(It is the same argument for why said being does exist).
If something can be proven false and true at the same time, there is some problem with the argument's assumptions. Many so called proofs exploit this (-1 = 1, 2+2=3, 28 is the largest number, every one of of Aquinas's proofs that god exists, etc.)
Every proof that god exists that I have ever seen relies on some assumptions that don't make any logical sense. So do most proofs that god does not exist. In fact, the only proof about the existance of god that I've ever seen that makes any sense goes as follows:
Attempt to prove God (in the christian sense) does not exist: Assumptions: There is only one god (we will call it God). God does exist. God knows everything. Heaven exists. Heaven is by definition the place where people are happiest (if it wasn't, then there would be a better place). People exist who are going to heaven. At least one becomes more happy as he learns.
Proof: Let the name of said someone be Bob. Bob goes to heaven. Bob becomes in his happiest state. Hence, Bob has learned everything. Since Bob now knows everything, Bob knows as much as God. Hence Bob, with his infinite knowledge, is capable of doing everything (because he knows how). So Bob is equivilent to God. This contradiction means at least one of the assumptions is wrong.
Hence, at least one of the following is false: 1: There is only one god (we will call it God). 2: God does exist. 3: God knows everything. 4: Heaven exists. 5: Heaven is by definition the place where people are happiest. 6: People exist who are going to heaven. 7: At least one becomes more happy as he learns.
In other words either learning is a sin that doesn't allow you to get into heaven (#6 excludes everyone from #7), or the christian faith is a fallicy.
Since Assumption 7 can be changed to: Everyone becomes more happy as they learn (because they are capable of making themselves happier).
It would then be true that no one can get into heaven, or that one of assumptions 1-5 is false. If no one can get to heaven, then in the christian sense, heaven doesn't exist.
- It pleases me much more to assume God does not exist, than assuming that heaven does not exist, because if God exists and heaven does not, then our lives cannot have meaning, because God can change back whatever we have done, hence people do not ultimatly need to be responsible for what they do, because God can fix it. However, if God does not exist, then we are responsible for our own actions and for making things better for our own future.
finding bugs (and how to do a detailed bug report)
writing patches
using CVS/SVN
licensing issues
sharing code
inter-language prototyping (example, writing a quick example parser in perl to demonstrate how the final C++ version should work)
It is important to know how to get involved in an OSS piece of work. Often if you want to submit code, you first need to do bug stuff (writting patches and the sort). Then developers may let you in to the code itself (note I said might). Other times you simply have to ask. Either way you need to be familure with both the ticket system the project is using, and the code control system. Licenses are always important. Users of any system also need to know how to go about sharing code between projects(dealing with incompatible licenses, dealing with multiple languages, and dealing with people). Finally it is important to be able to quickly express your ideas (otherwise you get run over by someone who is faster at expressing a different idea).

Why Do You Block Ads?
·
· Score: 1
So, wait a sec. You are now willing to accept google ads because they don't do the nasty things that other ads do? Would you have always been willing to accept Google ads, or do you only accept them now (as you appear to imply) because you have seen the shit others throw at you?
I block every ad I've ever seen, and I have been doing so for quite a while. I started doing so with a hosts file several years ago (when I was still using IE). Then I switched to firefox and continued to use the host file. Sometime later I found adblock and now I have a large custom adblock plus filter combined with the host file (by now over 2 MB). I block almost every ad with the host file and I get rid of the resulting 404 pages and the rest of the ads with the adblock filter.
I run without a firewall, my ad-aware definitions are from march 2003 or so (and I haven't done a scan for a long time), and my computer is always online (I had an oc3 connection for the past 2 years and just got downgraded to cable in september).
I avoid offline ads as well, skipping them on television (with a pvr), on dvds (by ripping them), in magizines (by not reading any magazines), in newspapers (again by not reading them), on the radio (I don't listen to the radio), in movies (by making out with my girlfriend), at stores (I go into a store with a list of things to get, and walk out with the things on my list only), and etcetra.
The google ads are just as bad as any other advertisement online. Every single one is designed to divert your attention from somewhere that you want to look, to somewhere where someone wants to sell you something. If I want to buy something, I will look for that thing, not accept a calling to get it.
A Google ad is not a beautiful thing, it is something we have been beaten into the acceptance of (and I, for one, continue to refuse).

Very few see it as 100% secure in the academic crypto world; it is more like 56bit secure (can be cracked in under 3 minutes), 128bit secure (takes a long time to crack), 256bit secure (takes a very long time to crack), and more.
The closest you can get to 100% secure is to have your key as long as your message, and to destroy the key when you have encrypted the message and the reciever has the key (in the academic world we would call these one time pads). But even these are not 100% because you still need to worry about the key.

But Google doesn't see itself as competing to Microsoft. Microsoft revenue comes primarily from 2 sources: Windows and Office. Google's revenue comes only from one place: Ads.
If Google starts into PC applications, they become a direct competitor for Microsoft, and will only survive if they can outlast Microsoft(as Intuit did). That means continuously having a generation better product than what Microsoft is providing.
The only reason Google cares what we think is that advertizers might pull out of Google's program if they aren't finding it a good source of advertizing. As long as there are advertizers that can pay the bills, there will be innovation from Google.
Microsoft on the other hand used to care what the end user wanted. If users were using some other product it was obvious that the other product was better in some way. Microsoft has no reason to innovate without competition.

Each player has its own private key. The AES key used to read the cd is encoded with the player's public key and is placed on the dvd.
That means that the AES key must be encrypted with every public key. So while the every player holds a key, that key decodes the AES key on the player, not the movie itself.
