The fact that people win big lotteries twice in a lifetime (sans any fraud) still blows my mind. If that can happen, just about anything can.

There are variations on that quote (from several sources) and my posting is not verbatim from anybody.

It's a general statement.

Who would decide which Universities and Colleges get more money? Would Yale get more money per student due to perceived "quality" over some small community college?

It would turn into a special interest nightmare with a TON of lobbyists being hired by schools all over the country to get more money for them.

FTP is only plaintext if it's FTP without encryption.

Technically you can still use FTP with SSL which is called FTPS. (although I like to use SFTP which also technically is a totally different monster)

Lasers (speed of light) are faster than Hypersonic missiles.

Eventually a Laser defense will be viable.

You can't rationally argue somebody out of a position they didn't rationally get into.

Even if this were to occur and you are on a bad exit node, wouldn't you still get a warning from the browser about the certificate being bad?

Of all those security vendors who use OpenBSD in their proprietary security appliance boxes why can't any of them give some money back?

And you can transcode on the fly a 1080p video + stream it using a Pentium 4?

And it's to pay somebody else to build your media server for you.

You say you can not buy one.

Hogwash. I'm sure if you had the money you could find a computer savy nerd to build you an XBMC server solution for your home.

That being said, Roku + Plex pretty much does everything.

Yea, Leon Trotsky was such a swell guy. Very humble man.....[sarcasm]

The dollar bill is also considered modern art, yet people use it.....

I'm a little confused here. Why would they need their own set of MAC addresses? Every NIC comes with one from the vendor. If Coke buys a NIC from somebody then the NIC has an Ethernet address.

Why people seem to forget that twitter is PUBLIC is crazy.

"There's no victory-condition for being human"

Bruce should license that to thinkgeek for a T-shirt. He could make MILLIONS!

Or...err....some money at least.
