Anecdotal to be sure and heresay as well, but I have a friend who has tried this and just about every other recourse she can find, and Apple won't fix the problem. So, while I understand that this has worked for many people it doesn't always work.
Wouldn't it be easier to just have a series of repositories where you can say "I'm sending a package to {insert name}, please provide me one of his locks." You then lock your suitcase with the lock which the trusted source assures you is his, and send it. He then uses his key to unlock his lock and retrieve your information from the suitcase.
You could also eliminate the repository by arranging to exchange locks at some point in time. To verify that the package did indeed come from you you could even include one of your own locks in with the package before you secure the package with his lock.
Much easier than paying postage on one suitcase 3 times just to exchange some secure information.
In any case, it would be hard to do worse than the USN's first nuclear submarine design (lost with all hands when the reactor got damp on the proving run, a sad story of poor engineering)
Which submarine are you referring to? I was under the impression that the SSN-571 Nautilus was the USN's first nuclear sub, and that it was highly succesfull. Is there another USN nuclear submarine that I am unaware of?
I'm curious, do people in the US actually aim for a mere two second interval?
Not at all. From my experiences the target interval seems to be closer to 0.15 seconds (1 car length at 70 miles per hour (113km/h)).
Frequently I find people unable to keep quite this much distance between themselves and the car in front of them, though I fail to understand precisely why.
Another problem is most of the people I know are suprised when you tell them they should be 2 seconds behind the car in front of them, they all seem to think that 2 car lengths is what the test said, and that it was just a recommendation.
Legislate your morality elsewhere. I want to have 3 wives if i damn well please. And i want the government not to recognize marraige as a binding legal contract so they can't each steal half of my assets..... or so my sleazy neighbor can get his part-time-hooker benefits based on a Las Vegas priest's proclimation "I now pronounce you..."
Sounds good to me, with some caveats. I see no problem with you having 3, 4, ot 40 wives, assuming you and the wives like it that way. On a similar note, I see no problem with one of your wives having 3, 4, or 40 husbands, provided she, you, and the other husbands like it that way.
As to marriage being a binding contract, that's a good point too. The term "marriage" has a great many connotations, particularly religious or spiritual ones, to many people. This is fine, but has no place in a contractual obligation. Marriage should instead be treated as a private affair or ceremony with no real legal basis; leaving civil unions or other contracts available for legal purposes.
Basically just agreeing with you here, but we may have some differences when considering actual implementation and details.
Arizona, or atleast the Phoenix area seems to have a decent supply of Wii accessories. I can't find a Wii itself (though I was recently told Sunday morning there would be some available) but every store I've visited has had Wiimotes and/or Nunchuck as well as skins and the classic controler accessory.
Which release though? It's not that new Timespiral edition is it? Now, I can understand if they're using Beta or Unlimited edition, those had a lot of power without feeling silly. Once you've solved that dilemma though, you still have to figure out what type of deck they're using. obviously a storage deck will be artifact based, but what else is in it?
Since the lines "E:..." and "S:..." seem to occur around mathematical notations I would assume they stood for "Exponent" and "Subscript"; where "Exponent" is really "Superscript" since not all the "E:" values are valid exponents. "C:..." being for comments seems correct, and "M:..." for code looks right though what "M" actually stands for is unclear.
The OP clearly stated "No way Jose" in response to "From TFA: By around 43 AD Rome had conquered most of the Celtic lands," and then tried to assert that "The Romans never touched Ireland, and they left Scotland to the Scots..." proved his point. T
he response to that included a map showing that the Romans did indeed conquer the majority of the lands controlled by the Celts, with the exception of Scotland and Ireland.
So, yes the OP is correct in the observation about Scotland and Ireland, but incorrect in contradicting TFA's observation of the Romans conquering a majority of the Celtic lands.
Technically, at any given time, aren't there a maximum of roughly 6 billion unique gamer types? a large number sure, but infinitely smaller than infinity.
The original only listed "Cosmologists" once, but the cosmologists couldn't all agree that they beloged in the same group, and a fraction of them demanded that they be listed as "cosmologists" while the remainder required they be instead listed as "cosmologists".
And no one utters anything that fucking stupid unless they're pushing an agenda, or a lawyer, or both.
I would think pushing lawyers would be illegal. Based on the performance of various corporations they seem to be a harmfully addictive substance with definite negative ramifications.

Was this "mechanic" Firestone, by any chance? Because that sounds a lot like other experiences I've heard involving that company and older vehicles.

Who's the real slashdotter-simulating quantum computer here? Not I. Not I.
No, but I hear NetBSD can be made to work

He -is- one of the best archers to ever live, and with a little magical oomf from Skeeve, I bet Ajax could do something about bird flu viruses.
Do you have a source for that? It sounds like a good read, but I don't see anything on a quick google or wikipedia check.

I'm just waiting for the /. story about /. having stories about /. stories.
Wait... a dense point for a head?
Wouldn't that qualify as a singularity?
You can create a link in a post just like any hyperlink in HTML:
<a href="URL"> Text to display </a>
would create: Text to Display
note: if you don't specify the URL properly then slashdot will prefix it with "http://_category_.slashdot.org/"
This will work even when posting in Plain Old Text mode.
