That moon with the big wall on it (can't remember which planet it orbits)- could it have a similar explanation? That is, an already-formed moon runs through a very thin ring for a couple of centuries, accumulating the ring material in one big long pile that ends up looking like a wall?
Oh, I quite agree. OP's point was that adding special characters increases the strength of passwords; my point was that the same type of strength increase can come from just adding more characters.
26^10 > 95^5. Even if you restrict your password to only a few characters, you can get the same level of security as with many characters. You just need far more of them. Think about it: when we strip off all of our abstractions, everything is stored as 1s and 0s, right?
(Note: Parent's point is good and right, if your password must be short, or you don't want to spend time doing the inkblot test, or you don't want to have to remember 90 characters.)

What really clinched my negative impression is that everything just felt clunky. Combat felt clunky. The skills system felt clunky. The level design and layout was very confusing. When I feel like I have to resort to a cheat guide to get through the game the first time, that feels like bad design. I'm not talking about spoon-feeding the details to the player, I'm talking about providing enough clues so that someone of reasonable intelligence can make their way through the game without undue confusion from poor design choices. I have to say, my kid brother made it through Deus Ex when he was thirteen and loved it. Now, he's bright, and I'm not saying that you aren't. My sticking point is that you pick intelligence in general rather than perceptiveness or just willingness to pay attention. You said pretty early on that the game felt clunky, and I take from that that you were distracted by your dislike for the game. Everything seemed straightforward to me.
I dare say, if one considers himself to be his current body rather than his genetic legacy, immortal soul, or how people remember him, he doesn't give a damn what happens to his stuff after he dies. Under a purely selfish secular system, copyright makes consistent sense. Any other argument relies on appeals to things which don't live in that system.
I work at my school's student affairs IT department. Part of what we do is tech support for residents. Almost every non-trivial problem (spyware cleaning, user error, and bad ram are trivial) is due to a bad HD in a student's laptop. Dells seem particularly susceptible. I think it has a lot to do with unreasonable expectations of durability on the user's end, but when these people start moving into the work force, their employers' budgets had best include frequent replacement drives. (Desktops are immune to this issue, because people don't lug them around and beat the crap out of them.)
I always double the n in man after wenn, and my profs have been trying to cure me of it for years. Schwer wie is a new one on me, but the books say you're right. Thanks!
Dedicated != good, for any value of good. The two may be related, but Blackwater has messed up a number of times. I wouldn't work for them, for fear that some Luke Skywalker wannabe would fly my transport into a mountain.
Your units don't cancel properly. Flops = floating point operations / second, PS3s / foot-second = physical object / (viscosity / weight). You could stretch PS3s to be units of processing power / time, which gives you processing power / time / viscosity, which we'll fudge to be about flops / viscosity.
I dunno: maybe this thing could run faster at higher temperatures in lower gravity?
We had something a little like this at our university. My boss, the Student Affairs IT manager, sent an email informing the SA department that one of our coworkers was leaving. Everyone he sent it to replied- to everyone else on the list. I got to learn about how much everyone was going to miss him. Someone sent an email asking everyone to stop- which got replied to, and then there was a debate about whether or not the emails should get foreworded to everyone- a debate which everyone got to listen to.

But no matter how hard I try, I still can't make this as confusing as the summary.
The University where I work has a policy of encouraging users to save in the older.doc format, even though we have Office 2007 licenses for everyone, because we want the people who haven't upgraded to be able to open all the files they need. But there's high turnover with student employees, and the administrators don't tend to save things properly, so we end up having to upgrade everyone as soon as one person in a department has 2007. At least I have job security.
Don't we have three dimensions to work with? What's to stop us from linking one core in a 4-core processor to the other 3? Does latency come into play even over those distances?

I'm in Abstract Algebra 1 at the moment. I get the feeling it makes more sense after Algebra 2.

Hasn't the PS3 had lackluster sales for its entire lifespan? A serious question, rather than a disagreement with parent or an attempt to troll.

Nope, but I didn't think of it, and I'd guess you didn't, either. I'm clever, and I'll assume that you are, too; it's invention-worthy.

Or provide fodder for a heartwarming sequel to The Secret of NIMH.

At least now we'll have a way to beat the Kzinti when we make first contact.
