So you'd be ok if your neighbour is having an orgy on his front lawn? Assuming you have children, would this be, in your opinion, free entertainment/sexual education for them, or you'd have to drive them to school blidfolded?
As some other poster said, this is not an issue of "community". Viewing porn is private unless I connect my computer to a big screen TV in front of my house, in which case community has the right to impose certain restrictions.
Sorry for bad english....
As far as I know it is NOT known whether an efficient factoring algorithm could or could not exist. So, assumimg it exists, it might factor RSA-640 in a few minutes on a regular PC. On the other hand, if it is proved that GNFS gives the optimal order of complexity, there is no hope for anything else better than brut force.
When you show me one private company (or even a consortium of private companies) willing to invest 16.2billion/year on space programmes I will jump on that bandwagon.
But until a reasonable return, from the perspective of a private company, can be achieved, I doubt we'll see NASA programmes go to private investors.
You're wrong! The US record belongs to Cpt. Janeway of starship Voyager. And Cpt. Kirk has the record for most teleportation with both testicles accounted for.
HDL or LDL is not actually cholesterol. They are what they say they
are: lipoproteins. Cholesterol is cholesterol. All living creatures
(ok, let's just say vertebrates, I am not very sure here) incorporate cholesterol into their
cell walls to make cells waterproof.
Because cholesterol is
insoluble in water and thus also in blood, it is transported in our
blood inside spheric particles composed of fats (lipids) and
proteins, the so-called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are easily
dissolved in water because their outside is composed mainly of
water-soluble proteins. The inside of the lipoproteins is composed
of lipids, and here are room for water-insoluble molecules such as
cholesterol. Like submarines, lipoproteins carry cholesterol from
one place in the body to another. The main task of HDL is to carry
cholesterol from the peripheral tissues, including the artery walls,
to the liver. Here it is excreted with the bile, or used for other
purposes, for instance as a starting point for the manufacture of
important hormones. The LDL submarines mainly transport cholesterol
in the opposite direction. They carry it from the liver, where most
of our body's cholesterol is produced, to the peripheral tissues,
including the vascular walls. When cells need cholesterol, they call
for the LDL submarines, which then deliver cholesterol into the
interior of the cells. Most of the cholesterol in the blood, between
60 and 80 per cent, is transported by LDL and is called "bad
cholesterol". Only 15-20 percent is transported by HDL and called
"good" cholesterol. A small part of the circulating cholesterol is
transported by other lipoproteins. So you see, bad cholesterol is
actually good at something very important. Of course, excess is bad. Bad eating habits stimulate the overproduction of cholesterol, much more then what the body needs. So much more that the HDL cannot "recycle" back to the liver, so the excess gets stuck on the artery walls.
So the parent is right, cholesterol IS necessary for the body to
function. If you magically got rid of all your LDL "bad
cholesterol", you'd be dead.

whaaaaa???? WE think about US as our 11th province! Or rather out Southern territories.
Premonitory: Flop Ahead A touch of geekness: FLOP Ahead Subliminal message: Leap Ahead....DIE AMD BITCH, DIIIIIIIIIEE! New AMD Slogan: Leap Ahead Intel Inside....Choose AMD!
They could combine it with M$ new logo: "Leap ahead" to the "blue screen of death".

Well, after about 10,000 "iterations", to make it really undetectable, all you have to do is rent a 17 feet UHaul track to carry it to the airport.
I first read "Senility Opens Today"....

Oh man, PETA lawyers will have a field day with this.....
Air conditioning? Pfff....I just keep a bag of ice over my loins while I drive....
For the love of God, we put a man on the Moon and we find it challanging to keep track of daylight savings time??? Get over it, we'll survive.
Damn those French!! And "Lagrange points"??? I say we call them "Freedom Points". PS: Btw, dude's name was Lagrange not LaGrange.
