For the most part, if you are protecting something valuable, you will be willing to spend more resources than someone just trying to be a nuisance. That doesn't make them any less of a nuisance, but it isn't particularly hard to work around them.
I guess this sort of sucks for someone trying to run a small forum or something, but they could do something crazy like support OpenID.
A lot of this is due to an over-focus on the cost part of the cost and value inherent in manufactured items.
I was even able to take an elective on making things easier and cheaper to manufacture and assemble (reducing part counts, assembly steps, etc.); I don't recall the details, but if service and repair were mentioned, it was only in passing. That goes for the rest of my curriculum too.
In the "absolutely no evidence of the actual content and the modification dates are reasonable" sense, or in the "manipulating evidence probably carries bigger consequences" sense?
For all the money that has been spent on the Shuttle, they could have just built factories wherever they needed them. Ultimately, the Shuttle could have been designed better, but politicians were involved.
If you open a zip as a folder and then open something in the zip by double-clicking it, a copy is stored in a folder under Local Settings/Temp. Firefox also dumps "Open with..." content there.
I don't really disagree with your main point, but do you think that publishing information and opinions about how democracy might change things in Syria (in a language Syrians can read...) would somehow be completely pointless in getting people to act or think differently?
The article says they shut down internet access, but it doesn't really make it clear if the computers in question have any connection to the internet or not.
So the camera in the bathroom is going to keep you from getting blown up while you wait in line for security screening? "O.k. folks, bunch up over there so we can keep you safe."
The majority of the visible security activity done at airports is designed to make you feel safe, not to make you safe. Secure cockpit doors and angry passengers are the things preventing another airplane crash bombing, not the nonsense that they engage in at airports.
I know who my electric company is. I'm not nervous about coal prices. I don't want to buy guaranteed power delivery (because things like solar are getting cheaper, fast!). The point is, today, when I look at marginal electric prices, putting capital into solar is terrible compared to 'risking' my regulated utility (and that is using the price for solar after government subsidies). That solar is improving is exactly the reason not to 'get in now', because electricity is otherwise cheap and the getting in is getting better.
As far as corn, stupid is stupid, no matter what it smells like. If no one develops an industrial scale cellulose process, the entirety of the ethanol as fuel investment was wasted (but transitioning off of MTBE as an oxygenate was probably really smart).
Re insulation, yes, let's get going on making sure that new housing needs far less energy and retrofit like mad. Building the cost of increased insulation into the first mortgage isn't that big a deal and will save enormous amounts of energy over the lifetime of the house.
No, he means Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. There is some hilarious circle jerking in Footfall; the ideas are neat, but the rest of it is pretty much something else.

You switch to physical tokens?

PEX came on pretty strong in the last 10 years (but the tools are ridiculous cheap compared to what a plumber charges for labor).
At least you are flexible.

Botox.
No? When Sony bought the other operation, they only purchased a temporary license to the name, CBS retained the trademark.
They could probably get a subpoena for your computer using the last.fm data, so "It was mistagged" better be true if you want to use it as a defense.
I'm usually quite polite to them. On the other hand, I don't go there very often.

Or they are just absurdly nationalistic. We did that phase, we can try to move on a little bit.
You don't need human life support up there to do that.
Perhaps the network is reasonably self contained?

Yes, we must fear the day that China starts throwing spoons at America...FROM SPACE!!!!!
This was my immediate thought (without even looking at the sticker) and I am somewhat surprised that yours is the first comment I saw saying as much.
If you actually want a cell phone without the billing hassles, there are prepaid plans with unlimited talk for $50 (plus tax) a month.
If you forget to pay, your phone just stops working. Many of them just don't bother supporting roaming, so that is never an issue either.
Of course, they buy airtime from one of the companies you mention, so it might not be the solution if you resent them sufficiently.

Nearly the entirety of the United States has been logged. When the trees get bigger, it will be logged again.
There are spots that haven't been logged, but not very many. This is also true for much of Europe and Asia.
Twice?
You got the joke. You get 5 points.
That's just what they think. I moved it.
