The present Dutch government has a habit of handing over suspects to the US without due process, or even in violation of a court decision. (To give you an idea of their level of thinking: They are also the only government on the planet that still maintains that there were WMD's in Iraq). Counting on this paricular European province for protection would be extremely ill-advised.
You seem to assume that not being guilty is somehow going to protect a student from a big company that sees a threat to its bottom line?
You must be new here (on planet Earth, that is).
Bad point. There may well be less things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of. Especially if you consider for instance pre-election rethoric as dreams.
They need to move with the times. Classical crime rates have dropped so much since medieaval times that a whole new list of crimes has to be thought up to keep the enforcers busy. Not stealing imaginary property, smoking in a bar, drinking outside a bar, making juvenile jokes on an airplane...
Astronomers need to use a telescope and understand its operation
I didn't. In 3 years of astronomy study, all data collection and telescope handling was done by professionals. The only optics I handled physically or intellectually was at the basic physics course.
That is one of the great benefits of internet, people have the opportunity to critize, discuss and have some fun without fear of persecution. I suppose you are in favour of bravely writing your name on the ballot every time you vote as well?
It will save lives because thanks to this particular change no cheaper components need to be used in other parts of the vessel to achieve the next round of price cuts.
Are you deliberately misreading this?
If the average discovery rate of bugs in the time interval you *don't* find acceptable (a month according to the Microsoft update cycle, but you may know better) is larger than than the average resolution rate the end result is unacceptable. If that rate is lower, as in your example, there is no need for prioritarization because all bugs are fixed in time anyway.
You mean that Microsoft is too small to maintain their own code?
Who cares about prioritization? If they have a monthly batch of fresh flaws and their don't fix at least as many within a month they are fighting a lost battle anyway.
They build enough security holes in their applications to do meaningful statistics on the monthly number of exploits in the wild.
So, now, do you think that that is not a reason for criticism on their internal software testing?
I disagree, rather than burning of organic matter and dissociating water with an expensive plasma arc they should only run the ashes and smoke filters of a modern incenerator through it (may be as low as 1% of the mass of the waste). They can use the standard facility to generate the power and would have a huge surplus of energy to sell.
claims that 1000 tonnes (metric?) of solid waste produces the energy equivalent of 1 (one) barrel of oil.
That has to be a typo. The energy yield in a standard inceration facility is about 2MJ/kg of household waste. (which is roughly 20 times worse than petrol). The 1000 tonnes of waste should be equivalent to about 600 barrels of oil, or this process is absurdly inefficent.

I think you have just discovered how large corporations and governments have become organized in the last couple of decades.

The problem has been diagnosed by BitDefender, and they can sell you all the peace of mind you ask for.
You need more fibre in your diet?
I have been told "You don't exist, go away!". Perhaps that was no error message.
Right, and what type of life after death would meet your profundity criteria?
Surely not some kind life 2.0 in the sky I hope?

It's funny because it's true?
Don't worry, they'll make a svgalib version specially for the old farts.
When somebody else's achievements sadden you, you may have more problems than only financial ones.

I don't see the contradiction: I would consider the least reliable metric the most secure.
Or are we talking about the security of the bank?

Oh, It isn't really chemistry if it doesn't explode. So here:

Wow, when did that happen?
O wait, it didn't, we're just thinking of the children.
Yes this was known before the 2000 Olympics.

But perhaps we had forgotten it since then.
