If you actually want a table of data, then use the table tag. It's not deprecated, just assigned to be used for tables. If you are doing layout use divs or spans with floats and clears.

That's fine but you would still need a way to represent first order logic without resorting to symbols. The lowest common denominator would have to be dots or marks representing numbers where the number of dots or marks is equivalent to the number of things represented. E.G. "oo ooo ooooo ooooooo ooooooooooo" etc ... (The editor wouldn't allow me to use so many full stops).

5. Sell personal keys to the faithful.
6. Profit!

Unfortunately, an alphabet is purely our method of representing the audible sounds that come out of our mouth. Even using numbers is arbitary. The only common thing would be to represent numbers as a series of dots (e.g. 1 dot for 1, 2 dots for 2 etc...) and then display the first, say, 100 prime numbers. That would certainly get any technologically advanced race interested. We would need to then go on to try and use these numbers to convey a message like here's how to get in touch.

It's not about them understanding English or whatever language we package up. It's about any alien looking at the data and realising that there is actually information here, rather than just random streams of data (not necessarily about understanding the content). Once they realise there is information then they can get to work on trying to decipher it. The protocol is a kind of flag waving saying something like "interesting stuff over here guys".

... it doesn't do (.)(.) or ()*()

Especially when his son is set to inherit the power.

If a son "inherits" a father's presidency of a country, at what point does that become a monarchy?

My main gripe with 3D is that, unlike any other special effect, the user needs to do something in order to experience it. With other special effects, the best ones at least, the viewer isn't even aware it is a special effect. If you had to put on special glasses to see a building blow up, say, then that special effect wouldn't be a success with the public either.

Does he have shares in a games company? Having warning labels will only increase sales.

+5 funny!

I was talking about Heavyweight Champ.

From the article on wikipedia:

" ... Critics have since identified it as the first game to feature hand to hand fighting ... "

It mentions nothing about side view.

How would a "man in the middle" exploit be done with a barcode?
