I would take that 3,632F (2,000C) number with a grain of salt. You would be talking magma at that temperature. Perhaps near an active volcano, which I would not think of drilling near. I also could not find any information that would back that number up. I would think a number that amazing would not be confined to 'Mother Earth News".
Please explain how: T->M C->M T->C is significantly different than: T->C->M Condorcet can be played just as much as any other voting system, though it may take more thinking to do it.
My dad has been into photography for over 20 years and is pretty good at it.

So, "into" seems be the applicable word here, and the grandparent('s father) seems more "there" then the poster. I think you are reading into it more than is prudent.
It is not like it is actually supposed to mean 1048576 cities either, or for that matter any number of cities. There is also no such thing as a kilopolis or a gigapolis.
Mega- could be considered special since it has other meaning besides SI, however that is not even necessary since in this case, the prefix in megalopolis is actually megalo- and not mega-.
The bill was passed by a vote of 8 in favor and 2 against, so we can perhaps derive that 80% of the city was in favor of the ban. 1 - Unless the candidates in the voting were virtually indistinguishable from each other but for this one issue, it is not possible to glean a mandate for this particular issue.
2 - You cannot acribe the proportion of a voting bloc of the council directly to the percentage of people voting for them..
3 - Only voting citizens were counted in electing this council. Whereas you might say they are the only ones who matter since there were other people who could have voted, neither can you say that a blanket 80% of the city support it.
Nobody currently above 1 seems to have suggested having more than one number. You would have one public number, which you answer at your leisure. You have another private number that is like your cell phone and good email and you pay attention to that. You might also have a super secret number that gets instant response..
As far as I am concerned this is all about convergence, and that is good if managed properly.
On the reverse side of the coin, we also need a smart concentrator device that you can manage more than one number and more than one service (phone, fax, email, etc..). Small form factor but varied display possibilities (vga, projection display, retinal display)... btw, I am just throwing out some cool stuff, not saying all of this is necessary in version 1.0.
"Gee, what was I supposed to do? They gave me money. Who amongst you doesn't need money to survive? Then STFU!" - your politician
Saying they have influence is without question. Saying they are more powerful than the US government is absurd. The government has the power to take the money and give nothing back.
As with the 'energy policy'-gate. Yeah, like Chaney was going to support a green-friendly policy outlawing any sort of pollution.. Ah, but those evil corporations got to him and told him that the only way to salvation was to burn oil, preferably on the dead bodies of some endangered animals.
Most people don't want to be as well off as their neighbor. They want to be better off than their neighbor.
How do you think wealth disparity starts out in the first place? Did Adam Smith's invisible hand pop out of nowhere and plot a wad of cache in the lap's of the now wealthy? Or did someone, somewhere work for that money?
What is the reason to steal from someone when everybody else has the same? How about so you can sell people back their stuff and then you don't have to work. (This is assuming it isn't because there is an invincible army of equalizers constanly evening things out)
Correct me if I am wrong (and I am sure you will, thanks), but coin tossing is hardly comparable to facial recognition. The only thing the coin would have done is approximate the correctness.
What the facial recognition software did was run approximately 1 in 1000 odds almost 50% of the time. If a medicine cut risks by 1000 times for half the people who took it, it would be a sensation.
Of course, what people really care about is not inconveniencing innocents.. I think it is a bad tactical move for the ACLU to pick on these points. Eventually, computers will be so much faster that we will have a pretty good recognition system and they will be up a creek.
Good behavior consists of stopping at a yellow light at all times unless you cannot stop safely.
The yellow light should be on long enough to allow people who can't stop in time to get through safely. If the yellow lights are properly timed and kept that way, then I would think better of the camera's. As it is, I have been to many intersections where I am positive that if I slammed on the breaks (going a little faster (5mph) than the speed limit, I will admit), I would have ended up in the intersection, yet when I went through, the light had turned red before I had passed the white line.
I believe that there should be some indication at every intersection that shows where you would have to be in order to go. This line would take into effect speed limit, judgement, grade of road and a small 'fudge factor'. There could be a camera that takes pictures when the light turns yellow, then after it turns yellow. In order to receive a ticket, the police would have to show that you were behind the line when the yellow light turned on.
I am all for punishing those who drive recklessly, but when you punish competent, well meaning people in the process, you lose your moral high ground.
Using your logic, people do not expect putting a audio CD into your computer to crash it either.
Since the warning label on the coffee cup was not enough to keep McDonalds from prosecution, putting a label saying "don't put in pc" should also not protect Sony.

I mostly agree with your assessment, though I am not sure this project will have the success of OpenSSH. But, we can hope.

Maybe it is a media problem, or a specific burner problem.. Their user comments do not seem to contradict this.
If you really were trying to stuff all human activity in a country the size of Iraq, you probably would not be using solely soil based agriculture.
I couldn't get it to match my state license, but you might have better luck...

Nebraska and Maine split by proportion of the votes cast.
1 - Unless the candidates in the voting were virtually indistinguishable from each other but for this one issue, it is not possible to glean a mandate for this particular issue.
2 - You cannot acribe the proportion of a voting bloc of the council directly to the percentage of people voting for them..
3 - Only voting citizens were counted in electing this council. Whereas you might say they are the only ones who matter since there were other people who could have voted, neither can you say that a blanket 80% of the city support it.
Unfortunately for me, most of the Japanese is in images, so babelfish didn't help too much..
He explained it something to the order of, it makes it seem like his vision was not carried out by the theatrical release.
I did the google search and went through the comments in this story (not all the way to 0, though) and didn't find anything.
