can you tell me in what world do you think it is OK to scour the lawbooks and find someone guilty of a crime with a higher maximum sentence than the crime you'd like to get them on but can't because they didn't commit it.
Doesn't that seem just a little bit, I don't know, corrupt?
Depends on whether the defendant is actually guilty of the second, more serious crime.
DA: "We can't get him on copyright infringement for lack of evidence, but he did kill a guy last week. Can we settle for a murder charge?"
Frankly, the police could have prevented none of that from happening had they not been on strike. That was a temporary power vacuum. What was stopping all those crimes was the fear of getting punished, and police were seen as the sole arbiters of punishment, much to the chagrin of the burglar the doctor killed (an MD? What happened to the Hippocratic Oath?).
The privacy violations are only because this data is available publicly
I thought the privacy violations are due to government's (any govt) tendency to become corrupt. A secret tracking database in the hands of a corrupt govt official is no less dangerous than a public govt database in the hands of a corrupt govt official, except that the data is also available to random crazies and lawyers in the public example. But that doesn't make the private DB benign.
Inform on your neighbors and family! Er, I mean edit their wiki pages to provide evidence of their political affiliation - for the good of the voting process.
15 minutes worth of food is not "half the food" except for the first group of bacteria. AC wrote the question wrong, and measured only in relative amounts, not exact volumes.
At 29 minutes, there are 29 units of food left, and double the bacteria. At 28 minutes, there are 27 units of food left, and quadruple the bacteria, then 23 units and 8x, then 15 units and 16x. The real answer is 26 minutes (half the food is left, but it will go quickly).
I don't know what this has to do with water though; it's not a (reasonably) finite resource. If we can spend energy extracting metals from ores, I'm sure we can spend energy desalinating water when we finally have to.
These security questions are often used for phone support, and they have to make a judgment call as to whether you answered correctly (punctuation, saying "from" instead of "for", etc.) The answers need to be in plain text. Of course this means you can never use the same answers anywhere.
But it preserves more filesystem data than cp. And running a tar stream like this over ssh is easy. Of course I'd use rsync if I wanted to do it more than once.
You need math to make engines like Unity3D and OGRE, or any programming where someone will pay you more than midway through middle class level. Not that there's anything wrong with middle class pay; it's quite comfortable.
I did that once. When I called up phone support, they gave me the green light for getting close (with no other authentication). Now I salt and hash the security questions and send back the hash. Hopefully they don't start invoking a time limit.
I enjoyed Piers as a kid, but when I got older I realized the man was just a creepy pervert obsessed with underage sex.
I concur. His incarnations of immortality series started off great, so I suggested it to people. Then in the last few books he started glorifying pediphilia. Made me sick thinking what my friends thought of me because of my suggestion.
No, it's the DVD/CD split. Up until four years ago, CD drives were the default on servers, and DVD drives were an added expense that few people bothered with. Sure, a USB DVD drive can get you installing, but then you have to leave your rack open with a crash cart sitting there while your OS installs.
..when their superiors start hiring salesman over knowledgeable people and give up everything just to get short term money. They'd have a lot more money now if they had stuck with the knowledgeable people and payed them well.

Incidentally, why doing you programmers just prove that your algorithms will never hang before shipping code? Are you lazy or something?
Few programmers are computer scientists, just as few slashdot users being grammarians.
Nope, Guam.

"Yeah, my fear is that the whole island [Guam] will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize." I love the look on the other guy's face, trying not to laugh at a congressman in formal hearings.

This island could actually tip over unlike Guam.

And if you don't have any friends, keep one in a bank's safe deposit box.
Don't forget to poke holes in the safe deposit box so he can breathe.

Dude, that's totally potable.
Only in CA would they call pot water drinkable.
And what happens if you loose the salt?
It dumps out into a big pile on my friend's plate. Hilarious.

I have no idea what else they could possibly want to toss into the default install that would make a smaller DE enticing.
A v3 kernel?

How explicit does the government have to be? R? NC17? XXX?

"Make use of us; we in the GS are the one contingent with a triple-digit IQ in the store"
BZZZZZT.
To be fair, she did say "a" triple-digit IQ. That person is just on FMLA.
Since when? Only about 10% of youtube works with HTML5. Everything else is Flash.
