Can anybody explain this using something simple, like stuffed bunnies?
You got this stuffed bunny, right? Then you rip him in half, but the halves still remember being part of the whole bunny, so they're half-bunnies, but they're still part of the whole bunny. And then you transmit info between the bunny pieces.
I'd like to propose a little civil disobedience. Copyright terms are insane and have been continually extended by copyright maximalists for years now. I think sane copyright terms are 20 years for everything but software and 10 years for software as it changes so fast.
I'd actually be okay with an unlimited set of 10 year terms, but the renewal cost grows exponentially.
The only way the plebeians got anything was via some sort of pubic disorder or when the patricians really needed something from them. The real power in Rome was the Senatorial class and the magistrates (which did include a Tribune of the Plebs)
Nit: splitting the Romans into 'Patricians' and 'Plebs' is not the most useful division, as by the Late Republic the distinction was relatively minor. They did however have classes based directly off of someone's income and/or property, and most of the voting was set up so that a vote against the interests of the wealthiest Romans was unlikely.
I read that a lot here. What exactly does "getting stuff done" entail? I get stuff done all day long on my Windows 7 notebook.
I'll bite.
It obviously varies per user, but I'm in the same category as the poster you responded to.
All the servers I do dev work for are running FreeBSD. I'm a creature of the command line, I think in pipelines sometimes. I manipulate very large text files. Doing this in Windows is certainly possible; I did it for several years at my current position. But last time I was due for a machine upgrade, I decided to install Linux instead. Once I got through the initial adjustment I found it much easier to do development locally. YMMV, if Windows is a better work environment for you then by all means continue to use it.
Couldn't the same also be said about snail mail - that you have no reasonable expectation that the envelope will be opened by the recipient?
I must say, I find it slightly disturbing that there is no reasonable expectation that the owner of the phone is the one who will be reading my correspondence. What reasonable person does *not* expect someone to be in position of their own property? If it was not reasonable to believe the owner of a phone is the one holding it, why would we use such phones for communication?
It's not so much the expectation that the intended person is the recipient, but rather that the intended person is the exclusive recipient of your communication.
The First is explicitly impugned by the laws in general as they also apply a Gag Order involving the nature and content of the letters.
If the gag order is held to be valid, I'm curious if you could still get around it with regards to legal counsel, by claiming attorney-client privilege. In other words, while the conversation obviously happened, no one can actually be compelled to speak about it.
Am I the only one that thinks that the interpretation of free speech is overly broad?
No, you're not the only one. Burning the flag is also free speech, but burning the flag in violation of fire codes doesn't magically become protected. We also have freedom of religion, but when your religion conflicts with the laws the laws take precedent.
If he was stripping naked to protest high gasoline prices or the war in wherever, I'd agree. But here, the stripping naked part was an essential part of the statement.
Nobody rates lower than 0 or higher than 100 so it can't be a normal distribution because the tail would be cut off. This would primarily be a problem for large standard deviations or extreme scores.
Not just that, but there are numbers in the low range that just aren't going to get used. Who rates something as a 3 out of 100? What does that mean? It was absolutely terrible except for one relatively minor part that was done right?
If the mass part counts at all (Charon being 12% of Pluto's mass), Jupiter is a far smaller fraction of the Sun's mass (something like 0.1% if I did the math right).

"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
My usual answer is "I used to have a great answer for this, and then five years went by."
But to comply with the OP's request, it would need to be a bunny cake.

the push is backed not only by Russia, but China, Brazil and India as well
Names I *don't* see up there are ones like UK, France, Germany, or just about anyone in Europe.

Yeah got that bit mixed up. Never mind then, that won't work.
Stop that right now. The "Too noisy" meme was started by Boeing to[...]
Okay, no. Stop. Repeat after me: NOT EVERY PIECE OF INFORMATION IS A "MEME".
This is in much the same way that not every fucking use of the internet is "the cloud". Stop that right now.
So you're complaining about the Cloud Meme... and the Meme Meme?

A company is the first player in a market with a very high barrier to entry.
Jack Daniels produces other items as well, such as t-shirts with their logo on them. The book could easily be mistaken as a product of the company.

No one will ever spot it!
That one even works in hex, decimal, or octal.

Does anyone else play the "Predict which XKCD this will be" game when Oblig XKCD links are posted?
(Those that don't know the strip numbers off by heart of course)
Every time. I don't have the numbers memorized, but I do recognize 'recent' vs 'not recent' and that helps sometimes.

Good to know I'm appreciated. Can't believe I got modded down for that. Did someone think I was serious?
