If the KHTML folks did their homework and their code base is indeed cleaner, more robust and more maintainable than what is known as WebCore, then the KHTML team should have few problems matching WebCore on any metric (from performance to features). Otherwise, what is the point of having a cleaner code base?
They should not stop here. They should stop teaching evolution completely. Silly theory. Biology needs to be revised since it does not take God into account. Enough about cellular processes, it's God's little hands! Physics and its theory of relativity should go next as it implies that God could not be everywhere and anywhere at once. Quantum mechanics is a mathematical abomination and so much less elegant than stating "God does it" (Occam's razor, don't forget!) Algebra was perfected by heathens so that should go too.
Once Kansas is done overhauling and improving its education system to the pinnacle of enlightenment not long will pass before the U.S. will be awash with cheap, young, uneducated burger flippers to quickly replace the influx of illegal immigrants.
Selfless in the name of national security. Kansas, I salute you!
It appears most complaints about the firewall are for accessing foreign, non-Chinese websites while internal communication is unfettered. When anyone with a PC and a semi-permanent broadband link can set up an encrypted and authenticated website, the Chinese government is failing to protect against the real threat to its existence - the free flow of ideas within the Chinese citizenry.
Ooh, look, here is another one! ATL Large airports are likely to always have an airplane in takeoff/landing since they are trying to be as efficient as possible with their runways. The Tokyo 747 in the article is about as exciting as the SFO picture and the ATL picture. Not very.
A more elegant solution is to encrypt your data to begin with.
After the upfront cost/time of putting in the encryption solution, replacing and discarding drives incurs zero overhead. An encrypted drive is useless to anyone who does not have the encryption key.
Encryption also provides ongoing protection for the drives during use and for backups.

That is because most of Google's revenue comes from shady ad practices. Many of the weird spammy sites you mention, those that provide you with a list of "related" links and a search bar are powered by Google. Don't believe me?
Go to www.gardening.com. Though the links are cloaked, if you trace the network activity, you end up pulling stuff from Google.
It is Google's way of being slimy while publicly pretending to be the clean cut good guy.
Read the entire comment. C will let you do what you want. If you want to write cryptically, write cryptically. If you don't want to, you don't have to. Lisp is embarassingly cryptic regardless of what you do.
I would disagree with your assertion that the C syntax is braindead. C syntax is the cleanest syntax I've seen in that it strikes a near perfect balance between uniformity and simplicity (essentially the number of syntax rules that need to be memorized by the programmer) and allowing him/her to create maintainable code. It won't hold your hand but it will not get in the way either.
Other languages are either too cryptic ala ((((()))())) or have so many syntactic idiosyncracies that they are simply a pain to use. Perl, Applescript, SH and other shell variants for example.
C has its drawbacks but syntax is not one of them.
I forgot one more "engineering" point. In the biodegradable case you will also be lifting up the regular suits for emergencies because the biodegradable one very probably has a limited per use time. So you will be carrying the normal suit load plus 2 tons of fertilizer so that you sound eco-friendly.
From an engineering perspective, biodegradable suits are a joke. Let's assume you consume X space suits for the lifetime of the your habitat. They are so wonderful they only weigh 20[kg] a piece. So now you have to shuttle up W=20X[kg] worth of suit material to your habitat which eventually biodegrades into some goop possibly good as fertilizer. X=10, W=200[kg]. Not so bad X=100, W=2000[kg]. woa, getting heavy there. You need to lift 2 tons of suit material. Yikes! Don't forget shelf life and packaging to keep it intact before use. Don't forget the pressurized, filtered and contained compost heap that ensure it doesn't kill off the crew or generally create insufferable odors. Now let's assume you have standard suits, 10 people in your habitat. 100[kg] a suit and you are still shipping up only 1 ton of equipment for something you can you use indefinitely (delta repairs).
This could possibly make sense only if you were manufacturing the stuff in or around your habitat out of locally available materials. This is a very long way off.
Like I said, unless you really need all that fertilizer, fluffy.
What would be truly amazing is if Lisa detected artificial, intelligent signals being propagated via gravity waves. The immensity of civilizations doing something of that magnitude would be incomprehensible to us.
So the pen story is apocryphal. That's not much of an example. The Soviet Union excelled at keeping people is space for long durations. Mostly, I think, because they just went ahead and did it. On the other hand, NASA was more successful in practically everything else. Examples: the obvious moon shot (NASA flew there for almost a decade while the Russians never even got close to landing anyone on the surface), deep space probes (Pioneer 10, 11), the Hubble space telescope was envisioned and funded way back in 1977, long before anyone could blame evil Afghanistan. The Soviet Union had a lot of simple "firsts" that were all matched, put people in orbit for long periods of time and went to Venus. That was about the extent of it.
The Soviet Union fell apart because it did not work - not one single little part of it. Trying to blame the fall of a state system on one cause is simplistic at best. Afghanistan, was just one contributing factor of many. The United States did not crumble because of Vietnam like it did not crumble from Korea. In fact, many see the United States' involvment in Aghanistan as revenge for Vietnam. Anyway, I have nothing personal against Russia (I've been there!) or against Russians (have many Russian friends!) and I did not say the U.S. is superior but the "Russian is better" hubris just never fails to amuse me. Russia DID NOT WORK (and continues to fade under Mr. Putin), the proof is in the pudding.
The Russians do everything better. Their space craft are better, their rockets are more powerful, their fighter planes are superior, their jetliners are better, their metro system is more efficient, their weapons are more effective. Even their Pirogi tastes better. Everything the Americans can do, the Russians can do more simply, more economically and more effectively. That is why Russia is the sole remaining super power...

Also quite interesting is a search for google
It doesn't make a difference if people are having a hard time finding jobs. It is still in the interest of employers to scream and kick and scratch for more H1B visas so that they can increase the labor pool, increase demand for jobs and thus decrease the salary they need to pay to their employees. By that measure H1Bs will always be short.

Can't they direct their energies at something more useful, say, like, you know, finally getting 5.x to a stable state with the ULE scheduler?

Like I said, unless you really need all that fertilizer, fluffy.
In space? Without bacteria or oxygen?
The only thing I can think of to degarde your suit would be sunlight and I don't think that would be a design feature.
Fluffy, very fluffy but meaningless.
