I'm not American, so please explain me, how can the president change healthcare laws and give gays the right to serve in the military? Isn't these things that the congress does and the president only has veto right? (sign it or not sign it)
Just because the DNA (the machine) is Turing equivalent doesn't mean that every organism (the program) is Turing complete.
" then every multicellular organism is a compute cluster, whether it has a nervous system or not.;)"
A bunch of identical cells can just sit next to each other without communicating (see variuos algae), and I wouldn't call that a computational cluster.
Except that your neurons don't use boolean logic. There's a good reason why humans are really bad at numerical computation.
Also, in the article they're using DNA, not neurons. The funny thing is that the DNA much more resembles the classic Turing machine than any practical computer ever built.
"Islamic tradition holds that it fell from Heaven to show Adam and Eve where to build an altar. Although it has often been described as a meteorite, this hypothesis is now uncertain.[2]"

I don't know, Slashdot was all over the iPhone too. I had to make a filter rule for Apple because there were at least two articles of the daily (either iPhone or iPad).
With a few tiny marginal exceptions, there has never been an 'agricultural commons'.... I could give you a whole lecture on feudalism and how the ages of exploration and enlightenment laid the political theoretical foundations for the sea change in civic life enabled by the industrial revolution.
You better not, because you're not qualified to do so.
"Originally in medieval England the common was an integral part of the manor, and was thus legally part of the estate in land owned by the lord of the manor, but over which certain classes of manorial tenants and others held certain rights. By extension, the term "commons" has come to be applied to other resources which a community has rights or access to. "

I imagine that training with an UAV simulator is much closer to reality than training with the simulator of a manned aircraft.
You can argue that content is overpriced (compared to what?), but it still costs money to produce. All the hacktivism in the world won't change that.
Is it possible for two different persons to mine the same coin independently from each other?

Who will convert bitcoins to USD without fees?
Because they can. The fact that you're enrolling in an online course means you're probably working, so you have more money than the regular students.
You can watch videos while you commute on mass transportation. Although it's a bit expensive for that.
As an added bonus, it would provide the lockdown too!
It's only present if you have high enough karma. Not that it's that hard to achieve.
Then the user uses the browser to download the native application and installs the virus on his computer.
And you've already got Unity and Flash plugin for that.

If they were to add scripting to the Linux kernel, it would actually make it easier to write proprietary drivers, so they'd never go for that.
It's pretty hard to write something closed source in a scripting language. (And I don't mean the licensing here. )
I would be happier if the major window managers supported Lua. I'm not sure I would want to mess with device drivers.
Don't be so nitpicky, it was obviously intended to be "slippery soap".
Also Emacs has very good Prolog mode that communicates directly with the Prolog debugger so you can do line by line execution, watch variables, etc.

Another fun trivia:

Powershell is part of Windows since Windows 7.

Because it's a spelling checker not a grammar checker.
