I've always been puzzled by the grandiose term "right" when applied to something like healthcare or in this case broadband. I'm taking an ethics class and "right" in this context doesn't mean what we colloquially think it means; it's an academic term. It simply means that a society is making the decision that every citizen will have access to some thing or some service. I have a right to traffic signs and lights on my route to work. I have a right to electrical service so long as I pay for it. If my old school district ever went through with the policy, every high school student would have the right to a laptop.
It has little to do with your inalienable Constitutional rights that are on a higher level. It's a poor choice of words when entering a civic debate when the terminology implies something quite a bit different.
It's like a lot of other scams run on Congressmen. Someone with in depth knowledge pitches a new set of laws to Congress, which is easily blinded by the glare of a $100K campaign donation. It's usually not black-and-white bribery as we all think. It's usually a polished turd. In this case, HFT was supposed to be more efficient, need less man power to run the exchanges, and use the same super duper computers to catch errors. It sounds good and when you're dropping complements, dinners, and donations politicians have a vested interest in believing you.
On top of that, since the exchanges make money on fees every time someone trades, they're happy to see even more and even faster trading occurring. And, if things get bad they figure the good old Free Market will take over and self correct and problems. Seriously. And, if things get REALLY bad they'll just go crying to Uncle Sam to point a gun to the head of anyone who doesn't agree to back out a really bad trade.
Non-player character. Basically the program-driven characters in the game. Usually vendors and quest givers. Back in the old days before all of the battlefields, we'd state impromptu raids on enemy cities and kill NPCs just for the fun of it. Of course, I was so low level I was just a spectator.
Often recurring, but the cascading threads of bad puns or low ID flaunting. Biggest laugh I got was a pun on Boeing wing testing (haven't been able to find it).
And, when they do they're just going to hyper-analyze and bitch about ever little detail trying to make themselves feel smart. Go check out imdb.com forums on any sci-fi movie released in the last 10 years. If I were a Hollywood producer, I sure wouldn't put *my* money up to get one made.
Are you capable of standing still? Can you do it for 5 minutes? Now, pour vegetable oil on the floor and try standing still in that same spot for 5 minutes.
Unless, you're releasing a stable fault to freely move that wouldn't have otherwise. Not something I'd want drillers playing with without real data to know for sure.
I think we all realize bacteria isn't fusing new elements. I recall a middle school teacher telling us there was a fortune in dissolved gold in seawater, just no economically-feasible way to extract it.
Think internationally. The zealots in the Muslim world who are fueling the anti-US outrage over this movie are screaming for this guy to be charged and imprisoned for slighting their faith. Now that he's in jail, they're not going to be concerned with the details. They're only going to see the headlines in much the same way that they don't know the nuances of US freedom of speech. The people who were perceptive enough to understand that what he did isn't a crime in the US were never protesting anyway.

Been a while since I read the novel, but they used other sources for DNA than amber.
No need. He and the rest of the Stones spread more than their share of their DNA around the country from 1965 to present.
You can call that beautiful if you want. Ewww!
I'm not sure why they haven't focused more on that side of the business.
Bruce Wayne Enterprises must be disguising another order for bat capes by buying 10 million units.

The *Earth* will still have the same amount of water, but what about the aquifers or ice melt your city depends on?
Very interesting. I, too, would like to subscribe to the cable TV network you get your news from.
Oh yeah, some people in the US are stupidly large, for no good reason either.
Have you seen my wife?

Wasn't there a massive data loss years back that wiped old archives? Or was that just my aging brain?

Hate to reply to an AC, but "faggot"? What, did you just get banned from CoD for hacking and decide to come troll Slashdot for a while?
You should all feel honored [wails on guitar]!

Or maybe I just watch to many sci-fi movies. Feels like one of those "knowledge man was not yet ready to possess" storylines in the works.

Don't they remember the Inhumanoids; the evil that lies within?
Awww, you guys still mad we copied your country?
