They want the requirement even if they don't win it, so they're saying we'll bid (and hence the final price might be higher) if you put this clause in the agreement. Google are not going to win the bidding anyway if $4.6 billion is their max bid...
Because it was a joke, and SNOJOB is the coolest name the joke writer could think of, plus rot-13d SNOBOL is just so stupid it should be an obvious joke.
Please point out the word practically in: "The optics can be subtracted from the recording if their specific details are known. That's the beauty of analog recording: it is infinite" cause I sure can't see it.
Maybe if you didn't make completely ridiculous claims people would join in with you laughing at other people making less ridiculous claims? The claimer in question, curator of the collection and hence possibly knows a little about it - though less about computing and digital versus analog, is certainly closer than you since whatever the actual storage requirements are to represent those plates (store the atomic configuration - Heisenberg be damned) it minus a petabyte is smaller than infinity minus it:)
It's obviously not infinite. There is some number of atoms involved in the image, and they can only take on a finite number of states and still be an image on a plate. Plus of course the pigeon hole principle should make it pretty obvious that the image on the plate can't represent all possible configurations of the atoms in the part of the universe it took an image of (since there are more of them then there are possible configurations of the plate) and hence not everything has been recorded and hence it's not "infinite".
Good luck distinguishing all the atoms on the facing surface of every star captured on one of those infinite analog recordings.
If Libby went to jail then what you want is what would happen. You'd have be blind Freddy not to see that at some point Libby informed Cheney/Bush/whomever that "if I set foot in a jail cell my lawyer will mail this large package documenting everything to the New York Times".
Except that 2 and 3 were found not to be true. 1 wasn't known at the time of the shooting - if possessing drugs is enough to be shot then police in the US might as well just randomly shoot every third person they meet chances are they've got drugs stashed somewhere.
4 is unjustified in the anyway. Tennessee v. Garner still stands after all, the suspect was not posing a threat to anyone as he ran towards the border, hence deadly force is not allowed. There's also the point that at the time he wasn't even a fleeing felon anyway, they hadn't found the drugs yet.
We don't have 9/11 events every day probably because 9/11 wasn't performed by mexican illegal immigrants or drug smugglers.
Because shooting unarmed mexicans in the back is their job? In which case why cover it up (by collecting the shell casings and filing false reports not mentioning that nights "shoot at mexicans" festivities)?
Since it's a well defined trademarked term all that matters is what OSI thinks. They use it for their web content but don't list at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical so it would seem they don't think it is Open Source and hence it isn't by definition.
That way the US army is full of people who aren't American and hence probably don't have "defending America" high on their list of "things worth being killed or maimed for". People who are mercenaries in the fullest sense of the word - fighting solely for the payment (in this case a green card).
I'm sure Al Qaeda has a bunch of members who would love to sign up to join the US military and work from the inside.

Thanks for the pointing that out. Don't let the pages and pages of writing they have produced on lighting and electricity generation fool you, they just never realised that plants might need light.
Except of course if you ever happen to want to get into debt for some unforeseen reason (medical expenses, paying of the terrorists who kidnapped your mother, whatever) the "history" part of it means you're screwed if you didn't do something as simple as keep a fee free credit card without ever paying a cent of interest anyway.
When I migrated to the US I, by virtue of just having migrated, had no credit history. I had to put a six month deposit down on my apartment - in NYC - it's enough money the oppportunity cost of having it in whatever account the land lord put it in where half the tiny interest goes in fees is noticable.
Either the players are paying in which case banning them hurts the bottom line, or the game is free in which case they just grab a new hotmail address and create a whole new account every time they get banned.
A MMO could be very interesting to play if someone smarter than me could work this out, you want to allow "antisocial" behaviour since you want some people to play characters that are antisocial. Player character bad guys are a great thing after all, but that means you have the idiots creating a character and being a jerk, when they get thrown in jail/killed they just respawn to do it again or create a new character to do it again.
EVE avoids a lot of the drawbacks. They got rid of "learning by doing" skill systems so you don't have people creating 47 million copies of X in order to raise whatever skill it raises. They have a good player-to-player trade system which makes for a reasonable economy. But of course it has its own problems.
People are just not nice... Even something like second life has people spawning objects with the sole intent of lagging everyone else.
The paper about the UO economy I gave the url before is a good read, this rant: http://mu.ranter.net/theory/index.html is much more opinionated but also a good read if you're interested in what other people have thought about these things.
That's what lots of gamers want, however, it is doomed to fail because you always have a set of players who just want to ruin the game for everyone else. If you allow them to wipe out the fish by overfishing, they'll organise a fish-athon as soon as they find out they can ruin fishing for everyone else.
"Society" can't impose rules on them since they'll just create another character and do it again.
UO did that at the beginning. It doesn't work mainly because player's hoard. Plus of course player's will find a dupe bug at some point and screw the whole thing up (see UO again).

The other bit I can't see that you seem to is where the dev was declared to be "wrong"?
Because "virtualization=slow" is completely different than "The virtual servers were slower".
They want the requirement even if they don't win it, so they're saying we'll bid (and hence the final price might be higher) if you put this clause in the agreement. Google are not going to win the bidding anyway if $4.6 billion is their max bid...
Those "bugs" aren't people and hence don't have internal organs that go splat.
So "suid root is evil" then, which is completely different than "suid is evil" - and not everyone can read minds across the interweb...

Good luck setting up the TV, we just foreclosed your home.
Because the FCC has complete control over patents, copyright, and trademarks.
Which part of "cell towers" are you having trouble understanding?
Still gives your details to AT&T^H^H^H^HNSA for the paranoid...

That'd just be a study to see which search engine gives the best results, which is a pretty normal boring done a million times thing.
They wanted to study what affect branding had on user perceptions - a completely different thing, also normal and studied slightly fewer times.
Good idea.
