Yes, you can create money, just like the real world. I've seen a documentary where a good DJ bought/built a block of apartments and sold them to people. Over time, more people wanted to live in those apartments (because of the DJ? I dunno). Guess what? That is how the economic system works here as well. People want. As long as people want, there is money to be made. It is the foundation of a consumerist society. Those apartments will increase in value overtime. As long as the capital gains is higher than the bank loan interest rate, people will invest. Actually, the CG does not always have to be higher.
Your summary is actually very good. I'd have a problem with a computer expert going through the contents of my source files and data but I have no problems with a customs dude doing it. He/she is looking for specific items and doesn't care about the confidential stuff. It is exactly the same as inspecting wooden goods, only looking for the bugs, doesn't care what the wooden object is.
As I was reading/flipping through the project, I was thinking that this is the sort of stuff that gets done in the sheds of New Zealanders. I looked at the address and behold.
The list of "notable changes" listed exFat and the wiki (sorry) states "free space allocation performance improved due to introduction of a free space bitmap".
I trying to figure out this "free space bitmap" and how it works. Can anybody enlighten me? Still googling.
Is a script I use to get default passwords. I used to regularly reset to default because I was constantly playing with the settings of multiple devices.
I noticed that when I attach certain devices around the house so that makes it easy to flip the switch at night I saved about $AU20 per month. My projector consumed 30W when turned off but not off at the switch. I had fun with an electricity meter.
Almost never are more than 3 lights (CFLs) turned on in the house at any one time (2 people).
I'm in a very similar frame of mind as you. I think the generation after X was miss timed as the demographers (?) wanted a new classification. But they were too eager and there was a definite difference around that age (with the benefit of hindsight)... the digital native. What age are the oldest people that were 'playing' with home computers before they started any formal schooling. I can say yes and was born in 1977. I think my brother, born 1975 would say no.
For most books, no I don't buy. Unless there is a book I know or suspect I'll like and it is a first edition hard-back. Then I buy and put on a shelf to pass the time. I never loan them out, not now. I've lost a beautiful leather bound copy of LOTR and the original packaged Star Wars Trilogy on VHS in the past. Return of the Jedi especially pisses me off these days given that now I have to look at Haden Christenson (?) now.
This law is the culmination of what another Slashdot story stating today. When we had an election recently, the then government was doing anything to prostitute themselves to buy votes, especially the 'won't somebody please think of the children' votes. I see Hilary Clinton is doing the same with video games. Unfortunately, the then government were able to pass any law they liked without scrutiny because they had the majority in the upper and lower house. This law smells stupidly like former Communications Minister Helen Coonan, the very same that brought us the $85 million web content filter that only worked for IE (and was hacked by a teenager that it was meant to 'protect') and that Internet bandwidth is measured in Hertz.
It won't be long before the current government turfs this law because it is just not practical. Not in this way. The.kids mentioned above seems plausible.
I wish my ISP would stop all the.doc,.xls and.ppt files that come through. My world would be a smiler, happier place filled with rainbows and dew drops on kitten whiskers.
Sorry to be a bit of a bitch, but there are some core function calls in Matlab that are core aware. Just don't ask me which ones, as I rarely remember crap like that. Have just noticed from time to time.
*disclaimer - I'm taking potshots at Mozart's 'gift' while not being in possession of any such gift myself so I understand that I may be way off the case:)
What if Mozart's gift was not actually music? Perhaps his neurons can form patterns exceptionally quickly... > 3 standard deviations ahead of the normal neural pattern realignment rates. In this case, Mozart, being a kid and doing what kids do, stumbled onto music early. That his parents pushed him and encouraged him is somewhat irrelevant, there are millions of parents around the world that force their kids into music but there are not millions of Mozarts. It was the first thing that he 'copied' or mimicked. If however, one of his very first experiences was cooking, he would have gone on to be one of the most well known chefs ever.
I don't think this is a case of the study being wrong, they are looking for the general case. And being a general case there are always (or most of the time) exceptions.
Now I've forgotten the point I was going to make. This is why real-life needs a Makefile.

Knowledge is key.
It's been going on for a while, even in Australia, which if that is the case, it is very deeply entrenched in other research labs around the world (http://www.smartstate.qld.gov.au/resources/publications/catalyst/2006/issue_17/story1.shtm).
If I needed to hide something, I'd use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

Another such project

Hook up google maps api with polar navigated flight path, some edge/point detection algorithms and start mapping. That'd be an interesting video.
I sign my /. posts with q! ["That comment missed the point and is generally unhelpful, forget it" self moderation]
Hmmm ... so they've reduced the search time from O(n) to O(m) where m = n/p, where p is an inefficiency of disk space saturation?
I don't think this is "Flamebait". Maybe "Interesting" sprinkled with essence of "Funny"

Good explanation.

I'd prefer one of those time lapse videos with Benny Hill themed music.
