I find books invaluable. Perhaps it would be different if I had 2 screens and I could put an editor on one screen and the tutorials on another, but as it stands I find it easier to flip pages to find what I am looking for.
Unless you're copying code fragments, I don't get the benefit (other than portability) of a soft copy over a hard one.
But how well distributed would this be in reality? The Long Tail will help us and hinder us. Let's say that the majority of/. readers and their ilk set up their own servers.
But the vast majority of the population, if OpenID became popular, would in reality use a handful of service providers. A successful attack, either technical or social, would result in access to their credentials.
A successful OpenID service provider may as well paint a bullseye on it's back. And going to the paranoid extreme, what is to stop someone setting up a honey trap server?
His anecdote doesn't stray too far from the truth. My father went to a Catholic school in Northern Ireland in the 1960s, and the priests there would regularly beat him (not every day though).
Catholic schools in the US appear to be significantly different as they are private rather than state run and therefore they have more accountability to the parents.
Most likely (IANAB2E) the calculation degrades. With all 24 sensors in operation, you will get A% accuracy. With 23 sensors you will get A-B%, 22 sensors you get A-B-C% etc.
At some point the accuracy will drop to a low enough level that if it happens in the air you will probably be okay to land, but you don't want to take off again until the problem is resolved.
You may use any name you wish unless you intend to commit fraud. From wikipedia:
* One may be employed, do business, and enter into other contracts, and sue and be sued under any name they choose at will (Lindon v. First National Bank 10 F. 894, Coppage v. Kansas 236 U.S. 1, In re McUlta 189 F. 250).
* Such a change carries the exact same legal weight as a court decreed name change as long as it is not done with fraudulent intent (In re McUlta 189 F. 250, Christianson v. King County 196 F. 791, United States v. McKay 2 F.2d 257).
* This at will right is guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution, specifically the Fourteenth Amendment (Jech v. Burch 466 F.Supp. 714).

I work as a chemical engineer. In my experience, state run chemical and power plants are the dangerous, run down ones while those that exist to make a profit are well maintained to ensure they stay online.
8 cents per US gallon. That is how much diesel costs in Venezuela (at least it was last August) - even nationalising the infrastructure and applying a massive subsidy there is no way that they will be able to continue producing fuel and keep up maintenance.
The various ammonia and methanol plants in Trinidad are a good example of what I am talking about. Ones run by the state firms are poorly looked after, run riskily close to the design limits, and with no care taken with regards to safety and permitting for enclosed vessel entry, hot work or other potentially dangerous operations. Scaffolding is haphazard at best. The privately owned plants on the other hand ARE run to international safety standards.
State owned companies run knowing that if anything goes wrong they will get bailed out or just not even investigated. Private ones can get closed down any time.
Two TOWNS in a ZIP code? Wow. In the uk, each post code covers one street or less, and if you regularly receive over 50 letters a day (i.e you are a business) you get your own post code.

The First Amendment uses the phrase "the people" rather than specifying "citizens", in contrast to the Fifteenth Amendment:
"Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude--
Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

Small clarification. A cow fed with lamb brains is not okay, as it would be a carnivore and all carnivore meat is haraam.

The Judge also wants him to cough up $43,000 to cover the Bar costs because the whole thing was so outrageous.

Whoosh.
Circumference is proportional to diameter. AREA is proportional to the square!
On my current project they have picked zero.

That's good - I like the fact that they've gone with the international dialling code for the ZIP.

Oh, the other one.
I highly doubt the Chinese would respect the patents. They don't with any GTL technology, anyway.
Foxboro I/A can be bought for either Windows or Solaris - at least that's what I'm using at the moment.
I don't think "10" was supposed to be in binary.

The answer to both of your questions is yes. The proof of murder is irrelevant.
Kidnapping is by definition illegal taking away. Following due process of law is not kidnapping.
