Venus and Mars were always in the habitable zone, although this new definition excludes the former. But that only means that it's not physically impossible for liquid water to exist on them. We have good evidence that Mars had liquid water, but it has disappeared since then. To get liquid water on Mars, we would first have to replace its lost atmosphere, and for that atmosphere to remain, we would have to give it a magnetic field, which is pretty much impossible for the foreseeable future.
Just because a drone is controlled remotely with an interface similar to a simulator doesn't mean it behaves like a simulated aircraft. It's still flying through real-life air.
True, but like it's a waste of time to teach science before the kids have learned mathematics, it's also the optimal order in IT to teach the theory first.
Wrong theories aren't really taught in physics. Neither are they enlightening, in fact it kinda destroys the legend of brilliant minds finding out how nature works, as for most of history, competing theories have covered pretty much every possibility. Now there are theories that were good at the time just simply got outdated, but most of them, including Aristotle were completely wrong. I don't see how his blatant misuse of logic could be of any help. There's also a big difference between history and computing. Most of the time, new programs improve on older ones their functionality being a superset of their predecessors. Thus, learning how old programs worked would be, for most of the time, redundant. Time is finite, and you have to make a compromise in what you teach and what you don't. If you want to teach user skills, you won't have enough time even for the most important software that is out there today, it's just too much.
Right, and the problem wasn't with that, but with the terminology. Cutting up something into parts is not substraction, because you can cut out several objects from one piece of wood, thus there's much less waste.
If they have the capability to launch a satellite, then any point in the world is within their reach. Whether their aim is good enough to hit the target is another question.
But the politicians don't declare war if they don't see profit in it. The bigger the military, the bigger its influence on politics, and the more agressive foreign politics will become.
Security is hard to do for someone who isn't proficient in it. If she wants a blog that can't be hacked, she should either hire a professional or use one of the thousands of blogging services (that is assuming it was a real hack and not just a DoS, these Egyptologists don't seem to understand the difference between the two).
Freedom of speech guarantees speech free of governmental censorship. It doesn't defend you from public opinion. If anything, this case strenghtened free speech because it showed its opponents that even without governmental oversight, unacceptable speech is not without consequences.

I had the same experience, but my point was that CS is mathematics, thus should come before more specific IT fields.

The entire civilized world can't do much while China is backing them. Sad as it is, it's not worth a nuclear war.
Use general purpose electronics and store everything important in RAM. Virtualise if necessary.
That's not a problem, but saying that younger people are dumb for not sharing the author's nostalgia is.

Why should we waste time and brainpower studying obsolete software?

Ten years is too short time for any conclusion.

Why am I hearing it now for the first time?
These formulas tend not to work for humans. We have a much longer lifespan than mammals of similar size.
America gets destroyed in every other movie and nobody gets worked up because of it.
deserves to lose their money.

And opening up the internet will move the country towards those goals.
More of a British problem. The horse losing the race goes into the burgers.

Corporations are not good or evil, they only want profit. And in this case, a fair pricing is also more profitable.
Yes.
Only donate your genome if you know that none of your relatives have done it.
AFAIK the power is in the hands of the military, they just use the somewhat popular monarch to further their own goals.
