Plus as some cartoons are over the age over 18 like the Simpsons for example.
Not to mention the dubious notion of assigning an age to a cartoon character from a visual inspection, or the fact that cartoons can portray completely fictitious species. No, that's not 10 yr old child, that's a 100 year old elf! Whose to say?
I'm hard-pressed to find a legitimate, rational reason for cartoons being classified as child porn or "obscene" (as others have noted this judgment falls under). Unless there is scientific evidence that even cartoon porn results in actual harm to people, not just children specifically, what could possibly be gained from banning it? It's purely an emotional reaction, and such judgments do not belong in law, particularly one that seeks to limit First Amendment rights. Ditto for the whole notion of "obscenity".
Also, since I'm pretty sure you were trying to insinuate that global warming is caused by solar activity, I'm going to point out that if you only use that for the modeling, our temperatures should be dropping (overall, not just for this next decade), not raising.
Rolling your own doesn't get you all the automation that come with packaged solutions for free. Stuff like all the supported protocols (SMB, AFP, HTTP, Rsync, etc.), automatic mirroring, pluggable UPS, and expandable RAID disks (see the ReadyNAS Pro -- seems like a decent SOHO solution).
Because application-specific knowledge allows easier and often better optimizations than application-generic protocols, which have to be good enough for all applications at the expense of top end performance for specific applications. Isn't it obvious?
children -- are hugely suggestible, and can honestly remember things that never happened as a subliminal response to unintentional bias in the interviewer.
It's not that they remember fictional events, they simply report fictional events. Big difference. The child is aware that it's a fabrication.
Cache misses if the code is used. If it's not, it incurs no penalty except for the piddly bit of space it uses on the harddrive.
Of course it can cause cache misses! Introducing new code reorders existing code which can easily cause cache misses in the instruction stream, not to mention alignment issues and cache misses on the data due to new fields required for the new features.
Even better, create an audio driver which saves the audio stream directly (assuming the audio subsystem doesn't have such hooks already). I use Audacity to record audio directly from other programs all the time.
I'm still very surprised how few people are aware of LLVM. It's a truly low-level hardware abstraction layer, on which you can implement any language. OCaml, Haskell and Python have bindings for it IIRC.
You wait until there is nigerianMalwareEliza V1 that can simultaneously hold several thousand online conversations whilst trawling for peoples information (think: dob, mothers maiden name, first school, pets name) or finding potential scam victims.
Very interesting idea. Imagine datamining a person's account login (gmail, bank, etc.), extracting the secret question, then a bot posing that secret question after a sufficiently lengthy conversation with the user in question.
I think a lot of the time it's the way the "solutions" are presented, ie. matter of factly, as if the problem wasn't even a big deal in the first place. I think you have to listen to the half hour of ranting first, before you can suggest, and I stress SUGGEST, that your solution is one way to solve it. Also be sure no to present it as an obvious solution or as clearly the one and only possible solution.
Of course, this all assumes that you don't already have a rational rapport with the woman in question; they do exist!
Emotion is one of the key components which defines us as a species.
I'm getting a little tired of hearing this crock. Emotions are experienced by many species. Our ability to reason is humanity's only defining trait, and even that is under question given the intelligence some mammals are recently displaying (dolphins for instance).
It steams me that the author of that article seems bent on pointing out that MS has this "ultimate plan" to kill Adobe.
It steams me too! Their ultimate plan is quite clearly intended to kill all Internet competitors, not just Adobe! Shame on all of you for thinking MS would be so short-sighted!
If they're both 12V terminals, then I would touch both. CRT capacitors are only dangerous because they store extremely high voltages (5,000-10,000V). The danger of touching the terminals of a 12V capacitor is equivalent to touching the terminals of a 12V battery.
A voltage is only dangerous if it's higher than the breakdown voltage of your body (~40V IIRC), in which case it will establish a current, possibly through your heart thus stopping it.
I was not aware that society's subjective judgment of whether someone has made "enough" money from one's intellectual property was a factor in copyright law. Either there's a copyright infringement or there isn't. Rowling's wealth and success are irrelevant.
To a certain extent it does. After all, copyright is granted to reward authors and promote the advancement of the useful arts and sciences. If it's generally agreed that Rowling has been adequately rewarded, is there much sense in her still having copyright over her works?
Did you try it yourself? I have, and it led me to create a batch script just so I could load the user profile manager and launch a separate process when I wanted to.
Also, think about it: two processes sharing the same user profile is a consistency nightmare. With threads they can at least use in-memory locking for accessing disk-objects.

The Atom is the right now the most interesting CPU around.
I disagree. The Via Nano is far more interesting.

Is there a site or paper describing the orbital patterns or our current position?

Why is that?

That puts a pretty serious cap on the precision of his answer.
Indeed, but not the significance of his answer, as even a factor of two difference in the number of civilizations is still quite compelling.

Easy way to fool machines:
You: what is the third word in this question?
Elbot: Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that making statements would always be third?
Any question reflecting on itself requires a whole new level of reasoning that I don't think programs will achieve anytime soon.

The latter, said Goldfarb, should make it easier for would-be Silverlight developers."
I'm glad to see Microsoft's goblin integration program is still going strong.

Batteries also have discharge hazards, so there's no real difference here.
Come on now don't fall into this trap of thinking Apple did everything first (re. level sensing laptops).
Nah, they just built the first one people actually use.
They're smoking the Benjamins that have been put in their pockets.

If you want guaranteed pixel-perfect control, use images. HTML allows you that much.
and most Webkit/KHTML implementations currently use one process per browser window (like Firefox).
Firefox does not use one process per browser window. Firefox uses one process per user profile.
