People would rebel if they had to "register with their municipality" for no compelling reason, even after several years of Homeland Security.
So in the US one can just "arrive" somewhere, move in a random house and everything is ok for the Government? They don't need to know where to send your tax letter or anything? Strange.
Actually that is the answer to "can anyone beat the stock martket any time he wants to?". Economy is more than the stock market. It is about the importance of creating jobs, being competitive with other countries, import and export, government control (or lack thereof) on the banking system,... etc. The president of the US is not supposed to make a few bucks on the stock market, but to get the US economy going again.
This does not surprise me too much. Last year the glue on an envelope also emitted a blueish light as I opened it (without tearing the paper). I already wondered if this was a know effect.
...with only a plate of steel behind the motherboard. This should *increase* the EMI (read: ground plane [wikipedia.org])
In antenna designs the presence of a ground plane increases the radiation in certain directions while lowering it in others (most notably the direction of the ground plane itself). The total amount of radiated power is not increased (ignoring effects of possible improved antenna matching). Your PC is no antenna, designed to radiate (though it will). The influence of the ground plane will be very unpredictable.
gain, it is physically impossible to take a recording that has two sopranoes on the same track, and seprarating that track into two individual voices.
Actually this is non completely impossible. Using special DSP techniques (adaptive filtering and SVD) a digital system can try to decompose a stream into several sources. This doesn't work perfectly, e.g. if the two sopranos would be producing exactly the same sinusoidal tone, they cannot be isolated. Similar techniques are being used in hearing aids (not talking crap here, I worked as a phd student in a DSP lab where similar things were being done).
This aside, it is indeed impossible to do such separation using only analog circuitry, let alone just speakers. The only thing that comes close is when the recording was done using multiple microphones. In that case some analog processing
(beamforming etc) may separate different voices on different tracks, and the audio field may be regenerated using multiple speakers.
I don't understand why such an obvious false claim (by the GG..GP) is modded up.
This would expose yourself and possible terminate your business. A real psychic and a smart one would use these powers secretly and predict the lottery a few times or so.
The study hasn't been peer reviewed, it's a new and relatively untested technology, what the hell are they doing admitting it at all, as testimony or as evidence
If say the US didn't like what you're doing they can just sail on up and do whatever they want with you. They could certainly board and seize any such vessel, after all who's going to object? In theory there might be some construction of maritime law that provides some protections, but without a government capable of objecting you're basically SOL.
How is this different from any other situation where the US wants to use military force?
This depends on your definition of "connecting". They didn't (literally) chain people together either. But they provided many standards that "connected" people, such as their Office suite. And maybe they implemented a widely used stack of the TCP/IP. In a world where 80% (this is a wild guess) of the population are using software frome one company it is hard to deny they are "connecting" people on one or other level.
Everywhere is the place where you learn to deal nicely with incompetent people. A university even more so because the things you do there are usually less critical than in "real-life".
Nice idea. What's more likely: being a super high-profile dude that agents are sent upon, or not getting a job because your potential employer found pictures of you binge drinking?
Why the f*ck is this rated insightful? "Funny" doesn't render karma, but "underrated" also exists. Smothering your personal info all over the place might be a bad idea, but doing so in a bar is infinitely less dangerous than doing it on the www where every future employer/mother in law can find you back years later.
Even is China would be the world's Nr 1 polluter (which they may very well be, I dunno), this is mostly because of making all kinds of crap we now let them make for us because it pollutes too much to do it in the Western world, or it's too unhealty to work in such a factory etc. And we want them to make it cheap. No problem if they pollute their own rivers, but oh my if it reaches us...
Well, you can just write them a polite email informing that you use the domain and it is not up for sale. However if they really need the domain, and are willing to recompensate you for the hassle of moving to another domain, you would be willing to help them out.
"It's not for sale, except if you offer me big $$$". What does that make you? Not respectable, I would say. Nothing against selling the name in itself, but don't play childish games (the only reason for which is fear of legal trouble, apparently).
Only in the US could such a simple situation (one party wants to buy, the other wants to sell) be complicated by the fear of losing a lawsuit. (I know, say something bad about the US of A and be modded down, so be it.)
Prison is not like a hotel or a dorm. Even hard boiled geeks want to leave their house/parent's basement every now and then. Take a journey. See other countries.
Did you really say that? Since when does the validity of a particular religious belief have anything to do with the relevance of a 2000-year-old document?
Because it might not be a 2000 year old document but a 1700 year old engineered document.

Indeed. Maybe the ratio would even be closer to 1 if the linux models had been in stock.

A tie goes well with any suit.

I remember being amazed that you couldn't swap keyboards/mice on a Sun.
I remember not only being amazed, first time I encountered this...

Maybe it's convenient for them?

That bottle sticking out of your coat during the job interview may also have given it away a bit...
Those were the days. I remember my brother taking his new eprom-based mp3-player to the beach and leaving it in the sun... those were the days.

Now let's hope some fellow inmate does what needs to be done, and puts an end to this vile piece of garbage.
You mean take Reiserfs out of the kernel?
Unless you want your peers to know what cool kind of geek you are.
All I know is it is fast. This is a huge win in my book. I am really tired of finishing before my standard hard drive can seek out my porn.
Why don't you give it a head start?
Did you really say that? Since when does the validity of a particular religious belief have anything to do with the relevance of a 2000-year-old document?
Because it might not be a 2000 year old document but a 1700 year old engineered document.
Because an AC gives some snippets of info?
