You cannot hold a firm accountable for an action that is both allowed and standard practice. Your solution to penalize a firm engaging in this make as much sense as punishing a butterfly because it 'caused' a thunderstorm.
A stop-loss order is an automated trading order, and the very reason why the flash crash was a problem. Should we ban these and go with market orders only?
And honestly, if you're a trader, a stop-loss is always a bad idea. Buy put options instead, 100% resistant against flash crashes and vicious market makers.
Next to relinking, you also must allow your user to debug the LGPL software, in particular when linked against your binaries. This effectively means allowing reverse engineering of your binaries, getting ird of all code that detects debuggers in your program and removing all clauses that disallow reverse engineering from your license or eula. Even though reverse engineering is already a right in Europe, it is not so in the US, hence most software companies will not allow the use of LGPL libraries.
If you don't care about speed, I would suggest to get rid of harddisk and put your servers to read/write from tape. Much more economical, I'm sure your boss/customer would love you.
Interesting link, indeed. I really loved the guy that wanted to apply Moore's law to processor speed and was expecting to reach 128 Ghz very quickly. Fact of the matter is that, with the current speed of light, a 10 Ghz clock-speed means that a signal could only travel an inch in a single clock tick. Now remember that the 'clock' in this clockspeed is the mechanism in which all the transistors on a chip are synchronized, and you might see a tiny problem with a 128 Ghz clockspeed (in that the entire die would need to be very small.)
Spoken as a true fundie. Government makes everything worse. If something is an obvious consequence of a laissez-fair ideology, this cannot be the case, and as there always was a government, they're there to take the blame.
I'm sorry dude, you should try to do some economics 101 at some point. Maybe start with Adam Smith and not Ayn Rand.
Yes, economies that depend on cheap oil are going to be wrecked. Luckily it's only the US that gambled its future on the perpetual availability of cheap oil, so all others will adapt and get along fine (current gas price in the Netherlands is 1.4 euro per litre = 7 dollars a gallon. Not wrecked yet.).
How did you know that ACID could scale? Given three data centres each in a different continent, and a query on three (parts of) tables, each located in one of these three data centres, how can you make sure that the result in Atomic, Consistent, Isolated and Durable, all in finite time? This is far from a trivial problem, especially in the real world situation that a network can be unavailable for minutes at a time.
Amazon tried to solve this with the concept of 'eventual consistency' (relaxing the C in ACID). These guys seem to be able to do this transactionally. You seem to claim that this is a non-issue and that it's the parsing of SQL that is the real bottleneck. You sure seem to know what you are talking about.
Really, if you need to describe your process in such excruciating detail, you might want to hire something called a computer to execute it, not a human. Computers are great stuff, you write your commands in some pseudo natural language (no screenshots necessary!) and you will have something called an interpreter or even a compiler that can translate it to computerese. It will run itself! Furthermore, there are tools that allow you to examine why stuff was not going as planned, called debuggers, and it will allow you to log anything you want.
It's really cool stuff these new-fangled computers. You might be surprised by the number of people you no longer need if you trust your sacred process and procedure to these things.
Ah the law of the excluded middle rears its ugly head. No, according to this logic, this is not the case. What this means is that not having proof for one proposition, does not logically mean that you have a proof for its negation.
Your case is not rested. It might have taken a nap, but could still use some sleep.
Yes, you are right. The American empire (called Pax Americana) does span the entire world, and only recently countries such as Russia, China, Brazil, but not India, are trying to get out of the yoke. In the case of China, it is succeeding.
Iraq tried to sell oil in Euros in 2000. Iran is selling oil in non-US currencies since Feb 2008. You might want to correlate the US war rhetoric against these dates.
Ah, okay. You're of the school that thinks that a free market is something that is created through strict government regulation to ensure that the marketplace remains competitive, not the branch of free-marketism that thinks that only deregulation can create freedom. It's always difficult to figure out who one is talking to, as they're are equally frequent (and, oddly enough, often present in the same person). To avoid the confusion, I prefer to speak of a competitive market, and leave the term free market to the fundies.
So yes, there can be more wolves if the existing wolves are kept in check by a committee of sheep that will demand fair play amongst wolves. In the absence of such a committee of elected sheep, my story holds.
The US empire doesn't tax, they buy resources in their own currency (of which they are the only ones free to print copies of). That's close to how the Dutch empire worked. Everything in the name of trade.
Who belongs to the American Empire? Everyone involved in Pax Americana. That means the entirety of the Nato, so that's the EU, all countries wanting to be part of the Nato, that's Europe except Belarus and Russia itself, Canada, Japan, South Korea, and Australia.
You would probably call this a network of allies, yet in history it will be known as the American empire, as it was the 'leader of the free world', elected only by American citizens, that set policy.
Very good, that's why in most western European countries we have codified it as "Freedom of expressing one's opinion' instead of 'freedom of speech'. Saves quite a bit of pointless discussion. What a few words can do...
In what currency is oil traded? Right, USD. Since the US became bankrupt (this happened early seventies), the printing press has run non-stop, giving the US almost free oil. No other country but the US can print dollars, that is where being the empire pays off.
What do taxation have to do with being an empire? The only thing that needs to be done is that the countries taken over by the empire are not sovereign. Germany is constitutionally restrained from attempting a war of aggression and has signed a treaty that they will not attempt to create nuclear weapons. Until very recently, Japan was not allowed to have a standing army, and also they are not allowed to have nukes. Oh sorry, they decided themselves that they neither wanted a standing army or nukes. Right.
Uhm. Okay. I though it was designed to be a coffee table internet machine that could be used to browse the web, write emails, show photo's to friends and to play solitaire. I.e., a replacement for 90% of a PC for 90% of the people.
Mr. Assange definitely has responsibility in making this information public and every death that may result by this should be investigated to see if it can be attributed to him and/or his organisation. Given the sloppiness of the military storing this information, it will be tough to make this stick beyond a reasonable doubt.
But surely, any errors he makes in this that would kill people he should be really ashamed off, and he should deeply investigate if he's not making the same mistakes as his opponent, calling the results of his fuckups collateral damage and be done with it.

The article is about a single chip with 48 cores, not about 48 chips with one core. These have been there forever. There is a difference.
This is a gratuitous riposte on the contentless comment, comparing the poster to a gnat.
Fair point, NetBeans is even worse.

1) Topple regime
2) ?
3) Done
And for Afghanistan:
1) overthrow the Taliban
2) bring various members of Al Quaeda (including OBL) to justice^W Guantanamo
3) ?
4) Done
So yes, all goals up to the dreaded question mark are met. It's the pesky goal of 'Done' that seems so elusive.

Use frogs to agitate the water. They will take care of your mosquito problem at the same time.
