Battlefield 4's storyline includes a Chinese admiral attempting to overthrow the Chinese government. You're not allowed to suggest those sorts of things.
No, there's nothing *wrong* with the last mile, per se. It does what it is designed to do--channel power from the utility into the house, and it does it efficiently and reliably. It is not designed to accept power flowing *from* the house because when it was designed, this was not seen as a possibility.
I don't think Argentina or South Africa even own an ice breaker.
Then you thought wrong. A few minutes in wikipedia reveals that Argentina does indeed have an ice breaker (and a second that is currently laid up for repairs). South Africa has two. Chile has three, and Australia has one.
Ireland and Italy are both part of the EU single market. I don't know enough EU law to say for sure, but this might get struck down by a European court.
Considering that majority of the people who have read or re-tweeted the post are from Europe or North America it would follow that the majority of outrage would also come from Europe or North America.
Or maybe its just that the majority of twitter users come from Europe or North America.
These types of lessons are important for students to build personal relationships with computer science concepts and applications.
I don't have personal relationships with concepts and applications. I have an intellectual relationship with them. I have personal relationships with people.
There may be some levels of clearance which require citizenship, but they certainly don't *all* require it.
Yes, they do. From the State Department's official FAQ on security clearances: "As outlined in Executive Order 12968, Access to Classified Information, eligibility for access to classified information may only be granted to employees who are United States citizens. "
I've known people with Secret who had only just gotten their Green Card and were years from when they would be eligible for citizenship.
No, you haven't. No non-citizen has a Secret clearance. However, it is possible for a non-citizen to get access to Secret materials. Again, from the State Dept. FAQ: "However, an exception is allowed in specific situations wherein there are compelling reasons for limited access to be granted to an immigrant alien or foreign national employee who possess a special expertise that is needed for specific programs, projects, contracts, licenses, certificates, or grants." Thie access is granted not with a clearance but with a Limited Access Authorization (LAA). These are not a clearance and are rare. They wouldn't be handing them out to interns.
Assuming they have to be US citizens seems unwise.
On the contrary. If you had bothered to follow the links, you would have learned that US citizenship is indeed required to apply for these internships. Nor is this surprising, as US citizenship is required for a security clearance.
Same in the US. However, getting the security clearance transferred is *much* easier than getting one from scratch (which, as someone else noted, can take months). It's especially easier if the clearance is currently active. So it's worthwhile to get one with whomever will get you one and then move to where you really want to be; having a currently active clearance will be a big leg up.
If we mine a shitload of material out of the moon, won't that affect it's gravitational effect on the planet?
I'll keep this simple.
No. Not even close. If we shipped ten times more material than we have mined out of the earth in all of history, it would still be a negligible amount of the Moon's total mass.

Wow, botched grammar *and* completely contradicting itself in one setence! We got a winner here, folks.
Seems to me that a *satisfied* customer would be more dangerous...
Unless, of course, your name is Jarvis and you are a computer.
No, he just does UXXX design. Touch interface, y'know.

"Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"
So they're really in Italy?
Ireland and Italy are both part of the EU single market. I don't know enough EU law to say for sure, but this might get struck down by a European court.

Those aren't the Urban Tribes I learned in history class. Aren't they supposed to be Collina, Esquilina, Palatina and Suburana?
Then perhaps you're a Hyrulean?
And yet nerds who would sooner gargle ground glass than go to a football game don't seem to have any problems with it.

Then we can dig it! And now he really *is* a machine!
A great game, even if they were confused about what year the battle of Midway happened in (and also what planes could operate off of carriers...)
Yes, they do. From the State Department's official FAQ on security clearances: "As outlined in Executive Order 12968, Access to Classified Information, eligibility for access to classified information may only be granted to employees who are United States citizens. "

They don't. There hasn't been a Zero attack since 1945. That's how effective the NSA's program has been!

Why are there humans on earth to be kept alive?
To sum up: If the moon has hit points, we can kill it and take its stuff!
Yep. No better way to ensure that people will want to get there firstest with the mostest.
I've heard of those mechanical one-armed bandits!
