To some extent I agree. The end of the movie seemed to focus on the "noble lie", that there are things we are better off not knowing about. I thought that the lie about Harvey Dent was paired well with Alfred burning Rachel's letter to Batman. Batman could have taken the truth about Rachel loving Harvey but Alfred knew he would be happier thinking she died in love with him. I think Gotham would have been ok knowing about two-face but maybe they deserved an unrealistic hero to believe in even if they didn't need one.

1. The Joker used that time to make his escape 2. Obviously the Joker's henchmen.
I thought they were going to set two-face up for the sequel. But thinking over the movie the element of Harvey's personality that led to two face was there from the beginning. He was shown to be reckless in the pursuit of justice when he arrested 400 criminals at once. The seen where he almost murdered the joker's goon portrayed hom close the the edge especially before we "discover" that his coin has two heads.
Yes, but keep in mind this would be a war of 1st world scrawny nerds against 3rd world scrawny nerds. I expect the violent overthrow would look something like the Star Wars kid on a massive scale. There would be broken glasses and dropped inhalers everywhere.
Sadly this is usually the case. I've only once had TA who actually looked at our code and gave feedback like "good design" or "needs better comments", and he gave up and resorted to scripted tests halfway through the semester.
If your going to show off, make sure you aren't too dependent on the professor noticing. I took a polymer processing class where we used some really crappy finite element software. The software didn't give anyone in the class the correct answer, so I decided to write my own finite element code in C++. Long story short, the prof scrapped the assignment since no one else could get a good result. He looked at my report and said, "Well, it looks like this works". He had no idea what I did because he didn't program.
You're right the information is too valuable. We can only hope enough representatives take notice and pass good privacy legislation, but I don't think anyone here is going to hold their breath for that.
The congressmen can actually do something. The customers are stuck in a high speed internet monopoly. My parents have Charter internet and it basically works when it feels like it. But their other options are dial-up or satellite. Charter doesn't care about the customers because it doesn't have to.
I've heard that they would probably just ignore the cookie. That or redirect the cookie tagged traffic to the NSA saying "We found another tin-foil-hatter for you."
Your only hope would be to encrypt your traffic, which would raise a few flags if they are really watching you that closely.
I would prefer they just went ahead with it and caused a huge PR meltdown. Now they'll simply wait until Congress isn't paying any attention and try it again. They'll keep at it until this becomes the norm for internet service and their customers stop complaining.
Can't resist; the nerd bait is to strong. I doubt that the added weight of a few cm of dirt caused enough of a pressure difference that the CO2 would sublimate where it wouldn't before.
I finished my physics bachelors last year at a US university. We were required to take C++ and Fortran. Even that doesn't seem like enough now that I'm working on my phd. I wish we had been taught more about basic algorithms and python. Some parallel computing instruction would have also helped a lot. I'm teaching myself python now and its a useful and pretty easy language to pick up.
In general a physics major should pick up some of all the basic sciences and mathematics. That includes chemistry, EE, comp. sci. etc.

But they don't want you to find out that the moon landing was faked and that Jimmie Hoffa shot Kennedy while driving a car that runs on water.
I agree with you. If you don't want people to know something don't put it on the web. If you want people to know put it on the web and let google send the people to you. It's all bureaucracy inaction.

I'm not in CS but am in engineering which should be similar enough for my experience to relate. I did my undergraduate at a state school with a more liberal arts bend and am currently getting my phd. at tech school. I never thought I'd say it but I miss my boring liberal courses. All math and no Plato makes Jack a dull boy.
Your primary coursework will probably be similar at both schools only at the tech school there will be more of it. At the liberal arts school you will be exposed to many more ideas from a wide range of fields. Many of these ideas will be applicable not only to your chosen field but your life in general. While some will disagree, I think it is best to be the kind of person has a wide knowledge base with a concentration of knowledge in a chosen field(Gaussian Distribution) rather than an extreme concentration in only one area(Dirac delta function). You'd be surprised how broadly skills from one area can apply to others.
What it comes down to is your personality. If you're the kind of person who reads books from a fairly wide range of genres and is interesting in things other than math and CS, go for the liberal arts degree. If the idea of reading for fun and having to think about history, philosophy,.etc makes you roll your eyes, go for the tech degree because the liberal arts school will bore the pants off of you. You'll be more successful if you study what you find interesting.
Paraphrasing James Carville, " It's the games stupid." There's nothing innately wrong with the PSP other than the price maybe. Sure it's not as innovative as the DS, but killer-ap games are what sell consoles and the PSP doesn't have any killer-ap games like the PS2 had in GTA 3.
Does anyone remember the episode of Seinfeld were the low fat yogurt wasn't low fat at all and the characters kept gaining weight. I say we put the Soup Nazi in charge of the FDA. He'd clean things up.
There's this new drink called Orange Juice that claims to have even more Vitamin C. Scientists call it a break through in food science.
There was a point were food scientist stopped producing useful foods like orange juice, peanut butter, and cornflakes, and started making consumers feel better about eating crap. I think it occurred about when the US became the fattest nation on Earth.
PS. I like to think of Coke Zero as a tastier Diet Coke rather than a healthier Coke Classic. None of them are good for you, but two have fewer calories.

How did they know about the rules if they never opened the e-mail?
Also after 7 years, is anyone surprised?

We apologize for the server being down. It will be at least one hour before we fix anything because someone had Taco Bell for lunch.

1 + 1 == 3 for sufficiently large 1's. Enough computer science can make math controversial.
