The multimedia adverts that covered up the actual content of the page were the main reason I uninstalled Flash. The lack of a volume control for Flash meant sudden bursts of loud intrusive music and other sounds; something I could do without. Another reason was the excessive CPU usage for simple HTML pages (at least they would be simple HTML if they didn't contain Flash adverts). The attitude that users aren't important enough to be allowed control over the Flash, not to resize, not to change the volume, not even to mute, means I'll not install it. Not even for Weebl's Stuff.
Quantum theory says that observables aren't commutative. If that's true then the universe is random for all sensible definitions of randomness. The behaviour of Quantum events taken in aggregate (excluding the obviously indeterministic Chaotic systems.) isn't strictly deterministic. There are only highly likely macrostates not deterministic macrostates. The highly unlikely macrostates are still possible.
Interesting theory about the universe being based on a Turing machine. From the context it looks to be untestable.
Like most random numbers generated by computer they aren't really random. They're pseudo-random, generated by a deterministic algorithm and having the appearance of randomness. The less processing power you dedicate to the algorithm, the less random the numbers will appear on inspection. The iTune statistics can only be as good as the algorithm they used to generate their (pseudo-)random numbers.
You can find true random numbers here and also some more information on pseudo-random and random numbers.
Ignorance doesn't imply consent: Consent would require their knowledge. They simply might not realise their wireless router can serve other people besides themselves. I agree that if all you're doing is looking for free bandwidth and then taking something that was offered (in whatever way) then you're not doing anything wrong. But if you've got some reason to think that the bandwidth is being offered in error, and you have some respect for the people you're taking it from (you might not), then I think you should accept the moral responsibility to either ask or to stop using it.
No. My VCR might not have the bandwidth to record more than one channel. But if I want to record two I can just get another VCR. The same scalability can work here too. This isn't one monolithic data stream: It's several independent streams. If the bandwidth is available for a single stream then the bandwidth is availble for as many streams as you can afford.
I suspect that armed police officers usually identify themselves by saying in a loud clear voice "armed police". I wouldn't be surprised if they said "stop" too.
Exactly my experience except; I've given up expecting anything insightful from my doctor. I just tell him what's wrong with me and wait for him to go through the motions and write the prescription for it. Unless it's serious, then I tell him what's wrong with me and have to wait twelve months for treatment.
First off, anyone using the user agent for ANYTHING is stupid. It's so easily changed in browsers other then IE that I can get into sites intended for IE with any browser.
I can understand the stupidity of websites (internet, not intranet) checking for a certain browser and refusing to show the page for anything else. But say you've got a standards compliant website. Some of it doesn't work with IE. Exactly why would it be stupid to use the user agent information so you can adapt the HTML/CSS specifically for a particular browser? If you want your browser to pretend to be IE and you get webpages that work with IE, then what's the problem? If it can't handle this then maybe it shouldn't be passing IE user agent information in the first place.
As an example; say you want to use 32-bit PNG (full alpha channel) for some of your website images. What's wrong with checking the UA in case it's Internet Explorer so that you can introduce a work around for that browser (which doesn't handle 8-bit alpha channels in PNG images).
Second: containment part two: To power it, you would need a energy source of such capacity that could feed an ion drive or equivalent just fine without the need for antimatter.
But antimatter would do it and you've already got that. It just means factoring in an extra bit for its own containment.

I should really check for extensions more often. NoScript is just what I need.

The book is 547 pages. Of that total, 507 are the content of the book while 13 pages are used for an Appendix.
Is that the best opening for a review you could come up with? Sweet Jeebus!
There's some details of nuclear thermal rockets in general on Wikipedia with some interesting links at the bottom. I also found an idea for a SSTO vehicle using GCNRs.
What we need is better propulsion system for this stuff.
There's the GCNR; but that's based on electomagnetic, gravity and nuclear principles.Only works for me if I open a new tab. ;)

There's no law against using more than one hard drive.
It doesn't make any difference if they are VCRs or PVRs: The bandwidth for 200 channels is still there if you buy enough of them.
No. My VCR might not have the bandwidth to record more than one channel. But if I want to record two I can just get another VCR. The same scalability can work here too.

if he was beaten to death by a spam victim's 31 inch long penis?
It's ironic that it was multiple blows to the head that killed him.

Well it would stop him detonating a bomb. Pinning him to the ground doesn't mean he can't press a button, it just means he can't stand up.

These photos betray enough of the design to build your own fully armed and operational battle station.
Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
Sorry.
Yes, it's the UK.

You would not think some spear chucker could outsmart an American.
Statements like that are immediately disproven when made by an American.

Well you really only need seven cameras to check the shuttle. The other hundred are there to check for terrorists.

Yes, 1 kg of antimatter will yield 2 kg (whatever that is in Joules) of energy.
