...and even better, the keyboard navigation seems to be all jacked up. It's like April come early!

No ponies, but sidebar-hides-content seems a fairly close substitute.

Nobody accepted it because it was stupid, and probably just a publicity stunt for the people running it.

They only find out your IP address after it's too late.

1. Your computer asks a DNS resolver where the server is.
2. The DNS resolver asks Apple's (well, Akami's) DNS server where the server is.
3. The DNS server guesses the closest server, but all it has available to work with is the address of the resolver.
4. Your computer uses that answer to contact the server and download whatever. If it was given the wrong server, it's too late now.

Steam turbines are basically the way to turn an external heat source into mechanical energy. Typically this is just used to generate electricity since it's so much more convenient to work with, but for a few applications the turbine will be attached directly to something other than a generator (say, a propeller on a big boat). Steam can also be used even more directly; as a heat source / heat transfer mechanism (say, for heating groups buildings particularly in colder climates), for cleaning carpets, for sterilizing things, in industrial chemical processes, apparently as a replacement for liquid water in some kinds of modern clothes-washing machines, ... .

Or they could pressure the parent domain into signing their own bogus delegation records, the same way they currently can pressure them into serving bogus delegation records (such as customs seizing all those trademark-and-copyright-infringing domains a few days ago). This relies entirely on each parent domain being trustworthy about what they sign, which is a bit difficult if you don't trust the government that they're subject to.

The taillights will be lit whenever the headlights are lit. These can look exactly the same as older brake lights, except for being slightly dimmer. The additional brake light makes it easier to see the difference.

Since I'm not in the middle of the ocean, I don't have to breathe whatever crap they're spewing out. So I don't really have a reason to care. Of course it might still make sense for the big port cities to put emissions limits on what ships they'll accept, and send the really nasty ones elsewhere...

What I know, is mine. This, is saying that my knowledge is not mine and can be taken from me. Really, it looks like the next step from those absurd libel laws where truth isn't a defense. What's the next step after this one, require that anyone can have anyone else dragged off to get portions of their memory medically erased?

...ow! Stop doing that to my eyeballs!

...don't forget to pay your $699 licensing fee, you cocksmoking teabaggers!

Seriously, it sounds like they've got it all, even down to the "sue your (ex-) customers" part. I suppose that means that someone should check that the monopoly privileges in question really do belong to them.

I'd expect it to be related to knowing that the graph follows ordinary plane geometry and has straight paths between the nodes.

As someone else linked upthread, Fuck that shit.

No, I'm going to laugh at them. I thought that was the whole point of it being posted here, actually.

Well yeah, but the (lack of) meaning of life is a bit oversized of a topic for here.

No, I think it's actually closer to fascist. Communists don't have "non-state capitalist, for profit corporations", remember?
