I'm pretty sure the proper/. unit for theft/time is the Madoff. Guessing that he stole about 25 billion dollars over 30 years (this is just an off the cuff estimate, the actual value of the Madoff may vary), 9 million dollars per month (I think that's what the summary says) is a rate of about 0.13 Madoffs.
Yes, the actions of a National Guard unit 40 years ago clearly demonstrate the attitude and training of the present day military.
I certainly don't want the military carrying out police work, as they certainly are trained in a very different direction, but I'm not sure why we are discussing military control of civilian policing, the article is about technology transfer, not a political reorganization making the military responsible for policing U.S. citizens.
Actually, 1 == True is True in Python (so 1 != True is False).
It is largely an artifact of the late addition of True and False to the language, prior to the introduction, comparisons returned 0 or 1. When they were added, it was decided that code depending on comparisons returning 0 or 1 didn't need to break.
It might be possible to induce tropical storms to form on a more regular basis, dissipating the energy before it builds up enough to create enormous storms.
So it might actually be possible to prevent some of them.
Calculate the energy needed to mix by, say, 10%, the top 10 feet of a square mile of ocean (then you can use the 10% to estimate 50% and so on). You only need to pump 200 million gallons, so it shouldn't be too big a deal.
Then figure out how much of the roughly 1.6 million square miles of Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico you would need to cover for 'adequate' protection.
This is so dumb it isn't even funny. There can be 100 answers to the question, each of which gives a slightly different perspective, or different information. By comparing their needs to the information and perspectives given in the answers, the questioner can make a more informed choice about what will suit them.
$100,000 is cheap when you start thinking about overhead. And 10 employees probably isn't enough to do all of the work plumbing the data into the system.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is some support for X11, but I doubt the netbooks with ARM processors are going to have Wine support.
(My understanding is that Google contributed to Wine, at least in part, in order to facilitate moving themselves off of Windows desktops, and I am guessing that porting their applications is also a consideration)
I'm gonna go with D. It seems to me that there is a huge group of people that like the feeling that comes from being enthusiastic about something, so rather than thinking critically about well-defined ideas and concepts, they think superficially about vague ideas and concepts that engender enthusiasm.
Hence the group that is nearly religious about the supposed implications of 'the' singularity, and the current state of Wired, and so forth.
Yeah, who knows how it will work out. They can certainly afford to spend a few tens of millions of dollars to find out, and they are already branding it as a competitor to Microsoft (my local news was talking about Google releasing a new OS last night), so they may be able to use the familiarity of their name to make it clear at the store that it doesn't work like Windows (Apple having a decent market share should make this easier).
Cheaper netbooks with Google branding on them, to drive you to Google search.
Non Windows netbooks with some unheard of Linux distribution have been a flop, they want to see if the Google brand can sell them, and if it does, they want the buyers looking at Google ads.
I'm trying to say that there is enough nuclear generation in the U.S. to judge it on it's own merits, there isn't any reason to compare the U.S. to France. Throw in the huge coal reserves in the U.S. and relative lack of coal in France and the comparison just keeps breaking down.

Are those two things mutually exclusive?
Perhaps experienced pilots in the area, who have seen such wreckage, choose not to fly when the weather indicates such winds are likely.
The meat entities within a corporation may care about the price of the shares of the corporation, the corporation itself only cares about profits.
And then some bastard invents the Generalized machine maker machine.

Does murdering someone hurt society, or just that person?
It's a glib analogy, but it is possible for the consequences of harm to spread further than the entity it is directed at.

Mod parent redundant.
You are wrong. The GGP (my GGGP) is talking about the ActiveX widget that banks use for encryption in South Korea:

Is a story where people are arguing about the appropriateness of something going on in China the correct place for that criticism?

But maybe that qualifies as advanced stupidity.

Don't worry, government firebombs would save the world.
We are talking about highly unlikely dystopias, right?

You just don't have enough money for the bank to care about you (Neither do I).
If someone with enough money calls in, or someone higher up in the bank wants it, I would think it would happen.
The story you tell yourself about your genetic superiority to all the plebes isn't nearly as true as you think it is.
I tell myself the same sort of stories all the time, but I have stopped thinking they are true.

Apples are Red. Oranges are orange.
Apples have a skin that doesn't detract from eating the fruit raw in the hand. Most people think oranges are better peeled.
I don't know, my 12 year old Dell model AT101W keyboard still works great (I have to use some $8 USB widget to connect it to my laptop though).
