Just apply a charge to a conductive body. The charge will dissipate across the entire surface of the body. Without the ability to channel or control electricity it will never be useful.
Normally, me too. But I don't think they have much to worry about on this one. It was actually good enough that I will go see it this weekend.
Normally, all the pirated movies I watch are crap. It makes me glad I never went to the movies and paid for it. Ya know how hard it is to get your money back at the movies? They act like most movies havn't been so totally overhyped in advertising that it's impossible not to feel let down when you realize it's just more Hollywood crap.
However, this one has some good whoop-ass. The story is the mother of all ad-hoc rationalizations, but hey, it's loads better than Jar-Jar Binks.

Part of development will surely focus on anti-satellite / anti-enemy-space-weapon weapons. If we could produce lots of limpet mine micro-sats with a bit of delta v, they could seek and attach to targets barnacle style and simply wait for the day a detonation command is given.
Plants aren't gonna solve this. ISS started with 3 of the last Elektron units in the world. Company is gone, genius who tuned and tweaked every flight unit is dead and never passed on his trade secrets. Each Elektron unit puts out 1900 liters of oxygen per day. You would need some kind of turbine plant to spew air like that.
The three Elektron units on board the space station are the last of their kind. The company that manufactured them has gone out of business, and the engineer who almost single-handedly made the final adjustments of flight units died several years ago. Reportedly he retained some "trade secret" about the final adjustments of the devices -- and it died with him.
Wikipaedia says America will have replacement units similar to the mighty Soviet era Elektrons around 2008.
[BBC is] "the most important cultural institution in Britain and, arguably, the World" (ref. Modern British History, M. Garnett and R. Weight ISBN 1-844-13104-1)
And you want season two of 'Buffy'? The world can be a sad place sometimes.
What I get from TFA is that they found this exploit earlier, and set about leaving their mark in posted files. It specificaly says there is no evidence that they had any ill intentions towards the SSN's themselves.
It's not like stealing a TV, more like telling your neighbor that their door lock doesn't work by leaving such a note inside the door, and demonstrating the weakness for them when they ask you to. At which point you call the cops and bust them. OK, maybe valid, but not quite as bad as you said.
So "not that bad" that I bet they get a fine. And some killer jobs on graduation.
Then let me protect these kids (sort of).
If they are in high school, they are most likely minors. So they were not looking at Leavenworth. They may well have looked up the maximum sentence and wagered that sentence against the value of comp security infamy in future job interviews.
Hell, if they didn't plan it this way, it's likely to work out very well for them. Provided they want to go into comp security.
GP said they were a junior in high school. How many media contacts did you have in high school?
do you have to report these problems or is it a case of bragging rights
Hell yes, it's bragging rights. Again, GP was in high school. Back when teachers were believed. Now we're older and we know why those teachers never became college professors.
I agree that they should be paid instead of punished, and though we may never know their true motives, they may have known this too.
Does anyone doubt that this will go in their resumes? Or that they will be hired because of it?
It may be taken for granted among some, but many have not only never read Brave New World or 1984 (different, but each has a message), many have no exposure to the ideas of those works. The ideas of 1984 have been often imitated in mainstream culture and are likely better known. It is a black and white work. Huxley's book is far more subtle and, I think, less appreciated. Both should be prerequisites to vote, I feel.
I'm starting to agree with the parent's subject line. Each state for itself. California carries this country as it is. Fend fer yerselves, ya freeloaders. (And don't download our movies or we'll sick the latest robo-bomb from Lockheed on ya using JPL sat images, after Silicon Valley pwnz yer data.)
If it were a country, Cali's economy would be sixth largest in the world.
I don't know why parent was modded funny. That sounds like a very good law. Read the F***ing bill foolish congressmen and senators! In fact, they should dedicate a little money each year to a testing company to quiz each legislator on each bill. Don't pass, can't vote.
he [President] doesn't actually play a role in how the senate frames legislation
I think he does. His VP chairs the Senate. That's a lot of agenda shaping control for the VP. The VP originally was supposed to be the President's opposition (second place in elections). This always made sense to me in a balance-of-power way. Dunno why it was changed, but it was. This puts Cheney in charge of Senate agendas and by extension, Bush's policies will be favored.
One problem is, Judicial Review is not part of the Constitution. It has been tradition ever since the court assumed such authority in Marbury v Madison. If Congressional republicans are pissed off and want to "go after" the judiciary, they could not have picked a better point of attack.
Imagine how it would be to be a high school student in that class knowing what you know now. Armed with the arguments of experts, you could chew the poor creation teacher up with the logical contradictions of intelligent design.

Everyone knows that the US grows unlimited amounts of money on bio-engineered trees.

I say the Aussies should cut em off. Don't allow any US company to use your patent at any price.
Perhaps some kid can make a "Thought Thieves" movie about these corps and their patent bashing ways.

Said the anti-terrorism agent.
Apparently, that kind of thinking is pretty common among HD manufacturers.

A gram is better than a damn.
Seriously, 600 million? How much did Disneyland cost? I better be able to ride the kick-ass rides when I go visit my tax-funded Baghdad extravaganza.
Hell, for that price you should be able to hunt people... or are we not to discuss that yet?

I think I agree that this is just a toy for the rich. Air pressure doesn't seem as effective as hydraulic elevators for small heights.

Three factorial? Six is way too high.
