Humans as the most important resource is the old economy... due to overpopulation and automation the most important resources for a society are slowly becoming natural resources. For the competition between first world countries it's already true, the country with the highest median wealth has a trade surplus based on oil. The comparative advantage of an educated labour force is diminishing very fast. So no, all those people freed up in IT will not flow towards creating more wealth in other ways. It will just lower the wages of Wallmart greeters.
It led to a significantly more stable economy... until Reagan fucked it up and trade imbalances and debt (the latter partially being created by the powers that be to make the former sustainable for a longer time) started going only one way. The last 30 years have been a stable drive, towards impending doom (for most of us, although obviously not for the neo-feudal overlords busy concentrating ownership in land/power/water).
Even without the Tsunami a crack in the storage pool could have quickly saturated the building with radiation beyond the point where people could work there... which would have caused the exact same problem they are facing now (how to cool down the spent fuel if you can't get close and all your water just goes down the crack).
The MitM doesn't intercept the key exchange, the MitM will be the opposing partner for key exchange to both Bob and Alice (pretending to be the other). That's why he is the man in the middle. He cuts the lines (QC has two communication channels) and builds two complete circuits instead of one. To "prevent" this from happening QC protocols begin with the assumption that there is an authenticated plain text channel (or broadcast without the potential for a MitM, but that won't be technically feasible most of the time). Of course in practice an attacker won't respect assumptions...
So to get truly secure QC you have to actually make the assumption a reality... but how? PKI is obviously not an option for authentication:) Now there are some technical countermeasures, but there is no mathematical guarantee for MitM being impossible or even hard.
Be careful what you wish for... in a way selling off your domestic economy to foreign owners is similar to trade deficits, in both cases as a country you are borrowing against the future. Except trade deficits just result in national debt, which can be inflated away... foreign ownership is harder to reverse (which is exactly why the trade surplus countries, like Russia, are switching from buying bonds to buying companies).
Obviously your internet situation sucks balls... but foreign solutions are not necessarily the right answer.
You can't process them right after they come out... they have to "cool" down.
To me it seems though that these storage pools should be holes in the ground... so it can't leak as easily and you can at least fill them up with sand/rubble and top them off with concrete even if water does somehow drain away faster than you can fill it.
In what fucking universe does filtering a couple TB of structured records for source and/or recipients of payments take five fucking years? (They pretend like it's a lot of data, but by modern standards it just isn't... on the order of 10 million transactions a day, that's trivial.) I bet there are a dozen people in this thread which with specifications of the SWIFT data records and the LEGAL queries which can made on that data could hack something up within a day.
If this had been done honestly this is how it would have been done :
The US supplies the EU with open source software to perform queries, Interpol reviews the source code and the queries, the US only gets the results.
Of course the US isn't doing legal queries, they are datamining...
By the way a lot of non modern art isn't meant to inspire, force contemplation of life or challenge your philosophical views... it's simply meant to be pretty and nothing else. To me it seems aestheticism would be just as much an obstacle to true art with your reasoning as rules based gaming.
Following your reasoning to it's conclusion, only completely abstract non utilitarian media can be art... as soon as it's pretty, entertaining at a base level or has any use whatsoever those very qualities will stand in the way of finding the time for being inspired, for contemplating life, for challenging your philosophical views, for developing yourselves as a empathetic human being. To me it seems only modern art can be art to you.
If Red Hat's FAQ is correct the patent license applies to all derivative works... so there is a royaltee free license.
"All products distributed under a Red Hat brand are covered, as well as upstream predecessor versions of those products. In addition, derivative works of or combination products using covered products are protected from any patent claim based in any respect on the covered products."
Not really... the worst hitting a reasonable use cap will do is get you shut off or throttled. Once there is a real cap they will let you silently go over it and charge you through the nose.
Steam explosions, spontaneous decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen at high temperature+pressure or hell... terrorism. There are ways to get a reactor to explode even though the fuel can't.

Well unless the CA's pay off Mozilla/Microsoft/Apple not to implement it.

The only thing which separates Fed employees from Wallstreet is a couple of years and a career change (either way).

MitM breaks QC, always will ... no matter how many assumptions are added to the contrary.

Or in other words, blah blah blah, so this might be art ...
They don't seem to accept anything but pictorial art AFAICS. Even by classical definitions of art that's a bit constricting.
No, we are discussing semantics. Only an artist could believe a definition of art could be objectively true, engineers are smarter than that.
Or in other words, blah blah blah, it's not art :)

Be warned, Dragon Age 2 is a bit more casual now.
Again, wishful thinking from an executive who has an interest in only big games doing well ... because who the hell wants competition right?
In the meantime what is really happening is that Steam and XBLA are actually successfully shipping those mid size games.

I kinda like that they are out of focus, keeps the deletionists away from them ... for now.
The porn crusade was less than a year ago ... long time indeed.
It's not about image ... it's a social MMO and deletions are how you can prove you are winning.
I'd estimate the chances of the pressure vessel having blown up slightly higher than 0 at the moment.
Generation is generally defined as part of the grid.
Steam explosions, spontaneous decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen at high temperature+pressure or hell ... terrorism. There are ways to get a reactor to explode even though the fuel can't.
Modern nuclear power is safe, but we didn't put containment domes on modern reactors for nothing.
In retrospect that reactor should have been replaced years ago in a country like Japan.
