Instant apocalypse. Has to be run by root, of course.

There is of course the frequent practice of teachers speaking (thus discriminating the deaf) and sometimes even pointing at things (which is highly insensitive to those without arms)

And don't get me started about some teachers _teaching_, discriminating those of us, who are stupid and lazy.

Actually, I _insist_ on monitoring myself while driving.

So what? This is insurance, not science. They are not trying to create a grand unified theory of car crash probability, they just want to predict the probability of any given driver crashing. Correlation is good enough for that.

You know, the word ``fascist'' has a specific meaning. Using it to describe anyone you don't like is stupid (and _not_ fascist).

Now if we could just get them all to Albert Hall...

That is, if you spill a glass of water (anywhere in the house), or just bring a glass (maybe even empty, but this has not been tested), the keyboard dies.

Really, just try it. And then buy a real laptop.

No, you don't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_conspiracy

One-way mirrors are just mirrors that let some of the light through ---the thing that makes them one-way is there being much more light on one side. This might not work when it's dark outside.

Yes, but it _does_ make him wrong (Or, at least, it makes me think he is wrong, asi I would not hold an opinion that I think is wrong, right?).

There is no vast conspiracy, it's just a bunch of people each being wrong on their own.

I know this is off-topic, but I would presume that the right lavatory is picked based on your sex (that is, whether you have a penis or a vagina, in the unlikely case you have both, just flip a coin), not gender. This is actually quite simple.

Unless the private key is protected by a passphrase, preferably one that is not easily bruteforced.

And if you notice your laptop was stolen (this should not be very hard), make a new key (and remove the old one from your servers).

I agree with your point, thingh not with the example you gave.

Incidentally, quicksort _is_ easily parallelizable:

qsort([]) -> []; % of course

qsort([P | A ]) ->
                A1 = [ X || X = P ],
                P = self(),
                spawn(fun() -> P ! {a1, qsort(A1)} end ),
                spawn(fun() -> P ! {a2, qsort(A2)} end ),
                A1sorted = receive
                        { a1, A1s } -> A1s
                end,
                A2sorted = receive
                        { a2, A2s } -> A2s
                end,
                A1 ++ [ P ] ++ A2.

I am sending lots of large messages, so this might be slow, but you could do this in place, just sending bounds of the intervals to be sorted.

Sorry, guess I'm being unclear. What I meant was that the guy who claimed that a mass-produced automobile is not art has probably never seen a Miata. Or a 911. Or an E-type. Or...

That's interesting, the first thing that came to my mind when reading the post was that he's obviously never seen a Miata.
