Maybe it's because Christian parents know that with religion you can bullshit people into giving you money or show compassion when a material society doesn't. In a society with a poor social system, having people resort to religion is only expected. It happened to the Romans. They were so much into their material, territorial, and money (salt) possessions that the majority of the people resorted to Christianity as their social acceptance. As in Rome, the leadership of the USA has to buy into religion and feed it back to people to maintain their business which is based on popularity.
Why two cameras? At the speed the satellite has to orbit, they could take pictures from two angles by taking the second snapshot after moving the satellite 10.8 km without really having to worry about distortion due to moved objects. Terrain is never really moving anyways.
Here are the federal extortion laws. Wouldn't the FBI get involved if there is proof of extortion? Can't the attackers be caught easily when trying to cash in?
IT people know that technology will be obsolete in a short time but most business people always see technology as flashy cost reducers and they never plan on retiring the systems from the get-go. It's an annoyance but it is not suprising in an industry where duct taping old systems is preferred over structural improvements through architecture.
There is a Outer Limits or Twilight Zone episode where convicted criminals are made to wear a mark on their forehead and it is illegal for anyone to talk to them. It is pretty creepy.
What is so interesting about craters? I don't remember what craters on earth hold that is interesting when trying to explore this planet. Why isn't NASA looking in canyons, or on mountains which contain caves, or even in those spots which seem to have once held rivers or other bodies of water?
Kind of like all those file-sharers. File sharing is a mafia, communist, Saddam, and terrorist conspiracy. Hopefully Patriot Act #2 will stop their acts of terrorism by putting the MPAA and the RIAA in control of everything.

"Doesn't our government exist to serve the general public?"
The general public is the government. Some will help everything move forward for the sake of everything going forward, and some will move things forward only if it makes them better then everyone else.
When do we draw the line between normal computer use and invasion of privacy?
When someone either makes me give information or try to ask for my information at their convenience. If I want to give someone information, they'll hear from me. None of this "Would you like to send us information now? We think it's the right time for you to give us information." or getting information about me behind my back bullshit.
Why is the size of atoms a limitation to the computational speed?
There are many different bottlenecks in a system besides the main CPU and even for the CPU there are sub-atomic particles that can make a difference. For example photons have many possible quantum states which span through dimensions we don't even understand yet.
I believe that the law that he is speaking of fails in the Newtonian physics arena but there is a lot more to information processing. Look at a human brain for example. Do you think that the human brain is slower then the speed of a CPU in 3 years from now?
Ever thought that maybe Moore has something to do with why CPUs don't get faster quicker? The industry is clocked at the speed defined by Moore's law. Overclockers have proved again and again that Moore's law is not really a law but a rule of thumb.

That's a little hard when you have 30 minutes lag on your commands and feedback.

When posting about splitting and fusing sub-atomic particles please don't forget the obligatory: DON'T PANIC!
"So sad, I wonder if there was another reason for arresting this man?"
Propaganda.

It's OK if it's small. There are pumps that can make the horn longer. I can forward some e-mails to anyone interested.

I wonder how much they profited. The fine for the top music industry companies was about $143 million but due to price fixing consumers were overcharged $480 million. That's a profit of about $337 million.
Please don't add an image to urbandictionary.com for this definition.
It doesn't specify life on other planets but it makes mention of a UFO as the very bright star that was seen around the birth of Jesus.
The infinite possible interpretations of the bible mixed with proof of live on other planets could generate many new Christian religions.
If you're so afraid it of its security vulnerabilities you can always uninstall FireFox. Can you do that with IE?
Anyone knows that the best defense is an offense.
Some organizations like the RIAA just think that they are above the law and nothing can touch them.
Check out who was there.
You're right but it's the computing power (speed) per dollar cost why the transistor density is important when focusing on practical applications.

They must know a lot about cyberspace. It seems like they were able to travel back to building something that was cool in the 80s.
Or maybe they are just stuck in the 80s.
My roommate is dating a penetration tester from my work. You should have seen the look on her face when he told her what he does for a living.
How did someone come up with this name for a profession anyways?
By the time something like this will be on the market their patent will expire.
Will this patent cripple research on such a device by companies other then Sony?
