Right, which is exactly what the other poster said: the electors in the US system are directly elected by the people, the electors in the German system are not.
Except the electors in the US system are not directly elected by the people, they are appointed by state officials.
It just so happens that state law requires that they vote a certain way.
However if one of them decided to violate state law and change their vote, there is absolutely nothing anybody could do about it.
The elector would be thrown in jail, but they could not be forced to change their vote.
which itself (unlike the electors in the US) is NOT elected by the people, but nominated by parties in the Parliament (Bundestag)
Actually the president is technically elected by the electoral college. All members of the electoral college are free to vote for whom ever they want under federal law. However all states have laws requiring the electoral college member for their state to vote according to popular vote of the people in that state (or the county election regions).
So technically the president of the united states only represents the 583 members of the electoral college.:P
Yeah, kernel infrastructure that can't cope with running out of memory. That fills me with confidence. Particularly I've run ZFS on OpenSolaris on a 48MB Pentium laptop and it coped fine.
It's not from running out of memory, it's from running out of addressable memory. Up until 7.2 the FreeBSD kernel could address at most 2GB of kernel memory. That is no longer a problem, it has been significantly extended to 512GB.
The difference is that by declining the EULA the seller is required BY LAW to give you a full refund on the purchase price of the software.
Either ASUS can ask for both the laptop and the software back and give him a full refund or they can accept the return of only the software and give him a refund equivalent to the full purchase price.
Clearly ASUS did not get Windows XP from Microsoft for 6 USD.
So it's really not that big of a deal for HTTPS. Attacks exactly like that already exist, they are called cross site request forgery. However this is a significant attack against other SSL wrapped protocols.

Possibly because he won't have a 'home' during his travels? I mean why pay rent when you're not there?

I like how you assume that they will die to save us.
They will die to save us because I refuse to die to save them.
A rather large part of the big bad "world economy" is feeding people.
The truth is that reducing energy consumption will almost certainly cause millions of people to die.
The question is whether their deaths will be a sacrifice to save the rest of us.

Experience does not equal ability.
It never has and it never will.
It tends to be a good indicator of ability, but only when no other indicator is available.
The truth is that climate research is not very complicated.
They may be experts, but they certainly dont actually know very much.
... I don't doubt that climate change can be human-affected but for fucks sake it's been decades now.
I don't doubt that _evolution_ but for fucks sake it's been decades now.
Wow, that argument works on a number of things.
Climate change is only dangerous if it is fast acting.
Evolution is still evolution even if it takes a million years.
The timeline for climate change is inherently important in proving it is a danger, the timeline for evolution is not inherently necessary to prove it.
I despise sites that simply reproduce content from forums or mailing lists like that.
Which is why whenever I find one with my comment on it I immediately send their host a DMCA take down.
Finally a good use for the DMCA :P
That student really could not hold 110lbs of rice?
REALLY?
I'm calling shenanigans
I would seriously like to see you try to defeat both NX and -fstack-protector.
If they claimed in open court they could be in some serious trouble when it turns out that in fact they did pay for the license.
Yeah because people going to eat sushi at a normal restaurant are going to expect to get tuna that costs upwards of 300 USD per pound.
Yeah that makes perfect sense....

The Ion tiger has a 2.5 meter wingspan. The Qinetiq Zephyr has an 18 meter wingspan.
You cannot seriously be trying to compare the two.
90% of the what?
I'm throwing away mod points for this reply.
The claim that you make is patently and completely FALSE.
For every dollar that California pays in federal taxes we receive approximately $0.91 in federal projects.
California is propping up the rest of the country.
Are you serious? HTTP is a text based protocol. If you really want to optimize that much forget about shortening your urls and turn on compression.
That would only be effective if they had done that in the first place.
If they tried to do that now their creditors would cry foul and have the CEO replaced.
Find new job, report old employer, get reward https://reporting.bsa.org/usa/rewardsconditions.aspx .
That would take what? 10 Gbps?
Believe me that is relatively easily doable. If you're highly motivated it would be much easier.
Shocker economics problems are beyond the relatively simple equations that were being used to model entire markets.
NO SHIT

The cochlea is just the sensor. AI is interested in how those electrical signals are translated into meaningful recognition in the brain.
