So, in your world, Senators represent acres, not people, eh? Because Humboldt County has 16K people, while Middlesex County, MA has 1.6M people.

It is far more likely that this is the aerospace analog to "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM."

Well, this makes it a lot easier for me to answer this question from OpenSource.com.

We're far enough away from any likely candidate systems that we would only pick up very high power omni-directional signals - in other words, intentional beacons. Such a beacon is unlikely to be highly encoded (though there might be an associated signal that *is* highly encoded, and to which there is a pointer in the beacon signal). In other words, we don't have to worry too much about the Kolmogorov complexity of extra-terrestrial signals, because we won't be "overhearing" anything.

(1.3*R)C(2.0*R), where C = O(25*h)

You are assuming that people can't keep up with change. Sounds like you've never worked with top notch people. A truly talented IT guy can keep up with innovations well into his 70s - if he pushes himself (or herself).

I would say the issues go back to Adobe's refusal to license postscript as a display language for the OS X display rendering engine and their original refusal to write a version of Premiere for OS X (which lead to the birth of Final Cut).

Unlike 90% of Boston (the relatively new Back Bay is the exception, as that was built on 19th century fill), Chicago is on a grid.

Insomniacs can sleep. We just take much longer to get to sleep and wake at the drop of a hat, and so never get the amount of sleep we need. Oh, and I live in EST

There's a book that's 2200 years old. I don't mean the story (or in this case, poem) is 2200 years old, I mean the *piece of paper* (or in this case, papyrus) on which someone copied the (2400 year-old) poem is 2200 years old. In the right conditions, archival quality paper will last a *lot* longer than any electronic medium.

I think he's writing a rootkit for a grad school project. Notice the emphasis in "open source."

A cursory search finds that Hyundai donated $1M to the project, so you might not want to make that assumption. The CoE would I imagine have to be involved in any project on the Mall

Guys, it's really not that hard:
GregYear <- (appropriate year for start of Gregorian era in locale)

IF (month = 2 AND year MOD 4 = 0 AND (year < GregYear OR year MOD 100 > 0 OR year MOD 400 = 0))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 29}
ELSE IF (month = 2)
{MaxDayForMonth <- 28}
ELSE IF (month IN (4,6,9,11))
{MaxDayForMonth <- 30}
ELSE
{MaxDayForMonth <- 31}

I certainly hope you don't characterize "real estate" as "real property." The owner of real estate owns something just as abstract as the owner of Intellectual Property does - the right to use and occupy land. Ultimately, all property is abstract: if you hand me a five dollar bill to look at, does it become my property because it is in my possession, or does it remain your property?
