West Virginia.... where your freedom stops at the threshold of embarrassing the officialdom.
As the Manning/Wikileaks issue shows, it may not be West Virginia specific.
Does this includes... ummm... international students? After the schools will have spare capacity, it would be against "free market" not to accept...errr... Chinese students, isn't it?
Why do ISPs still provide email?
There are lots of free and pay for email servers available. I say reduce my bill $1/year and get rid of it.
I've always thought that using an ISP-provided email address is a form of vendor lock-in. Want to change ISPs? Then you will lose the email address you've had for so many years.
Most of the basic hosting include nowadays email addresses on their basic plans and they have $4-$5/mo plans. Include a.com domain name for about $10/y, it's a cost of $70/y to gain your independence of your ISP in regards to email.
With the mention of the word 'nano', I was hoping for an advance in molecular/atomic printing. I'd love the ability to mass produce objects (even just cubes) of various materials.
Careful with those - De Beers might strongly object to mass producing cubic structures from carbon atoms.

You need to lead up to the troll. You know, like foreplay. Nobody likes a trap rigged with insufficient bait.;)
As sad as it would be, with the younger generation suffering of ADHD in mass, you simply can't troll the subtle way anymore., you loose them if you don't inflame them right away.

Yes, of course. Now there's no ifs or buts!
1.a woman should be accepted for modelling on "Fusion HydraGel Tough Beard Shave Gel" (irrespective of the toughness of her beard).
2.a male can now apply without any barrier as a model for the cover of... what's the name?? Victoria secrets?...
If any of them be rejected, one should only whisper... "You know... presenting lingerie on female / shaving products by men models is... a... stereotype! Are you sure?"
True, but that's getting pretty common in large-scale scientific applications these days. The LHC generates about 100 terabytes per second, for example. The numbers on the page you linked say SKA will generate "enough raw data to fill 15 million 64 GB iPods every day", which is actually an order of magnitude lower: 15 million * 64 GB = 960 PB per day. Divide that by 86400 seconds in a day, and you get about 11 TB/s.
While LHC generates 10 times more data in a single experiment (usually scheduled months or years ahead), think that SKA will generate data each day every day.
MS not offering anymore "Skype Out" in France... Who's going to lose? Well, it's the worst kind of solution, in which everybody loses something and nobody wins (not even the French VoIP providers: the greatest majority of Skype-out calls happens just because the called is not online and the caller would like her/him to join a Skype-to-Skype session. A SMS - direct or via Twitter - would achieve pretty much the same thing).
(ummm, perception you say.... A funny thing this perception...)
My point wasn't at all philosophical: I was just pointing out that a potential catastrophic release of methane from the sea bed could mean every human may have totally other priorities than to admire rainbows (if they'd be able to have priorities at all, I imagine that a dead person couldn't care less about either rainbows or survival).
Here's an analogy: suppose you have a glass of water slowly warming in the sun. Everything is nice and dandy, the system is close to a thermal equilibrium at any moment; would you live inside the glass, you'd have time to adapt to the warming
Now, imagine that you drop a red-hot piece of metal inside the glass. Suddenly, for a good period of time what happens inside the glass is catastrophically far from an equilibrium even if, eventually, a new equilibrium would be reached.
Do you think you would be able to survive the transient chaotic period? Even if you do, would you be inclined to have aesthetic feelings caused by eventual rainbows? (highly likely a rainbow may be a sign of a super-storm that just passed, or is about to begin or you're just in the storm's eye).
You have a better perception on my point now?
Offshore extraction of NG from hydrates for Japan will be a tough pill to swallow for people whose country was recently trashed by tsunamis, as hydrates are associated with prehistoric massive seabed slumping. Read more here: DOE Meeting Summary: Catastrophic Methane Hydrate Release
the U.S. WILL go in and do what is in their best interest.
I don't know why I have a feeling that US'es best interest is to fix their security flaws. Otherwise... what, will you do the same when e.g. Belarus (as a country) or a group of Russian hackers (acting "in private name") decides they'd like to test US tubez? Or is one of your kinky pleasures to pay taxes that will end into the bank accounts of the "defense industry"?
Bullets are INCREDIBLY easy to make at home. As a matter of fact due to the recent ammo shortages I've been casting my own from scrap lead.
A GOOD reloading setup that will make ammo as good or better than factory ammo will cost you less than $300. Lee Precision actually makes loading kits that will do nearly as good a job (though with a lot more effort and frustration) for around $25.
My bad. I was thinking the entire cartridge. Suppose you no longer find gun powder/caps...
A lower without an upper is useless. That means all they have to do is update the law. Making barrels is still a lot harder to do, same with actions. The law is outdated and should regulate the parts that are hardest to produce.

Shut up, Beardo, or you are in for another kick!

During the apple / java problem debacles the consensus arose that even though the flaw was in java, apple was to blame. Surely the same apples here.

A bandwidth cap what is this 1998 ? I thought every western country had fiber coverage even france is mostly fiber.
Well, I guess that Northern Indiana is... well... more northern then it's western.

Squaring the circle was demonstrated impossible 131 years ago... all you can do now is to walk around the square.

that is a big number it sounds awefully low to me
Well, it is actually low. E.g. the entire cloud fits a single server on a cable modem (true, with lots of caching). You ask for citations? Here you go
can handle 10 times the traffic of today's Internet
Yeah, you can get something on the front page of slashdot if you use stupid, misleading metrics like this. Soulskill has his head buried in the sand.
A single computer, probably not.
Otherwise, the entire SKA will indeed produce 10 times the amount of data trafficking the today's internet.

(BTW: Mother of Storms made an enjoyable reading for me).
How do fossil fuels cause rainbows to perish? All you need is humidity and a light source.

Also known as Clathrate gun
Ammo shells can repeatedly be reused. And it's easy to form new slugs by melting old ones.
Slugs are not a problem. Now, tell me about caps/primers.

My bad. I should have asked: the ammo/cartridge? If banned/restricted, can you 3D-print the gun powder and the primer?
So what?
