...but it's not a safe deposit box. It may actually be more like a storage unit or a bus station rental locker. In both cases, the owner of the container and the police can search at will, and you have no expectations of privacy from them. The only reasonable expectation is that the the owners of other lockers won't get your old sweat sox.
Mainframes and large multiprocessor machines have been handling multi-billion row data sets on RDBMS systems for a very long time. Data warehouses are commonly into the billions of rows. What commodity clusters provide is not efficiency--they often make poorer use of available cycles and repeat work to achieve goals.
What large commodity clusters provide is a price per cycle low enough that the owner doesn't have to worry about efficiency. For example, Google's Dean and Ghemawat ("MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters") managed to successfully sort 10^10 100-byte records over 891 seconds, or about 6MB sorted per processor per second. Very fast overall, but hardly efficient use of modern hardware. There's an important place for the new big dataset system, but the argument is cost, not efficiency.

Yeah, I have, and they don't change the fact that exposing information to people that don't need it is just stupid. You can avoid the risks of having your message decrypted or extracted by not exposing it to attack. You can avoid hostile signal analysis by not sending. Often, a recipient doesn't need to know the specific content of a message--just the simple fact that it was sent is useful, potentially damaging information. Ever heard of Tempest? Covert timing channels? Or a combination of both?
Seriously, if you want to keep a secret...

...don't broadcast it. "Secrets on the shortwave band" just seems like an oxymoron.
I first used edlin on DOS 1.0 and was kept using it until better alternatives (norton edit, anyone?) appeared. Edlin makes vi seem like a walk in the park. I've used edlin for assembly and Pascal programming, and I say "curse you!" to anyone who jokes about those dark days.
Doesn't anyone know how to launder money any more? Steal way more money than you need, run it through some partially legitimate business, take part of it as profit from the business, but be able to keep the remaining result in a bank. Crooks these days....
The problem with this sort of "everybody's evil" perspective is that it doesn't provide any constructive guidance. It just drives people toward cynicism and more complaining. OK, neither country is perfect, but what do we do now?
I'm pretty sure that reproducing a government seal as part of a description of the relevant part of the government is the textbook definition of fair use. This isn't counterfeiting, impersonation, or any attempt to fool or misrepresent anyone. It is *helping* people learn to recognize the real FBI. Jeez....
As an advocate of the world's 273rd most influential and popular religion, I stenuously object to your exclusivist support for the "big eight." (Popularity != truth) && (popularity != legitimacy).
Seriously, this looks like a weak rehash of Festinger's (1957) Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, only without the data or depth of study. People change their opinions to suit their convictions, and shown by Festinger's study of the reactions of doomsday cults' reactions to the fact the the world didn't end on the expected date (c.f., "When Propheshy Fails"). Really, what am I missing here?
Look, if you don't like the research, then criticize the methods, findings, or logic. What you've got above is just an ad hominem attack on social scientists.
Does anyone find it odd that the libertarian Tea Party candidate goes running for governement/federal/legal support when she runs into difficulty campaigning?
Leave = move assets to somewhere else.
If was was Google, making what might possibly be a departure statement on April 10, I'd make sure that my critical assets were safe before, say, March 1. I don't want to donate my IP to the Chinese government (or any other, for that matter).
The real question to ponder is why they have to use tiles at all. This isn't monopoly, and it isn't rocket science to figure out if circle overlap or if a resource is within reach...
Just thinking...
Actually, it's hard to say. The lower-priced e-books may have the effect of reducing the price of old dead-tree books. This is bad for publishers, at least until electronic books are the lion's share of the market.
The real question about market share is not Amazon vs. McMillan, it's paper vs. electrons.

"Due to their size, atmospheric drag would slow them down..." No. Because their shape creates drag.

Yes, a wall. And if you listen closely, you can hear the neighbors arguing.
I would bet a small sum that there's a reenactment fan out there somewhere with a collection of these thing, plus a few buggy whips besides.
...I'm suing Fox, NY Times, Washington Post, etc. They've got REAL money.

Also, the implications of 'hot pants' are not so positive....

And it is WAY better than losing 100% to the feds.

And the word 'authentic' in the headline means what, exactly?

The benefits of not being able to see polarized screen content, plus the fashion sense of Drew Carey! A guaranteed winner.

Well, books are just 'tools.' Would you expect them to have any effect on education? If so, then why (or why not) computers?
