which brings up an interesting point. What happens if a patent should be invalid, but Australia is forced to enforce it due to treaty obligations. I assume that an Australian judge can neither invalidate a US patent nor abrogate Australia's treaty obligations.
If you did it on their dime they most likely own the code and can do whatever they want with it. Even if you didn't, they may still own it depending on what your contract says. Out of curiosity what is the project?
Even from a 100k up you need a lot of fuel to get into orbit and getting it there with helium is impractical... that was my conclusion from doing similar back of the envelope calculations anyway.
And yet a human banana hybrid would be less genetically similar to an actual human than a chimpanzee is naturally. Moreover, a human-chimp hybrid could be close enough to human, or could reach that point through selective breeding, that it could be mistaken for a human. Perhaps even to the point of interbreeding being possible. Ultimately the < 50% spliced DNA bar leads to a state where it is possible to create a "slave race" with human capabilities, but not human rights. It should be self evident that doing so would be a huge ethical problem for the species, but it should also be self evident that it would present a huge economic advantage for those that owned slaves.
IIRC bananas have > 50% Human DNA. Are you arguing that they should be able to vote? In places that have mandatory voting should we put them in prison if they don't?
I saw this on TV a while back, fortunately someone (not me) uploaded it to youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQwJXvlTWDw The octopus is really intelligent and does more or less what you described.
what is to stop someone who has rooted your box from impersonating you on the "secure" network? There is only one possible answer to that and its far scarier than anything that results from anonymity on the internet.
All of your examples have more to do with marketing than they do with anything tangible, but when it comes to specifics like rgbh, disease testing, and GMOs the government is fairly consistent about being pro-agribusiness and anti-consumer.
how are they going to find out? at least here in the US there is no requirement to label GM foods and I think it is illegal to label non-GM food as such. So if you go to the produce section how are you going to know which potatoes, corn, etc are genetically modified?
the existence of a "Password reset" feature implies that it is not stored securely. Balancing that with the need for a password recovery is one of the fundamental problems with this type of service.

I think this may have already happened. It would explain a lot.
I believe the preferred method is to hit them over the head with a sack of money.
Is this the project? and if so are you calming that code in the gov.nj.framework namespace wasn't written for anyone in particular?
anyone that they distributed it to. If that's no one then the GPL fork is dead.

health insurance and taxes among other things.
how does a chip sized deep space probe transmit anything useful back to earth?

The cephalopods are the overlords, the fish are just their minions.

doesn't RFC 3514 already address this?
except the "dump" appears to be somewhere around $30k which suggests that one or two people shorting it could drive it into the ground.
there is no bank yet but there is no reason, as far as I know, that one couldn't be set up and start giving bitcoin loans.
the charity of others is taxable income.
because as long as there are drug buyers they will be able to exchange them for real currency.
I'm not an MS hater, but its hard to imagine a desktop UI more full of fail than this.

Not that far fetched TBH.
This is called Pascal's Wager... which could only work if FSM was incredibly naive.
the interesting question is how were they compromised? If its put together properly there should be minimal risk if the DB is disclosed.
