According to the Discovery Channel article linked elsewhere, 2003 YN17 is at least the fourth moon. The three others are the real moon (Luna, as some call it), Cruithne, and 2002 AA29.
Have the other two left already/have there been others in the past?
And if it's on the computer already, why not add a search feature...make it a database?
And then let people type the name into the browser and have it automatically call the database.
Whoa, deja vu....
(This basically is the old HOSTS file which contained domain name -> IP mappings for every computer on the Internet. It was manageable by FTP back then.)
When the US declares it a crime (mail fraud, I think?) to open others' mailboxes and stick mail in there?
Is nothing taken away from the end users there?
So sorry. The Internet is growing larger than the old methods can handle. I too would love to have my own mail server, but it's probably becoming less and less practical; who knows if I'm a spammer or not?
No, of course not. They want themselves making new TLDs and taking registration payments for it. They see a business opportunity and capitalize. No matter if it's a very risky business if the ones with the true rights decide to assert it (as is now happening).
The ICANN has authority over domain name assignments for most top-level domains (*.com, *.net, *.org, country codes, new stuff line *.info, etc.) and has been assigned the power to create new TLDs.
Other groups have decided they want their own TLDs, so they set up their own name servers (which resolve host names into actual computer IP addresses) with the addition of databases for, e.g., *.web, *.sex, etc. This is unnofficial but technically extremely easy.
ICANN is thinking of asserting its given power over all registries and creating its own official databases for the currently unofficial TLDs. This can cause conflicts with people who have taken domain names with unofficial registries. The fault in my opinion lies with the unofficial registries for advertising an incompatible solution (to use these new names, you need to change your Internet connection settings), but the people who have registered will be in trouble if ICANN starts resolving these new domains and returning "no such domain" for ones that are unofficially registered (and of course vice versa).
Sorry, I don't think so. Nobody's ever bought a laptop in New York City. You'll have to compile the machine from the source code, which you can download from the city officials.

You hear it as if it were coming from 6+ different positions. Besides, your ears do the downmixing anyway to two channels...one into your brain from the left year, one into your brain from the right. It saves on "contraptions" if this can be done before it reaches the ear.

With the everything-disposable mindset we're seeing (e.g, the Ziploc disposable containers, disposable disintegrating rental DVDs) I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw large packs of small single-use laptop batteries.
"All your base are belong to us," through Russian using Systran, BabelFish's engine that supports a few more languages, becomes "Completely your base belongs to us."
"We have captured all your bases," a more accurate translation according to the Wikipedia article, becomes "We zakhvatyvali all your bases." The original Japanese becomes "Everything CATS [the speaker] received your base," and to Russian and back "All TOMCATS poluchilo your base."
There. More than you ever needed to know on AYBABTU and machine translation.
Why should one believe in Russia's space accomplishments and not America's?
There is a simple proof that America sent people to the moon: there are no stars visible in the pictures. It's some trick of physics that I forget that doesn't allow stars to be seen in the photos. What kind of idiot would fake a moon landing and forget to put stars in the pictures?
The people of Pakistan in general don't care much for the US (but the majority of the eastern world hates us anyway, so that's not saying much). Many ethnic Pashtuns/Afghans live in Pakistan, and there is a relatively strong Islamic extremist movement.
The government of Pakistan came into place via a military coup; it has the support of the US. See the Wikipedia section on the coup and the paragraph above it, and the Pakistan article itself. Pakistani soldiers are helping US soldiers in the ongoing hunt for UBL...in fact, a few weeks back Pakistan was more open than the US was about their almost-capture of UBL.
If you close off ports, allow knowledgeable users to open them if they agree to suffer the consequences.
Having an e-mail server would be a great boon for me. Having a web server not on port 8080 would be nice. Being able to use Windows Networking to get to my files across the Internet would be really nice.
When I want these, I go to my router, log on, open the ports on my hardware firewall, do what I need, then close off the ports. Speaking of which, I need to close my DMZ off....
The private sector is completely untrustable. Theoretically, a bunch of the companies they're sending the stuff to may be fronts for terrorists. The government at least ought to have some public control on it - though admittedly not much/no one bothers to control, it is more control than the private sector, which anyone who wants to join can.

Make an e-book, so it eases delivery.

I think my post was misinterpreted. Grandparent poster didn't have a TiVo, so I suggested s/he use a VCR.
I was not implying a VCR was fancy.
VCR?
Do we always have to go for the fancy gadgets?
> At the same time, who knows if you are an Al-Qaeda terrorist? I think I should kill you under the "preventive measures act".
I am Indian by race and have almost Arabic skin color. I would question the security of any airport that doesn't look at me twice.
> Do you think that Yahoo! or Microsoft's Hotmail would pay that $2,000 just so people could send email from them.
.mail will probably not solve.
Yahoo exec: Poink. That's about...1/100 of one banner ad for one day? For the ability to send mail? Consider it paid.
> How much spam do you get already that comes from Yahoo! or Hotmail or some other free email survice.
None. All of this is from spammers using zombies forging yahoo.com or hotmail.com domains. Which, incidentally,
When big ISPs block your SMTP ports?

> to...be able to reverse the plaintext from the hash
THE plaintext? Firstly, there cannot be only one plaintext. By the pigeonhole principle, a few byte sum cannot be unique for all multi-megabyte texts.
Besides, if that were possible, MD5 would not be destroyed; it would become the world's best compression.
Has anyone tried this with:
a) an ancient version of Word?
b) another editor, e.g., WordPerfect, either reading or writing?
No, of course not.

1. Portable doesn't necessarily mean headset; it can mean easily portable across Internet bandwidth.
2. Someone (Dolby?) has technology to play surround sound using 2 speakers...after all, we're only listening with 2 ears.
With the everything-disposable mindset we're seeing (e.g, the Ziploc disposable containers, disposable disintegrating rental DVDs) I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw large packs of small single-use laptop batteries.
Same reason we need a portable stereo music format.
Or even why do we need a portable music player? It's a cool thing that consumers will pay for - that's it.
