I'm not diabetic, but I do get hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) quite easily. Sugar does act very quickly in those circumstances, but then the danger becomes dehydration (which, BTW, can cause hypoglycemia... see the pattern?).
A few? Try a lot. And that's only if it's possible to put off breeding; millions of years of human experience suggests that the sex drive is stronger than any barrier society can erect (pun intended).
From where I am, getfirefox.com isn't blocked, and we're under WebSense. Granted, I know nothing about its configuration options (anyone have a link?), but I'm pretty sure we're using a dfeault setup.
Because I'm too lazy to set a clock, especially when DST rolls around (and I don't live in Indiana). Because then I can set computer alarms and not wonder whether the alarm isn't going off because the non-computer clock is 5 minutes fast or because something broke.
If you're locked out of installing stuff & changing Control Panel options, you can still do a few things to make it better. I've installed both Firefox (with a shitload of extensions) and Openoffice.org on my network drive, even though you usually can't install stuff on the user accounts where I am. Firefox needs to be set up as portable firefox (Google it), but other than that, it works great.
It sucks, though, when the program you're using requires that you access C:\ to use plugins... most folders are accessible through the start menu bug, but a few of them are actually (amazingly, given how the techs @ my school usually do things) locked down.
I can definitely see giving people some way to contact their elected officials. But judges deal every day with both the innocent and the guilty. Many of the latter have already demonstrated a willingness to commit violent crimes, yet judges don't have anywhere near the protection we give to other elected officials. I'm not sure we have the budget to give them all body guards, but preventing their addresses from being public knowledge would be helpful. You don't need to give out your address to be reachable - and when you deal with a population that has higher numbers of psychopaths than the general population, caution is a good thing.
I'm not sure how I feel about John Q Public's address being posted, but certainly I think it's a bad idea to post a judge's home address (and maybe even other elected officials). Note the Lefkow case recently...
And if you trip? Or (as has happened to me a few times) your wheelchair stalls in the doorway? Or a stubborn young child doesn't want to come with their parent? Or... I don't think I need to continue.
In short, shit happens. There should always be a mechanism so the door stops automatically if an electric eye or a pressure sensor notes an obstruction. Now, a long enough delay should probably summon human intervention, but the doors should never just close.
That's a bit out of context... it's not that he's necessarily against reverse engineering; it's just that BK feels that reverse engineering *their* product is causing them problems. This is prohibited by the EULA, I think, but whether or not such a contractual clause is valid, BK is under no obligation to keep providing the free version. So it's not necessarily that he's condemning RE in general, just saying it doesn't work for them.
And I was there from Thursday to Sunday. Not saying it didn't happen, just that it wasn't very obvious. The a capella choirs' concert (the closing event) was hacked though - a banner dropped down with some pictures of beavers & such. It read, "MIT: more dome for your dollar, more beaver for your [can't remember], more bang for your buck".
The idea is so simple, and should have been an option in the actual flash itself: the thing doesn't load unless you click on it and say so. Most things should be like that, or be able to be set like that, and it's annoying when a company wants to control your property in such a fashion.
I am *very* glad it isn't part of Flash! If it was, companies wanting to advertise would find some other form of moving advertising that I would have to figure out how to block; this way, since the block isn't a default option, most people don't use it, and so those of us who use the blocker aren't enough of a target to worry about.
Erm... you aren't *supposed* to obey the Declaration of Independence; there's nothing in it to obey! It's the Constitution you're thinking of. The Declaration is simply a declaration of "we think the King is an asshole; therefore, we are no longer British citizens, and this is no longer British territory".
True, but RFLP detection of risk factors (which I did in H.S. bio) is possible, and if they have the DNA sample anyway, it's not too far a jump to doing sequencing fairly soon down the road.
Wrong. It can tell if you have certain risk factors. I have a rare disorder that was diagnosed (well, the diagnosis was confirmed) two ways: urinalysis (to detect byproducts left behind because of an enzyme deficiency) and DNA sequencing. The same principle applies to other health issues; people can be tested for risk factors for cancer and heart disease, or for signs if Huntington's, and myriad other health problems.

The kernel may be bloated, but it's not that bloated. Yet.

He'd probably say, "I don't know. Uh ... the last one before Linus stopped using BitKeeper, I think".

Heh. I hate Clippy, but I would definitely pay a couple bucks to replace it with a Hannibal Lecter-type character.
I think it's more likely that fundies would be annoyed that their idea of a Supreme Being is being poked at.

Erm ... they aren't autonomous, they still need to be controlled by a human operator.

I sure fooled everyone in the audience... heehee!
... fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... uh ... can't get fooled again!
There's a saying in Tennessee - have it in Texas, probably Tennesee, too
Most people can't understand that, coma or not.
You've gotta be kidding me - who chose an acronym that can be expanded as "ASS Proxy"?!
And what if you've been joe jobbed?
