Am I the only one who thinks that these popups which state "we're using cookies" is highly annoying?
Almost everyone apart from your aged grannie knows that you are tracked on sites by use of cookies, so what is the point of this bureaucratic nonsense? It's almost like a secret plot; a small step to making the net unusable.
If you really want to ban something, block sites from opening 3rd party poker/porn sessions in windows behind your current window, not that such things happen to me of course.....
Double jeopardy applies only to criminal cases, and nothing is said in the constitution about jurisdiction - he's still been tried on the same charge for the same actions. I'm fairly certain that any conviction would be overturned
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Nothing about jurisdiction in there, is there? Even the fact that the court overturned the trial verdict does not mean the trial never occurred. Sergey Aleynikov may have performed dubious actions and got off due to the techicalities of the law, but that should be sufficient.
Another big point missed in the movie is that the Space Shuttle is only capable of going to Low Earth Orbit. Bruce Willis wouldn't have even been able to get the bomb there even if it was big enough.
Umm no, for one thing they weren't Space Shuttles - they were a sort of Space Shuttle Mk2. Secondly they went to a Russian space station in LEO and refuelled. Once they've got out of Earths gravity, a small amount of fuel will get you lots of delta v.
Umm, because of European Arrest Warrant rules, he can't be extradited to a third country without the approval of the original country from which he was extradited. Given that this conspiracy theory has been floating around for ages and the number of years it has taken to get the UK Supreme Court to give their blessing to sending him on his way to Sweden, the UK Supreme Court would be highly likely to regard any attempt by the UK to approve his extradition to the USA as evidence that Assange was right all along and swiftly regard it as unlawful.
Walk over Iranian border with virus laden USB key, plug into Iranian Internet and reinfect at will. Has the added benefit that Iranian intranet, being reasonably isolated from the outside world, won't infect computers on the real internet as often.
...that most IT companies have led the way on gay rights.
OK, Microsoft was a little slower than a few off the blocks, but in general I think that IT corporations should be proud of their lead in this issue, and MS should be applauded for being among them.
Still won't stop me loading up Linux instead though...
You mean imperial to metric right? Because I have project plans for various things that actually read 13.5 inches which would be a decimal unit.
Yes, I agree it's a decimal unit, but people don't often use Imperial measurements in a truly decimal context - they're more often used in a binary sort of way
To take 13.5 inches, it's more often viewed as 13 1/2 inches and you're more likely to measure subdivisions in terms of quarters, 8ths, 16ths etc. People don't often use 0.1, 0.2...etc That's not saying it isn't used, just that it is rare. Imperial/ US measurements are more just not used in the same way.
Some people don't seem to have taken my original comment kindly, but it even happens to metric users *cough*beagle*cough*
Why shouldn't scientists have a substantial prize system? For Mathematicians there's the Abel prize (about $1 million), the Millenium Prize for solving difficult problems and for others the Holberg prize (about $600k). Only winning the Fields Medal in maths seems to be a tightwad award ($15000)
It can be argued that a large award would avoid the need for someone to worry about money and free him to concentrate on his work (whenever he has 5 free minutes away from the yacht and hookers, that is).

No actually it has caused a severe degradation of Craigslist because those adverts are being bombed into the other sections.

You should take up website or database related programming for a rest then! :-P

And fiber lasts a hell of a lot longer than copper. I don't know of any ILEC *not* replacing their copper with fiber when the copper gets to EOL.
Or when some metal thieves can't find enough scrap metal above ground.

Looking through the Mars Express cameras at the smear of wreckage on the ground as another imperial to decimal units calculation goes astray!

There are quite a few more than 7 billion. You forgot birds, kangaroos, and I probably forgot even more.
Which part of "at least" did you miss? There is a reasonable estimate for humans; birds, kangaroos, monkeys etc don't get counted regularly
by this time, we will have run out of carbon too..
There are at least 7 billion sources of carbon at the moment, and that's just the bipedal ones.
