Except we don't know those rules well enough yet to do that. We don't understand protein folding. Heck, we don't fully understand water. The equations might prove not to be that simple.
Actually it was part of the Mongol empire, but that doesn't make it a province of Mongolia, any more than American Samoa is a state. The non-Mongol parts of the Mongol empire were administered very differently--as colonies, effectively--from Mongolia proper.
Not paying anything? Tuition at Brown is $35,584, and some of that goes to IT services; the fact that they've contracted student email service out to Google is irrelevant.
I think stating one's nationality implies that the writer is framing his/her comments as representing the expectation in one's country. What level of privacy one should desire from a pure philosophical standpoint, what is legally protected, and what the cultural norm expects can all be different.
Really? You'd let someone be convicted of murder because of what was on their myspace page? The information presented in a trial isn't all necessarily true, but it is vetted procedurally, and more importantly both sides know what information the jury is getting and thus have the opportunity to respond to it. What if, for example, one side in a trial intentionally posted false information online so that the jury would find and be influence by it? The current system is not perfect, but you've struck upon what may be the stupidest approach to improving it.
Earlier this year I was a juror in a civil trial about a slip-and-fall in a parking lot. Simple stuff, nothing that would have been in the paper, but the case related to the layout of the parking lot where the accident occurred, and it was very tempting to look at the satellite photos on Google Maps (I did so after the trial). I would bet that most cases are like this: relatively few would make it into the media, but for many some potentially relevant information is out there, and requires zero effort to find.
And that's why everyone is on her case. It's not as though she was doing anything shifty. If I were her boss, I'd just sent her a letter, explaining how some minuscule changes could fix things. Instead of firing her, he should have put on some Dvorak and calmed down, or at least sent a page up to ask the board of the company. In the future, the key thing the firm could do is find an appropriate space and pick up the tab for a function that would teach alternate methods for controlling oneself; I'm sure that would bring significant returns. But them's the breaks, I guess.
If you could track the numbers called (on skypeout), you might be able to identify calls to banks, credit card companies, etc., and listen only to those.
Actually all it needs is a property for bookmarks/folders: "Do not include in search." Then you could have these sites hidden in your bookmarks but they would not come up on the awesome bar.
No need. Use profiles. For bonus difficulty, tell it to store the profile's files on a removable drive, encrypted volume, or other manually-mounted location.
Definitely a good idea to keep your porn in a manually-mounted location.
Very true. In China there's a huge corpus of stone inscriptions--most of which have survived not on stone, but as transcriptions in books. The stones wear away but the texts are recopied and preserved.
In a lot of places AFAIK the distinction between parking and stopping is based on whether the driver is in the car or not. And duplicating the whole system by allowing both traditional meters and RFID kind of obviates all the cost-saving.
No they're not, they're too cheap. If they were as expensive to operate as they really should be, there would be fewer of them, particularly in big cities, and public transit would improve.
The college I work at (in the US) uses exactly this system for occasional parkers like me. If you park regularly you can buy a pass, but you can also get scratch-off passes of exactly this sort. The downside of this system for a city like Chicago and for North America more generally is that you have a lot of out-of-town visitors to deal with, and having to go to a convenience store or other kiosk is a major hassle.

I include that in my definition of cumbersome.
Snapter is a bit cumbersome but that's what it does.

Until one executive officer decides it is permanently Tuesday.

2009 was the year the Indian lunar satellite went out of control.
But if the cost is one we'd pay anyhow (to resurface roads), it's a twofer.
Given that the US spends over a trillion dollars on energy a year, that's a bargain.
What about the middle of the night, when there's much less traffic?

Handy tip: with Firefox you can type the MIDDLE of a URL/Title and it will find it. So you can just type "utub" and it won't bring up youporn.
Because this is about lazy people who want to keep *bookmarks*--it's not about not keeping things in history.

If you're talking about the cost of developing parking meters in the same breath as that of building nuclear reactors, you're doing it wrong.

How would the sensor know if a car was parked or just stopped? What about out-of-town visitors?
