Maybe you should learn to ignore crappy magazines like newsweek who just wanted a catchy title. The rewards program is for standardized tests, not grades given in the classroom.
I thought the "computer date glitch" was when you meet some hot little 20-something on match.com but she turns out to be an overweight 45 year old named "Bruno"
I haven't watched baseball in a while(I'm from Pittsburgh, so maybe that explains why:P) but on a recent trip to Japan I was in Hiroshima and heard that you just HAVE to see a Hiroshima Carp game. So I plunked down the 2000 yen to get a pretty good seat on a bench(there are security guards there whose job it is to find people seats) and was amazed at just how much fun baseball really could be. From the cheers to the fast pace of the game(9 innings only took 2 hours and some change IIRC) it was an environment I had never seen in the US. It was organized chaos.
Granted, the players in the US are probably better than the Japanese players, but damn the Japanese games are much more fun to watch.
Because if you RTFA, it's about people who don't want to listen to XM radio but have the signal they are listening to(such as NPR) overridden by someone who is broadcasting XM from their decoder.....it would have taken you what, 3 seconds to read the summary?
Have you ever set up a wiki before? You can use mediawiki to set who can view what(mostly using namespaces) so if you are smart about not everything is viewable to everyone. Not to mention being open source allows them to modify their code. And who ever said a wiki had to be remotely accessible? If an agent needs info on the run you can just make a pdf and encrypt it, otherwise the wiki would be as secure as everything else in their network. Finally, who ever said anything about "one database" In the article it mentions something about Nigeria, so Nigeria may have it's own database. Saudi Arabia another etc.
As per key loggers and whatnot, wikis are no more in danger of being compromised than other data management systems. Interpret that however you like.
What about things like emails from graduate schools? I am applying right now and a lot of the communication comes from places I have never emailed before(I apply on the web and they send me an email confirmation and an email of the results, usually from different addresses). Should admissions secretaries be inundated with captchas? There are thousands of sites like that, I think that most people would find the cure worse than the disease.
So what about prime factoring? Well, a huge amount of email nowadays isn't even sent to pcs, it is sent to cell phones. Not the device I would want to be factoring primes on. "Oh my leg is burning, must mean I'm getting a new email". Furthermore, it would do nothing to stop botnets since they would just be forced to use more of other people's CPU power....
But what are China's long term plans for North Korea? They cannot keep this regime teetering on the brink forever. It seems like they have tried to prod Kim Jong Il into some Deng Xiaoping-esque reforms with special economic zones and whatnot, but then without warning the North Koreans will either scrap the program altogether or severely reduce it. How can China bring about a gradual change to a more sustainable North Korea? Is it even possible?
Nobody wants an overnight reunification like happened in Germany because although the East German economy was dilapidated, it wasn't nearly as bad as the North Korean economy. Though one big thing preventing such a reunion is the DMZ. Germans just had a wall, there are tons and tons of land mines between the Koreas. So how can you convince a person who resists change with every bone in his body to adopt gradual reform? The other option is for Kim to meet an unfortunate "accident" but that would just expedite the collapse, not to mention run a significant chance of war(conventional or nuclear).
Kim Jong Il is aware that the only person who can win in this situation is Kim Jong Il, and he is playing his hand well(well meaning good for him, obviously not good for his people or the world community)
I don't know, that doll was pretty creepy. Maybe the advertisers are making it part of a campaign that will climax with: "buy a ps3 or this doll will come and kill you in your sleep"
It's even more pronounced in Japan as one of the lowest birth rates in the world combined with very low immigration rates and incredibly long lifespans have ensured that the 65+ crowd is a huge demographic there. Europe will be a somewhat similar boat in about 10-15 years, everyone is going to be after "grey money" if you will. Now for young people like me, I just wonder what the best investments would be to take advantage of this demographic shift....
No, it will pretty much sit there and get hit repeatedly with a plastic object traveling at a decent speed, probably knocking it off whatever stand it was on, which will then cause the user to have to go out and buy a new console. Thus the reason this controller was introduced.
Um, you missed the entire point. The Bush administration is claiming it's war on terror is saving lives. If he was truly interested in saving lives then he would put less money into fighting in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and more money at home trying to prevent car accidents or at the very least enforcing higher safety standards on cars(*cough*ban SUVs *cough) and maybe putting more money into some decent drivers education. But Bush isn't interested in saving lives, he is interested in his own little "projects" if you will, and using terrorism as an excuse to execute them.
The point is that the United States government is overreacting to 9/11. We need to fight terrorism, but that should be part of the larger goal of fighting all causes of death. Bush likes to use the term "safer". "America is safer since 9/11" etc. However, America may be safer from the threat of terrorism, but the larger picture remains: Americans are far from "safe" Hell, even homicides that don't involve airplanes claim more lives in the United States than died on 9/11. Where is the "war on homicide"? Where is the "war on obesity"? 40,000 people each year in the United States contract HIV. Where is the "war on HIV"? How about a "war on hunger" because despite the fact that the United States is the richest country in the world, more people go to bed hungry in the US than in the rest of the industrialized world combined. I don't see "wars" on any of these things, and yet they all pose greater dangers to the United States and it's citizens then terrorists ever would.
I found it funny and sad to see people cruising down to the local Wal-Mart in their roll-over prone SUV while not wearing a seat belt to buy duct tape because Tom Ridge said that it would help in a chemical attack. I'm sorry, but the much bigger risk to life and limb comes from that behemoth you are driving, not a fictional chemical attack.
Um, tell me exactly how much money is being spent each year to stop highway accidents or to stop drunk driving compared to what is being spent on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and homeland security? The point of the OPs and my stats are that the reaction is way out of proportion to the crime committed. Maybe if the government had a "war on traffic accidents" we would all be a lot better off.....no wait scratch that. If it went anything like the war on terror then there would be MORE traffic accidents every year. Maybe it is a good thing the Bush administration is ignoring it.
Re your stat, actually the number of fatalities on America's highways is about 40k. Drunk driving alone is involved with 17k a year
To put it into perspective, since 9/11, about 30x as many people died because of drunk drivers than died in the attacks. Don't get me wrong, the attacks were brutal and I'm sure the guys who were piloting the planes didn't reach the heaven they thought they were reaching, but as a nation we are overreacting.....
And yet couldn't you argue that almost(but by no means all) cases of HIV are caused by a lack of self control? If you can't keep your pants on or put a little piece of latex on your genitals before going at it, wouldn't you call that a lack of self control?
Water on earth tends to get "recycled" constantly: sea water evaporates makes clouds which make rain which eventually gets into rivers which go back out to the ocean etc. If Mars was covered with water, where did this water go?

Tomoaki Nakamura, 41, said: "I've been waiting for this day to come for so long. I'll play it all through the weekend. No time for meals."
Well, I guess that shows who Sony's demographics are, 41 year old men who put gaming ahead of basic biological function. Take that Maslow!
text speak? Such as "u r an 1d10t" or "u fail it"
As if a thousand geeks all made the same damn "last post!" joke at once. . . . . .
I would suggest we make a thread for just such jokes but....
Yes, but then you exclude southern Republicans from using your site!

I dunno dude, a multilingual radioactive cell phone blog about comic book heros who profile sex predators does sound pretty cool.

Can we include just "congress" in your pyre as well?
Oh hi friendly federal agent, of course I would love a cuban vacation let me just pa.............
Remember kids, congress is better than you! Do everything they say without question.
