If you consider intellectual property law to define the value, sometimes the value lies in the idea itself (patents, for example, where someone independently coming up with the same idea still has to licence it from you), whereas in other cases the value lies in the expression of the idea (copyright).
Or, for instance, what if I tap out the message "I want to *** the President" (censored for moronic yet obvious reasons) in Morse code on my table top? The existence of the message in physical form outside of my head is only temporary.
If you disucss killing the President with someone, the message only exists temporarily, but you're still committing conspiracy.
They should be sending messages via a human courrier who memorizes messages. Its slow, but what do they care? They waited years to kill themselvs the first time - anything that reveals their locations is a huge risk
Like someone regularly catching a plane to Kabul and hiking North?
Java does have polymorphism (and it's getting a more expressive type system - F-bounded parametric polymorphism). Let-polymorphism doesn't define polymorphism.
Also, while it doesn't have algebraic datatypes and pattern matching in the way SML does, you can get something very similar that using the Visitor pattern.
As for tuple and sum types - hardly difficult.
I agree that the functional style is nice, but just because it's more obviously done with a functional language isn't to say it can't be done with Java. Quite a bit of the util package I've written consists of functional classes, including some which deals with polymorphic higher-order functions.
Sure, but if you want a non-in-place version in C, you have to introduce mallocs and error handling for malloc returning zero. Hardly helps make things clearer.
Just why your countrymen choose to keep the dubious plural identifier is beyond me... the singular form of the word doesn't exist, hence it can be dropped in the shortened form.
By that reasoning, why don't you drop the plural in the longer form too?
Moreover it frees us to speak of multiple varieties of math (i.e. maths).
I'm curious - what do you mean by "multiple varieties"? Branches, as in "Analysis is a math. Geometry is a math. Analysis and geometry are maths"? When I think of variations in mathematics, I tend to see them as specific - you can have a number of set theories, or a number of modal logics - but they all fall within the single mathematics.
Mind you, I haven't noticed public confidence in the British electoral system plummeting since the Guardian published an article on vote-rigging in Britain in 2001. This could be because no-one reads the Guardian.

Although I must admit I haven't tried viewing it in lynx to see whether adding in some colour contrast makes the site navigable.

Dijkstra with heuristics, basically. Google a-star algorithm.
Tamper proof? Riiight.
(Seriously, for the benefit of a non-American, what does it abbreviate in this context?)
Come across spam stego?
The web? HTML doesn't take much capacity, but images are generally large files.
What do you mean by "modern filtering"? Regex text matches, or something I'm not missing because I've never come across it?
Copyright protects against copying, not against independent creation.
No, the article on LISP is here.

Depends on your matrices. If you assume dense matrices, the proof is trivial: you can't output Theta(n^2) numbers in less than Theta(n^2) time.

Maths, statistics and spelling.
It's not accurate. Line X was a department, not a network.
No, the article's confusing you - Line X wasn't the name of a network, but rather of a branch of KGB.
