If Cisco owns the copyright to the code, they are free to license under the GPL and whatever other licenses they feel like. They may have implicitly released a particular version of those files under the GPL (or violated the GPL by not licensing those files, whatever), but that doesn't have any repercussions towards other uses of that code.
If you are saying that they have used code that is under someone else's copyright in IOS, then it is more complicated.
Your point about the escape velocity is hard to reconcile with my hand-waving (so it doesn't seem like the moon could have been ejected as I described).
I guess it is still possible that the explosion nearly obliterated the planet and the stuff that was left near the current orbit reformed into two bodies (but this seems even more far-fetched).
Maybe. Does the Google moderator system do a better job of building consensus than Wikipedia (which overwhelmingly rewards persistence and seems to be hilariously corrupt)?
If they are running the site solely to manipulate public perception of how they are operating, that sucks.
If they are manipulating the site in order to measure public perception of issues that they are interested in addressing, who cares; it's not as if past presidents have given equal consideration to all correspondence. That this is on the internets and all web 2.0 is irrelevant.
No, I'm pretty sure the anguish of knowing that the human species was extinct and that you were next would be a lot worse than the pain of being put through a wood chipper, or being dissolved in just weak enough acid (for example).
In a molten scenario, center of mass a would have ejected center of mass b, and then the countless fragments would have spent a bunch of time coalescing.
It's been a long time since I have though about it, and I'm no expert, but I think that the Sun could have spent some time pulling on the moon, making the orbit both more in plane with the orbit of the Earth (the Earth is pulling too...), and faster, so not all of the momentum necessarily had to come from the explosion/ejection (tilting the plane of the orbit of the moon would, I think, lower the overall momentum of the Earth-moon system, but increase the momentum of the moon itself).
The credit card company usually turns around and screws the merchant, so the merchant is the one who pays when something goes wrong.
Of course, the card companies are the ones who could improve security, but they make money on transaction volume, not security, so they are happy to sit on their hands. That a company can open a line of credit based on my name and a magic number, and then call me and tell me I owe them money, is ridiculous.
Lifestyles are not going to change dramatically. The U.S. has decades of coal. It will be 'keep the electricity flowing and damn the environment' right up until the last pound of it is dug up and burned (and it will be much the same in China). There is also decades worth of natural gas.
Neither of those include any thinking about the dozens of really stupid ideas that become perfectly economically viable when oil costs $200 a barrel, or a more liberal politics towards nuclear power.
As long as Intel is willing to enjoy a lower profit margin on their middle of the road chips, who cares?
I'm not a gamer, so my 2+ year old computer is fast enough about 98% of the time. I'm not willing to pay a great deal of money to bump that to 98.5%, or even 98.1%. I get that there are plenty of people who just need more speed, but that groups keeps getting smaller.
If Al Gore were appointed Secretary of Energy, I would become something like one of the villains from "Captain Planet", just to foil his potential success.

It's completely imaginary. Not plausible at all.
It isn't very likely that nuclear war would eradicate human life (especially without impacting the ISS), but at least it could happen.
No, I'm pretty sure the anguish of knowing that the human species was extinct and that you were next would be a lot worse than the pain of being put through a wood chipper, or being dissolved in just weak enough acid (for example).
If the Earth was too messed up to return too, being the sole survivors on the ISS would be perhaps the most unpleasant way to die possible.
There are gnomes living in your eyeballs; they paint the image onto your retina whenever you look at the spot where the moon supposedly is.

City life turns out to be less intensive than rural life. People are moving to cities all over the world.
How do you propose that people in New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, etc., grow even 10% of their own food?
There is nothing smug about acknowledging reality.

"Just 50%"
Are you trying to be hilarious, or is it an accident?
The current Secretary of Energy was an associate professor of Chemistry at MIT, before he left to work in the finance industry:

The previous Bush choice for energy secretary looks pretty political, but he was a lawyer, not an oil baron:

I'm pretty sure it is possible to learn that computers aren't magic boxes without learning C.
The people who do things and then wonder why something happened aren't going to be more successful in C than they are in whatever other language.
So stop touching yourself.
In my experience, schools generally implement cutting edge educational ideas from some time in the last 50 years.
They are all cutting edge, they just aren't necessarily up to date, and they aren't interested in changing.
Not since he let himself go anyway.
In Canada, the apportion the tax revenues to the artists based on current sales revenues, so you would likely continue to enjoy your current earnings.
What about the difference between 1 and 1,000?
So you look like an easy target, don't know how to properly dress yourself and can't navigate?
I would like to recommend that you try the VR.
It may be simpler to just replicate the planet/universe.
