A comet just happened to form with 98.5% of its CN on one side, which is also the same side which happened to break off and get destroyed? I agree with you that it isn't necessarily alien but that's a bit of a stretch.
Er, what country is where in relation to you has always been a part of geography. India's on the far side of the world, the friendly Canucks live to my north, and Mexico is down to the south. As I've already said, the prioritization isn't based on politics at all, it's preferring in-country peers because they're less liable to be slow in certain parts of the world. It would make it political if it preferred them out a sense of patriotism. But it's just reflecting the realities of telecommunications in certain parts of the world where physical proximity becomes much more important.
Actually, reading the summary, the submitter is concerned with people in countries which have small international pipes- if they can prioritize peers who aren't constrained by the international bottleneck then those people might see a speed bump with bittorrent.
And just to clarify, I'm not saying it's for-sure not recovering- just that there's no way to know, and if you look at the steady upward climb immediately following the 1929 crash... don't count your chickens before the eggs are hatched.
I hate to rain on your parade but every bear market of the last century has little upward tics every now and then, even while the overall trend is a race to the bottom.
They do the same job in a zero-g, airless environment exposed to all the fun radiation floating around in space. I imagine the requirements might be slightly different.
I don't recall anyone ever getting flack for not publishing internal improvements to OSS. Hell, why would it be anybody's business what changes you make for your own use? Would you have to advertise on your homepage?
Wouldn't it be better just to require them to have a clue about computers instead of creating an extra-special court for one class of crime?
And, having spent some quality time in a district courthouse (hey, it was a series of field outings in a class on the Justice system!) I can tell you that the geriatric judge stereotype is just that- a stereotype. I never saw one under 30 but I didn't see any older than their early 50's.
The epic of Gilgamesh matches the Noachian flood story more closely and is a less unlikely candidate than postulating that ancient Isrealites somehow made contact with India.
In the original Hebrew, the term translated into days can also mean a kind of generic unit for time. Could've been days, could've been some other unit of time entirely, though the traditional interpretation is just to mean "days."
how you include Microsoft Office in the Windows steps just to pad the list, as if most Windows PCs and their factory reinstall discs don't already include some form of Office.
I don't think this is a fair comparison. An office suite comes stock with Ubuntu. If you get Ubuntu you get an office suite because that's part of Ubuntu. If you get a stock Windows disk straight from MS you need to go get an office suite on your own. If you wanted to compare OEM install disks I'd call it a fair comparison.
Well shit! You don't mean to say that if crooks run the election... crooks will be elected?!
The important factor is not the exact technology, it's how the votes are counted and by whom. That's all I was saying. Paper CAN be abused, but so can computers, and, by the looks of some of the videos I've seen floating around, computers can be easily and efficiently abused. Both can be hacked by a closed counting process which places absolute trust in one group of people to pronounce the winners of an election.
I found her a little unnerving. Those eyes are... strange. It wasn't so much that I thought the "after" girl was prettier, it was more that I found her less strange.
Some do, some don't. It depends on the revision and particular model you're using. I'm on a Santa Rosa Macbook with Broadcom, but earlier revisions used Atheros.
The current interpretation of the law basically states that we don't have rights at the border. So I don't think this would count as a violation, more of an improvement. And while I would agree that the better interpretation is to say that we _do_ have rights at the border, does the change necessarily need to suddenly switch from "no rights" to "complete constitutional protections" in one piece of legislation? I don't see that happening for a while and in the interim I'd prefer some rights over no rights.
Consider that, as it stands, they're under no requirement to give you anything back at the border, ever, and I'd say a 24-hour cutoff before they needed a warrant to seize your stuff would be better than nothing.
Some may say that it is him being a politician (which doesn't make sense considering that many politicans like to paint the world in black and white).
Makes perfect sense. Politician see, politician do. Politician sees an electorate that's sick of black-and-white and stupid villification of the opponent... Politician do.

That only matters to projects who care about GPL compatibility, and not all of them do.
Just wait till the overclockers get their hands on it. :)

Because people in America are dumb and assume that since paper is simple it's necessarily less secure than computers.

I suppose this is from the XKCD school of programming? http://xkcd.com/303/
The post, by user 'Solid08', indicates of the specific references in the composition: "In the 18th second: "ÙfÙ ÙÙØ ØØئÙØ© ØÙÙ...ÙØ" ("kollo nafsin tha'iqatol mawt", literally: 'Every soul shall have the taste of death')... almost immediately after, in the 27th second: "ÙfÙ Ù...Ù ØÙÙSÙØ ÙØÙ" ("kollo man alaiha fan", literally: 'All that is on earth will perish')." It also comments: "I asked many of my friends online and offline and they heard the exact same thing that I heard easily when I played that part of the track. Certain Arabic hardcore gaming forums are already discussing this, so we decided to take action by emailing you before this spreads to mainstream attention. We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Quran deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online patch, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it."

Halfway. According to the fine summary, submitter also wants "to rip a few movies and albums to the drive in order to keep busy on the flight."
I'd mail the computer and bring along a personal media player.

The sides have always been polarized. Where have you been?
