Ah, but he must be one of those people who think the earth is ~5000 years old. Therefore, anything out of sync with the last few thousand years is unnatural.
Opera turbo uses compression via opera's servers. Amazon's thing uses amazon's servers to render. With opera the point is to get around a slow connection on the consumer's side. Amazon's point is to do the render processing on amazon's side. Let's take an annoyingly busy website, for example: http://home.sina.com/ Now this beast can take a while to download and get ready, especially on a low power handheld thing like a tablet. Amazon's silk method should prep all those parts for the displaying device.
?? WTF - "all human endeavor"? "the journey is more important than the final destination"? This a larger scale equivalent of rolling three dice on the theory that eventually you'll get 6-6-6 and being excited that it actually happens. If this is your idea of human endeavor and an important journey of discovery, wow - you sure live a sheltered life!
We spend over $1 TRILLION a year, probably over $1.5T, on military/intel.
At least by putting 'probably' you are kind enough to alert the astute reader that you're pulling this number out of your butt. There's this amazing thing called the internet that lets one check the figures at the CBO and OMB directly. OMB puts 2010 actual defense at 510B and defense intelligence at 130B.
It would make far more sense to eliminate the many MORE TRILLIONS (is it really more effective in all caps?) wasted by Social Security, Medicare, Medicare and the Depts of Education/Labor/Agriculture/Energy/Health and Human Services/Housing and Urban Development since all of those are a heck of a lot more than military spending and none of the federal government's business in the first place.
It would take a heck of a lot of arrows to make enough holes for it to come down in at an alarming rate and one assumes a fireproof material wouldn't be that hard to use in construction.
As an anti-terrorism bonus, running one of these into a building would just crumple the nose a bit and make people watching on the ground snicker.
Marx ( Smith, Malthus, Mill, Keynes,...) didn't write about organizing mice or chickens. That they grossly misunderstood the core of their subject, people.
There are two categories in your list of people: 1. Smith, who wrote about his observations of people and their economic interactions and 2. All the others, who wrote partly about what they observed but also theorized how government could "improve" economic interactions.
Whoa, take it easy there, killer... "Congress has the power to establish post offices" is not the same as "Congress is required to have a post office government agency running a huge deficit that can't be questioned".
People who get immunized have nothing to worry about, in theory
Sorry, this is the most common misconception. Immunization makes it so the random one at a time virus wandering by naturally doesn't get a foothold in your system. But if you're exposed to an environment with a full on plague going then an immunization just gives you better odds; it isn't any guarantee. This is why everyone needs to be immunized, even the paranoid, so the non-immunized don't incubate and spread enough viruses to infect even the immunized.
Then why would you make another run at a loss after you were sold out?
Couple of potential reasons that aren't completely stupid: 1: Stockpile of unassembled / partly assembled components that they couldn't find some other company to buy in the last couple of weeks. and 2: Expensive to exit contract(s) with one or more companies at some levels of the manufacturing layers (component suppliers, final assembly provider).
So my question to Kevin Mitnick: Can you compromise a brand new PC running updated Windows 7 and a decent antivirus?
I am nearly 100% positive you can't even come close.
You'd be incorrect, but not through any fault of Windows 7. The majority of how he hacked into systems was something like:
Receptionist at small branch office: Hi person in a suit, how can I help you? KM: Hi I'm the VP of Finance, who you've never met but you'll be intimidated by the title, the helpdesk guys gave me a new laptop just before I left and I forgot how to log in to the corporate network, can you help me? Receptionist: Oh, yes, anything you want to know, I'll tell you KM: Thanks! Now enter the following commands on your computer...
An attacker could cool the RAM, remove it from the running machine, place it in a second machine and boot from that instead
Half of my netbook's memory isn't removable and if the author is actually worried about this kind of thing he can get a similar model and bite the bullet on performance by operating it with only the internal ram. I doubt the residual charge would last through unsoldering the chips and attaching them to a board to be put in another machine.
What is being argued is that Cisco was *aware* of the purpose that their technology was to be used for, and still went along with the deal to make a profit.
Yes and even if they were that's an issue for Cisco's management, board of directors, shareholders and even their other customers. If you want a different government to order the company not to do business with another government then isn't that just as totalitarian in its own way?
What gets me is that Cisco is doing business with the Chinese government while said government's officials take bribes to look the other way while local factories crank out blatant pirate versions of Cisco's equipment on the night shift.
You've gone to a lot of trouble to format that response but not much into reading even the summary. There were 6 of these stars found within 40 light years. One of the six is at a close enough distance to place it 7th closest. You see, within 40 means that one was at 40 and the rest were less than 40. It would be pretty creepy if there were 6 nearly invisible stars neatly arranged around us at exactly 40 light years.

If it's any consolation, cell phones work the same way in China; call recipient is docked minutes as well as the caller.

Is that site slashdotted or something? I get a page not found error.

Cool? Success is a forgone conclusion and the results were written over a hundred years ago. Cool would be to have this system write something new.

Maaaaybe one of the reasons is that we don't spend half our GDP on military.
Half of GDP on the military? Are you replying to a North Korean?
This article is about the USA's budgetary woes, and the US doesn't even spend 5%, never mind 50%.
Then I realized the solution. Make the USPTO repay the license fees.
??? The USTPO charges all its extra expenses not covered by fees to the taxpayers. Your idea == bad.

I'm sure we can stick another billion people up there. If some die, well, more food and fuel for the survivors.
Don't worry, the Chinese are moving there as fast as they can get visas. See the fourth and fifth charts here.
I'd say Reaganite morons have done a lot to actively sabotage our postal service, because despite the fact that its existence is enumerated right the fuck there in the Constitution
Whoa, take it easy there, killer... "Congress has the power to establish post offices" is not the same as "Congress is required to have a post office government agency running a huge deficit that can't be questioned".
WTF - I'd have a great time pursuing my fun time hobbies all day if I could "work" while asleep at night and pull down six figures.

Closest, yes. Coldest? Maybe - but what if they're inside Dyson spheres and just not radiating much to the outside universe?
but then an exec said "This building was built for this stuff, go back to your desks."
Well better luck next time; there should be a hurricane coming by later in the week.
No, WHY did it make slashdot - we had a 5.*9* in Colorado last night and no news about that.
Still, I'm waiting for the 6.0 in Texas tomorrow, because, you know, everything in Texas is bigger.
Never mind all that reasonably safe stuff - it's the airline pilots who should be of more concern.
