalling.

What's the point of a large mersenne prime? It is useless. Mersenne primes are easy to calculate and completely pointless for encrytion. Find me a real use for such a number and then I'll care until then I say SO WHAT.

I'd like to start by saying grow up. Your rant sounded like a school kid that was mad that the other kids were getting the attention. As for you "virus" we have no proof that you even made such a thing and I personally doubt it because of how much you over played the cloak and dagger theme. Locked up in a safe, yeah right. While I agree that the script kiddies don't know squat the "crackers" that made new worms and virii can be quite clever. There is a difference between people who just use someone else's exploit and those who find their own exploits and lumping them all together just shows how little you know.
Are you sure they love you? They may think that you are a crackpot, but are afraid to tell you out of fear that you will kill them in the night. You shouldn't say something is true when you don't or can't know for sure.
Maybe you just don't get it?
The main point I was making is that she made her deal, got her money, and gave up her rights to the story. She didn't even mention a word about how the actors portaid their roles. To complain about the color of the actors and not talk how well or how bad they portraid the role they were given is petty. Culture is not a racially defined. A culture goes beyond race into the behaviors and beliefs of a society so skin color means nothing.
After reading her complaints about the mini-series, it seems to me that she is most upset about the color of the characters. From what I can tell the story did was not about race, but rather about people strugling to understand their powers and purpose. Make them green and its still the same story. She didn't go into much detail about what else was wrong with the mini-series except that they rearanged some seen and it didn't make since to her. If the color of someone skin is that important to you then you are too narrow minded.
Yes I know that she is this "great" author, but to be that critical over the color of a fictional characters skin is rediculous. If is was made in asia they would have been mostly asian. If it was made in south america they would have been mostly dark skinned. She got her pay and signed away her rights to the mini-series so she should stop bitching and live with her choice. If you don't like the terms of a contract DON'T SIGN IT.
Current security models require passwords to be changed every three months or so. On top of that the password cannot be one last 5 or so used. On top of that it must be different than the last password by x number of characters. On top of that the user must remember x number of passwords of which he/she only uses one on a regular basis. To complicate matters the passwords must contain numbers, letters (upper and lower case), and sometimes special characters (but only certain ones). The expectations placed on the worker are unrealistic and that is what leads to poor password management. Simple password with dongle (smart card, usb device, RFID chip, etc...) is a better solution.
Neutron bombardment is not used to create nuclear fuel which is by an enormous margin the primary source of nuclear waste. If you RTFA you would see that they are talking about nuclear power which is also what I was talking about which does not create nuclear material. It does transform it from one element to another, but the quantity of radioactive material does not increase. Neutron bombardment is used to create non-naturally occurring elements and isotopes for study and medical purposes.
But you are overlooking the fact that it is the result of a change from one radioactive element to another thus the total amount of radioactivite material does not increase.
We are not creating more radioactive material than was already on this planet. All we are doing is moving it around. So If we can safely store it there is no harm. The problem in the past has been storage. This method seems like a safe way to store the waste material until a better solution such as recycling it into a usable product is found.
Actually Leonardo did put a mustache on the Mona Lisa. His understudies carefully corrected it. Maybe someone should correct Lucas's work before releasing it to the public.
I use tk for GUI. It comes installed by default on windows and is available on Linux/Unix, and Mac. On Solaris which is the Unix I use as long as you have tk installed first and use the binary at sunfreeware.com it sets it up for you. The look of the GUI matches the OS you run it on. I do have a few complaints about tk but no language is perfect. I've been meaning to try some of the other GUI toolkits, but I've been too busy with work and Grad. school.
Try programming in python. I've written many applications that run without hitch on both Solaris (Unix) and Windows. Many of these have GUI interfaces and run without modification on either system.
That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Even if every processor cost a penny and there was not cost to set such a system up it would cost $70,000,000,000,000. But processors don't cost a penny and there is always setup cost. Then there would be cooling issues, and energy cost. Lets not forget there would have to be a secure location for such an expensive system so there would have to be cost for building, security, and other personel. If you are going to be a smartass about something, think it through before you just make an ass out of yourself. In most cases when people talk about something being secure they mean computationaly secure which basicly says that as long as it costs more to break than the information is worth it is adequately protected.
Even with a reduced strength of 90 bit brute force still requires 13,075,984,224.46 years with 3 billion keys a second. How secure do you need it to be? Even the best super computer would have to be really really lucky to break it in its operational lifetime. To put it in clearer terms if you gave everyone in the world a mondern computer and had them ALL work on breaking it together it would on average take 1000 years.

1. I guess Google isn't or NASA isn't big enough for you. They both use Python along with many other companies.
3. Python and Ruby don't have an easily-understandable if not really accurate hook comparable to Java's "write once, run anywhere" hype.
Stupid slogans don't win over programers the way it does the general masses.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system I was wondering how many others are disturbed that there is a photospread of Billy boy?

Microwaves ovens are the result of radar technology which was delevoped for war. Just my two cents.
The typo was due to changing how I truckated the extra space. I forgot to remove the c = c[:-1] line so it should have been.
a = [7,8]
b,c = "5"*len(a),("5 " * len(a))[:-1]
print b,c
Don't know why you want to do this but ok here you go.
a = [7,8]
b,c = "5" * len(a), ("5 " * len(a))[:-1] c = c[:-1]
print b, c
