Aren't these Communists delicate little flowers? Amazingly thin skinned, even though they block anything even vaguely political from mainland China.
I think they are a bunch of stupid Third World pussies, with stupid Third World attitudes. No wonder they're Pakistan's only friend in the world. It takes a dirty, illiterate loser to know one.

If this is implemented, then pro-copyright extremists will argue that running or using a proxy is prima facae evidence of criminality and then lobby hard to make it illegal. Result? Anybody with a legitimate (or illegal but ethically necessary) reason to use a proxy will lose out.
The OPs' hope that the pro-copyright extremists won't fight back hard, with legislation to ban proxies, or force China-style "real ID" laws on Internet users, is naive at best, and ultimately, dangerous.
The US has many allies, including most of the West, Japan, and many other countries. Iran has (ummmm...) Venezuela (actually, Hugo Chavez and his friends), and North Korea. I think it would take a LOT to have the Muslim world fall in behind a handful of crazed Twelver shi'ites who hate their guts, against the mighty United States.
I doubt anybody would be willing to militarily have a go at the US and Israel for glassing Iran. Israel flattened half the Middle East with one hand tied behind it's back several times since 1948. What makes people think that they can't do it again, especially when the United States comes to their aid, and ESPECIALLY when the gloves comes off. And then they do, the world will truly understanding the meaning of crushing military defeat.
My money is on the States. Iran is its own worst enemy.
Who said anything about whiteness? Anyway, there are plenty of violent, religious (and white!!) idiots in the world much worse than your average Iranian.
That a culture that can manage to put a satellite into space, thinks that
1) if they put a rocket in space, then everyone will start liking and respecting them; and 2) that if nobody likes or respects them, it's not their fault, but everyone else's.
Look at us! We're not a backwards Third World basketcase! Honest! Really!! Can we be friends now?:-p
Unlike the US, where if people get bad service, they get vocal and kick up a stink, the British have a tendency to just wear it. Expensive, shit service is par for the course here, and business and the 1% know it.
Oracle need to be called out on what appears to be an open-and-shut case of negligence.
Only a complete idiot would take on Java and it's 600 million users without making some kind of plan for supporting it. Their approach so far has been unbelievably reckless.
I certainly hope they don't take that attitude to Oracle Database, which is very expensive indeed, and running inside companies with lots of well paid lawyers.
1) Watch your mouth. 2) JET -- scientific development/feasibility (done). ITER -- engineering development/feasibility with some added basic science to nail remaining issues. Power plant scale although will not feed power to the grid. DEMO -- prototype commercial power station.
It's a scientific instrument, not a power station. The instrument (JET, amongst others), has done its job, and they're now building the proof-of-concept power station (ITER). Nonetheless, if you know anything at all about magnetic fusion and JET, you'll realize that what it's done (16MW for 1 second -- and more importantly -- 4MW for 4 seconds) are actually massive achievements, especially for 30-year-old hardware.
In the West, and especially the US, we have massive, pervasive astroturfing (and other kinds of black PR) advocating for the interests of private power. It's morally as bad as what the Communists are doing -- possibly worse, since they advocate policies which attack our fundamental rights and freedoms for private profit.

We don't see that. Our elites are as low and worthless as junkies, because they are hopelessly, terminally addicted to cheap labour.

The UK clearly needs more Indians or .
Food for thought for teabaggers who think they want to go to war with Obama...
My shotshot coder kid cousin, cutely described Python as a 'legacy language'.
I should've asked her what she considered NOT legacy, especially since Python uptake, afaict, is actually increasing.
I have a feeling this is a nuclear option.

Just keep that stuff air-gapped from the public Internet, otherwise you'll get owned in about 30 seconds (not that you'll know it).

Is Ray Kurzweil the new Jon Katz?
The economics (or lack thereof) of putting stuff into orbit are well known.
What about the cost of bringing large amounts of cheap, heavy material back DOWN the gravity well?
I have a feeling that it won't be economical enough to do for something like thousands (or millions) of tons of pig iron.

That stops working the millisecond a mushroom cloud appears over Iran.
North Korea has a powerful friend (China). Iran burnt all their bridges, and thus has very few friends at all.
Having powerful backers is more important than possessing a weapon too powerful to use.

They're probably looking to segment the market and screw as much money out of their customers as possible.

And here's hoping that ITER will shut up these tedious cranks before 2020...
I read somewhere that they're talking turbopump production in-house.

A young man took his own life. And so far, I'm only reading sick jokes and flamebait. This isn't Digg.
