How dare anyone question the simplicity, beauty and elegance that is the Standard Model? Next thing you know, they'll be saying that our list of emperical observations and exquisitely inter-balanced fudge factors (to 17 decimal places) doesn't contain any first principles! Blasphemy!
Kind of like how the angle of "down" varies based on the slope of the ground you're standing on? Nah. If the Standard Model says it, it must be right. Expect a huge backlash from this paper.
You are correct that we are stuck with this forever, because the Republicans will pillory on the nightly news anyone foolish enough to suggest that we *shouldn't* live in a "show us your papers" society, and would also do their patented "hold my breath until I turn blue" act should a bill actually be introduced.
HTC and Samsung don't know how many phones they sell until months after they ship, because that's how their distribution channel wworks. Apple DOES know how many they sell, because they sell directly to consumers.
The Soyuz booster "blowed up real good" on the last launch. The booster itself has been in use for years and years. This launch merely confirms that they know (and have fixed) what went wrong last time.
The (tiny) community of professional astronomers can't agree on where to point their instruments, and for how long, how is a telescope which can be aimed by any idiot with a browser going to do anything but thrash?
'My staff yesterday told me that one of our leading Internet companies, Amazon, is going to create their own server and their own system and they're going to force everybody that uses Amazon to go through their server and they're going to collect all this information on each person who does that without that person's knowledge. Enough is enough.'
Translation for those who don't speak Congress-critter or those who live in other countries:
"One of Amazon's competitors has decided to donate to my re-election campaign. A study group our pollster ran shows that we might get some TV time bitching about 'privacy concerns' hahahaha."
If you want to do that (at that price), just buy a NookColor and be done with it. At least BN isn't being obstructionist about it the way Amazon will be.
And of course, anyone who's ever been near manufacturing knows that the manufactured cost per unit for the pilot run is the same as it will be after you've refined your processes and established blanket POs with all your vendors./sarcasm
And yet the PLC manufacturers themselves specifically disclaim using them in elevators or medical equipment, or other places where lives could be lost.
It is also good that law enforcement officers can keep an eye on people that have associated with known terrorist groups, even if those people haven't actually committed a crime.
I think Kevin Bacon linked to Al Qaeda nicely sums up the problem there. Particularly if the "linking" is done in secret, without any rules of evidence.
IBM told you to take your $300 million project somewhere else? If that doesn't say VOLUMES about your project management/specification process, I don't know what does.

Lucky thing it's not a spelling test.
He submitted it to /. knowing he makes money from page hits. "coondoggie" over at Network World is another Roland Piquapaille wannabe too.
That's like asking "Why would I want a vehicle I can't tow a boat with?" Answer: lots of reasons; not everyone wants or needs to tow a boat.
You can think of it as "Wonder Twin powers: Activate!" if that makes you feel better.

See if you can spot the "In Soviet Russia, (thing is backwards/reversed)" pattern in my previous post.
In Soviet Russia, Unity is usable!
Google is buying Motorola Mobile for its tax-loss carry forwards, not for its patent portfolio.

Because "Microsoft ghetto" was judged to be too uncomfortably close to the truth.

Nah; Skype will just become the next Visio.
Yeah, I can see how this is going to make my life easier:
"page up, page up, down, down, down, shift o, slash splat quot FIXME -- who wrote this shit ques ques splat slash quot CR escape"
Isn't XBox still being sold at a loss?

Remember: when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a skull.

Well, in fairness, they did add an evil bit(TM) to the flags register. Unfortunately, in Oracle's case, "jump on evil" is an unconditional branch.
