A software bug caused the first Ariane 5 to crash. Basically it boiled down to lazy coding ignoring a background thread from the previous version of the software that was no longer needed.
Working as a developer at a tiny shop just out of college. Any time the CEO had troubles figuring out how to access a website I would be summoned to "just fix it" for him.
"Would you like ultra-wide spectrum super-HD eyes with 60x optical zoom, Internet-connected HUD and complimentary laser cannons, just like everyone else has?"
In comparison, lets consider an ancient ballistic missile...
Reading that gave me a vision of the ancient Greeks launching a Polaris missile at one another. Spar-taaaans! You will set 1-MQ to missile firing! Designate target package Athens! Spin up missiles I-VI and VII-XII! Commence hover maneuver and stand by to rain fire on our enemies! HA-OU! HA-OU! HA-OU!
Well, you do remember King Leonidas kicking the Persian emissary into the missile silo in "300", don't you?
And why were the ancient Greeks they using Roman numerals? It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
He taught me never to point a gun at something unless I planned on killing it (It's so ingrained in me, I refuse to play paintball because of it).
You know, I wonder if this is why I suck so much at paintball. My eyesight isn't so great, and I don't pull the trigger unless I am absolutely damn sure the person I am aiming at is on the other team. Thus I tend to get hit before I even shoot.
I also go through way less paintballs then anyone else on the teams I have played on as I don't believe in spray and pray.
So you want to punish him for what some other completely unrelated people _might_ do?
Yeah....that sounds like a country I want to live in......
And what if the guy is lying about it? What if he wanted his stepson to shoot himself to get rid of the kid? If we don't punish people who commit the very definition of "reckless endangerment", how will it act as a deterrent to anyone else who might do the same thing?
The problem is, your life is worth a lot less to me then it is to you. (Sorry, not trying to be an ass, but I don't even know you.) I can probably guess our lives are worth whatever we pay in taxes to a bureaucrat (if that).
I think this is more of a cultural problem. After taking care of a parent with a terminal disease, I can sympathies with anyone in that situation. Furthermore, in many cases the patient's life is worth less to them, then it is to their family.
As long as they use this adblock hide article technique to hide articles that are simply vague advertisements anyhow. I don't see a problem here!
Actually I haven't read Ars in years; so I cannot say if they bow to the pressure most hardware sites do to become advertising parrots. If I remember correctly, their focus is on geek culture rather then hardware now. (Note, my memory sucks.)
At any rate, flash or full page ads = adblock on the entire site. even if they also have less annoying text ads.
While I have no problem of people hemopathisizing themselves out of the gene pool... I can see a lot of parents out there choosing this for their children and killing them.
"Movie-Quality" is basically a worthless statement. Which movie? Avatar, Final Fantasy, Toy Story, Tron? The quality of digitally produced movies, and the quality of game graphics power are constantly moving targets.
City of Pittsburgh is around 300k people and falling, mostly because of urban sprawl and sububanization. There are over 2 million people in the greater Pittsburgh area.
So Terry Pratchett was on to something when he invented the concept of reverse phrenology. Hitting someone in the head enough times will change their personality.
Actually you on to something here. I read a report a while back that January is the highest month for elderly to pass away. Originally this was thought as a consequence of the weather however this holds up in warmer climates too. New thinking is that people hold on to survive through the holiday season to see family, and finally cant hold on any more once the holidays are over. I was not able to find the report I read about this, but my own anecdotal evidence supports what you found.

Official Report.
Working as a developer at a tiny shop just out of college. Any time the CEO had troubles figuring out how to access a website I would be summoned to "just fix it" for him.
Ah, but where does it end?
"Would you like ultra-wide spectrum super-HD eyes with 60x optical zoom, Internet-connected HUD and complimentary laser cannons, just like everyone else has?"
You had me at laser cannons.
Yes, I know that was the last thing you offered.
If you replace every instance of "Finite State Machine" with "Flying Spaghetti Monster", the post sounds more like a religious discussion.
do I have the level of understanding with all of Kelper's Laws and bits to change them to what I want for my game? Nope.
You needed to change that bit for your game?
Kelper's laws deals health food.
The US is only interested to put rich dudes into LEO. Fuck that.
Well, I am all for it.
Oh, we are bringing them back? Fuck that.

but can't find their pants to go to the store and buy them.
Thank GOD for steam!
I don't see the problem here. The sign said "No Shoes No Shirt No Service". Nowhere did the sign mention pants.
Or a trap.
You've been listening to Admiral Ackbar too much.
or 4chan.
Or republicans.
This article is worthless without videos.

wait... this is what happens when nouns become verbs :(
In Soviet Russia, nouns verb YOU.
The cheapest, fastest, and safest way is to just blow them all up.
That's your solution to everything.
The more important question is.... do they have a flag?
No, but they do have these lovely pendant key-chains.

Clicky clicky below to read his point.
Nowhere in that meaningless expanse of dribble did he ever come close to something resembling a point. We are all dumber for having read his post.

Agreed, Mythbusters, c4, and expensive scanning equipment. It can be guaranteed that the machine will not survive.
