It would be much less of an administrative hassle to use an underpowered ARM platform running Linux so that it can't be co-opted tor playing contemporary games.
I don't see why Twitter can't just massage all the URLs in the pages they deliver to first point to their servers which then insert an additional 302 redirect for tracking. It's not like they don't have complete control over this. Any URL shortening service will still work with this arrangement. They could even do it like Google and only employ this technique for a percentage of the web pages served up.
The same system is in use in the US but it only applies to special audio CDRs (and DATs) which nobody really uses since the market for the dedicated recorders is dead. In any case it's hard to believe that content creators get any significant money out of this system since the levy is even smaller than the pittance most musicians make from CD sales.
That isn't possible. Long term consumption is dependent on driving habits, maintenance routine (oil and tires), and the type of gas used. In places where E10 and winter specific gas is used there is less energy capacity per volume than normal straight gasoline.
barring the dimwits who still send Word files around
I wouldn't completely knock Word. The Word document format maintains its contents as structured data as opposed to lines of text or individually placed glyphs that is all PDF can muster. That's great for consistent page rendering but not so hot for machine processing. Extracting text from PDF is considerably more complicated because paragraphs and blocks of text have to be guessed at by analyzing the page layout. Throw in right to left and vertical scripts and it gets even more complicated. Word may have a lot of stupid cruft in its documents but the data is decidedly easier to extract.
The US is too large to receive adequate coverage from across the Atlantic and Pacific. Japan has had its own problems with an imagery gap and was using GOES-9 on loan from us until a few years ago. Geosynchronous satellites can't easily be repositioned as it wastes fuel that is needed for basic stationkeeping.
They don't detect weight. Metal bicycle rims can be easily detected provided they are placed directly over the wire. For the figure-8 loops the middle section has two wires providing effectively twice the sensitivity and is more reliable. If the road has been repaved and the loop cuts are no longer visible this task can be challenging to futile. The same applies for motorcycles. You can't just stop in the general area and expect it to work like with a car.
How can they manage that yet not hunt down terrorists the same way?
They do but they just don't like to talk about it. Bin Laden has a firm ban on anyone having a phone or radio anywhere near him because the US has resources to pinpoint the location and order a missile strike.
If anything, all of this could be mean that our system is quite weird; at least on average.
Possibly, but not likely. Our current planet detection methods are skewed toward finding the oddballs with high mass and highly elliptical low orbital periods. They induce the most wobble and occlude the most light from their stars. As such, they are the easiest to find over short observation periods.
Even if you could mass produce this structure it will always be impractical because natural diffusion processes will cause the atoms to migrate out of position.
I think the principal conflict is that it seems like the other person is talking to you and your sense of social obligation keeps getting drawn toward the talker. That doesn't happen if the listener is present and you know you don't have to interact with the speaker. This is particularly powerful when they're on a headset that you don't notice and you haven't yet been cued that they're on the phone.
The training I had never dared call that journalism. Once upon a time, it was known as advertising.
You were trained for an era where people paid for a good chunk of the content and ads made up the difference. That era is history. Now the readers are the product. Their attention is being bought by the advertisers and the content is just a lure, rather than the primary purpose of the publication. With this model you don't need quality writing. You just need to pull people in. Creating the biggest profile possible with SEO is the easiest way to do that.
You describe all that and fail to realize that the massive distribution of binaries is precisely what has contributed to Usenet's death along with the spam. It may be hard to believe but at one time it really was used nearly exclusively for forum style discussion. Then the f'in AOLers came.
Partiot was never designed to be an anti-missile defense system. It is an anti-aircraft weapon. What was deployed in Iraq I was a rushed set of software patches that tried to improve the accuracy of the targeting for a problem outside of the design parameters. It's a wonder they managed to knock down any scuds at all. The newer PAC-3 missile is a completely different design and it *is* intended to intercept ballistic missiles within its range.
Their DNS system is related to advertising. It allows them to tie a specific IP address to user activity which can be used to build a demographic profile useful to marketers and advertisers. This can be kept anonymous and aggregated or they can correlate the IP address with its use on existing Google accounts to merge in additional info like gender and approximate location in the world.
I was under the understanding that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had already shot down the "disorderly conduct" law that was used to disenfranchise people's rights. It would be nice if the ACLU could come to New York and do the same for our law.

Kudos to your daughter for willing to be the weird kid with the oddball computer.

That sounds great until somebody learns to game the game. Then what practical use is it to the real world?
I think it's more of a cherry red.
It never ceases to amaze me how much people are willing to pay for what is literally shit to be applied to their body.

If Chrome supported a proper adblocking solution
If it's important enough, you can get an adblocking proxy filter that will let you use Chrome without the background downloads.

You could consider VB Script and HTML wrapped into a WSH file if you want a simple web GUI and being locked to IE isn't a problem.

Just get Chuck Norris on the audit team. He'll freeze any volcano scared cold.
I'm pretty sure blasphemy is a punishable offense already in Ireland and Italy and probably many other Christian nations stuck in the past.

No corporate espionage ring would need to use a "safe house" or "safe restaurant" for that matter to drop off secret information or to secretly meet.
I think the intent was to have a superb restaurant that would lure the techies in so they could have their conversations recorded.
