How can one mathematically predict how an biological entity is going to react to certain stimuli?
If there's a way, sign me up. Super-advanced lifeforms would have show themselves by now if they wanted us to know about there or were even aware of us.
Plus, last I heard it had interchangible front cases (like the Nokia phones). Very popular among those who like to coordinate with their apparal, and believe me, they're out there.

Few girls want to be viewed as intellegent.
You heard me.
I was just at a club. I hooked up with a girl who came across as a total idiot ("I like stuff! And shopping at the Gap and driving my Neon!!!"). Until I started rambling about astrophysics (long story)... and SHE CORRECTED ME (*SCHWING!*). She then appoligized for being right and I feel that proves my point.
9 out of 10 guys (not/. readers) are afraid of women with common sense or a modicum of intelligence. This and women's behavioral adaptations have to do with simple biology and instictive patterns. If you don't get it, have someone draw you a picture.

Actually, MS has nothing to do with it. This is a JavaMail applet using the undocumented System.suck_to_blow.h@x0r_y3r_r0mz(int c0d3z) method. Pass in a "31337" and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results. Only 3 people in the world know (knew?) this method. Myself and 2 engineers at the RAND Corperation. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle... =)
I also have done some work with school corperations/districts/ESCs and in my experience the main concern (at least with the people that run the systems) is not pornography or incorrect thought. It's a matter of keeping the kids from webmail, chat rooms, trying to be 31337 h@xorz, etc... An angry fundamentalist parent is less scary than an FBI agent.
That and your "11 minutes" figure came from the amount of time light takes to get to Earth.
Also, it really only takes 8 miuntes, not 11, but that's just splitting hairs. Pretty weird thinking that the sun could have gone Nova a few minutes ago and we'd still be blissfully ignorant.. =)
This is going to sound like bitching, but I figured I'd just tell part of my story so that no else makes this mistake...
I took a job with a startup about 8 months ago. Since then the head developer hired on a friend of his. This friend is 32. He took his last job at the age of 18 as a stock boy at a store and had worked there ever since. The head developer and his friend now manage the development staff, which consists of myself, another friend of theirs, and a part-time intern. That's 2 people managing 2.5. We now have to do lovely things like justify time down to the minute and have monthly "code reviews". That's where you sit down with "management" and at least with me they criticized not using their variable naming scheme. I prefer self-documenting code vs theirs (r, r1, r2, r3... no matter what type of object). and then there's the wonderful days where the former stock boy will do nothing but sit behind me and watch me work. Yesterday's nugget of joy: "You're not supposed to use semi-colons inside of 'if cycles'." I develop in Java, so if anyone would like to translate that for me... =). I could go on and on with my sad sad song, but the end result of all this is a completly de-movtivated developers and a staff that cannot think on its feet. Also going out of your way to make a client happy is no longer possible due to the red-tape.
The bottom line is: 1. Don't hire your friends unless you knwo what they're capable of and 2. MICRO-MANAGEMENT = DEATH IN AND OF A SMALL COMPANY
This is interesting, since I've been playing Driver lately. After playing that game for a bit before I head out somewhere, for the first few minutes I consider the emergency break a valid tool for turning.
That proves to me that video games can influence people. Me and my emergency break. A gun owner and Quake. But you know what? WE DON'T USE THEM BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME !@#$%& COMMON SENSE.
And there the line is drawn. Could video games have stimulated a school shooter? Hells yes. If video games didn't exist, would the shootings still have happened? Hells yes. A psycho is a psycho is a psycho. Sometimes things have no reason. However, people want to blame, and games are an easier target than the consiquence free Jerry Springer society that's being built in Amerika.

The FBI investigating people for holding different beliefs than those in office? Who have thought THAT would ever happen!! (That was sarcasm. If you don't understand, get a history book!)
All the FBI really needs to defeat crypto is a good ad campaign ala the Tweek's Coffee episode of South Park:
"Crypto hurts children. You don't hate children... do you?"
"Usually boys of average or above-average intelligence" Is that truly the first question on the "profile", or just put there by sheer luck? Regardless, this kind of adds fuel to my theory that the American goverment WANTS their subjects stupid. Anyone thinking for themselves should be suspect and reported immediatly. As for some of the other questions, such as broken homes and abusive/uninvolved parents, any administrator with two neurons to rub together will tell you while these things are common with those causing problems, they are not reliable indicators.
God, I can only pray Y2K causes MTV and Carson Daly to explode...
But reality is far far worse... I can see it now: - The Real World: Y2K -
"Like, I don't get why *Trendy Name* is so cranky when he comes home at 4am. Computers jobs can't be that tough, I know because I use AOL *hold up disk*. I'm an internet queen!!"
so very cold... Maybe a complete y2k infrastructure breakdown wouldn't be too bad..
"Is this really going to happen?", family and friends are asking me.
I tell them no, but they may want to stock up on milk & tp as if a blizzard or hurricane was coming. Then they tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and they'll try to get me a deal on a generator. These aren't trailer park idiots I'm talking to here, folks. These are doctors, lawyers...
Will there be people trying to riot? Oh yeah, you better believe it after tonight. I never have liked the media, but this is mindblowing. I never thought the media would again have such power that they could force people to create them a more profitable reality... I thought American society had progressed in the past hundred years and since the Spanish-American War...
Maybe American brains have a Y2K bug? Damn reds, this is because of water floridation.
On the upside, Indianapolis Power & Light is running ads about y2k ending with the quote, "Will there be power outages? Perhaps. If the roads are slick someone may slide into a power pole."
I've tried to do a similar thing (w/out the Palm Pilot) and the 486dx4/100 was choking on the mp3. Now, this may have been caused by any # of things: low memory (20MB), slow HD. Of course, that was just my situation...

Don't forget, in addition to the $6 and change a month IP charge, there's also a ~$25 "service change" fee as well.
