from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamiflu and tfa, it seems that the new process which this article is about has been released patent free.

Not true. The nazi party actually legitimately aquired a majority in the Reichstag, before they burned it down and blamed it on the opposition in order to seize absolute power. He only won 37% of the votes cast (or thereabouts) but the opposing citizens were too divided in opinion.
The problem is shows that have a message. Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal, and it's ok to fuck warrants because the other guy is guilty. I don't think I've ever seen a law enforcement show out of the USA where violating due process lead to innocents being screwed over but the reality is it happens all the time (weasel words, I don't know for sure but I'm guessing it's >0).
The point is these shows are ingraining "Don't restrict us, after all we only go after the guilty ones" into the mind of the viewing public.
I was always under the impression that prime numbers weren't floating point. I've never seen a prime finding algorithm that exclusively used floating point.
What he means by bloat is that small individual applications that ought only to depend on kdelibs, don't. They depend on "everything". This is, I maintain, because it's slightly easier than actually learning to code.
Yes, but your "rar rar exponential growth" argument would still apply if the infection rate was 1.00001 computers per million years, so I consider it a fallacy. Anyway, I was under the impression that worms propogated by trying to open connections at random, a large fraction of which go nowhere and take an appreciable time to time out. Any successful connection which is then likely to get rejected (or not, then it might propogate) will result in a new one being initiated, with the end result that you end up with a machine that can only make one *attempt* per $tcp_timeout/8, compared to 1 attempt per as-fast-as-it-goes, PLUS the users notice PDQ and have to get it fixed.
Hard to set up in a way that doesn't actually fuck with the user's programs. let's block outbound traffic! apart from port 80, and port 443, and whatever MSN messenger uses, and however google earth talks to the servers, and smtp but ONLY to the isp, and pop3 and imap and pop3-ssl and imap-ssl and...
get it? the 8-pending-connection limit is imo a much saner way to limit the damage a contaminated box can do.
Yep, I'd forgotten the distinction. Rampant atheists trying to claim association with science in order to further their own belief system. Tangent: I love pissing off atheists by calling atheism a religion. It is a religion, in which self is king. It states, I am smart enough to disprove the existence of God (balls), and arrogant enough to believe it (not balls).
The existance of god is not falsifiable, but it may be provable.
Exactly, this is what many scientific reactionaries forget. I'm a scientist in training, I have the whole provability/evidence/theory/etc thing down pat, and I know that it's impossible to disprove the existence of god, So why does that lead to the assumption that god does not exist? I stick with a firm "I Don't Know For Sure But Wake Me Up If They Find Something That Survives Rigorous Inspection" then I get on with my life, having been satisfied that these theories need no further section of my thought.
Of course, some scientists forget that they came to this assumption, and so heatedly defend thier right not to waste time pondering the unlikely that it appears as though they think they can disprove something through words alone. Hah!
In practice though, nobody did them. Why? because a failed luck stat either lead to death or a fight, and a failed fight lead to death. Noone's going to go back to the start of the book because they rolled a 5.
EE-ER!
There's a motorway here in the UK, I tried to google it and failed, that has a wind farm next to it. Guess what? accidents in the area soared because of all the people rubbernecking when they should have been driving.
if I have a choice between trusting "well, unless you have a supercomputer, it's unbreakable" and trusting "it's unbreakable unless you believe science fiction writers", I'd root for quantum theory.

Rupert Murdoch's agenda involves sacks of cash, not 1984. I can live with that.
This is britain, we have common sense about these things. The public at large remains healthily skeptical of the goverment, in contrast to the USA.
... 50% of torrents sold in grocery stores are google?
Yeah, but the people who empty your bins would all be dead. Here's a shovel and a plot of land, start burying!
Hitler being a fucking wackjob is what was largely responsible for the allies winning the war.

nake sure you get a spare AE-35 unit.
I invoke godwin's law; you obliquely reference mandatory tattoos for the purposes of identification. It's still a valid point though.

But isn't freespace 2 an open source sequel/clone to freespace 1?

Only for entanglement. Polarisation is nicer, iirc, in that you know for sure which bits could not have been detected.

The secure stream is generated randomly on the fly by quantum mechanics.
Like Fuck.
I'm sorry, but you're actually literally wrong.

Ok?
Yep, all that lovely dna-containing skin.
