I'm not sure if it will help him, but I think that just the fact that he is there trying to make an effort to be heard is a good thing, even if it is not popular or illegial.
I use my gmail for all the "Enter email" signups on websites, and all the spam goes right to the spam filter, so my real mail still stays squeaky clean.
What I mean is that I would manipulate it, not necessarily embrace it. I would try and exploit it, not open the source to windows. Not just try and blow it off the face of the earth like they are now.
Actually, if I was Microsoft, I would try and manipulate free software in a way beneficial to me and make as much money as possible off of it, instead of trying to kill a potentially huge source of revenue.
Looks like that hole in the Ozone over Antartica might actually be good for something, giving us a better look at the stars. All you people who are worried about global warming, don't worry, I see benefits on the horizon for all!
Because half the fun in trying out cool stuff is thinking up the idea yourself, then trying to put your idea into a physical (or binary) representation. This magazine would take out all the fun.
Actually, its said that the first report is usually the most accurate, because after that government involved, such as police, usually alter the reporter's view or tell them what they can say or not say.

Assault Weapons Ban
·
· Score: 1
Obviously guns don't cause people to shoot each other, there are more complex reasons for it. That said, however, it's the access to high-capacity weapons (like the ones that were banned) that enables these folks to go out and kill half their highschool. Preventing gun makers from building these guns obviously makes it tougher for people to get them, which is a Good Thing -- nobody has a legitimate reason for owning a 30 round clip.
But the Columbine shooting happened during the Clinton Administration AFTER the assault weapons ban was in place. If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.
Parties and factions are not the same. No matter how many parties you have, the system will goto crap because people in a party are more loyal to the party than to the country. The constitution was designed for temporary FACTIONS, which is where politicans get together on a certian issue, and then dissassemble as soon as that issue has been resolved.
seriously, when are they going to realize that P2P isnt hurting anything.
this will likely be spun as "look how well our lawsuits are working, people are actually buying music again"
Except for they were still buying music the whole time.
Maybe the BMI could tell us something we couldn't figure out for ourselves. We know the music artists aren't starving, its not too hard to figure out when they are driving around H2's and flashing their bling-bling.
Good, but add to that list: waterproof. I have lost soo many devices to accidential spills. And I love kyaiking and offroading in wet weather, so if it was waterproof I could take my mini-computer along too.
So what your saying, is that they are creating another layer ontop of Ethernet? Well then I don't see how it could be backwards compatiable, unless this behavior could be turned off when it is being used with older equipment.
Well, the problem with radio signals is that they degrade so fast, and the fact that what we transmit will probably not be intelligible to any foreign species, they may get the drift that we are semi-intelligent, but probably not enough information to decipher where we are from or our purpose. With physical artifacts, as long as the beings can see visible light, there is a good chance that they can get a good jist of what we are trying to convey. We can draw pictures of humans and animals and plants on our planet, and possible draw basic symbols and graphs to make out basic mathematical concepts, and possibly the general location of Earth. While it would be much more difficult to locate a physical object than a radio signal, the short range of a radio way probably makes it impractical for long distance communication in space. Of course, there is the possibility of physical objects degrading with time, but with proper materials this should be pretty limited.
A collision refers to when two differnet inputs to an algorithm compute out to the same encrypted string, such as inputing HI and HEY into MD5 and them both coming out to YJFPSL(complete BS). If this is possible, then it is easier for someone to reverse a hash to the plaintext because there is a link between the HI and HEY in the algorithm, and with that knowledge it is easier to reverse the hash.
This may be incomplete or inaccurate, as I don't study cryptography for a living or as a hobby, so anyone who knows better correct me.

You, my friend, are an idiot. You're right, there is too much at stake in this election to vote for either Kerry or Bush.
I'm not sure if it will help him, but I think that just the fact that he is there trying to make an effort to be heard is a good thing, even if it is not popular or illegial.
A BBC article on a U.S. court ruling? Maybe you could include a link to a U.S. based news source to balance that out.

But every race could detect the nukes being launched, so each race had their own voice for the nuke detection, even if they didn't launch it.

You could build a computer with those specs for about $3,000, what are they charging $2,000 for the case?
Thank you for your insight.

Except for most people don't trust their friends with their information, even if it was encrypted.

I think he was refering to the fact that Scotty was on the first Star Trek, not that there was a replacement for him in another series or season.
Happens in Mozilla 1.7 too, so its not just firefox.
Why are the moderators modding you as troll? Has slashdot gotten that bad?
DUPEDUPEDUPEDUPEDUPE, it was last week too, damn are you guys that lazy?
