So we can answer the question from the article: to make perfect broccoli, nuke it from the orbit, that's the only way to be sure. That's the only good kind of broccoli.
That sculpture is quite vulnerable by having 3D structures on an exposed face. It's made of granite so it will withstand erosion for thousands of years, and it's in a geologically stable area so it will last a bunch, but I don't see it surviving longer than several tens or at most a few hundred thousand years.
A militia (communist police) station has been ordered to conduct an intelligence test. It consisted of a board with three holes: a circle, a triangle and a square, and three corresponding blocks. The next days, the commandant announces: I'm very proud of our station: all of you passed the test! 5% have shown exceptional intelligence, 95% exceptional strength!
I mean... Mary and Joseph... Were quite married, you know?
With Mary being 13 at the time. Because, you know, biologically adult humans are equal but only if they cross a magic age, just like alcohol magically stops being harmful after one of your birthdays.
You call the scheme of picking just one alternate sexuality scheme, promoting it above everything else, and banning the rest, including fully natural behaviour -- "equal"?
A vast majority of animals, and most human cultures other than graeco-roman allow polygamy, usually as the default mode. By a quirk of history, this particular culture won and imposed it customs on everyone else. And now, unless you follow the deviation of restricting yourself to just one partner, you go to prison in most countries.
Up until late 19th century, the age of sexual/marriage majority matched being a biological adult. Yet these days, this natural behaviour is considered the most heinous crime that must be eradicated at all costs, including curbing all civil liberties. Before, people acted with revulsion only to sexual relations with an actual child -- today, if a woman of this age sends her naked photo to the father of her child, she goes to jail for "pedophilia".
They could have put that money into improving quality, or decreasing price, both of which would increase sales. Advertising merely steals some dumber customers from the competition, without doing anything productive.

With this non-free piece of shit license, you can't take parts of the code and reuse them in about anything else than pretty much just a web service. Want a mail server (both exim and postfix use bdb)? An IMAP server? A networked lift control (don't laugh, I've seen a wifi-connected one)? An IRC bot? Sorry.
I'm a strong proponent of the GPL, but AGPL is a train wreck akin to GnonFDL (literal reading of which prohibits using a technology known as "door lock" from protecting your machine).
Depends what definition of the word "country" you use. Indeed, it can mean both "sovereign state" and merely a "political entity". Other than for the United Kingdom, though, the latter usually bears other names, like "state" or "land".
So, we have three levels here: * a fully independent, sovereign state (USA, Germany, United Kingdom, in the past the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) * a division with its own laws and parliament: California, Texas, Bavaria, Scotland * a voivodship/province/etc
You can place the cut-off either at level one or level two. My complaint here is that this page uses inconsistent criteria.
So I'm supposed to have a magical sorter that hires an oracle for every pair of version numbers, right?
There's a common scheme of comparing them that almost everyone agrees with: sort lexically, taking a string of digits as single symbol: 3.9.2 compares as less than 3.10.1, 3.10a as less than 3.10b. That "semver" proposal doesn't work with that.
That (totally non-standard) spec you point to has a severe downside: it recommends for pre-releases to have a patch level. That's no only wasteful (it will be always 0), but also makes pre-releases sort AFTER the final: 3.0.0-rc1 > 3.0.0 3.0-rc1 < 3.0.0 (because - < . in ASCII).
Most projects I know of, including Linux, use 3.0-foobar for versions leading to 3.0.0.
If Obama had done anything impeachable, don't you think the pubs would have, you know, impeached him?
Cause it's them who came with this scheme before Obama massively expanded it? Cause they -- the authoritarian faction of the neocon corporate party -- want this spying just as much as the populist faction? They're unhappy with being partially on the receiving side this time, but are aware impeaching Obama for these crimes would be a suicidal action for them.
It's not a D-R war, they have some clashes, but for most important matters work together. It's a war against the rest of the society. Both of these parties are the enemy.
The president approves, or at least is aware of, any important decisions made by his administration. The typical game of blaming things on a random intern won't fly.
As for your request for me to "wipe the republicans cum off my face": fuck you. I demand a modicum of decorum in this discussion.
It's quite clear that the current program is trying to protect the country, whether one agrees with the approach or not.
I'm afraid your case is not just blind belief, it's willful disregard of available evidence. Unless you use the word "protection" in mafia's sense (and with no competing organized crime it could actually protect against).
Obama differs from Nixon only by enormously larger scale. And his enemies not being limited to just the opposing party (which is more of a competing faction with mostly the same backers).

For some real resilience, make it a bas relief without any jutting out parts.
But how do you make sure that guy is indeed an undercover federal agent? You can be 99% sure, but, baring gross incompetence, you can't prove it.
An old joke:

Quoting Wikipedia: "Biologically, an adult is a human being or other organism that is of reproductive age (sexual maturity).".
You're confusing adulthood (a biological term) with age of majority (a legal concept).
You don't stop developing until shortly after your death.
Fiscally punishing someone due to their opinion is stupid.
Anti-polygamy and artificial age of consent laws punish people not only fiscally, but also with real prison. So do zoophilia and necrophilia laws.
You can't have "equal" mean "equal but only within current political correctness".

It complicates use of non-microsoft OSes
And that's the whole reason SecureBoot is getting pushed onto manufacturers.
They could have put that money into improving quality, or decreasing price, both of which would increase sales. Advertising merely steals some dumber customers from the competition, without doing anything productive.
"Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by malice."
And even worse, every penny put into advertising is a penny that product costs more.
As long as you use, for example Debian, you already comply with the AGPL license, because Debian distribute the sources already.
Alter a single bit and you need to distribute your modified version. Which for most networking protocols is impossible or impractical.

>quote>But if any ad makes it through anyway, I'd rather it be related to something I may be remotely interested in.
I'd rather spend time making sure it won't get through the next time.

On the other hand, this site lists Austria as 1037 years old, Hungary as 1012. Please remind me, what country did that guy named Franz Joseph rule?
Young accounts start well over 2 million these days. Although, I agree, folks at 826k and above like that cold fjord (826450) might be immature.

Here you have another worthy petition with too few signatures. Because Nixon.
