Where to start with that paranoid fantasy? Well, apart from the fact that the claims you make of China could apply to any nation on the planet, your assertions are so ridiculous I just seriously hope that is a bad copy of the Onion.
Fine. Provide some actual sources then. Sure. My uncles wifes cousins friend who worked with the military on a top secret project that only seven people (including Margaret Thatcher) knew about, and they said that the army could literally bend light in space using zero point gravity pumps to see around corners with special goggles, but they had trouble photographing the text of golf balls. Therefore I never go around corners, call me paranoid but it's just to be safe.
The threat of nuclear anhialation is less Is it? Sure, the USSR went down, and Pakistan, India and N. Korea probably don't have ICBMs, so that just leaves nukes in the hands of Russia, France, Britain, the US, China, Israel, and potentially other ex-soviet countries. That looks to me like proliferation, not reduction, and an increase in potential use.

Really? And in the same spectrum ranges? Could you name one of these telescopes for me?
Oh Hello Kitty Gas-mask Girl, standing there before the world. With those shorts, so short and tight, Xenu-bless, they fit you right. I sit here now, my "flag unfurled", all for you, Hello Kitty Gas-mask Girl.
Wow. It's amazing they couldn't fit the contents of the summary in the headline. They really expect us to read an entire half-a-dozen sentences before spouting off bullshit posts! It's a disgrace, and will be the last straw causing the downfall of slashdot itself, you just wait and see.
Unless, of course, the planet is a cool -60 C, or even a boiling 700 C. Water is right for us, but we shouldn't preclude alternate environs from our search for life.
Concealing the ideas destroys their truth. Only lies require the kind of secrecy that surround their teachings. Liars, crooks, thieves, scoundrels the lot of them.
For other people the consequence could be rather more serious, and I'd like to see MS offering something in the way of compensation if they're mistaken. Sure you are entitled to compensation. From the EULA:
18. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDIES. Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, all damages referenced herein and all direct or general damages in contract or anything else), the entire liability of Microsoft and any of its suppliers under any provision of this EULA and your exclusive remedy hereunder (except for any remedy of repair or replacement elected by Microsoft with respect to any breach of the Limited Warranty) shall be limited to the greater of the actual damages you incur in reasonable reliance on the Software up to the amount actually paid by you for the Software or US$5.00. The foregoing limitations, exclusions and disclaimers (including Sections 15, 16 and 17) shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, even if any remedy fails its essential purpose. Don't spend it all at once.
But if you count the good and the bad that science brings us, we're unquestionably much better off because of science. Are we unquestionably merely materially better off or did you mean ethically, morally and spiritually better off?
I see now. Everything a scientist does increases entropy, therefore all scientists are evil, whereas the Pope barely does anything at all, maintaining Gods perfect equilibrium. Glad we sorted that out.
I personally thought he handled that well, by accepting responsibility and apologising instead of scapegoating the ghostwriter and denying he was to blame. I accept his explanation that they were not his words due to the fact that is the only place any such claims seem to have been made by him but make of it what you will.
You got me there, I wasn't very confident in my fingerpointing, and it turns out I was dead wrong. Thanks for the correction, I responded far too hastily to an ACs inflammatory remarks, and just ended up being just as inflammatory and devoid of content as the GP. Apologies to Billy G.
Well it appears they are attacking an MS box, by the Program Files part of the filename string. I doubt this would do much on a *nix box with proper access permissions set up. So yes, this is indirectly MSs' fault if theirs is the only platform vulnerable, which is likely.
Considering that large numbers of much smarter people have been playing with motors and magnetic circuits for about 140 years now, I doubt there is anything new to be discovered in this field. "Everything that can be invented has been invented."

From TFA: But that does not affect my determination to fight on, in every caucus and primary remaining, and at the convention for our ideas, with just as many delegates as I can get. The summary is just plain wrong.

I'd like to throw in www.256b.com to the mix.
Thanks for the reply, it's certainly impressive. I wonder how for we can push the next space based telescope. Onwards to the past!
Take the quiz!

Indeed, and it's always the leftmost, or sinister twin.
I guess you meant CORBA, and no, even if OSS was an entity (perhaps you meant OSI) it is far from abandoned.

There's this thing called carbon-based memory I use from time to time. Efficient, portable, unfortunately it is easily broken by Johnny Walker and co.

Whats so insane about it? That he pushed unpopular views is not insanity, it's integrity. Which of his views do you find insane?
