Personally I'm surprised Google Translate doesn't do this sort of translation. There's enough nerds working there, so languages such as Elvish and Klingon should be available by now.
Just like what happened to Mugabe in Zimbabwe. While I'm not willing to predict that there won't be a takeover, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that his goose is cooked. Despots have a habit of surprising the free world with their brutality.
The problem is that Mugabe maintains a large degree of popular support and will likely pass on screwing up the country to whoever brown-noses him best, and this is similar to Venuzuala.
Unfortately, in Zimbabwe I suspect the opposition does not possess the ability or the leadership required to be credible to prevent this.
I'm a bit biased in favour of the Lotus modified GM car as I used to have a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE (Series 3). I had to change cars as the police seemed to love giving me speeding tickets for minor infractions that would pass unnoticed in any other car. [I have to admit the one for 122 mph was a fair cop though:-) ]
The extra weight and better passive safety though are surely a product of the fact its an electric car instead of a petrol one, gaining the extra weight of lots of lithium batteries against the flammability of a large fuel tank. (The Esprit had fuel caps on both sides into a central fuel tank - which was a fantastic feature IMO)
It's about the top speed of a slightly above average saloon car in Europe. For instance a Mondeo 2.0 Tdci is only 5mph slower at 127. On a German Autobahn it will be repeatedly flashed to get out of the way.
I'm amazed that 416hp keeps the speed down so much. Some years ago Lotus (in)famously customised the (GM) Carlton/Omega to output 377BHP with a top speed of about 175 mph. IIRC its about the same size and shape as a Tesla S.
At some point most sites have some contact with a human individual, or the site generates reports on who has and hasn't paid taxes, fines etc. Since the individuals aren't there to react, then it is probably much easier to pull down the whole site than chop down those bits which won't function during the shutdown.
. According to the article, UK security services fear China, Russia and Pakistway have figured out a way to turn mobiles into microphones, and have them transmit even when they're off.
I'd be more worried about the likelihood the NSA is listening in after recent revelations
The US Government is not alone. Screwing up Healthcare IT projects is a worldwide pastime. Even the saintly UK National Health Service has done it.
I get the impression that one problem was rolling it out in all 50 states all at once, when it should have been rolled out across the country over the course of a year, and any problems picked up and solved on the way.
Entirely legal depends on which country you happen to be in when you're spying!
The current spying argument is silly though. Nations have a clear duty to both protect and maximise the benefit to their own citizens. Some people and nations are or may be hostile to others, and it is only natural to want to determine real intentions.
To counterbalance this, I fully accept that no one should make it easy for conversations to be listened to.

I don't work in classified fields, but I've been generally aware that the capability of the US and UK to intercept communications is much greater than was generally known. Any engineer in the communications field inevitably finds this out one way or another and generally keeps his or her mouth shut about it. Snowden didn't reveal anything terribly surprising, he just provided more detail on how it was done.
Henry L Stimpson, the US Secretary of State between World War I and II, said in his autobiography that his attitude was "Gentlemen don't read each other's mail". As a result he shut down the Cipher Bureau, one of the predecessors of the NSA. His mind was only changed on the realisation on how invaluable the codebreaking and message intercepting efforts were to winning World War II.
The problem is that codebreaking and a day to day knowledge of the intentions of other countries and individuals is necessary, even knowledge of the intentions of some of your own citizens. But that that doesn't mean we have to like it. Placing limits on your nations intelligence gathering agency should try to gather is a silly idea. However, that doesn't mean that people should make it easy for them to gather information!
The US is teetering on the brink of loosing its right to be a Reserve currency. If that happens we're all likely to be trading in Renminbi,
I think Congress should change the law so that the fiscal limit is be automatically increased by (say) 5% each year unless a bill is passed for a different amount. That would prevent a party having a chokehold as preventing an increase would need to pass both houses and get presidential approval.

I'm going through awful problems right now trying to get a copy of a 1776 book which was microfilmed ages ago
Just out of curiosity, what book are we talking about here?
The Joy of Revolutionary Sex.

India already is a nuclear power with rocket capability. Going to Mars doesn't tell Pakistan anything new.

That's Python discredited then; lets go back to Perl and C.

SHIELD - now with added Coulson 2.0
NVIDIA Updates SHIELD With Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Console Mode, New Titles
Why can't they update SHIELD with Captain America, Hulk and Thor?

What was the last billion dollar industry that let itself go obsolete?
Slave trading.
It didn't go obselete, it just implemented a different business model.
We can all go back to programming in C/Pascal/Fortran and forget all this OO crap now, can we?

I can't speak for any other type of phone, but replacing the USB connector on most Samsung phones is easily done and costs about $10.
