On the other hand, doctors often prescribe both something like Vicoden (for pain) and ibuprofen (as an anti-inflammatory), and I've seen people saving the one or the other.
Your sarcasm is inane. I'm perfectly comfortable with the legislature mandating that doctors and health care providers use software that meets certain standards when storing patient information, but I do not want a court deciding what those standards are.
You have to mask the information returned by getComputedStyle too (and apparently, you have to make sure that parent elements don't change size if the font size of visited links is set differently).
You are describing the pure CSS version of the attack. If you are using javascript (As the page in the story does), you can use getComputedStyle to check if a link has been visited and then just submit the info to the server.
Of course, the nearly 14,000 urls contained in the sitelist.js file from the site are a little more than 'a few popular web2.0' sites.
(There appears to be some user agent sniffing in place to protect that file from casual viewing, but the new link enabled source viewer in FireFox 3.5 doesn't care.)
The cost would be enormous (the cheapest way I can think of would be to establish a colony there to manufacture and install them...).
I have no idea about the magnetic field, but I imagine that it would take an enormous array to get anywhere close (I don't think even our largest transmission lines are noticeable in space...).
If the giant circuit idea is practical from a physics standpoint, it would probably be vastly cheaper to do it using nuclear power.
I'm not suggesting complete decentralization, just that there is plenty of room to put some of those jobs elsewhere. If you move 1,000 jobs, you don't end up creating all that many personnel redundancies, you don't end up creating all that many infrastructure redundancies (it's a lot of offices no matter where it is), and if you do it judiciously, you might not even create much need for travel (choose groups that don't need to do a lot of face to face communication, that work together, etc.).
For context, 4.6% of the nation lives in those areas. By comparison, 13% of the nation lives in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, but only about 7.8% of federal employees work there.
Now, moving things around so that things were exactly balanced to population would almost certainly result in inefficiencies, but it is also almost a certainty that tens of thousands of those jobs could be moved around without any impact on costs.
That essentially everybody makes it through security in time for their flights seems like a rather significant difference.
The number of screeners can even be increased if the wait in the regular line becomes too long.
Of course, there is some chance that rich people will be able to jump to the head of the organ transplant line sometime in the next 30 years, mad scientist doctors are quite far along the path of growing new organs from harvested cells.
His point is better than that. The federal government basically runs an enormous jobs program in the Washington D.C. area, an area that is pretty much over developed at this point. Placing operations in other cities would have the effect of improving the economy in those cities and (probably) saving the government money (by lowering overhead costs and such).
All of the plug-ins I had installed with 3.0 appear to be working just fine with 3.5. Of the 5 extensions I use, only 1 does not have a version compatible with 3.5 (This will vary quite a bit between users, but 3 of my extensions didn't even require an update...).

They aren't getting rid of opiates. So not really a problem.
Only a little. Said fool isn't all that likely to come across 120 mg of Oxycodone anytime soon.
A lot of people use their history as a set of bookmarks.

Whoops, it is just hidden from morans. It is here:

Bugzilla bug 57351 was reported in October of 2000:

On which end? It sure wouldn't hurt the city that got the 1,000 jobs.

Not really, according to this report, 21% of federal employees work in D.C., Virginia and Maryland:
http://maloney.house.gov/documents/workingfamilies/fammedleave/TotalFederalEmploymentbyStateDecember2007.pdf
For context, 4.6% of the nation lives in those areas. By comparison, 13% of the nation lives in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, but only about 7.8% of federal employees work there.
(I used these numbers for population:

So we should all send our old hard drives to NASA?
Isn't it more akin to buying premium vodka than buying a politician?
I mean, if you can afford it, you can skip the security checks entirely (by buying or renting a jet).

If the card customers are bearing the full cost of the additional lines, is it really a bribe?
The attack is 2^137 faster than forever. They figure they can enhance it to get an additional factor of 2^8.5.

b and i, at least, are in the working version of html5:

and 'strong' usually results in bold text (but I guess it might not if the CSS for a page goes all over the place).
And what do you call water at 0.1 Celsius?
Ya see, it's close enough.
1 liter of 0 degree Celsius water will burn roughly 37 Calories (1 Kg * (37[body temperature] - 0) = 37 food calories).
And how many Calories did this end up cutting out of your diet?
