Well, if you let your e-mail address expire, and someone else registers it later on, they won't have trouble doing a password request which will allow them into your account, which will contain your personal information.
This is the reason that most ISPs and web mail providers don't allow anybody to register an email that's been registered at any time in the past.
If you could wipe out 3/4s of the earth's population instantly and painlessly (without causing individual suffering), would it not be a good idea to do so?
It would be a very bad idea, and it would be impossible to do without causing "individual suffering".
This would slow down our destruction of the earth's environment, reduce population density of the world's most crowded areas, and have lots of little trickle-down benefits for the surviving 25% of humanity.
... Just like the Holocaust?
If you believe genocide is actually bad under any circumstances, you should be able to support that believe with a convincing argument.
Because the people who die want to live. And I'm sure when they pick you to die, you'll agree with me.
If God is infinite, why would He be satisfied with just creating life here? He's already created an infinite universe (as far as we can tell), and it would be a waste to not populate it. If He really is infinite like every religous person believes, then there would also be an infinite number of populated worlds.
...it was clear that scholars were stunned to find that Archimedes devised a simple form of integral calculus in an attempt to find the area under a curve, something that was unknown prior to the investigation of the parchment.
I don't know about that, I did a report on Archimedes in school a few years ago and I remember reading about it....I was simply listing off his notable achievements.
Okay, sorry then - but it did look like you meant it came from the parchment.
Because "CAN-SPAM" is an acronym for: Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing
and it's not a widely-used term, nor a trademark.
They were giving out free samples of SPAM at the Wildflower Festival yesterday. I took one, (it was one of those "SPAM Singles"), and it had 25% of the Daily Value of fat (it said for normal AND saturated) for a 2000 calorie diet.
But it was delicious.
Agreed - it makes no sense how that would happen.
Wouldn't you have to be writing to a file to corrupt it? You can't corrupt it by reading for an upload to a central server. (I assume since he had *lost* data, the only copy was on his drive, in which case the only sensible thing to do is upload. Downloading would just wipe it out.) Anyways you should make a backup before doing *anything* to valuable data - everybody knows that.
I watched a program about the amazing discoveries uncovered through the painstaking analysis of this parchment. ...method for finding the area under a curve... ...law of levers... ...relationship of the area of a cylinder to a sphere... ...described the relationship of volume and buoyancy...
Those were not discovered from this parchment, people have known he discovered those for years. If they were just being read from the parchment, they wouldn't have had time to make a documentary.
No, no, no...
You don't get it. If you put parenthesis it doesn't work. And you read his problem wrong too... he put NINE after SIX.
See the Wikipedia Entry for an explanation on how/why the program works.
... and they want their laws back.
I heard about the ridiculous law, passed in 1675, that orders the arrest of all American Indians entering Boston, and just now, 330 years later, is ready to be repealed.
Has anybody *else* noticed that 1675 is more than 100 years before the United States of America even came into existence?
Why is it a problem, if the law was made by a government that doesn't exist anymore?

Actually, it's gone now. References to it are even removed from the page source. I guess they noticed your comment.

"pwnt", "noob", "frood", and "haxor"?
Yeah. The giant IE logo on the front page, and then a one-tenth size Firefox logo on the next page made it kind of obvious.
You're right.
It allows it to make more sense.

4. For clarity, just translate it into Spanish and ROT13 it. Does rot13 even work on Spanish? It's got a different alphabet, doesn't it?
It's awesome.
How the hell do you people come up with songs like that? Very easily.
He's an AC so most people won't see it.

I would have had that for lunch, if I had seen this earlier. And if I had some SPAM in the pantry.
Gotta find the grocery list...

I've got a bad feeling about this...
How is that off topic? ... No one gets the joke.. *sigh*
If it seems like nonsense to a mod, it goes down. So.... I'm confused too.

Tell south korea to watch out South Korea are the good guys.
For the uninformed.
