The character entities in HTML are only to try to get around legacy encodings. And since you can specify numerical Unicode entities, all of the Unicode set is accessible, there is no need for explicit names for everything.
If you aren't constrained to legacy encodings, then the obvious approach is just to set the encoding to something sensible, for example UTF8. There are several ways to do this in HTML. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5-diff/#character-encoding
The fact is surely that hardly anyone uses the two words for different occasions; most people prefer one or the other for all purposes, and the preference of the majority is for further.
Which was Jacob's point; where there is surveillance, there will be censorship, even if it is not explicit. He called it "an emergent phenomenon of surveillance". Hence the importance of resistance to surveillance.
moglen: the users are the victims and even the stuff you write which purports to be critical will do everything except telling people the central fact, which is they have to stop using.
reporter: I think that’s totally relevant and will definitely put it in. (N.B.: In the end, I did not put this in the story for several reasons, not the least of it was the fact that it was late and over word limit.)
The Z80 is not a segmented memory model either; you might be thinking of some of the embedded versions such as the HD64180. It was the x86 architecture that was really afflicted with these segment registers.
You are remarkably misinformed. There are hundreds of vaccinations we don't give children in Australia.
These are the typical ten that are given to infants: diptheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis b, polio, hib, pneumococcal, measles, mumps, rubella (most in combination to reduce the number of injections required).
They are all freely available. For people who have specific objections to vaccines, you can fill in a form and still gain the usual benefits and bonuses; this is just a hurdle so that vaccination becomes the default position. Vaccinations are free of charge, so most people take advantage of that.
And even if the hygiene hypothesis relied upon these few diseases (rather than the myriad parasites and bacteria that can be found in the average soil sample or unwashed food), it would hardly make sense to let polio run through the community.
and that sense of achievement when the myriad services and quickstart toolbars and update managers finish paging off the disk ten minutes after startup, and Windows is ready to roll...
oh, and needing to fill in the tax return once a year
The views of the copyright holders are not irrelevant. When significant copyright holders state their intentions, this enables others who use the code to know whether they are likely to be subject to litigation or not. When you are a lawyer, the world revolves around the law... but for the rest of us, we care about intentions.
I'm not saying that the legal standing is obvious; there are certainly cases where a header file could contain copyrightable material (for example, C++ templates). But the kernel API headers are a lot less complicated than that; the grayest part would be the comments, which I gather were stripped out by Google. Going to court would achieve nothing, because you cannot set a legal precedent for the standing of header files; the copyright standing depends entirely on the content of the files, not whether the name of the file ends with '.h'.
It wouldn't surprise me if the apps issue is tied up with the identity one. Once they allow apps users in, Google aren't going to be able to maintain a one to one identity policy. A single apps user can have hundreds of accounts, but since many are paying customers, aren't going to just roll over if a legitimate account is suspended because of an 'identity' issue.

I think Los Alamos should pay more attention to developing high tech methods of mass destruction and less attention to flaming NASA in net.math.
Of course, if the generator was based on a public/private key system instead of block cipher (ie, encrypting the time stamp using the private key), then there would be no need for the private 'seed' to be stored anywhere outside of the security token. The number would be a digitally signed timestamp.
Setting up false comparisons is not an insult, it is just shows your own ignorance (or malice).
Can you give an example of Stallman doing an outlandish socially unacceptable act for publicity? Walking around barefoot? Holding up a placard? Wearing a computer disk platter on his head? I know it's a crime to be a bit of a hippie in these 'enlightened' times, but seriously, I think you will find that Stallman's main activisim revolves around arguing the case for free software using words.
If that's your idea of extreme publicity events, I'd hate to know what you think about Mahatma Ghandi.
Ah, but that is why software patents are even more insidious than copyright restrictions; you can infringe a software patent without even being aware of doing it. A clean-room implementation does nothing to solve this.

That's what worries me. When Britain becomes a republic, does that mean Her Royal Highness will move here to Australia for good? ;)
Let me quote from Fowler (1926):

Wow, you should be writing anti-piracy ads. "Downloading a movie is human trafficking".

They are talking about sound power sensitivity rather than sound intensity sensitivity (this detector is signicantly smaller than an ear drum).
Also, the Brownian motion pressure in water will less than in air.
But yes, the detector does see Brownian noise, and that would be the practical sensitivity limit.
though to be fair, the FBI infringement notice on the megaupload site is hosed on Amazon, so you might be right :-)
which with their scale means it is inconceivable that the service would be shut off with the loss of data before we had chance to retrieve it
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

log2(sqrt(x)) = log2(x)/2
(by key size, he meant the magnitude of the key, not the number of bits in the key)

You must be old here.

I see what you did there...
