Same is true when I turn up the treble, or turn up the bass. I can hear different "parts" of a song. My headphones sound differently than my speakers, both have unique sounds that I hear the song differently. Which version is better is entirely subjective and opinionated to a certain point. Sure, hearing clipping will be a dead giveaway on poor quality, but not when (in effect) the equalizer settings are different from each system.

My brother loves songs with no bass, and higher treble. I prefer songs with middle to lots of bass and middle to no treble. He can hear a song on my speakers and hate it, but take it to his system and love it. Song enjoyment based on people's preferences is not scientific.

So perhaps you've figured out where god screwed up in making me this way?

Disagree, if the OS tricks you out of common sense, then it's a terrible OS, not clever.

If you like a challenge, code in an obsolete language that nobody likes, then try calling the designers clever and really smart. When your functions are not supported, with no real logical way to get around it (or any way to get around the issue). I have coded in one, I had to submit bug reports and change requests quite a few times, even then the language still never worked as THEY had expected, and required me to tell them how THEIR code worked.

And NO I am not a system programmer.

Infinity qubits would be needed if you one time pad your information (essentially doubling the disk space required to encrypt of course).

Sorry but wrong: the worse the bank's security is, the less paying clients they have. Sure you have more people logging in (for a short time), but they are sending funds out of the bank. Banks love holding money, because they can use it to make more. They don't want people logging in and sending money away into thieves accounts. This will drive away paying customers as well.

2 bytes ranging from 0-36 (37 possibilities, since we count 0-10 being 11 numbers and a-z being 26). 2 bytes that can be a combo of *any* 37 characters: 37 * 37. Feel free to write down all the possibilities.

1) I was never told how our English teachers graded, you simply wrote the paper and were graded on it (trial and error, over and over)
2) I always got a B on my English papers, one day I traded with a student who always got D's. He still got a D, I still got a B.
3) After a while I gave up trying and copied a paper from the internet, proof read once (replacing words larger than 10 letters with simpler ones). I still got a B, while my friend who worked 5+ hours on it got a D because his was supposedly plagiarized.

From my POV as a student, there was no method to their madness, it was all up to their interpretation as to what sounded like good grammar. I was always a B, and never told why.

This is exactly how I learned computers. No classes, no family members teaching me. Just me sitting down and learning things. It was slow, but it was fun because it was the only technology besides Nintendo that I had.

This is pretty much how I learned about 75% of my knowledge for computers. Maybe about 24% from asking questions/searching the web for answers. Then finally 1% from taking classes.

This is akin to arresting you and taking your car out for a joyride spin. Sure you can argue they waste gas for the car, but they wasted electricity for their entertainment.

Besides, this is unlawful search. I would like to think that unless they had a warrant for this specific task, they could NOT search digital devices. Seeing how it was a drug deal, they could only search physical items (like maybe take apart the wii at the very worst case, but they could NOT digitally open it, or go through all their movies/home movies and watch them all)

Oh.. IANAL, but I use morality to make my decisions.

Why hasn't this been modded up? This sounds insightful to me.

Yes, agreed. But in the wrong hands, let's say I could track your kid 24/7 and find him wandering off to a place where no one normally goes. I now know when he will be alone which means an easier target.

Taken a step farther: is there a possibility to spoof the location of the watch (send the parents to the bottom of the river just for shits and giggles?)

The ad with music sounds even worse. The direct Microsoft comparison/bashing is just terrible business practice (if not illegal slander? I don't recall any advertisement mentioning a competitor's product and bashing it, it also sounds sleazy if it wasn't illegal).

So 9 women have 9 babies in 18 months! That's almost 1 every 2 months. You're getting closer, damn I love math, how about we give fertility pills for the 9 new octo-moms. Then we could get 72 babies in 18 months or 9 months, you choose! ... but why were we trying to make 9 babies to begin with again?

Stupid pedestrians? Stupid drivers? How about neither???

*Ahem*: Parking lots. Some people step out of parking lots (if the lot is curved incorrectly, it's near impossible to see who's coming and going).

Don't bother starting with that "go 5mph", because it would take you going about 2mph to even make a difference.

Yea! Get on my lawn!
