Probabilistically, there are other Earth like planets with similar benevolent condition. It is probable, it is possible. It is almost a certainty that simple lifeforms exists in outer space. The really question is if those benevolent conditions were long enough to allow evolution to sentient lifeforms in other planets. For example there is an hypothesis that if the asteroid didn't strike the Earth, we would have reptilian senients evolved from the Troodon which had semi prensil opposed claws, stereoscopic vision and more importantly a constant encephalic development before its extinction. So think about it, we could have had a reptilian friend playing poker with us. Life doesn't need much to exist, and the universe is vast.

I think that we should remember the original concept of a virus: self replicating code. A binary that continues self copying itself and infecting other programs by binding its own code to them.
A very simple conceptual and inoffensive "virus" could be a simple bat that copies itself with a >> to any bat file... something really annoying I made once was a file called: "glutton.bat" which had,
@echo off
echo Can't stop eating...
echo I just can't...
echo glutton.bat>>target.bat
As soon as glutton is ran, target gets "infected" with a new line... and when "target.bat" is ran, it will just keep increasing its size ad infinitum. This is not executable and still explains the fundamental concept of how a virus behave.
Now, if you want to infect a network with a proper worm, that is another story and I think that explaining about exploits and autorooters is way out of the scope of a 101 class IMO.
1) We see reflected and refracted light, otherwise we would see darkness.
2) An opaque object means that light bounces from it, therefore see the opaqur object and we can't see what's in the other side.
3) if the best analogy they could have come up with is a hand with a potent source of light that allows to see the blurry hints of bones and veins of our hand, it is translucency not opacity.
It makes sense to recompose scattered light with algorithms, but it doesn't make sense if they insist calling it "seeing through opacity". If they claim that they can see through a rock "with visual light" then it is truly something I would like to have next to my IR filters in the beach. (remember the nightshot + Ir filters scandal? Lol)

Maybe the sociologist was biased? Maybe the proper word wouldn't be "help" it should be "useful". I think it is simply too obvious that we would spend time fixing (or nurturing) an application (or relationship) that we believe it worth our time.
Nothing new here... this is simple economics, but his overwhelming eagerness of proving his point he ended up seeing humans everywhere, in science we call it confirmation bias.
Hell, if he can write a book with such an idiotic theme, I should start writing my own book. (And sometimes we need satires like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ7J7UjsRqg to keep reminding us how "science" might be rediscovering obvious and stupid facts...)
I wonder what Spartans would have thought about this news. We are alarmed because of an hypothetical mind exercise for 15yrs old kids when 2500 years ago these kids would have been already married and battling in the field. Spartan wives and mothers said their goodbyes by saying "with the shield or on the shield" which meant "come back victorious (holding the shield) or dead (on the shield)". These days we are becoming too soft and psychologically weaker. Really? We are overprotecting the kids from stress at all cost with these neurotic worrying over videogames, movies and creative teachers who break canons. Our society is full of mediocres and pussies, I am sick of it.
The ancient question arises: when a man is a man? Is a kid less human than an adult? Is a fetus less human than a kid? Is an embryo less human than a fetus? Is a morula less human than an embryo? And we can get to the very genesis of the conception: the fusion of the gametes. There is a very clear before and after the conception, and I strongly believe that a fertilized egg should be considered a human being because of its potentiality: feed it and let it grow and it will become a man.
Free Market and public services, uhmm no.
A really efficient mixed system would be a socialist political system that guarantees the well being of their citizens while still opened to a full free market.
Privatization of common goods such as water and health care is a recipe for disaster.
What you have in the US is not a mixed system, it is a corrupted capitalist system.
What you say sounds too ideal for a country that is the epitome of the capitalist system. The best example is the health care. I think there is nothing else to say.
Just because I love messing with people, especially with the police, I would:
First, ask a lawyer.
Secondly, start singing. I'm tone deaf. Talk about psychOPs!
There are very cool pranks done at HOPE, which was enlightening. Emmanuel Goldstein called to BP and ended up convincing an employee to leave open the office door, and telling him that because it was too late he wouldn't be appearing with the company van. He didn't get any confidential information regarding to the store (surprisingly, some of the employees seemed to be trained and others seemed to be very stupid to understand the questions) but if wanted he could have gone to the gas station with a free pass to the office, from an unmarked unbranded van. That is social engineering.

Dwight Schrute was right!
Would the temperature raise 1000 times more than now?
(Would we need cryogenic coolers?)

I, for one, welcome our new vending machine overlords
and how is that relevant to this?

NO, it is precisely the contrary. Looking through the eyes of the enemy what you gain is EMPATHY not resentment. E
