You only need to rad-harden critical systems. The SPHERES are one step up from toys as far as the actual operation of the station goes. If their OS crashes, you reboot, no big deal.
It's the Patriot Act which "isn't worth the paper it's written on" - or is it The Constitution that isn't worth the parchment it's written on - since the Patriot Act?
entabiliweb had noticed that his name had been erased from the record "Micropayment" on Wikipedia. L'entrée donnait une liste de sites Internet où cette activité est disponible. The entry gave a list of websites where this activity is available. Or, Rentabiliweb s'est aperçu que le 9 juillet 2008 , la référence à son site avait disparu. Dans l'historique des versions , elle ausculte les IP et remontent jusqu'à Hi-Media qu'elle accuse alors d'avoir tenté de lui nuire. But Rentabiliweb realized that July 9, 2008 , the reference to his site had disappeared. In the version history , it auscultates IPs and go back to Hi-Media accuses it of trying to harm.
I think Google Translate auscultates it perfectly cromulently, what's your question?
And in the end, it really doesn't matter, publicly traded corporations are by definition amoral, sociopathic, profit-only-seeking entities. Because, of course, if they WEREN'T, they "could be" sued by their shareholders for not being amorally sociopathic enough. So the greedy assholes at the top of the corporation have all the moral cover they need to do anything they want which isn't demonstrably illegal - because if they don't do it, someone else (another amoral sociopathic corporation) will. The only place the kind of managerial hand-wringing you're suggesting comes into play is in puff-piece business interview journalism, one step removed from a press release. Here in the States, we've created a society where the only first-class citizens (the corporations and the very wealthy) are by definition sociopaths.
Thanks for the link. It's got to be the only time on record - ever - really EVER - where Michio Kaku has said something completely and utterly forehead-smackingly, drool-inducingly ridiculous, laughably scientifically dishonest and hyperbolically absurd. Usually every word that comes out of his mouth is so balanced, well-informed, rigorously thought-out, carefully argued, and of course, completely and utterly plausible.
I too, generally laugh at conspiracy theories, however, when they involve J. Edgar Hoover spying on somebody/anybody, well, that's just common sense^Wknowledge.
[Hemingway] 'had stood his ground against charging water buffaloes, who had flown missions over Germany, who had refused to accept the prevailing style of writing but, enduring rejection and poverty, had insisted on writing in his own unique way, this man, my deepest friend, was afraid — afraid that the FBI was after him, that his body was disintegrating, that his friends had turned on him, that living was no longer an option.'
Most of Hemingway's paragraphs didn't contain that many different thoughts.
I didn't say you were paranoid, you must have imagined that. Seriously, I've heard some crazy, clueless, paranoid, delusional ramblings in my time, but yours is one of the most pathetically comical. Tell the truth, did Sarah Palin tell you to think this? Or was it Glenn Beck?
Actually, what they (Church and Jacobsen) are proposing, long term, is to create bacteria/cells/whatever that use a different DNA coding -- meaning they wouldn't be able to exchange DNA with anything that uses "natural" DNA coding, meaning anything already alive, even viruses. Basically a built-in firewall to prevent cross-contamination in either direction. Pretty ingenious, really. If you look at the "Changing the genetic code" diagram here you'll get the idea. Of course, I suspect we'd find that we'd soon get new viruses that also used this new coding, and contaminated these new cell lines.
Thanks for adding the humor-impaired viewpoint. As if everyone with an IQ above room temperature didn't already know that the whole gay/gerbil thing was a Jerry Fallwell lie to begin with. And no, the joke wasn't homophobic, it was simply funny. Period.
I sometimes volunteer for a pet rescue organization, and also hang out with many people who spend way too much time doing same; also, my daughter works for a vet and is studying to become one, so I've got more than a little hearsay evidence in this area.
I can tell you the problem isn't ALL the evil pet sellers, it's the large chain stores (PETCO & PetSmart) who are the real problem, and the mall-based chains (Furry Babies) are even worse. They buy from breeders from all over (think rural Kentucky) based on one thing - cost. Sure, local demographics and the latest Disney movie affect which animals/breeds are most popular, but cost is the end-all. They're not interested in the animal's health or well-being, they just want a low unit-cost. With your new pet you get a coupon for a free (or reduced) exam and initial shots to a local vet they've arm-twisted with a promise of increased volume and the age-old argument "if you don't do it, someone else will". If the new pet dies from genetic or other health reasons inside of 90 days, you get a replacement, same as with a factory defect in a manufactured item.
So you can see the incredible unrelenting pressure this puts on the breeders to spare no expense to produce a healthy, happy animal./sarcasm

Or like the floating torture-droids Vader used on Lea in Episode IV.

Since solar-caused skin cancer kills more people every year than leaks from nuclear energy plants does.
This is why I won't have anything to do with Mono. Or Wine, for that matter.

I see what you did there -- you forgot to close the parenthesis :)

You're not sure if I'm being sarcastic or not? Really?
Kaku is a hack and an attention whore. He'll say anything if it gets him more screen time.

Are you really saying that Planned Parenthood is some kind of anti-non-white organization?
No no no. That's not eugenics, that's economics.

Ouch. I'm afraid "Richard Stallman" and "sensible people" are disjoint sets.
This means the NSA won't have hardware versions of this running until next Tuesday.

They're going to outlaw gerbil sales in San Francisco?
I'm amazed we weren't expected to pay money to read the opinion piece at Nature.
That's just how futuristic this article is. It allows people to see movies even before they're released.
What if I use an acoustic coupler for my cellphone?
So I could DOUBLE my speed with a 110 baud modem?
