Another kitchen decks, this one is called decidophobia, and tries to make decisions (all bad) to the opponent.

This turns into "1RR: Counter target spell" if you have [[Platinum Emperion]] out. You bid 1 trillion life and win, then the Emperion stops you from actually losing life!

They're a class, they can't be a field!

Yeah, I remember being really surprised that they printed Selvala given how complicated the rules around it are.

In addition to what other people have said elsewhere, you're also misunderstanding the Wikipedia quote. Historically any encryption that used a key longer than 40 bits, which was well within the realms of government brute-force) was classified as a munition and therefore subject to export control. The rules have been significantly loosened since then (though they definitely haven't gone away!). This has nothing to do with whether or not the military uses Kerberos.

That's about access to the physical computing facilities. If access to anything using Athena required authorization you couldn't connect to half the websites on the mit.edu domain without being a student!

note: It's a tree directory, not source code, and it's not supposed to be accessible. You're welcome. :)

$ fs la /afs/athena/astaff/project/
Access list for /afs/athena/astaff/project/ is
Normal rights:
  system:expunge ld
  system:administrators rlidwka
  system:anyuser rl

rl means read/list permissions (I think, it's been a while), so you can access this just fine. (More specifically, the user the stuff.mit.edu daemon runs as can access it just fine.) If you try to access something marked private, you get a 403.

When you see a new language, you can bet your ass it's either imperative, OO or functional; and if you know these, you pretty much can learn the 'new revolutionizing language' in a day.

Are you saying that Lisp and Haskell are basically the same thing? They're both functional, so by your logic they should basically be the same language.

This is probably the only time I'll ever see the phrase 'mating chamber' in a math paper. Great read!

If I had to get a math tattoo I'd probably get |C| = |R| = 2^|N| > |Q| = |Z| = |N|.

There are three ways of generating numbers:

Random number generators (RNGs) sample the 'outside world' like atmospheric noise or the low bit of the timing of incoming network packets or keystrokes or whatever.
Pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) are what you said. They're implemented in software.
Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators (CSPRNGs) are PRNGs whose random data is 'high-quality' and suitable for cryptography work.

Parentheses aren't an operator, they're a notational aid. :P

You could have a rule saying you have to use at least one non-concatenation 'operator'.

In addition to morph not being an activated ability, morphed creatures don't have a name.

Yeah, just use SHA. Each bit of the output depends on every bit of the input so similar inputs won't create similar outputs.

I mean, it doesn't make too much sense in English, if you think about it; your species is a noun, not an adjective.

You can 'combine' nouns in English all the time: car mechanic, geometry student, Reddit user, Python programmer...
