"I don't particularly care for the pop-up blocker and I can't imagine that most users will care for it either."
The most annoying thing EVERY SINGLE ONE of my friends complains abount are pop-ups + adware.
There aren't many occasions when you want a pop-up to happen without you clicking on something to trigger it. And if there is something you do want, it'll take a 10second search of help to find out you have to hold down a key while the site loads to allow pop-ups.
If you just told people to think of a word. then insert a number after each letter. Starting at one point and counting up/down. And use alt caps. You have a very hard to crack password. i.e Word is Canberra. Password: C5a6N7b8E9r0R1a0
It takes a fair time to think about it and type it out the first time. But each time you type it you get faster and faster. I found I could time is easy fast enough for no one to be able to work it out after 5 attempts.
Just because there is bigger issues doesn't mean we should stop caring about the smaller issues. Or else you are just left with choas.
By your reasoning, we should pull all cops off traffic duty, robbery, fruad, assault and everything else. And just put them onto Rape and Murder cases. Great we stop more of the murders, but now no one has anything left to go home to because everything of value has been taken, and you can't drive anywhere because others are driving at 120mph in a 30 zone. And if you were to ask them nicely to slow down because children are getting out of school. Expect to be beaten to a plup. But the police won't give a fuck, because... well.. you're not dead./End Rant
Seen our current attempts to make human-like robots. Or even decent robots at all.
We have a long long way to come before a robot can outdo a human in close-quaters combat. Once we figure out a way to make a silent, fast, maneuvarable, tough robot.
Then we can start considering that. But at the moment we have an over-population of people, and they are pretty good a shooting shit. So why not use them?
Of course in every industry there is only one business, no other business has ever survived when there is a bigger one.
Even if Microsoft gains market share, it's not going to be an end-all for Google. Aslong as Google is better, they will have a market share, and more than likely the geek market share. Which is a pretty big business online.
What you are discribing is what the observer sees. Simply put, light gets slows by black hole -> light gets slowed more -> light slowed to a halt. Since the light isnt moving, this is as far as you'll ever see. As we can not see light travelling away from us.*
To put in it's simplist terms what Hawking is say: Old - What goes in, can't come out. New - What goes in, has to come out, just looking different.
The reason this is confusing you, is more likely because it is wrong.
As a parent posted said, you don't actually slow down, "It's all relative"*, to an observer you get slower and slower until eventually you'd stop completely to the observer (When the object reachs event horizon). But you don't actually slow down.
Think about going in a plane, when you're in a plane you age less because you're travelling faster, but time doesn't actually slow down for you.
Yep, unfortunaly that means you'll never be able to act out slow motions sences from the matrix in real-time by travelling really fast.
*Name of a physics book that explains this in a simple way.
I haven't actually read/listened to the full speech. But I believe what he is actually saying is that when matter falls into the blackhole, instead of losing all it's properties and becoming a generic form of matter. It is instead (semi?) randomly rearranged. So that when the black hole eventually (anti)collasps all the matter will have either been ejected into space during it's life by Hawking Radiation, or ejected during it's final death / anti-collaspe. Not in a form that is 'pure' and undecodable, but instead in a decodable form but different form as to what it entered as.
If anyone is a physicist and knows if this is right or wrong, let us know.
Let's see I've had hotmail as my secondary e-mail accounts for years now.
I have NEVER had spam that got past there spam filters, and even then I only get 1-2 spams a week.
As it's my secondary e-mail I don't need to keep my e-mail's archived because I rarely get important e-mails to it. And if I do I can just forward it.
Hotmail works fine if you don't need a lot of storage space, and don't mind the ads. Which is a lot of people.
But if they couldn't post a video of the rape on the net, would it stop them from doing it? No, it wouldn't she would still have been raped. The only difference is no there is evidence avaiable to prove without a doubt who did it and get them sent away for life. And someone you'll never meet, who you'll never know about may or may not have seen the video and jacked off to it.
It's a small price to pay for a conviction and freedom.
Been to a newly built cinema? The seats are all connected together semlessly, with arms rest coming down to seperate the really one large couch into seats. The great advantage of this, is the arm rests are moveable, so you can move it right out of the way and it becomes a couch, or bed, or runway.
Nice to see someone RTFA and quoted where it said "100% of bootlegs are audience bootlegs".
If they thought that they wouldn't be trying to lobby to stop screeners, and putting watermarks on all the screens. Aswell as having tight security at their production houses. They spend a lot more money securing themselves than the cost of a few night vision goggles. You just don't hear about it because it's not exiting to hear that "Warner Brothers hired 4 more security guards to check their employees".
Slashdot posters should get a clue. (Yeah, I am new around here)
You can quite easily notice one frame at 24 or 29.99fps. Especially if it's a major difference (think black screen in the middle of a movie). Your brain can't read anything on it, but it can tell something was wrong.
If they changed a scene slightly tho, such as in the bottom left hand corner show small numbers near the same colour as the objects it was on. Then it 99.8752% of people wouldn't notice it.
I've made out in the cinema quite a few times past year. Aswell as getting a hand job in a full cinema (You use an empty [steal/ask for a unused one] pop corn box rip out the bottom, and angle it right). I've even got a head job in a cinema but it was only at about 10-15% capacity.
It just depends how much you care if someone else sees you, and how exciting you find it knowing you could get busted.
I'm the annoying guy in the cinema making out next to you, while you try to look the other way;)

"As far as speeding tickets goes, it is a doucmented fact that traffic laws are not for safety but revenue generation. This bad boy will probably pay for itself in no time and continue to reap dividends for years to come."
Agreed it shall pay for itself by saving lives and decreasing speeding. Since it doesn't FINE you. This should be exactly what you want if you're so sure that having traffic laws is just a way for the goverment to make money. Unless ofcourse you would prefer to have no traffic laws and just allow people to go, stop, speed, change lanes, turn, drive in whatever direction they feel like, and generally do whatever else they feel like doing on the roads.
Coming from the guy who off the top of his head knew that "In the last episode of STTNG there is reference to Warp 13 (in the future Enterprise). This future time was only about 25-30 years from the TNG "present" which means it was in the same time period as the Voyager episodes"

So why not use them?
How about fuel-cell powered?
Just because currently to power electronics we use batteries, doesn't mean we have to continue using them.
Or maybe some kentic energy. The suit absorbs a certin amount of the energy you use when walking, talking etc. And uses this to power the suit.

Not only don't we know what the price will be, we get jipped on one DVD.
9 DVD box set, that's laughable.
Not only do we lose half the special features on the good movies, we lose 'em on the bad ones aswell.

Last time I checked, outputting a TV signal and then writing it to a DVD is the definition of copying.
