No, both downloads and uploads work -- it just means that you'll be initiating all connections, that nobody will be initiating connections with you.
Two people behind firewalls (or proxies) will not be able to connect to each other, but beyond that, everybody can still connect to everybody. It still works, and doesn't violate any basic principles upon which bittorrent was based.
God, calling the authorities is the WORST thing you could do.
First, they're going to take your computer and scour it with a fine tooth comb. Anything else that's illegal, they're going to nail you for. Got any other porn? Let's hope it's all GILF porn, because if somebody even *looks* that they might be under 18, they're going to try to nail you with it. Even if it's deleted. Perhaps *especially* if it's deleted. And they may try to nail you with your normal porn -- after all, it could be obscene. Got any emails where a friend mentions smoking a joint? Now they have cause to harass him.
And that assumes that they believe that it was an accident that you downloaded this. If they don't believe you, they'll nail you, and use your confession against you. (Yes, it's a confession. You also consented to their search.)
Even if they believe you and don't find anything else, you may never get your computer back. Or if you do, the drive may be wiped bit by bit -- after all, they can't give you the child porn back.
Seems to me the best thing to do is to delete it with something that overwrites every bit, like shred. And move on with your life. If the police do show up down the road, ask for their search warrant. If they don't have one, send them away. In any case, don't answer *any* questions beyond your name until you've talked to your lawyer. "Were you using your computer the night of Jan 12th?" "Um, I have nothing to say to you until I've spoken with my lawyer".
And if they do show up, get a lawyer. And if Matthew White's public defender is suggesting that he plead guilty (and there's not more to the story), MATTHEW WHITE NEEDS TO GET A BETTER LAWYER! Put himself into debt for years if he has to, but it's far better than getting convicted for this crap.
... and found CL's RSS feeds to be too unreliable to really use with Yahoo Pipes -- the pipe would get wedged because the RSS feeds were. I kept thinking that they had intentionally blocked YP -- and sometimes it seemed like they did, because the feeds worked properly if I went to them directly. And then it would start working again. (It might have simply been something that looked for abuse and blocked it, and with lots of people using YP, it might have looked like a DoS attack, all coming from just one or a few IP addresses.)
Ultimately I just wrote my own setup that worked very much like Yahoo Pipes, but without the GUI to configure things (I just wrote perl code to do what I wanted) and it also did caching of the RSS feeds for a while and if there was an error it would simply work with the cached data rather than failing. Took a while to get right, but now that I have it working properly, I love it.
My old 4x4 keypad phone doesn't have a C key. Or do you mean the 2 key? Or * or #?
And a minor nit -- each key doesn't emit one tone. It emits two tones -- one based on the horizontal location of the button and the other based on the vertical location of the button. If I recall correctly. (I imagine you know that already, however.)
At $150 a pop to "consult" with a man in a nice suit, you can easily remind him that his phone and laptop aren't secure, even offer him advice on what he can do and what he can buy to keep his tracks concealed better.
I like the idea, but what happens when he gets nabbed anyways, because he fell for something that seemed so trivial you didn't even mention it. (Or any other a number of scenarios that may or may not be your fault.)
Then he (or Guido) comes looking for you, once he's out of jail? Or the police come looking for you, his accomplice...
People have been killed by collisions with bicycles. Granted, the cyclist is usually hauling ass when it happens, and it's quite rare, but it's not unheard of. That said, it's still very rare, and most cyclists are pretty careful of hitting pedestrians, so I think the world will survive if cyclists don't have mandatory cards in their spokes.
As for the ego, are you referring to the motorists or the cyclists ?:)
The article didn't say the end user could customize the sound.
Sure, I imagine that many people will want to customize it, and a few will actually do so, but most are likely to leave it at the default because they can't figure out how to change it. (And I imagine Nissan won't make it easy -- like you'd have to rewrite the internal computer's ROM, or disconnect the speaker it uses and connect it to your own sound generator circuitry, etc.)
Considering that efficiency is probably measured in distance moved divided by energy used, it's efficiency rating is probably OP{OIP{{{{{DIVISION BY ZERO ERROR
Oh wait, the A/C, radio, lights, etc. are on, so the energy used isn't zero. So it's zero divided by some positive value. So the efficiency is zero if it's not moving.
Beware. Taking a statement that's worded as if it were a fact (such as `Austin cops routinely have orgies in the backroom with arrested hookers!') and prefacing it with `It is my opinion that...' does not automatically mean it's can't be libel.
I really don't think Avecedo pushed the red light cameras -- that's the city, not the police. They police don't run them or really do anything with them. And if you don't pay, it's a civil matter rather than a criminal matter -- so the police don't even enforce that.
... Is it a bad thing? Keeping the 12 yo tubs of lard from keeling over sounds like a good thing to me. As does optimizing one's HR if one wants to push themselves at just the right amount. (Now, having the PE teacher pushing you harder than you want to be pushed, that might be a different matter.)
Ultimately, how much do the things cost? The cheap ones don't have any way of downloading your HR data -- you can look at the watch part and see your current HR and your max HR since it was reset, and that's about it (beyond the usual watch functions -- time, date, stopwatch, etc.)
I see it as being a bit weird, but I wouldn't assume the worst.
Assuming you're right (and I don't know either way), I imagine that such a rule would disappear quickly if these transgendered women started *winning* against the `real' women consistently.
They would only allow something like that if it didn't actually make a difference. Once it made a difference, people would argue it was unfair and it would be thrown out.
Well, it's even easier than that.

Gold does have considerable value to industry. If society crashed, it would lose a lot of it's value -- but certainly not all.
What you've described more accurately describes diamonds. Sure, they have value to industry, but industry has learned how to make them. And natural diamonds aren't all that rare either -- it's just that they're kept artificially scarce.
What would really kill the value of gold would be if people found a way to economically transmute lead or some other element into gold, removing the scarcity. Fortunately, this seems to be a ways off.
Just so there's no confusion... the parent post is incorrect. Faraday cages do not have to be grounded. There are reasons to ground them, but they can work just fine as a faraday cage even if not ground.
It probably is illegal. Vandalism, destruction of property? Just because it's temporary or made of sand you don't usually keep doesn't mean it's not property. If you break somebody's ice sculpture, couldn't that be that illegal too?
Now, it would be really difficult to get the police to arrest or the DA to prosecute for such a crime (though it might be easier if it was your entry for a sand castle competition)... but that doesn't mean it couldn't be considered illegal.

Power consumption isn't linear.
Few things are truly linear, but I don't think that's the appropriate term there. `Constant' would fit better.
In any event, Offtopic does cover it.

utter waste-of-space career political figures such as him don't like criticism
Actually, he rose through the ranks -- he's not a career politician. He's a cop, now doing a job that's largely political.
But yeah, cops never liked criticism. But who does? Cops (and politicians) often can do a bit more about it than the average citizen, however.
I really don't think Avecedo pushed the red light cameras -- that's the city, not the police. They police don't run them or really do anything with them. And if you don't pay, it's a civil matter rather than a criminal matter -- so the police don't even enforce that.
And as for a never ending supply, there aren't that many. At least not yet.
I personally haven't had any `unreasonable' (tickets are bad, but not unreasonable) experiences with Austin police, but friends have.
OK, let's assume that's true.

Sounds good, but then women would almost never win in most sports. They may be equal under the law, but they're certainly not physically equal.

Probation is punishment. It's also temporary. Having to register as a sex offender really isn't considered punishment, it's `for the children'.
Likely, you're also banned from /. for life as well. (It depends on how exactly the law is written.)

WD40 brings up duct tape.
Put some duct tape around it so it can't go anywhere. Then wait for the next mission. Once the shuttle has expanded, pull it and the duct tape out.
Not that NASA would do this, as there's a tiny but non-zero chance that something important was damaged, but ...
