The person/people who currently have control of the name have a placeholder page there that is clearly nothing more than a sign that says "this name for sale". They have no legitimate interest in the name outside of extorting money from someone who actually has a use for the name. This is the definition of cybersquatting. Just to throw my own two cents into the mix, I've been shit on by cybersquatters several times and I personally believe they should all be drowned in boiling goat's blood.
The state of Iowa here in the US has a system very much like that in place and it works quite well in my experience. You call a toll-free number, tell them roughly where you want to dig and a couple of days later you have a mess of flags and spray paint that tells you where not to dig.
The upside to the disgrace that HP has become is that they are on the leading edge of green energy. The power generated from Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard spinning in their graves is now sufficient to power their entire West Coast operation.
the signature is actually refuting the "right-wing" idea of atheism as a religion. Retchdog was so prepared to be offended that he didn't even bother to parse the sentence beyond the spelling error. Congratulations retchdog, you managed to combine a mis-interpretation, an ad hominem and a style over substance fallacy into one tidy flamebait!
I believed exactly the same thing as you, in fact I could have written your post. I was 15 then and was convinced that I had everything figured out.
I have since lived another 16 years; believe me son, when you grow up a little bit you'll realize that there are a LOT of shades between black and white and not only do you not know everything, but you will NEVER know even a tiny fraction of anything.
There are things in this world that are beyond the comprehension of the human mind. Are they the work of God? I have no idea. Neither do you.
Beat me to it. This is a reference to the game Pandemic 2 for those who don't get it. I've been so frustrated by Madagascar that I actually name my diseases after it. Madagascan Insanity Pox is one of the few that actually made it.

Sounds like an acknowledgment of a creator to me.
Faith and science are not mutually exclusive, they never have been.
Sounds like you fit the mindset of EvE players. The game can be a relentless grindfest or a fantastic exercise in playing the market. It's all in how you choose to play the game.
It sounds to me like a concerned citizen reported what they believed to be suspicious behavior, which the FBI followed up on. The subject of the story was already clearly suspicious of those in power, and when two agents appeared at his door it simply reinforced his preconceived notions.
I think you have not read the books or listened to the original radio plays. If you had you would know that he is referred to as a "paranoid android" by Mr. Beeblebrox himself. This doesn't make the usage right, but it is correct in the context of canon.
I understand that that is how normal laser mics work, but in the first sentence of TFA: "researchers from Inverse Path were able to point a laser on the reflective surface of a laptop"
That would imply that if you wanted to listen in, you would have to pass your laser through the window, bounce it off of the laptop, and back through the window before doing your interferometric measurements.
Their measurements worked because they were measuring soundwaves propagated through a solid material (the laptop) directly to the reflective surface. Making readings of similar quality from a window in the room is MUCH harder due to things like the relatively poor conduction of sound from surface to air to surface and the existence of other sounds in the room. Reading acoustic signals directly off of an object that is vibrating is infinitely easier.
The important part of this accomplishment is the algorithms that they developed to extract and extrapolate valid data from an otherwise useless stream of noises.

A federal judge isn't subject to a state constitution.
I think that's what you meant, though Harry Blackmun etc may agree with your original statement.
The first image I got was Neo being taken over by Agent Smith. You'll like being me, Missster Anderson!

That's kind of the point for me. I see to it that the person I waste the time of gets in as much trouble as possible so that they either:
1. Get fired
2. Quit
3. Kill themselves
4. Kill everyone in their office, then themselves
Though that order is not necessarily the order of my preference.
That means I can attach GPS devices to police cars! Never again will I get a ticket while driving through the People's Republic of Wisconsin!

I understand that several great minds from MIT have tackled this problem, so yes a beaver might help.

*clap* *clap* I wish you had logged in before delivering that gem so I could mod you up.
Damn you beat me to it. This tech basically turns the brain into the world's most complex light gun.

Ah, thank you. Successfully trolled I suppose.
Let me be the first to say:
WHAT?

Enough said.

You can buy a PS/2 to USB adapter for 5-10 bucks online, 15 at Wal-Mart. There is no excuse for a crappy keyboard.
Since typical window glass blocks a large portion of the infrared spectrum that lasers are tuned to, their idea of being stealthy seems less likely.
There's no money to be made on future generations that way. Think of it as pay-per-play genetics.
