You seem to be describing a class of problems known as "embarrassingly parallel", as in "I'm embarrassed when I can't solve this problem in parallel." There are other parallel problems that are more difficult and that require actual brainpower to solve. Perhaps you just haven't run up against one.
And in the U.S., there's a 100% chance that your government is currently a fascist monster that slaughters hundreds of thousands of innocent people. And the work life balance sucks.
I recently had this problem and solved it with finddupe (http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/finddupe/). It's a free command line tool. It can create hardlinks, you can tell it which is a master directory to keep and which directories to delete, and it can create a batch file to do actually do the deletion if you don't trust it or just want to see what it will do. Highly recommend. In any case, 5 TB is going to take forever but with finddupe you can be sure your time is not wasted, unlike one of the free tools that analyzed my drive for 12 hours and then told me it would only fix ten duplicates.
I tried this vs. Clone Spy, Fast Duplicate File Finder, Easy Duplicate File Finder, and the GPL Duplicate Files Finder (crashy). (Side note: Get some creativity guys). There's no UI but I don't care. It doesn't keep any state between runs so run it a few times on subdirectories to make sure you know what it's doing first then let it rip.
It's more steampunk fantasy but it is both easily approachable for children and fun for adults. Hard scifi is harder to get into; at least for myself I was a lot more interested in fantasy at that age and moved on to scifi later. A Wrinkle in Time has been mentioned, and it's a fun read.
They won't require it. They'll just threaten to withhold interstate funding from any state that refuses to comply.
You know...at what point are the people and the states going to get pissed off and put a STOP to us giving so much $$ to the Feds only to allow them to used it to blackmail us?
Much of this data will come from studying simplified biologies in synthetic cells. We don't have to understand it fully, just enough to get by. These efforts will help test our understanding and drive research into the systems operation of natural biological systems.
That's true, but they could also be either shutting down the stars in order to conserve fuel or have profligately burned used up all of the fuel in the void, leaving no stars to radiate.
This void is around 450M light years wide. An advanced civilization expanding for a billion or so of years would produce this kind of void by capturing and using all radiated energy for its own use.

Collective punishment like this is a war crime and disallowed by the Geneva convention. It's no good for prisoners of war and it's no good for your kids.
Huh, it looks like CCP is interested in having one of the people who plays the game 15 hours a day working as a GM. Crazy idea, having people who enjoy playing your game working for your company.
I'm sure almost everyone at CCP plays the game. They have put the same or more hours into their characters than any of the other players. Sure, there are CCP alts in all of the big alliances. If you've been playing Eve for years and years there's really nothing else challenging or interesting besides alliance politics and operations. These guys are just as attached to their characters as you would be after years of play. They have reputations that they don't want to risk by unfairly intervening in the game world.
I understand that the devs are only allowed to play on the live server using a release client and that the GM tools will only work if the connection is coming from inside CCP. CCP has fired GMs in the past for cheating as well, so don't think that it goes unnoticed or silently tolerated.
The board of directors has a fiduciary duty to look after the interests of the corporation. These interests are typically financial but if the corporate charter has goals other than profit, such as "do no evil", the directors can be liable for failing to uphold them.
The reason the N-Gage was a flop was because it was woefully underpowered. Nokia was pushing developers to make 3D games on a machine with no 3D hardware and not even a hardware divider.
"Deter". It's short, to the point, and has a precise and exactly conveys the intended meaning. "Short-circuit" is long, vague, and even given the benefit of the doubt as to its suitability, has a connotation of impeding a positive action.
Way way back, before computers, before the internet, even before automobiles, there used to be buildings called "Libraries". These buildings contained lots and lots of books. Most had a large case of cards called a "Card Catalog". Each of these cards contained information about a particular book, and one of these pieces of information was a list of important words, "Key" words as it were. One part or case of these cards would be called a "Keyword index" and would let you use these "Key" words to find books containing them.
He is only liable for the four people to whom he uploaded the song. All those other uploads are attributable to different people, each only liable for four uploads. The RIAA will have to go after all of those themselves.
I am not a neuroscientist, are you? So let's just cite the American Psychological Association's definition of intelligence:
"Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by taking thought. Although these individual differences can be substantial, they are never entirely consistent: a given person's intellectual performance will vary on different occasions, in different domains, as judged by different criteria. Concepts of "intelligence" are attempts to clarify and organize this complex set of phenomena."
People have more or less organ function and efficiency, body size and muscularity, and other inherited differences. These differences are typically a result of differential expression of one or a few developmental genes. With over 50 different types of cytoarchitecture there are clearly over 50 different patterns of gene expression in different brain regions. Do you claim that there is no genetic variability in the construction of brain matter? Or do you simply claim that despite significant structural variability (arond a 15% variation in neuron density, size, and count as well as substantial variation in interconnectivity) that there is no functional variability?

You go from room to room asking if anyone is running bittorrent. When you find someone who is, shoot them and close bittorrent. I think any judge would consider this reasonable, after all it's *your* bandwidth they're stealing, and clearly thoes denied their WoW fix can't be expected to behave entirely rationally.

Why measure a thing you are trying to control when you could just measure the derivatives and second derivatives? Nothing bad could happen here.

Ridiculous. The difference in size is 0.05ml. That's about 7mAh extra on top of a 1400-1500mAh average battery.

Yeah, because it's impossible to make any changes to a game while it's in production to enhance compatibility.

I'd like to see you say that to my face, buddy. I'll pop you right in the jaw. We speak English in these parts.

Maybe they are tired of the shitty service banks today give you and want to put up a website explaining it?
Just because *you* can't think of a good reason doesn't mean there isn't one. That one took me about three seconds. Try harder.
