This is not complicated, You can link Secret Service agents arm-to-arm around the White House and some nutjobs are still going to try to make a run for it.
But post just one IRS agent at each entrance and you will not have a problem again.
Wouldn't the elderly be better off on a space station? You could actually control the level of (artificial) gravity by designing it with rings and spinning the station (ref. almost every scifi story in space). They could start off at the outer layers (maybe 0.5 G equiv.?) and work their way up through the rings as their capabilities decreased. When they perish (dead ringers?) they could be released to fall back to Earth (shooting star), or on an orbit to intersect the Sun (if they need more flare) or wherever they chose.
That's an obvious solution of course, I think the holdup on it is that the test is given on dedicated Chomebooks, and they don't have enough of them to administer the test to all students at once.
...never UTC-3 unless someone is working very early hours. So it seems like weak evidence indeed!
AFAIK working early doesn't change your timezone, unless you're a pilot or long-distance driver (if it did I probably would have lapped my office a few times by now).
UTC-3 seems to only cover part of Greenland and Brazil, both well-known hotbeds of hacker activity. I suspect that the timezone information is as accurate as info found in random strings in the malware (BACKSNARF_AB25: darn it, time to change the combination on my luggage again...).
These drug companies are already raking in $XX billions on other drugs, and the cost to develop a new antibiotic could be less than some of their advertising budgets. The $2 billion might not even be enough incentive.
How about a rule like for every non-antibiotic drug that is approved by the FDA, they also need to submit one antibiotic drug for approval? That would get their attention.
I'm actually astounded by how often computer guys can be so bad at the science they claim to be upholders of.
Tell them that the vaccine is an update or patch to their immune system for a common exploit. Or new virus definitions, literally. They should get that.
Have they searched for unexplained sources of neutrons in our brane? I guess that might indicate a nuclear reactor (or something else interesting) one brane over.
He should get a wireless connection and put some high-voltage lines where the 'internet lines' were. Then just sit back and wait for the show to begin.
You're discounting range. A pen might be mightier than a sword, but its range sucks compared to a gun.
Now if a few people had flung chairs, books, hot coffee, etc. (basically anything heavy enough to do a little damage/distraction) they could undoubtedly have then rushed the gunmen with fewer losses than occurred from sitting there waiting for their name to be called.
If every newspaper in France were to re-print some of the more controversial cartoons form Charlie Hebdo, or offer to print and distribute next week's issue as a special insert, it would send a strong message to terrorists that the "Streisand Effect" is real.
And then the terrorists next target: Barbra Streisand.
If enough people were to infiltrate the HOA, could the HOA vote to disband itself? That might be a fun hobby...
Probably no, but not due to HOA rules. My mortgage agreement has a line in it about not taking any action to disband the HOA. Fortunately, while my HOA is far from great and has its own range of issues, it doesn't seem as bad as many mentioned here.
Nice of Sony to make this announcement after North Korea is knocked off the internet. Very passive-aggressive, Sony. Let's see if it's still available when North Korea gets back online.
hot tub time machine: violates numerous causality laws and in the spirit of preserving much of our modern understanding of thermodynamics, has been cancelled by a studio that mistook the word 'causality' for 'terrorist'
I don't know about this one, seems like the phrase "violates numerous terrorists" would get the studios pretty excited...
Maybe that's the amount of an HD film that someone with the attention span of a typical BBC reporter can watch? Seriously, it seems like the quality of BBC news reporting has been slipping for years. I suspect their long term plan is to steal readers from the Daily Mail.
At least the BBC still makes some decent programs.
The issue is the government basically is looking to use the fugitive disentitlement doctrine as procedural mechanism to avoid arguing merits of criminal action.
The case seems to have no merit, they're probably reluctant to bring it to a trial. I think they were probably hoping for a plea in the first place, to avoid a trial and the associated oversight, and didn't think it would go this way or drag out this long.
What about killing off girl embryos or blacks or obese, etc etc.
Are you suggesting that (presumably) white parents will be scanning their embryos to see if they'll turn out black?
While there may be some that do, I don't think there's any overlap between them and the ones who will be scanning for intelligence. Same for the ones who would select solely on gender or (again presumably) tendency for obesity, as that has a large component driven by lifestyle.
Is 15 IQ points a meaningful difference? How about 2 points? 30 points? At some point, it would obviously make a difference. Where that point is would vary from person to person. Part of the problem is that there are many factors that make up intelligence, and rolling them up into one number makes that number almost useless except in the most general sense.
The amount of water (as the protium source) used for fusion would be minuscule compared to the volume of the oceans, even if fusion technology was widespread and used over an extended period of time. Most technically literate people would know this, which is probably why your comment was marked 'Troll'. But as not everyone knows everything, your question does deserve a legitimate answer. The volume of water used would probably be more than offset by the amount of water falling to Earth in comets/asteroids/dust/etc. If it did somehow become a problem (extreme emphasis on 'somehow'), we could bring in more water from asteroids as needed. But if we did somehow burn through that much water through fusion in any reasonable timescale, I suspect we would be killed by the waste heat.
Do this to people's car door handles, door knobs, trash cans, doors in restaurants, the floor in public places, railings on escalators, the conveyor belt in a grocery store, etc.
All of those places are already covered in a layer of bacteria/viruses/???. IANAB, but I am curious as to how long Ebola would remain viable on those surfaces, i.e. how long until the other nasties destroyed it? Since it has not been listed as a transmission vector, I'm guessing that it would have a pretty short lifespan on a doorknob. Possibly anywhere where it would dry out would not be a place it could be transmitted.

Or better yet change the GPS data to the coordinates of a prison or army base.

But I'm only laughing because I'm not British. This would terrify me if I were British. Not that we don't have plenty of similar nuts in Congress.
Has anyone checked recently if Treddinick weighs as much as a duck? I think it's time.

Reported a few minutes ago, all three terrorists are dead.

I have some Verizon cables in my neighborhood that seem like they might qualify.

Maybe the tower could be converted to office space for the Senator. But only if it still is capable of holding a vacuum.

I was set to make a comment about how they should paint them BSOD blue- but they actually already did! At least that's how it looked in the video.
And then they make them look sorta like Daleks, and I can't really complain about that.
At this point all I can hope for is that they forgot to teach them about escalators or splash fountains, and wait for the inevitable videos.
