    here's a dumb function that bruteforces the tests: f = function(d) { if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, false, true], [false, false, false] ]) || Util.equals(d, [ [ true, false], [false, false], [false, false] ]) || Util.equals(d, [ [false, true], [false, false], [false, true] ]) || Util.equals(d, [ [false, true, false], [false, false, false], [ true, false, true] ])) { swapRows(d, 0, 1); } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, false], [ true, false], [false, false] ])) { swapRows(d, 1, 2); } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, true, false, false], [ true, false, false, true], [false, false, false, true] ])) { d[0] = [false, false, false, false]; d[1] = [false, false, false, true]; d[2] = [ true, true, false, true]; } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [true, false], [false, true], [false, true] ])) { d[0][0] = !d[0][0]; d[1][0] = !d[1][0]; } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, true], [ true, false], [ true, false] ]) || Util.equals(d,[ [false, true, false, true, false], [false, false, true, false, true], [ true, false, true, false, true] ])) { d[0][1] = !d[0][1]; d[1][1] = !d[1][1]; } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, true, false, true], [ true, false, true, false], [ true, false, false, true] ])) { d[0] = [false, false, false, false]; d[1] = [ true, true, false, true]; d[2] = [ true, false, true, true]; } else if (Util.equals(d,[ [false, true], [false, false], [ true, false], [ true, false] ])) { d[0][1] = !d[0][1]; d[2][1] = !d[2][1]; } } function swapRows(d,i,j) { var t = d[i]; d[i] = d[j]; d[j] = t; }

    As far as I know, this technique has long been in use. ~4 years ago, some school students stole a bunch of large plasma tv's from a couple of UConn classrooms and were caught by local authorities shortly after because the TVs were found for sale on ebay.

    Non tech-savvy users have no reason to switch. It's sort of like driving a shitty car, it gets you from A to B, which is essentially what any better car will do.

    Viruses, exploits, glitches? The people who don't know about firefox are the same people who don't run into those problems, because they go to yahoo to check the email and to tvguide.com to check the listings (for instance). That's it. For things that simple "reliability" of the browser adds almost nothing.

    ...let's review the procedure for obtaining broadband in the U.S. Step #1: Call up your cable or DSL provider, walk through the options, and decide what you want. Step #2: Receive and install the modem, or have an installer do it for you. Step #3: There is no Step #3!

    Huh? I rather assumed Step #3 would be "profit".

    Yahoo's POP3 seems to have a catch to it. A friend of mine uses it, and always complains that spam filtered by Yahoo if you check mail via a browser is NOT filtered if you download the mail via POP3. as a matter of fact, he often has multiple instances of the same piece of junk mail come in in a row. generally he gets about 400 of those per day, and he has to sift through them to find the 5 or so good messages.

    There are numerous benefits to negative charged ions, such as an improvement in productivity, task performance, relief for asthma, wound healing, plus improvement of reaction time and endurance. Numerous scientists from many countries provide the following evidence: 1) Surrey University conducted research at the Norwich Union Insurance Groups Headquarters. Negative ion generators were fitted in the computer and data preparation section. RESULTS Incidence of headaches in computer room were reduced by 78 percent. Task performance improved 28 percent. 2) Russian Scientists studied groups of athletes under laboratory conditions for one month. One group trained with negative ions and the other trained under normal conditions. The negative ion group Reaction time shortened by 22 milliseconds Balance increased 370% - 393% Increased their endurance 240% The unaided control group Reaction time shortened by 11 milliseconds Balance increased by 53% - 132% Increased their endurance 7% - 24% yeah, there's some pretty good x-ion q&a . they talk about why ions are good for you

    That just takes you back to segregation. no, no it doesn't. segregation is the use of force in order to separate or isolate groups. he's not talking about forcing people to like different things, he's talking about people naturally liking differing things (ie: nationalism, a pride in one's background).
