Bytes only delay the inevitable as iran won't stop its nuclear program. The purpose of this sabotage was to buy enough time for Obama to be able to attack after the elections. It's a risky gamble as the dely might not be enough, and bullets are still better than nukes.
Exactly, in any case "active defence" is always an uneven battle. A small IT team that's main job is to keep the system running and most likely has little experience in hacking, and has tons of other work they also have to take care of, versus a team of experienced hackers (if they are just scriptkiddies then they most likely don't worth the effort) who do this full-time.
Theoretically, you could also do HFT between two exchanges if you are halway between them. For that, neutrinos might provide a small boost, although an 1.57x speedup most likely wouldn't be worth the costs involved.
Even better, give every share a timestamp of 2 weeks during which time it can't be sold. This would allow for fast trade but only in limited quantities.
If you are a long term investor you don't mind that you have to wait a few weeks to collect the number of shares you want. HFT only benefits other HFTs and perhaps daytraders who are even worse.
Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral. Of course, noone is questioning the responsibility of the governments, but this story is not about them.
True, air pollution has much more serious effects on the environment than climate change, but it's not nearly as easy to market in the media than "the day after tomorrow"-style catastrophe scenarios with islands sinking to the bottom of the sea and stuff. Another problem is that reduction of air pollution and reduction of CO2 emissions are many times at odds with each other: for example, the catalytic converters on cars that neutralize the pollutants in the exhaust gas also reduce the efficiency of the engine, leading to more CO2 emitted.
The big advantage of doing this instead of banning them is that if there's a problem with the detection algorithm then the players placed there by mistake will play against other players placed there by mistake, no damage done.
Then, how about #5? digital citizens have a right to... be held accountable for what they create
That's not necessarily a violation of free speech as it could refer to malware or creating derivative works without a licence. Still its meaning is as ambigous as the rest of the "bill", which is why it's no more than populist bullshit.

I first read the title as "Six Arrested Over Japanese Porn Android Virus" and thought their sexbots got hacked. Not as interesting now...
My personal fear is that the forced switch will cause a lot of smaller theaters to close, particularly the drive-in ones
When do you live? The last time I saw a drive-in was like 15 years ago.
That was true before 3D games came along, but now that everyone knows what 60fps looks like I don't think this association exists anymore.
In fact, it should be mute. These talkies always make my ear ache.
Only 640 removals is more like censorship, little. A drop in the sea basically.

Exactly, this is true to almost all startups.
He was just pointing out that hiring these people is not necessarily for offensive reasons.
What is this Matrix you are speaking of?
But if the seeds are sterile then how can they crosspollinate?
so the prince can't contact people to get his money out.

why do they also have to heat it?

Two. Different. Species. Equally. Close.
No surprises here as distance is symmetric.
But did you try it on orange?
You call it irrational, I call it bad experience. After Windows Mobile they will have a hard time convincing me.
Things slowed down quite a bit after they have lost all their funding.
The difference is that Stephen Hawking can write which the computer synthesizes as voice, enabling him to say anything.
