As I understand it, SOPA will only apply to non-US-controlled domains; those which ICE et al can't just seize. So.com and.net would be safe from SOPA (Verisign is a US company), but others like.org,.se,.uk,.tv would not be so excluded.
Ha-ha-ha -ha, Whew that's good. Next you'll say the Patriot Act is about fighting terrorism.
Even in the tightly constrained world of mathematics it is difficult to prove a negative. Look at FLT "there is no solution in integers to the equation a^N + b^N = c^N". Many people over the years including Wiles incorrectly thought they had proved this. Wiles finally did it in 1994. In the unbounded general world it is much more difficult.
Seems like there should be plug-in timers for turning off pop/imap when you don't want to be bothered. I've read that to be efficient you should download and check your email no more than a couple of times per day. Have time set aside 1st thing in am, noon, and late afternoon to read and deal with it, and don't let it pop up, speak or distract you the rest of the day.
One of the National Labs was using a parallel array of fast tape, I think LTO, to get decent speed (1 GBPS or so) and decent capacity (10TB). Good for recording all the data from one experiment.
The reason they are preventing you from rooting has nothing to do with whether you do something stupid to the device and post nasty comments on the net. As you point out, nobody cares what you do to a laptop or desktop. The only reason they want to prevent root access is so their content isn't copied. They make all of their money selling books, apps, etc. This is why the Microsoft eBook Reader app failed. No publisher wants to put their content on a PC, they will only put it on a closed device.
Well, only so much. For example, police brutality at Occupy protests was documented by multiple angles every time, because most everybody has a camera phone. How can an authoritarian PD wiggle out of that?
Many states have moved toward making it illegal to take pictures of police beating up citizens because it violates the citizen's privacy.
Great plan! We have large quantities of a gas that causes global warming. So then you burn it an end up huge amounts of extra warm and a gas that causes a bit less warming.
methane absorbs 20 times as much IR as the water and CO2 that would result from burning it, so its probably a net win to burn it.
Reusing the external tank gives you a shell but none of the guts. You still need power, insulation, temperature control, air purification and furnishings to make it habitable. All of this would have to be installed in space in zero-G. Its not obviously cheaper than constructing equivalent modules on the ground and putting them in orbit using one or more launches.
About 500 people are killed per year by police in the US (1540 in range 2003-2006) About 15,000 people are murdered each year, the majority by guns. About 50 are executed by the courts, so you might want to be paranoid about judges as well (although now the executive branch is also getting into the act, but they aren't publishing statistics).
Its interesting that you pinpoint education as a critical requirement for rebuilding. According to the web, foreign aid has helped start or rebuild over 6000 schools since the US invasion; and the Taliban has targeted and destroyed at least several hundred. This seems to be understood by both sides as a key component for the country's future. The schools would be more at risk if the US pulled out of Afghanistan.

That's precisely what I do. The default exception handling routine sends an email to me with the app, version, username, machine id, error description, call stack, and any useful data that that I saw fit to include while coding. It has saved me mountains of pain over the years, and also fuels my reputation as the all-seeing eye.
I do much the same but include credit card information, mother's maiden name and social security number.
If you're smart enough to know how to develop an app aren't you smart enough to know what data & how to collect it? I really wonder how the questioner earns their wage if they can't manage a simple a task as bug capture.
Easy. Every time you have a problem, just post on/. or StackOverflow and someone fixes it for you.
...or listening to the radio, needing to use the bathroom, or being an asshole in the near vicinity of a car. Of course, this -really- punishes those who have always used hands-free technologies, used their phones responsibly, and drive safely every day. They HAVE to be a problem - because the NTSB says so...
Do you have any evidence that using hands-free phones is safer than handheld? Studies say it is not.

TSA. Keeping you safe from terrorists like this one:

"they"? Set up a website that links the videos and has self-paced units and automated tests. Then start handing out degrees.
"The Paper" would have been a good movie except for the extended Coke product placement which pretty much ruined it.
Thanks for clearing that up. For a minute I wasn't sure what he was talking about.

Genetic engineering doesn't splice food with animals either. Try and find a reliable source for your idiotic hysteria.
I guess it must be idiotic to proofread also. Did you mean "splice plants with animals"?
Here's the likely first GM animal to be food:

It's rather aether to define.

Start Trek II seems more appropriate.

No. Just nothing will move.
