shouldn't need to derive its judgement of your professionality from your clothing -- as long as you provide professional work, wear whatever you want. If you have meetings with other directors that can't tell if you're good (Dunning-Kruger says hi), wear something similar to what they wear.
Black holes also evaporate with time (due to Hawking radiation), the smaller they are the faster they evaporate. Our solar mass black hole will be nothing but an expanding cloud of weak black body photons unless a very unlikely series of events occurs.
Hawking radiation is irrelevant -- it takes 10^61 times the age of the Universe for a 30 solar mass black hole to evaporate, and the time scales with M^3. http://casa.colorado.edu/~ajsh/hawk.html
If you're a main developer and pushing progress into the project, you have a de-facto monopoly on new releases -- other people's releases will be late and/or less tested. You will be the official source.
In GPLv2 (perhaps not GPLv3) you can have the program open source, but keep the build scripts to yourself.
You can enforce being official even further by registering a trademark on your products name. Then other builds need to change the name if they want to publish releases. All of that is fine with the GPL, and is not depriving users from the source code.
"UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child --- We unequivocally oppose the United States Senate’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child." Even Iran implements it.
he's a guy with a deep sense of personal morals and an appreciation for intellectual pursuits - even if his work doesn't often promote such things
On the contrary. Family guy satires the lack of morals and intelligence.
Isn't that like saying Jackass satires stupidity and Hip-hop videos ridicule our materialistic/sexist society?
You could watch them from that POV with your argument. With South Park it's obvious that people put some thought into the satire and try to convey a "moral lesson learned".
Sure there is the question of ethics approval (addressed here), but in the first place, how do you get all the materials needed to live on mars? I understand you will bring some algae to produce oxygen. You can't cut down trees to make sheds, drill for oil or hunt deer and live off that. What will the astronauts eat? What can they use as raw materials? I don't understand how you can create a full circle without bringing everything. Maybe I'm not aware of the raw materials available on Mars.
But the US gave up talking. They cripple the factories as good as they can, on the other hand demand that Iran proves its innocence (which is impossible). They demand Iran give up their sovereignty and let IAEA roam freely around the country, while at the same time IAEA has leakage that gets Iranian scientists murdered.
If you refer to the US and Iran talking, you are only talking about a charade. The US lost trust by its actions. Like it did with torture, or starting illegal wars, it cancelled diplomacy single-sidedly.
I think Iran would be reasonable if the negotiators took Iran as an entity and their rights seriously instead of telling them from the distance what to do. Participators need to understand the culture of Iran (a lot of friction is created in the translations). That's why diplomats are so important, presidents aren't enough for the talking.
If Iran hadn't signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, it wouldn't even be bothered by the IAEA. It would be left alone to make nuclear weapons as it wished. I wonder if they could cancel the treaty. There is no real reason for Iran to build nuclear weapons and hide the fact, except now that everyone is making a fuzz to show that they can, then destroy it.
They are not buying the technology/software, they are buying the customers and market share ("three million users and 80,000 companies worldwide, including 80 percent of the Fortune 500" according to Wikipedia).
'I'm seeing this whole meme around the idea that it's us pushing for people only to use facebook.com addresses,' Chin said. "That was not our intention. We want people to use whatever's easier for them.'
So we made @facebook easiest.
To some degree I understand it though. Facebook hacks/bots becoming more and more common place. For 99% of normal users, they don't just have friends as "friends"... and every one of those potential hack victims can see your email address and potentially harvest it.
Facebook should be aware by now that users don't like Facebook (the system) forcing some changes onto them, or changing their preferences to something "that is good for you". (See privacy settings, Timeline)
Maybe Wikipedia can detect edit wars the same way as the researchers and improve merging tools. They could have a arbitrator come in and merge the two versions, or require one (or both) to submit more support for their versions before their info is incorporated. Or this is not something worth improving.
Tor won't help you if the website puts a cookie in your browser (which this discussion is about). What you need is a selective cookie policy (like Ghostery) -- it makes my Collusion graph blank.
Frankly, it becomes meaningless if we enable it by default for all our users. Do Not Track is intended to express an individual’s choice, or preference, to not be tracked. It’s important that the signal represents a choice made by the person behind the leopard and not the software maker, because ultimately it’s not Firefox being tracked, it’s the user.
Microsoft will undermine DNT if they enable it for everyone.
That's ice skating you are thinking of. In skiing and snowboarding you actually push the snow to the side (or cut it if you are carving). Thats why you can ski on sand. To state the obvious, you can't ice skate on sand.
I want to snowboard on Mars! With 0.3g the jumps will be amazing! Also, they have higher mountains.
As "good" people, we tend to see the world as "us," the good people vs "them," the bad people Cops see the world exactly the same way, except YOU are not included in the group called "us"
Stop thinking of yourself as a good law abiding citizen and pretend you're a member of organized crime. That should help recalibrate your expectation of privacy.
That would be true if we did not have a presumption of innocence. I think cops see boring, normal people and apparently "interesting" people. Also, members of organized crime have rights. Of course they lose some if they come under suspicion of a crime (such as being a member of a criminal organisation).
The Canada Border Services Agency is a government agency. If it implements a law or rule that takes away your human rights, the law does not stand up to protecting you against interference or attacks on your privacy.
So you sue them until you reach the highest court where you win. IANAL:)
"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."
I don't know if you have a Court of Human Rights in Northern America, but that's the final instance that should grant you your human right for privacy.
Qubes looks like a smart idea! A useful feature that could be built on Qubes is to allow users to install and update programs from the repo -- because of the isolation, there is no harm for other users or root, and it doesn't clutter the system or require the admin to intervene.
For mainframe computers, where multiple users work and need access to software packages, this would be useful, and solve the issue of breaking other, incompatible programs through updates.

In orbit you would get the cryogenic part for free
Not so. You have to cool satellites too as they also receive solar radiation. And getting to orbit certainly isn't free.

He is saying a legal way has to be found to leave the treaty. Currently he doesn't see one.

If I were a somewhat serious security researcher, I would install a couple of SAP and SCADA honeypots.
Perhaps fishing for executables that run, check the environment and then do nothing.

Some rights you can not waive, just like you can not stop being human.

Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ratified by all western countries, states:
