Can you marry a minor? Can you have sex with them when you're married?
Just a question I had after reading through Conservative Man's rather... typical thread...

In which countries is this possible? In which not? How about in practice?

Testing a premise.
I caught a repeat of a TV programme with Dara O'Briain the other day. The premise was that any word you choose in the dictionary could be guessed by someone who could ask you 20 questions. I'm not sure if this is true.

Surely we use something harder to decode than numbers now?
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Nov 13 UTC
If you don't have the key, a number station is pretty much impossible to crack.

Ok then I might not know what you mean abgemacht.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Nov 13 UTC
A number station broadcasts a code of numbers over radio. Very easy to pick up if you're a spy, but very hard to decipher if you don't have the key.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
12 Nov 13 UTC
Then I still think my point counts: if you don't use numbers but all kinds of characters, tones and stuff to code your message it's much harder to figure out.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
12 Nov 13 UTC
And how long do you think it takes a supercomputer or 'just' a mainframe for that matter to find a key for something with 10 different optional characters? Not too long I imagine.
abgemacht (1076 D(G))
12 Nov 13 UTC
You are assuming the numbers and the key form a bijection. This doesn't have to be the case. Consider the following:

The Key: A Tale Of Two Cities
The Code: (page, letter)

Very easy to encode/decode with the key. Pretty much impossible without the key.

But Season 3 seems okay, save the occasional heavily-inspired-on-previous-star-trek-series episode. The Xindi are well thought out IMHO.

Another site newbie
Long time postal dip veteran been out of the hobby for a while got a jones to play again (last played ftf at Origins couple of years ago). Just signed up for Classic_57. Saw on another post where someone said the moves took long (one a day). I giggled at that, as a veteran postal player. Not quite sure I understand this betting points thing, but I will play and see how it goes. Wish me luck and don't think of me as blood in the water. tfwood

Should Literature Be Useful? (YES. ABSOLUTELY. ...Right?)
http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/books/2013/11/should-literature-be-useful.html I disagree with the degree to which the author of this article praises sheer idleness and imagination in literature--in my mind, that is NOT what makes literature great, at least not on its own. The best authors, far from being simply imaginative, had arguments to make about the human condition OR very real arguments to make on social, psychological, and political policy. Thoughts?

NFL Pick 'em: Week 10--The Niners/Bears w/ Reinforcements & the Pack w/o Rodgers!
We start Week 10 tonight with the Redskins and Vikings...but I'll just assume we're all picking the REDSKINS (and now watch the Vikings play spoiler, lol.) Da Bears have Jay Cutler back and will be going up against Suh and the Lions for 1st place in the NFC North, and with Aaron Rodgers gone 4-6 weeks, this could be the Lions' big chance. The Niners get Manningham and Aldon Smith back vs. the Panthers, Bengals/Ravens, Broncos/Chargers, it's Week 10--PICK 'EM!
