Although if GP was complaining about too much micro in galciv2, SE4 is definitely not the game for them. OTOH if you like micro its pretty fun (AI is pretty bad though).
It's almost impossible to impossible to prevent fraud in off the internet voting too. The disadvantage in any computerized voting is that it makes fraud easier to conduct on a large scale if it is possible to commit at all.
Yeah you can't trust anyone - but the lack of trust is the exact same degree with non-electronic machines. You can use the exact same methods to secure the electronic machines as you use to secure the current ones.
Just tax the sale of the gold/items/whatever for real dollars. If you don't spend real money, the gov doesn't tax it, if you do, you do get taxed. Very simple, and it then only affects the people it should - the people making real money off this sort of thing.
Where is your proof that "Children exposed to excessive (i.e., R-rated) movie violence statistically are more aggressive and prone to rage and temper"? And does the evidence show that watching those movies caused the aggression, or is it just correlated?
I'm pretty sure that last time that SUVs are better than a Prius thing came up here, many people did a very good (and reasoned) job of smashing the claims to really little pieces.
And if that sort of ground based coordination is too hard, you could try making the cell phone not connect to everything it sees (assuming its possible).
I've had a lot of luck with Verizon's DSL. 180-200 KB/s down, ~30 KB/s up, no cap that I've ever seen, although the max I've probably ever dled in a month was no more than ~10-15 GB. However, I'm not sure that the service we bought is supposed to be 180 KB/s, but I'm not complaining. Tech support has been reasonably incompetent, but luckily the line has only really had problems once and apparently the problem was with the wires on the street.
Less than 9.81 m/s^2 I would expect. They are in atmosphere and I would expect a large part of each to be pretty undense. (what is the antonym of dense?)
Oh yes, thats the best way to do a hard reset under linux, I don't believe I've ever had that fail. However, SAK is something rather different - (I believe) it kills the running console apps so that you can log in while being sure that nothing is pretending to be the login program, as sysrq is handled at the kernel level and no userspace program can grab it. Ctrl-Alt-Del serves a similar function in (somewhat) more secure windows setups.
OK, then, that makes sense. Fallback mechanism must have screwed up or something, as copying all the old registry data from a recent restore point worked just fine.
Huh, to where? I recently had to fix a computer which wouldn't boot because part of the registry was corrupted, and I couldn't find any backup other than in a System Restore point. Maybe I just didn't know where it was.
/boot - kernels/initrds I'm not using (which should be tossed out). configs. I don't know what would happen if an insignificant byte in grub.conf changed, but I generally wouldn't bet on being safe./sbin - oddly enough, lots. fdisk/cfdisk. fsck + friends would probably boot somewhat. e2image, e2label, ctrlaltdel,shutdown,mkfs*,installkernel./etc - much of it, just to boot. Boot and have everything work, far less of it - but at least I could usually boot and I would usually know what was broken.
But yes, I understand your point. However - a broken byte in an unbacked up (yeah a bad idea) registry that causes complete failure is far far harder to find than one in/etc, as the one in/etc would generally be in a single plain-text file, and you'd often be able to guess which file from error messages./sbin and/boot are binary files that don't contain custom configuration data - if something breaks, you can easily replace it without thinking hard. If you lost all of/etc or the registry, you would have to reconfigure your system, which may be far more work.
You couldn't GPL a format. You could GPL the specs (although you probably would use the GFDL), but that wouldn't make a ton of sense - you want a spec to be consistent.
But repairs may not need any items from earth (we can hope) - just moving parts around + stuff. The fuel has to get up there, whether its inside the normal satellite or the repair satellite, and the energy cost is the same either way. It still could help, as if you launch one with fuel for many sats, it could extend their lifetimes a lot, but unlike with repairing it won't save as much fuel.
Keep in mind this is only some (or maybe most) teachers. I've definitely had very good teachers, but I've also had some really, really dumb teachers. Luckily (for me) my school seems to have managed to stick most of the good teachers with the higher level classes, so I've managed to avoid most of the bad teachers. Of course this means that other students get stuck with the bad teachers, and I have heard from some of my teachers about how hard it is to fire someone, even when it is incredibly obvious they should be.
Yup, see the old Orion drive project. Basically you stick a thick "pusher plate" at the rear end of your ship with a way to drop nukes out the rear. Then you set off a nuke at some distance, pushing you forward. Then drop another one + set it off. Its a decent source of propulsion, and something we know we could do - we can build nukes easy.

You do realize that we have some pretty dumb hate speech laws here in the states too? They may or may not be as bad as the EU's but we have them.
Um the version of ls running now on most computers is certainly not the version of 10 years ago.

More like "innovation".

In science class with significant figures, 4 may be 1 sig fig and therefore your answer also has to be 1 sig fig.

Its SysRq-K right? So Alt-PrintScreen[Release]K.
If you're lucky. Often the game won't work, or will play way too slowly, just like with wine.

If you want to, you could do that particular setup in linux - stick apt-get as a cron job, and I know there are ways to cache the apt downloads.
You do realize that economies of scale are pretty meaningless when dealing with data over the internet, right?
