I think the real trick is to display a work of art, while concealing said art, while also not allowing the act of concealing to turn into art itself. It seems to me that many would consider the "performance" of concealing the poem a work of art in itself.
I also have a hard time stating that "bad art" is "not art". And I struggle over whether "not art" can be "accidental art".
Anyone else think the whole BSG storyline would have been a lot more interesting if the time between the 1st Cylon war and the current series had been something like a few hundred years? Maybe even a few thousand?
See, I already thought of that, so I run no fewer than 5 generations behind.
I started at 1, but realized that soon this practice would become widespread and then I'd be back to being an early adopter. So I moved to 2 generations. But then a friend agreed with my plan and I saw that in not too very long I'd be an early adopter again with my 2 gen old system. Not this time! I skipped the 3 and 4 generation delay and went right to the 5 generation wait time. I figured it was the only way to be sure I wouldn't get hit by any bugs.
Shoot, now the secret's out. Time to roll back my filesystem again.
So vote, it doesn't matter who or why, just go to the polls so you get a sticker which gives your uninformed opinion the weight it didn't have before.
you're not entitled to complain
See above.
you'll have several years to regret it
But who cares? You voted, you're free to complain.
Vote if you actually agree with one of the candidates. Voting for the "lesser of 2 evils" is still voting for evil. Voting outside of the 2 main parties isn't throwing your vote away. If you do go to the polls and don't know anything about any of the presidential / local candidates, don't vote for that position. If you do go to the polls and don't know anything about the state and local measures, don't vote for that question.
Casting an uninformed vote is worse than being informed and making the decision not to vote. At least the non-voter didn't waste any time at the polls casting votes they didn't truly believe in. And the uninformed voter truly wasted their vote.
There's still time to actually read up on the candidates and their positions. Look at the state and local level as well. Find a copy of your local ballot and at least read the questions you'll be voting on. Research them further, they're rarely written clear enough to be informed solely on the 1 or 2 sentence description.
So there are so many stars out there we shouldn't be here because a supernova should have destroyed us already or colliding galaxies are so numerous that they actually collide. But you also argue that this doesn't happen and even give the reason, space is so vast and the actual density of galaxies low enough that these collisions don't happen. And you ignore the fact that our star won't kill us for several billion years because we know enough about stars to make that kind of prediction.
The one thing I'll give you is that there isn't enough evidence to conclude ubiquitous civilizations. But I'd put more money on that than I do on the idea that we're the ONLY habited planet or that the number is incredibly low. The odds just don't sound right to me. Then again, statistics have that funny habit of supporting extreme possibilities, so being alone in the universe can't be ruled out.
Other life isn't meaningless either. There's the philosophical value for one, but if even communication is possible (even at extreme time lines) there's value to be gained.
I have an Eee 901. It has 1GiB of RAM and 20GB of disk space. A swap partition on the 'twice your RAM' rule would be far from trivial.
No, 2GB (or 2GiB for you crazy) is still trivial. If you're running into space issues where 2GB is a big issue you need to get some additional storage. That's the answer pretty much whenever you get near 15 or 20 percent remaining space. If it's a laptop, as in your case, it means you at least need some large drive at home, perhaps hanging of a desktop or router.

Good Email For Kids?

Neither of which requires that they have their own e-mail address.
When I was 5 I got letters from grandparents and other family members. I also didn't have my own street address and, unless asked to, probably didn't check the mail box on my own. Those letters went to my parents address and were probably even addressed to them in some circumstances.
If you really want, I'd suggest setting up an address for the kid and not yet telling them the password. At 5 it's not like they should be using the computer without supervision anyway.
Basic physics explains that anything inside the sphere will receive an equal pull from all directions. I'll assume it's clear why this is the case if you're in the very center. If you're anywhere else the proportion of mass on one side of you balances out with the distance. Even if you are really close to one side of the sphere the mass is incredibly low compared to the sum of the mass on the other side of you, even given the distance between you and the other side.
Also, "google gravistar" yields 1 link on the first page that don't look like game or screen name references. That link is a passing reference used as a literary comparison. Adding "black hole" doesn't exactly bring forth the published papers I would have expected.
Finally, whenever I see "Research it on your own, but", my skeptic helmet comes on. It's the/. equivalent of "I'll get modded down for this, but". I'm not blinded to the intent in either case.
Any reputable links to start off our "own research"?
Really though I think the rationale comes across as the belief that the content isn't worth the asking rate, so taking it for free is OK. I think it's reasonably arguable that the proper action would be to just not buy the item. Otherwise you're dealing with an item that is so worthless that it's not worth buying, yet so valuable that it's worth violating the copyright. If the content owner isn't willing to offer the item on the terms that you desire, it doesn't give you the right to procure it by different means.
My understanding is that being named a judge removes the individual from the case (continuing work would clearly constitute a conflict of interest), but their name remains on any pertinent documents relating to cases which were begun in their domain.
Seems like instead of a trap there needs to be a mechanism to override the back action and deal with it as appropriate. Or is that what was originally meant by "trap"?

Finally, it also gives them a way to move into the iPhone market *if* they can get a purchase app on the iPhone.
Hmmm, unlikely.
It would probably duplicate functionality
Mmmm... vendor perl.
