Call the NSA. He is obviously trying to aid the enemy.
He even hid his terrorist training equipment in his son bedroom. What a horrible father. Take his son away! Think of the children!
Of course, it would travel well with a name like 'Voyager'.
It is not like we had called it Phobos-Grunt. I mean, come on, phobos means 'fear' in Greek. And grunt, well, that just does not sound good.
It means that Oracle controls Java on embedded devices. Google can not take Harmony and have it run its Java apps in the next Android OS. Instead, Google has to say Pretty Please to Oracle first, and then buy the binary or source code license from them.
You're both right. Parent is talking about an automatic suspect guesser. GP's talking about an automatic culprit finder. And each of your explanations work well.
But actually, you're both wrong, because none of that should be necessary unless those tools are used by the pre-crime department. We are still innocent until we have committed a crime, right?
It's TSA who is actually wrong. TSA is missing the forest for the tree. The goal is not to prevent potential terrorists from flying; the goal is to prevent planes from being hi-jacked from inside by making it impossible for a passenger to access the pilot cabin and seize control of the plane.
Here are some suggestions:
Have no doors between cabin and passenger area
Have two locked doors between cabin and passenger area, and only open one at a time
Allow pilots to password-lock the controls, with override possible from control tower
You're right, the New York Times motto is "All the US News That's Fit to Print."
Likewise, Slashdot's motto is "US News for Nerds, US stuff that matters".
Your agument does not hold. To prove it, let's replace it with Kernel.org semantics:
"Kernel.org is a US website. Much as Redhat is a US company, no matter how much it sells internationally. Both are publishing Products and annoucements in the US and follow American English standards. To ignore this is to stick your head in the sand.
The problem is that if Kernel.org was as truly international and country-less as some seem to want it to be, it would be useless for most of its developers, be they Americans or otherwise. This is because rather than always posting the patches summary in English and almost always linking to a piece of code with english variables, it would be just as likely it would be in Japanese, French, Russian, German, Italian, Spanish, Finnish, Swedish, Afrikaans, Thai, Cantonese, etc. Since most people only speak one or two languages, all of this would be useless clutter to them and they'd go elsewhere to a site that catered to the languages they do speak."
I don't understand how your arguing makes kernel.org, or slashdot.org, a US web site.
They both decided to use English for a prilimary communication language. But that does not make them US for that.
It is a US website? You must be getting confused with www.slashdot.us I am curious to hear why slashdot.org would possibly be considered a US website. What next? www.kernel.org is a US website?
Excuse me, but it sounds to me that the title is wrong.
If it was to be said to be a 'Scientific Myth', then the thing can indeed not reliably be built because it does not conform to the laws of sciences. It is essentially unscientific.
But if it is said to be an 'Unscientific Myth' (see Title of story), then the thing is essentially not unscientific. Therefore it is plausible and can be built.
You got fooled. His article is not an apology; it is an excuse. He does not show sincere remorse. He refuses to recognize the qualities of the other side: knowledge, expertise, analytical skills. Instead, he excuses himself as being wrong by saying that the "nerds" got lucky in thier amateurish biaised opinion.
On top of that, it is very impolite to excuse yourself. You should (1) ask someone (2) to accept your (3) sincere apologies. If all 3 are done, then there can be forgiveness.
I will not forgive him or forget him until he asks nicely and means it.
Actually, login.live.com is a very bad name.
It is full of L, I and O letters which can be easily replaced by ones and zeroes to create look-a-like URLs.
You are assuming that alien ships would be made solely of matter.
Why couldn't they be made of matter and wielded energy? The wielded energy could then absorb most of the blast -- say 999.9x the Hiroshima blast. Then there would be something of the matter left to look at.
I don't believe in alien theories, but I believe even less in cheap dismissals.

You sound like a potential sociopath. Just as a precaution, can you share with us your Twitter information?
* OMG : Oh My Goatse.
Now that's why I need a Cinema Display so that it can all fit on one line.
Here is another novel idea: why not teach the basis of grammatical analysis and etymology in school instead?
I'll take that with a grain of salt. Thank you.

I think it is mostly unreadable because it was written on a tablet, case closed.
That, or it was written on a laptop, lid closed.

So much for pretending to have the moral high ground.
"Et tu?" is not correct French. "Et toi?" is.
"tu" must always come with a verb.

So, if the 'new' story link is slashdotted, try this one from the 'old' news: http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?cid=4888.

If we knew the answers to those questions, we wouldn't be sitting on Earth wondering about it. Now, would we?
