From what I've read and heard, the Israeli view of the Middle East is that they really ARE out to get them. I'm sure they're quite likely to err on the side of pessimistic estimates of their neighbors enmity, because that's how they view recent history.
The first Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I.[1] This model and its variants were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries — most notably by Nazi Germany before and during World War II.[2] Several different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models, the Wehrmacht Enigmas, are the ones most commonly discussed.
The British captured an Enigma machine from a U-boat, and then cracked the code and used it to read a large amount of previously-secret German communications. Sorry, you basically had it completely backwards.:)
It's possible that most of the other people on the freeway are also driving fast, and are neither surprised nor offended by him driving 80. (My local freeway speed limit is 70; most people seem to drive 75.) As long as they aren't being jackasses or weaving through traffic, it doesn't seem that disruptive when a fast-mover passes me.
Biosphere showed us that, at least now, gooood luck getting people to cooperate smoothly for long periods. Factions form, tensions rise, and people find things to conflict about that are petty.
This is the first time I've thought, "wow, I could set up BitTorrent for a week/month and fill up a drive of stuff that will have lasting value to my family". Why stream it on demand, if you can download it ahead of time, effectively having a local cache that will not lose its educational value in five or likely even ten years?
I think it would be tremendously stupid for Geohot to do any sort of shenanigans like that (giving them a wiped/doctored/broken disk/computer), as it makes him very likely to get slammed for contempt of court. Great points about the merits of 3rd party discovery, though.
Very rarely do people from third parties ever get elected. When they do, rarely (never?) do they have enough control in the House or Senate to effect changes or stop things that Republicans and Democrats are both supporting.
Voting third party may get them in office, but seems about as effective as peeing in a pool the size of Texas. Sure, you can do it, but will anyone notice?
1/27/2011 Update: Judge Illston has granted the TRO against George Hotz despite the venue issue still being contested by Hotz's attorney. And I'm out of town. Since CMU has a west coast campus in California and is therefore potentially subject to Judge Illston's jurisdiction, I have disabled my mirror until I can get back to Pittsburgh and look more closely at the current state of things.
It looks like he's not currently mirroring it? I didn't notice an update after that saying it was back up. Also, it looks like Geohot's website now links to a jailbreak.zip again? I thought the injuction prevented that but I could be wrong.
Free plane ticket and a year's rent in a country of their choosing, that doesn't include ours unless they're a citizen, I suppose, though that's a raw deal for some too. If they feel that going back to Elbonia is going to get them killed, and would rather go stay in Sweden? A-OK.
You don't occupy the same house. You don't wake up next to each-other every day. You don't go to sleep next to each-other every night. You don't have to balance a budget, or deal with bills. You just see each-other periodically for fun stuff.
So true. I firmly believe that people who are courting should live together for a year (preferably) before a proposal, and then while engaged. There's a lot of stress to deal with at that time, and sharing responsibilities like that will basically show you what being married will be like. You'll know that he's a grumpy waker, she gets at WTF-thirty in the morning, etc.
The trick is to find somebody you like, and then actually get to know them well enough to learn what kind of baggage they've got. And, at the same time, be honest enough that they can see what kind of baggage you've got.
The trouble is, how do you know that someone's outgrown the "doing stupid shit out of revenge" thing? Employers looking at a stack of applications are likely to pass over someone even remotely risky like that.
If one had found a stone circle that you thought was Really Old and deserved investigating, I could see the merits of trying to minimize the location's publicity. The less people that walk in and take stones, or move them, or otherwise mess with it, the better. (That doesn't mean it can't be an outcrop circle, as Chrisq said.;))

... Which would be a misspelling of the proper word for the same thing?
Why? I would imagine for the same reason that they write tools: laziness is a virtue when it lets you save work later.
That would imply a much larger membership than most people would be comfortable with...
Makes you wonder where the heck people get the money to spend on the courses.

Crazy people of any gender could do that.

Maybe ${MAGIC}
That could be awesome.
"Eggs are ready" sensor, I imagine?

Buttheads, clearly. :)
What is this? I was thinking maybe it had the keys coded in the URL or GPS coordinates, but ... the numbers seem to small.
I'm just waiting for Penny Arcade to come up with a new unified console system. Less jackassery towards fans, and it'd make juice, too!

What about the people kidnapped from places in Europe, that are not battlefields, or arrested in the US?
Clearly, we give them the choice of where to go.

Sounds like a Japanese game show.

That's a very good way to explain it. :)

We do say it's built with alien technology. :) Now to look for parentheses in cave art...

The only one I think I could point to as having not done that (yet) is China. It's a cultural juggernaut.
