Is the seismic cloak made of sheep's bladders?

This one, right here.

DVD by mail leverages the bandwidth of a van full of media, and doesn't cut into your MiFi data cap.

If you actually buy the DVD, my understanding is that comes with a reasonably perpetual license to display the content, unlike streaming services that may go out of business.

For the paranoid out there, it's also slightly harder for the CIA/NSA/FBI/MIB to track when you're watching which film, provided you're watching it on a setup that isn't network connected. (Van Eck attacks are more expensive than waiting for phone-home reports.)

Dang, maked me learn something. Thanks.

That depends on the intended use of the tractor, and the color.

If you said "construction tractor" (like a front-loader/backhoe, or a bulldozer), and "yellow", I think you're probably right. (Most of them seem to be a similar shade of "construction yellow".)

Certain shades of green (and orange, and yellow, and red, and blue) are almost certainly protected within the fields of agricultural tractors and landscaping equipment.

Julian it is, then. Either November 9 or November 10, depending on leap years.

Suck it, Tau day proponents.

Using your post as an example, 1/646... or approximately one and one half tenths of a percent bandwidth savings.

I can feel the latencies dropping already.

If you need more than about 32 digits for your calculations, you grossly misunderstand something.

Second, that's not a factorial.

This is possibly the most interesting idea so far.

It should really be July 21st, but very very late in the day.

I was under the impression that 900 years ago was "history", rather than "news".

Currency doesn't need to be a long term value store; currency needs to be a vehicle for short term value exchange.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

If doing something once is OK (acceptable, moral, etc), how is it wrong to do it a million times?

If two wrongs don't make a right, two rights don't make a wrong. (Scale as needed.)

It's really not stalking - stalking is generally targeted at a specific person. This isn't targeted at anyone in particular; it's an attempt to gather general data to learn things. I think we usually call that "science".

This is a reasonable viewpoint.

As we're thinking this through, however, we need to be extremely careful about what parts are actually undesirable. We probably don't want to create a society where it's technically illegal to sit in a park and write poems inspired by people passing by, or to take photos that happen to include a license plate or a person, or to get them published in a magazine.

We need to figure out what the "bad" part is, and restrict only that.
