0.0.0.0 is smaller in RAM than 127.0.0.1 because the numbers look smaller?... How much RAM do you have that the loading of the ASCII-encoded file is a serious difficulty?
Not true, most small arms, non rifles, I think are very close to subsonic or in the "transonic" area of mach 1, give or take a dozen m/s. I just looked up one counter example, and some.45 ACP cartridges, according to Wikipedia, are at around 270m/s. That's 30m/s below the speed of sound, depending on other factors.
You're making a straw man, a better example would be.

Parts of Google are being censored, but you are informed of it, and Google is not altering the content of the items being censored in any way whatsoever. So if you manage to find a way to get through the censor, Google has no power to alter the content of the page. What, do you think someone at Google goes through the NYTimes and edits the editorial content there to be more palatable to Chinese concerns so that when its googled, the fake NYTimes pages come up? Get real. If anything, the NYTimes would oblige the Chinese government themselves sooner than that would happen.
The era of perpetual copyright was brought on by a few individuals that refused to invent and create any longer, and instead sought to make money indefinitely off the nostalgic value of their works.
I'm looking at you, Disney.
And to you, c6gunner, I'm not saying that copyright shouldn't exist, but perhaps... the original 14 year timeframe was adequate. The film, Iron Man, made $100,000,000 in three days of sales, in 14, 50, or well over one hundred years can Hollywood justify why it needs to retain the sole distribution rights to something that was envisioned by someone who has already died? (Referring to the 100+ year copyright terms most countries have these days.)
Yeah, I've been reading about that, but it's really only free if you're in Europe, where you don't have to worry about software patents.
That's great for open source where you can claim you're only distributing it from Europe and don't intend to make 'sales' of any kind in the US. This is how it is possible to acquire free implementations of non-free codecs in the US for Ubuntu, in my experience. But for an actual business it's a problem., especially for startup that lacks the ability to engage in cross-licensing that makes the problem disappear. It's no doubt to me that IBM could do this with Microsoft, the IBM patent warchest is a license to print money/contracts when dealing with other software companies. So what does a startup do? They lack the ability to sell an actual product in the US without vulnerabilities to patents and frivolous patent lawsuits that eat up gobs of money and allow their competition (Microsoft, namely) to bury them, and open source vendors stand on shaky ground and have significantly fewer options for distribution.
It's a bad situation for everyone, I'm normally defending Microsoft's products recently on Slashdotâ€"the Ribbon is a fantastic UI innovation that I hope to see use in other ridiculously overcomplicated applications that have submenus that have submenus that have... It's menus all the way down, or so I've heard philosophers and UI designers say. But in this area, I don't see a lot of positive. The US desperately needs patent reform to fix this problem, and until that's done, a huge market is closed off for people seeking to use those "coding secrets."
I don't see that at all, but the problem isn't just the MS 'stack' from client application to server, but the fact that MS is pushing all sorts of integration and features that competitors don't have.
Everyone else (StarOffice, Lotus Notes) is so busy playing catch-up to compete on features, and once Microsoft hooks these businesses on things like SharePoint and what-not, well, suddenly switching to the competition means you lose functionality, and productivity in doing things "the old way" again.
It's a bad deal all around and I really would like to see Microsoft open up things like SharePoint for interoperability, but if you honestly think that'll happen in short order, you're living in Candy Land.
Phi works even in base 2, and works in all integer bases at least (the effect will be different in non-integer or other 'strange' bases.) Notice how phi^2 is 1+phi? That isn't going to change in base 2. In base 2, 1 is still... 1. So instead of being "1.????" it'll be "10.????" with the -exact same- ???? decimal expansion.
If I recall, they didn't just go so far as to imitate NEC, but even had their own infrastructure set up, and their own R&D set up to allow them to offer devices that the real NEC never did.
No, the point is that if you're already using the largest foreseeable bucket size, that there is no larger bucket available to you... that is, you're basically drying up the river at your location, then... There's no more river to use.
Even if you had a bigger bucket, you can't make the river (the sun) output more energy on demand. So if you're already providing peak power, that's it.
I can't honestly tell you if this applies to solar thermal, I'm only halfway done with the comments;p. Seriously though, you made a huge misinterpretation.
People will do that no matter what, until the end of time. Every example of dangling a carrot, a picture of a bunny or a cute cat in front of a user will result in them doing whatever you ask them to do. Want to see a cute cat picture? Run this program. Or save it and then run it as administrator.
That's always going to be the case until we can cut down on the number of programs requiring this "run as administrator" user intervention. If we can get Windows devs to the point where 99% of programs can run with low rights, and only 1% run only with admin rights, then we get to the point where we can convince non-savvy users that something is up if a program requires administrator anything, or if a dialog pops up. Then we can get to the point where instead of having relatively innocent yellow dialogs, every UAC prompt is a bright red warning sign. The reason they can't do that -now- is because it would intimidate users, the reason they can't recommend against hitting "OK" in the UAC is because it would unnecessarily warn against the majority of applications. That's clearly wrong. We need to change that.
The only way that goal can be reached is by reducing the number of developers who expect admin permissions. That can only be accomplished by punishing them in some way for doing so, by adding loops for users to jump through (we know they will, anyway) and encouraging developers to reduce that. Then, and only then, can we increase the severity of the warning and the wording therein when an application wants admin rights.
I'm not going to dignify the rest of your post with a reasoned, well thought out response, explaining my views on the second amendment or the misinterpretation that the constitution is fraught with...
Because you strawmanned me -twice-. First you assumed that I am against the 2nd amendment as a personal right, and then launched a tirade against me replete with quotation. (This substantiates my view, however, that the constitution as a document is inadequate at explaining all of its content.) Then you later accused me suggesting that by mentioning requirements for election, I was attempting to justify an oligarchy, aristocracy, an elite class, and the mere suggestion that I would only want a particular class of people reeks of an insinuation of racism or sexism or something-ism that I can only say is deplorable.
And the result, we have seen, is that when you are too terse, the true meaning of certain sentences is lost or pushed aside.
We can't even agree on most of the amendments, certain sentences are twisted and abused, the entire constitution of the US is wrapped up in a semantic nightmare wherein we try to interpret what we -want- to interpret out of a two hundred year old document. It wasn't long ago that people didn't directly vote in their Representatives and Senators. That's a pretty big change don't you think? The fact that the constitution sets out so little on the requirements for election?
The US Constitution is a -great- document, don't get me wrong, but its brevity has been its downfall.
Economics still work if a voucher is in play, it just sets a minimum price. (It makes no sense to offer the converter at $39 when you're guaranteed to get at least one dollar more as long as your customers are rational.)
If one company is selling them at $60 and one is selling them at $50, the guy selling for $50 is actually selling at half the price for the consumer.

The simple solution to that is to store logs offshore.
On Windows machines the hosts file can be used to deny certain domains or IP addresses by defining them to 127.0.0.1

Yeah, but imagine how harrowing the stresses would be if you -needed- to perform ACM in a B-52?
I'm thinking that if worst came to worst, the B-52 pilot would have to get creative or there would be some -really- bad stresses.
