My point wasn't so much that the article supports the relationship, just that there are studies that do. Maybe I should have linked to the studies instead.

"On the other hand, Dye and Reck's meta-analysis (1988) revealed that limited variations of undergraduate GPA (e.g., GPA for the last two years, or for courses in the major field) can be more valid predictors of performance than overall GPA. In addition, Colarelli, Dean, and Konstans (1987); Wise (1975); Harrell and Harrell (1974); and Weisbrod and Karpoff (1968) all found positive relationships between grades and performance. "

An interesting side effect is that you could play faster in color blind mode, because we used 2D sprites for those pieces instead of 3D models. Without the animations you could move faster.

We were also working on this other "game" (a PDA for the NDS) which included a bunch of mini-games, one of which heavily relied on identifying colors. Unfortunately I was not able to convince them to make a color blind version. The game was targeted at girls who are far less likely to be color blind than boys, and the game was only a very small portion of the product overall.

If you don't know what reflowing text means, run tmux, get some output on the terminal (say from `ls` or something), and then split the window. You'll notice that your output gets cut off. reflow is a terminal wrapper that reformats the text when the terminal is resized.

At the moment it's still really early in its development, but it's working on all the systems I've tested it on. I'm considering adding better scroll-back support, more customization and possibly using the Knuth reflowing algorithm.

I remember reading about a guy who was basically given an indefinite jail sentence in a civil case because the judge didn't believe that he really lost all his money is poor investments.

However I remember that the article highlighted the distinction between criminal and civil cases.

I have a feeling that the transformation argument may fall pray to the "color of bits" problem but perhaps not. I think it may even come down the choice of algorithm - if I use a publicly available encryption algorithm then it might be considered a medium, whereas if I invent my own language maybe it won't.

As for the forgotten key, that's another argument. There is probably a burden of proof somewhere in there (and probably more on the side of the prosecution). If, for example, the police knew you accessed the contents of the hard drive last week, it would be pretty difficult to claim you forgot your key.

The difference is in the consequences of refusal. For a home search, it's usually in your best interest to open the door because it's really easy for the police to break it down. For an encrypted hard drive, it's nearly impossible to retrieve the data if you refuse to decrypt it.

In the case of the safe, if I refuse they'll just break it open. Strong encryption is not so easily broken so it may not be in my best interest to cooperate (whereas with the safe, it probably is).

Personally I think encryption passwords should be protected by the 5th amendment, but I understand the logic in saying it's not.

I was going to a dental school for treatment which meant that I was being treated by students under the supervision of dentists. They don't have a financial incentive to find cavities and everything is checked by two dentists.

It's possible that they have an academic incentive to find cavities (more practice for example) but at least two dentists have to agree with their assessment before they continue.

Unfortunately they don't accept insurance and my insurance company is kind of a pain when it comes to out-of-network dentists.

I have the VIP accessory which lifts each half 15 degrees, but that's still pretty far from 90.

Either they are eating out all the time or they are using someone else's kitchen, both of which seem somewhat antithetical to sub-100 minimalism.

As an analogy, if you had a safe that contained incriminating evidence and you hid the key, you could be compelled by the court to reveal the location of the key.

* As far as I know (IANAL) whether or not giving up a computer password is considered self-incrimination or not is still undecided.

The Linux kernel doesn't require copyright transfers. Most open source projects don't either (though many require a contributor license agreement).

It's not that it's impossible or insurmountable, just that it requires effort that a start up may not be willing or able to put in at release.

Exporting isn't as easy as selling in your native country. People are able to do it because someone went through the effort of studying the laws of the country being exported to and determined that it would be profitable to export to that country.

However I felt it was kind of silly to be using such a heavy/complex program such as screen for one feature so I switched to dtach.

And actually as long as you set file permissions correctly (dtach uses a file as a socket) you can share terminals with others using dtach.

dtach - this is a life saver whenever I get disconnected from the interwebs. It detaches a process from the controlling terminal.

dvtm - a tiling terminal manager. I used to use gnu screen but I prefer the layouts that dvtm offers. This plus dtach replaces 99% of what I used screen for.

Vim - my text editor of choice.

pyclewn - integrates gdb with vim nicely.
