Actually, no. The seatbelt ding is an "insecure indicator". When you are properly buckled, there isn't any warning or noise: there is only a "ding" when you are unbuckled. Chrome is gradually making the "not secure" more prominent for all plain http sites.
The fact that the teams supply the balls doesn't matter. They are inspected by officials prior to the game.
However, after the inspection, someone went in and removed air from the balls. Touching or altering the balls after inspection is not allowed (and could have been done regardless of who supplied them).
I keep hearing that "anyone" can do this. Please point me to where I can sign up to collocate my server with the market computers - because that is actually necessary to set up an effective HFT system.

Wrong. The afterlife (flash sideways) happened many years after the very real events of the island. After everyone died (everyone dies eventually) they find each other and need to come to grips with the events of the island before they move on
Milliseconds do matter for high speed traders. Most high speed traders have their trading machines colocated at the exchanges because milliseconds matter. Many strategies are dependent on being faster (ie cross-market arbitrage).
Most people don't realize that burning a flag is on of the ONLY ways to properly dispose of it....
US Flag Code. TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > Sec. 8(k). It states:
"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning"
Bad laws should NOT be followed. The American legal system is designed so that one of the few ways that a citizen can get a law overturned is by challenging the law in court after being convicted of it. Blindly following laws because "they are the law" is not the American way.
I save 5-10 minutes a day by driving above the speed limit. In 20 years of work, that ~40,000 minutes. I don't know how valuable your time is, but my time is near priceless.
The key is making the forward algorithm easy for computers but the backwards algorithm hard. This is pretty much the basis of a lot of encryption. Its very easy to multiply 2 large prime numbers, but very hard to factor the product of two primes.
For the captcha, its very easy to generate the image but (much) harder to go in the reverse
exactly. The problem really isn't gun control. People will just find other ways to kill each other.
And if you look at somewhere like Canada, where virtually everyone has at least 3-4 guns, the gun related death rate is much lower.
Actually, Scheme/LISP was designed for "correctness" rather than for ease of compiler implementation. Take for instance something like
x = y + 1;
in C. That doesn't actually mean "x = y + 1" it means "x = y + 1 (mod 2^32)". Why is it done this way? Because it is a lot easier for a compiler designer to implement integers if they are always a fixed number of bits.
On the other hand, Scheme does it the correct way, so that (set! x (+ y 1)) actually does what it looks like it does. This is one of the reasons C compilers took off in the 70s while lisp compilers stagnated. I suggest you read the paper "Worse is Better"

While there are 703 episodes, that doesn't translate into 703 hours or Trek because of commercials. In order for her to watch 624 hours, each episode has to be at least 53.26 minutes long. Although the amount of commercials shown in an hour varies by time and station, it almost undoubtably is more than 7 minutes/hour.
Its not that much about constitutionality when it comes to children. If they could prove that games were harmful to minors, the court would be okay with restricting its sale to them.
The problem is, they CANT prove that violent/graphic video games are harmful to minors, because they're not. According to this site, violent crime rates for children is at an all-time low.

Except unemployment isn't rising. In developing countries, there is usually an abundance of low paying jobs.. and in first-world countries like the US unemployment is declining.
IP address space is very segmented. Everyone doesn't have an equal share to the available space. For example, MIT has all of 18.*.*.* allocated to it. Do we need that many addresses? No. Can someone else who does need it use it? NO.
On the other hand, countries like South Korea only have a handful of addresses for the who country. They have to basically put the entire country behind a NAT.
NATs are the reasonn IPv6 will never catch on. Why spend so much effort implementing a new protocol, when you can bandage the problem with a NAT?
Now when we observe a black hole merger with LIGO or LISA, we can test Einstein's theory and see whether or not he was right.
More likely: Whether or not the equations used are a correct approximation for Einstein's equations.
And even more likely: Whether or not the computers performed the calculations correctly (the chips are made from Intel, and we all know the history of Intel screwing up floating point math)

'1' + 1; returns '11'. It's weird when you have javascript's type coercion.

I suggest you read:

It shows numerous "I don't have to pay tax" arguments as well as case law and reasoning.
Great idea, accept documents created by the very people accused of cheating as proof that they didn't cheat.
What other kind of proof would there be?
Birth certificate? -- government issued
Drivers license? -- government issues
Parental affidavit?
How do you definitively prove someone's age?

Not really. They get that 6%-8% return in a week as opposed to 6%-8% in a month (or a year) which is what most "safe" investments claim.
