They dropped the transmit power when they switched to digital. Theoretically, this was OK because digital receivers can obtain a usable signal from a much lower input power. However in reality, the effective footprint of OTA channels was definitely reduced. During the transition the maximum output power was reduced from 100kW to 45kW, even though digital transmission is only 30% more efficient.
Google also has two step verification, where a code will be sent to your phone via SMS that you need to enter in order to log in to your Gmail account. A little more hassle, a lot more security.
I'm pretty sure the government is not diverting any money from NASA to try to prove intelligent design. Oh, there probably are a few in there that would like to, but it would be political suicide. (I like to think so, anyway.)
You may have a point here. Rather than having robots manufacture more and more of our products, perhaps we should just build bigger and bigger things. Floating cities? Death Stars?
Before we sent a generation ship, we would need to know a hell of a lot more about what's going on than just a sneaking suspicion there may be a planet and it may be in the habitable zone. At a minimum, we would want to have directly imaged the planet and verified from its spectra that it has a decent atmosphere and hopefully already has life.
It's really not a very good analogy. For the analogy to hold, the courts would have had to rule that a company that manufactures a computer that was used as an exit node is liable. This ruling is more akin to saying that it's illegal to leave the keys in your ignition because someone could take your car and commit a crime with it.

These are engineering challenges. We know how to attack them. TFA is about a scientific discovery.

the researchers were coincidentally all missing a particular gene and none of them could figure out what its purpose was.

looking to find and prep corporate data
I read as "looking to find and grep corporate data"...
Business lobbying for what what will be best for them. News at 11.... Hopefully, voters make this an issue.
I wonder whether your insurance company would demand to know how you have set your car, and adjust your rates accordingly?
Dice, is this your way of testing the waters?

Nobody needs to work? Well then I guess all the products would be free at that point.
Yeah. Or Chuck Norrux.
Or Tatooine (due to the fact it orbits a binary star system, not the climate).

Maybe put some in the Toronto water too...

I guess I won't be buying one.
Maybe it's the phone and not the OS. My Galaxy S3 has received many updates over the years.
Oddly enough, they often do.

For the same reason existing car companies don't refine oil.
You probably should read this book.
