Just download the DevKit and build from source. Works for me.

Can you please just stop calling it the English System? The English don't use it and here, and most places I know, it's called the Imperial System.

Hell, if you called it "British Imperial", you'd probably dump it into Boston Harbour within 5 years...

SQL is the most successful language in Computer Science history and the only one that has a proper mathematical basis.

Other languages have the odd mathy type thing like lambda calculus but SQL is set theory.

It's not perfect (ANSI JOIN sux, crosstabs would be great) but it's way more powerful and expressive than anything else.

If you don't get it, do some research and find out about more than SELECT, CREATE, and INSERT.

Yes, I am Maxwell smart.

Another point might be that the US itself is "too big to fail".

Basically if the US were to slide toward serious inflation the rest of the world would buy currency to prevent a bankrupt US and the follow on depression. Until the depression becomes cheaper than propping up the US that is.

Is Sarah Palin mentioned in the convention?

You, sir, should be a journalist.

For Fox or the Onion.

Never. EVER, tell your boss this.

Some of us oldies still use Hunt And Peck, you insensitive clod!

It probably will shutdown I Can Has Cheeseburger, so anyone who likes kittens should be protesting.

A simple demonstration of their incorrect averaging should suffice to get the evidence dismissed.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 averages to 4.5
using the scheme descibed by Schneier results in 7.0078125. Egregious is the only word that can describe that error.

2 minutes in Excel shows the correct value plus the cumulative error developing in the incorrect scheme:
1.5, 2.25, 3.125, 4.0625, 5.03125, 6.015625, 7.0078125.

That demonstration will show that little or no thought went into algorithm design and testing and that the machines are effectively random number generators and useless for evidence gathering.

Trying it with 7 ones and a 9 (average is 2) produces between 5 and 1.0625 depending on the position of the 9. So two drinks becomes 5, 4, 3, or 1 because 1/2 the alcohol arrived in a spike.

You might be behind the times:

The mighty mouse has 4 buttons and 2(-ish) scrollwheels.

There are 2 problems with IPv6 that are common problems with non-solutions:
1: It is highly disruptive
2: It doesn't solve the problem

The FUNDAMENTAL problem with IPv4 is that it has a LIMITED amount of addresses.

To fix the problem the solution needs to remove the limit, NOT make the limit further away.

IPv6 still has a limit to it, so when you explain to people why they should move to IPv6, you also explain why they should distrust IPv6 as a solution.

When you then explain that it will require a complete re-structuring of the internet infrastructure, they will realise that it can't work. Even if it could, they can safely wait for everyone else to do it first.

So, does anyone have a suggestion for an enhancement to IPv4 that is backwardly compatible and allows for an ever-increasing address space?

I suspect they'll claim it was good journalism for the public good and the police will go do something useful.
