And to ban backwards time travel, you also have to ban FTL travel. Because FTL violates causality, it allows backwards time travel.
But it doesn't allow stationary backwards time travel. You can "travel back in time" in the strict physics sense regarding special relativity, but you can't do it and end up where you were before you left. Science Fiction FTL is more like teleportation than special relativity FTL.
In a certain way of thinking, what a firewall does is to block traffic to unauthorized ports on improperly secured machines, so if you secure your machines then the firewall shouldn't be necessary.
And Darth Vader really did betray and murder Luke's father, from a certain point of view. I use firewalls all the time, because I've got ports that don't need to be world accessible (and trusting tcpwrappers for everything is silly). Also, just because daemon foo is "secure" now doesn't mean it will be a month from now. If you need the port locally, but not externally, firewall it completely off from the outside and be a little happier.
uh... people who harm children need to have their kneecaps broken, white hot iron pokers shoved up their asses, and then they need to be shot in the gut and allowed to die in slow agony.
they don't need to be defended, if you feel they do, then i suggest the same treatment for you.
I already posted in this discussion, else I'd mod you up from your -1. Moderators: Troll is when someone is trying to be offensive. Flamebait is when someone is being a troll to goad a flamewar. The parent post is informative. There is no "-1 disagree", no matter how much you apparently identify with pedos.
The example password would last for quite a while against a brute force attack. Anyone worth their salt wouldn't allow that many auth attempts from one IP.
I'm sure you've noticed from your logs that brute force attempts are made from botnets now too? A lot harder to block.
Do you actually communicate with all 500 million of the people on Facebook? I and everyone I know communicates with fewer people on Facebook (in the mere 100's) than with other communication channels (especially email). With/. alone, I've received more responses from and responded to more people than I communicate with via FB. The point is, FB isn't a fabulous new technology; it just happens to be a popular website.
Funny, there is one medium that has always been more popular than Facebook...if I remember correctly, it is called "The Internet," and it was around years before Facebook ever debuted. I seem to remember that network connecting billions of people around the world, and Facebook simply being one of the ways in which people use the Internet to connect to each other.
Double funny. I sure did enjoy the days of yesteryear when, while browsing altavista.com, I was able to communicate directly with billions of other people...
Oh wait, that's not how it worked. The WWW was a conversation between you and the server. You sure have to stretch things a long way to insist that by virtue of viewing the same piece of HTML that you were somehow "connected" to everyone else who was looking at it too. That's like saying a library is a great way to meet people. Yes, there you will meet lots of people, who wish you would shut up so they could get back to reading. Notice a difference between that model, and Facebook? People are now empowered at a scale *never before seen* to communicate directly with each other.
Young one, "The Internet" is more than WWW. I remember communicating with people via computer networks prior to 1994 (and after, without using Mosiac or Netscape).
Oh, and Facebook? It's just a website. All it is is your browser interacting with a server. No one is communicating directly with each other via Facebook. They're all communicating with Facebook and Facebook is relaying the messages (when it feels like it).
Why *would* you use real stuff these days, even presuming "real stuff" applies to the story at hand?
Because every time someone says "wow, that looks so real I didn't notice", five years down the road, all of the imperfections show. Jar Jar once was a miracle of CGI, now he looks like bad computer game animation. I remember thinking the original Toy Story was amazing, but if you compare Toy Story 3 with its predecessor, the original Toy Story looks like it was "Made in China".
Our sun gives off a stream of charged particles that form a bubble known as the heliosphere around our solar system. The solar wind travels at supersonic speed until it crosses a shockwave called the termination shock. At this point, the solar wind dramatically slows down and heats up in the heliosheath.
Would anyone care to explain what supersonic speed means in this context?
They're making sonic booms in the solar wind, just like TIE Fighters.

How about making the searches more relevant again first? Google ain't what it used to be. Or maybe my googlefu has gotten weak in my old age, but I wind up retyping different search terms to find what I need.
I remember back before google, altavista required plusses, minuses, ands, ors, parens(?). I was used to that system, so i could find stuff easily. Then google made me lazy. Now I find myself doing the same as you to find what I need. Bing is even worse than google. Time to bring back "programmatical" search terms.
This looks to me like they're going to be pushing content I DON'T want.
Unless their algorithm is good enough to replace me as a thinking being, its suggestions will annoy me a lot. God answers unasked prayers, but google shouldn't.
Actually, diabetes really refers to excess urine. What we normally call diabetes is diabetes mellitus, which means "sweet urine" (mellitus being sweet, similar to Apis mellifera, the honeybee).
So Sweet Pee from Popeye might have Juvenile Diabetes? Oh, and ewww. Who went around comparing urine, and did they do a double blind taste test?
No, you are not harming someone else. An embryo is not a person. Personhood requires a functioning forebrain, which does not arise until well after birth.
You have just exonerated everyone who has murdered a newborn, or even apparently a weeks-old baby. I think I'll go eat one right now. I mean, if they're not people, they're not Soylent Green right?
Personhood is about brains.
No, personhood isn't even about brains. It's about an arbitrary graduation from womb to air. So says SCOTUS, So Say We All!

(hurt look). Hey! I liked Sliders.
I did too. Until the writers killed the show. At least one original cast member survived.

SGA didn't have a peaceful translator and anthropologist archetype until Daniel Jackson joined for a couple episodes.

Honest mistake? "No outside research" seems pretty straightforward to me.
Because you have a broad definition of research. The Juror had a narrow one. Let's see what Wikipedia has to say.
"Strike freedom down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!"
This is why a lot of stores provide free wi-fi. Strangely, competitors sites are slow to load. Hmm.
You can 't judge someone by how well they treat people they like.
But you can by how poorly they treat someone they purport to like (love). Pedos are mentally ill at best, aberrant monsters on average.

The government has SMG's?
It's a typo. The government has MSG. They cornered the market on tasty.
the French have forgotten their history, and are thus repeating it.
The French invented the guillotine once, they can do it again.
Suggestion: use lasers this time.
Remind me. What were all those "The south will rise again" bumper stickers I saw when I visited the USA?
Dukes of Hazard promotional stickers from the movie.
That may be a good thing. Making contact with China only to get a lecture on the difference between 'there,' and 'their' would be embarrassing ;)
Haha. These slashdotters are relentless with the grammar. I gotsed nailed yesterday for a small handful of mistakes which I will never make again.
I've heard of grammar nazis, but goatse-ing someone for poor grammar is rude.

Agree here. Also try using that slider bar thing with a touchscreen. No hidden posts for you.

You're all clear, kid, now let's *blow* this thing and go home!
Oh, well in that case: 3.
What is the number of people about whom Cliff Clavin asked whether or not they had been in his kitchen in Final Jeopardy!?

Get a memorable IP address, make a jingle, and leave domain names behind.
"That's One Twenty-seven dot OhDotOhDot one.."
Or repeat it like the head-on commercials. 127.0.0.1! 127.0.0.1! 127.0.0.1! We said 127.0.0.1!
