You would be fine with your neighbor consistently using your wireless network without asking? I would be annoyed. If they asked, I would be okay with it, mostly. If they offered to give a little towards the bill, I'd be great. I can see how someone could argue that I don't use my connection all the time, so what is the harm in allowing others on? I really don't have a good answer. Just that it feels less like I'm giving them something and more like they are taking advantage of me.
BTW, it isn't about the cost to the owner, it is about intent. If you are using the service, why would you not help defray the costs? The service does cost the owner money. Is there a good reason that you would not offer a little compensation? It is like not tipping the waiter. You are not compelled to tip, it is just the right thing to do.
Please, cutting new trend? More like "Leeches find new ways not to pay for things." I see those types of people around the local coffee shop. Most of the time they don't even buy anything. I know a lot of people are going to blame the coffee shop for not securing the network for paying customers only, but human decency is supposed to fill that gap.
meh, i doubt that. Beside other geeks, how many people do you know who actually read books? (Harry Potter and Twilight doesn't count.) I think that, rather than enobling these families, these copyright measures will ensure that these books will be forgotten.
A good way to come up with a difficult, but easy to remember password is to use a phrase. You could take the first or last two letters from each word and then add some numbers that you'll remember. You get a moderately strong password and you don't have to write it down. For example, "Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker" becomes YiKiYamofu12358
On track to what? It is posts like this that drive me crazy. There is no grand destination. Nature is pretty and needed for our survival, but there is no impetus to remain bound to the laws that govern nature.
How exactly does one "cheat nature?" What game am I playing? If I cheat and win, do I win a prize? I hope it is a huge stuffed bear. I love those things!
After a news story about a man suing a British ISP. He got nasty with a help desk tech. The tech changed the guys password to (guy's name)ispants. I'd reference the story, but I can't find it.
Why wouldn't they figure it out? Also, why are you equating well-like with teaching ability? Isn't it the tough teachers, the ones that pushed you, the ones you learned the most from?
The way I look at it is, the language is ENGLISH, you know, the language of England, therefore not speaking/writing it the English way equals speaking/writing it the *wrong* way.
Then you deny the thing that makes English great. Language, in some part, defines not only what we can communicate, but what we conceive. If our language is stagnant and unchanging, so shall our ideas be stagnant.
I find your description of the stoplights hard to believe. I'm fairly sure that it is illegal in the States, because of color blindness. Where is this?
We don't ask the children, because the children are bastards (not literally). Do you want your job to hinge on the kid that may have reasons to dislike you other than your teaching ability?
I thought it was. The movie was a tribute to the game and was visually impressive. I found the 1st person POV to be inventive, if not very watchable. It is good to see a director experiment. I would love a sequel, although I doubt it'll happen.
Some forms of color blindness only affects one color, like red/green color blindness. you can't tell the difference between red and green. You can refer to this as partial color blindness, because you can still see some colors. You can also have total color blindness, where the world appears monochromatic. I notice that you are using a "u" in color. Perhaps it is an American English vs British English issue?
This article is just a summary of several stories from the last 3-4 years. It didn't even mention the really interesting applications for the tongue port device. They are developing a version to be used by the Navy to give divers a version of sonar. Link
Your example is incorrect. A correct example would be that the equation is 1.0005351651351 + 1.006546513541346 = 2.007081678676446, but 1 + 1 = 2 is close enough.

You say it like it is a bad thing.
I always assumed that the Aliens were sentient.

My dreams of budding are realized at last!

Why can't they compromise? The baseball team can come in the morning before it gets hot. The sunbathers can return any found balls.

You hope. It has been about forty years since anyone has tried to go there. I really doubt that NASA will go back.
A keyboard on an exercise bike? Amateurs.
Serial killer? Since when?

Does Enchanted count?
Where does one get passion? Is it ambition that drives us to perform well? Why do we struggle for more than food to eat and a roof over our heads?

Linky Be careful, some of the site is definitely NSFW.

who would organize such a thing? The government would, of course! That would open a new can of censorship worms.
