The Constitution already requires legislative approval (specifically, a 2/3 vote by the Senate) on treaties -- it states that the President "shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur."
I wouldn't really describe the presence of a good single-player mode "lack of social aspect." I play single-player most of the time, but I still enjoy meeting up with friends for LAN/internet/succession games. There's a lot less asshattery when everyone knows everyone else.
From what I remember from geography class...
Civilizations typically start out with high birth rate and high death rate. Population can increase, but it normally goes slowly. After a while, technological improvements dampen the causes of death by making their world cleaner, safer, etc. Birth rates do not decrease at the same time, so this fosters a population rise, which can go on (at non-constant magnitude) for some time, possibly centuries. During this time, raising children satisfactorily becomes more expensive, so people make an effort to produce fewer children, and birth rates fall like death rates did.
So if this description is accurate, then yes, it would suggest that there is a causal link in the other direction -- improvements in standard of living promote lower birth rates.
That motivation may not be enough. Given the amount of work that would go into fully completing the test and the fact that you don't get any reward unless you're the best (though this alone doesn't necessarily set it apart from other possible jobs), I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people would prefer to focus on prospects that require less time for the same chance of success.
The fact that someone has been drunk behind the wheel several times in the past does not mean that any given time he is driving, he is probably also drunk. Those with multiple DIU convictions are still sober most of the time, even while driving, and the burden remains with the police to find evidence that they are not.
I think the question isn't whether that action makes them liable, but to whom. If it's a violation of terms of a copyright license, I'm pretty sure (IANAL) that it's only actionable by the licensor.
You'd still have to trust your teammates not to screw you over once the payment is issued. I might play this game for a 40k prize, but I'm not likely to play for a small share of 40k I might never receive even if I win. Given the time I'd have to spend on this, I probably get a better expected payoff just by going to work.

Strictly speaking, limiting a Turing machine to a finite tape makes it something other than a Turing machine (e.g. a linear bounded automaton).

So after a while, it turns into The Sims? o_0

That will only work if people don't realize Xfinity is just Comcast's new name.

Driving is also not probable cause.

From the summary, it looks like Dittmar isn't saying the world will run out of uranium, just that we can't mine it as fast as we use it.
Where were they going to school? Where had they gone for their bachelors (and were those in CS)?
When I interned at IBM, quite a few people I knew (including my office mate) were working on their masters degrees at U of M.
Yes, provide a good user experience, but with completely different metrics than anything I've ever heard supposed usability experts promote.
If I don't want others to be able to duplicate what I've done, why would I send out my source code? I'm keeping it as a trade secret.
There is definitely a distinction between the two, but do those people refuse to use BSD-licensed code?

I think it's safe to assume almost any mention of chiropractic in this discussion is referring to the nutjobs.
So does quantum computing get us discrete logs too?
