You also need to keep in mind that it was only Adam that was forbidden to eat from the tree - Eve hadn't come along yet. It was Eve who ate from the tree first, but she had never been told not to. Yet she was also evicted from the Garden of Eden.
Most people also gloss over the fact that God told Adam if he ate from the tree he would surely die. Adam ate from the tree, and did not die. God LIED, the serpent told the TRUTH.
(This is why I think you shouldn't insist that people swear to tell the truth with one hand on the bible - apparently God is OK with lying.)
I ended up taking down a dozen mission critical devices because the vendor of the hardware in question didn't account for portscans. The devices ended up hanging because they received a connection with no command in it.
Sounds like your security scan on those devices was successful.

The Speedtouch modems are supposedly pretty common in Europe; Mandrake has included support for them since at least 8.2 (that I know of), possibly earlier.
If you are going to do the 'multi-function' hand-held thing properly, you also need to include a can opener, keyring, personal alarm and/or capsicum spray, tyre pressure guage, shifting spanner, and tweezers. Maybe even a thing for taking stones out of horses hooves - can't tell you how many times THAT would come in handy.

The report continues: "The U.S. is also not complying with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), the Chemical Weapons Commission (CWC), the BWC, and the UN framework Convention on Climate Change". And as the parent comment mentions, there are plenty of violations of the WTO as well.

so why would the signal be more difficult to parse than human speech?
I don't think it would. Ever look at the waveforms of digitised human speech? Can you read them? Of course not. When you hear the sound though you understand it without analysing every minute component making up the overall sound. I don't think telepathy is about looking at every single piece of information making up the current brain activity, but the overall picture that the activity makes up.
Is the brain capable of detecting the brain waves of others? Yes it is hard to say. Sceptics would say 'no' because there is no proof, and a number of people would say a definite 'yes'. I say 'possibly', because although there is no proof it can, there is also no proof it can't. Some people might have the ability at some level and not even know: they just get a 'feeling' from people, not specific thoughts but just general emotive pictures or impressions.
Perhaps they are going to let the characters develop, experiment with some guest stars in weird prosthetics, get to the really interesting stuff 80% through the intended duration of the series and then can it.
This is spot on. It reminds me of a quote from Ben Elton in his book 'This Other Eden' where he describes Hollywood as "The place where ideas went to die".
Television is slightly better, but only because some production companies are still willing to gamble the relatively small amounts it takes to make a pilot or even a one-off show.
Sometimes the sequels can be done very well, for example I personally consider Rocky II to be the best of that series, although after that they should have stopped. Others, although not as good as the first, can still be well written and entertaining (Toy Story 2 was pretty good). Others they should have stopped after the first movie instead of turning the story into a joke. (I keep telling myself that "there is no sequel")
But some more originality on the big screen would be nice.
I suppose the question is, does bread qualify as a storage media?
Sure it does - you use one side of the media to 'store' a small quantity of peanut butter. You could even store mutiple condiments when necessary, either by dividing up the storage area or by using another technique known as 'multiple storage layers'. Although you might find that some wacky DVD company might claim that they invented the layering thing.
Well, now that I do a few seconds of research, apparently the MIPI was 'set up by the music industry' (acording to SMH, so it seems to be just a unit that concentrates on copyright infringement violations. According to the ACCC the MIPI is a part of ARIA.

Yes, yes, typos happen, but this happens so often that I think people honestly think they're saying "then" when they're saying "than".
Seeing mistakes like the one you describe makes me so angry that sometimes I think I might loose control.
Although it is a real word, its meaning is unclear, so we should all strive to stop using it.
We should be irregardless-less.
We must not exhibit irregardless-ness.
We must be irregardless-less-ness-less.
(Kudos to Rowan Atkinson for this one).

Why, it's to avoid that pesky "activation" thing of course!

He didn't even use the word "fucktard".
The term 'asshat' is also conspicuously absent.

I guess in China, no one wants 44444444 as their phone number?
Here in Perth there is a taxi company that had a phone number of 444-4444. They couldn't get any asian customers to get into their cabs.
They now have a six-digit 13- number with no 4's.
Perhaps they are going to let the characters develop, experiment with some guest stars in weird prosthetics, get to the really interesting stuff 80% through the intended duration of the series and then can it.
