This ruling unifies the circuit breakers across exchanges. The NYSE did not reverse any floor trades from the spike, the circuit breakers there did kick in.
76% are vulnerable, it hasn't been demonstrated that someone is using this technique for nefarious purposes (or at least, effectively using it, maybe some nerd somewhere sniffed some peoples browser history).
Then there is the part where finding out someone used Facebook, Yahoo and Google doesn't tell you much. I suppose, knowing they Google'd for prostitutes would be of some use, but good luck constructing that exact url.
The thing is, this spill isn't terribly likely to have many significant long term consequences. I guess if 'long term' means '1 human lifespan' it will have a few, but if long term means '1 million years', then meh.
I would guess that even as short as 10 years from now, there will be very few ongoing effects from this incident.
It's a bit much to read that as a blanket anti-law enforcement comment, it simply means that Taco feels that the law enforcement needs of the Secret Service are subordinate to his right to secure his possessions.
The acoustic thing you are talking about is a switch, not an additional valve. It would have been another, redundant system alerting the failed blow out preventer that it should close (early on in the recovery process, they sent robots down and attempted to activate the blow out preventer, so it is quite clear that it failed).
I don't pretend to understand the systems well enough to know whether the acoustic switch would have activated earlier than other systems (a scenario where it may have made a difference), but I get the impression it would not have made much difference. Mostly, that impression comes from the 60 Minutes interview where one of the crew members claimed that during testing, they accidentally ran a bunch of pipe through the active part of the blow out preventer, causing an unknown amount of damage to it. They tested the system after that, but they didn't inspect it, and it isn't clear exactly how much predictive value they thought the testing had.

You don't even need to set a price that is believable, you just need to be willing to change it.
Turn off a light once in a while.

Make sure to memorize at least 10 digits, it'll be on the test.
There is an awful lot of Pacific that sees ~0 traffic.
1 cubic mile is about 26 billion barrels.
"they" aren't reading it, a program/system is analyzing the content.
I mean, Google has a policy that humans don't casually access the content, do you trust Google+that policy more or less than some mom-and-pop ISP?

Apparently you are unawares of the commercial usenet providers, they make money by providing customers access to usenet.
Go figure.
In the original short story, it was a disease that blew in on the wind.
So the premise for the modern movie probably came about by twisting that into something that played on modern fears.
Like when we eradicated smallpox.

Oooh, they changed their name so that people wouldn't associate them with the actions that someone else took. What a shameful thing to do.

You are dramatically over-stating the impact of this thing. It isn't anywhere even close to threatening civilization.
She only mentioned the undersea patches in the context of downplaying press reports about the severity of the impact:

You are a bit pessimistic.
And your call of doom is a bit premature. The U.S. has enough natural gas to meet transportation needs for several decades.

It was Arthur Anderson accounting that was involved with Enron, not the Arther Anderson consulting business.
That doesn't really establish anything about the culture that might exist at Accenture, but it does establish that it was different people.
Do you think it will get cheaper after you have had more practice?
Well, it was Canadians who decided that rapeseed oil wasn't good enough, and started calling it canola oil.
Are you sneering and munching on a chicken drumstick as crumbs of grease tumble down your t-shirt and lodge on top of your shelf-like belly?
Yeah, you would only be able to store 800 million of your oddly small files on this new drive. What a disaster.
Did you find it scary, fighting the Mexicans?
