Yes competitions like this fail because someone in the distribution process with a warehouse full of bars will have enough intelligence to find the bars and get accomplices to plant them in shops.
Real chocolate is good for your heart. "Chocolate and cocoa contain a high level of flavonoids, specifically epicatechin, which may have beneficial cardiovascular effects on health." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_bean
Of course the process of turning the beans into chocolate plus the addition of large amounts of condensed milk, sugar and other additives removes virtually all traces of these benefits...
Ah this took me back to pirating ZX Spectrum games at school in the 1980s. We bought software too, lots of it, but shared it out amongst ourselves. A utility called "The Key" was able to copy games initially but then the makers got smarter and started customising their loaders, but by then, armed with my "Complete ZX Spectrum ROM Disassembly" I was still able to stay ahead of the curve. We also defeated the lightly coloured code sheets of tiny symbols by a simple divide-and-conquer strategy. Cutting the codesheet into multiple pieces, copying them out by hand, then photocopying them on the school photocopier (at a perfectly reasonable 5p/sheet).
The problem is in granting him trademark ownership of the phrase "Carnival of Souls" in the first place. He's just acting to defend it against any infringement as any other trademark owner would. Of course threatening reviewers is ridiculous but the publisher is going to have to pay him off. No way can they put out a book out with the same title as an existing trademark using for comics/graphic novels etc. Someone in Harper Collins legal department should get fired.
This story typifies what's wrong with NASA these days. No astronauts are going to Mars for the forseeable future. And even if a mission were approved it would take a decade's planning and minor tasks like this could be knocked off in a few months. They're reduced to trumpeting these irrelevancies in the absence of any real achievements.
People just like spending money on worthless crap like this. It gives them a warm glow. I doubt $50 is going to break anyone so just let them learn the hard way.
They probably used dendrochronology from some piece of wood found nearby. There are databases of ring growths going back thousands of years so it's possible to date to an exact year.
By "good things" Dimon just means profitable things for the bank. As opposed to bad things like the London Whale losing $6 billion through his blowhole. He doesn't mean altruistic "good things".
I've no idea who Steve Yegge is or what he's supposedly "at again" but I wish he'd stop - or that/. would just stop featuring him.
This article is just claptrap from start to finish where he projects his completely artificial and false one-dimensional scale onto clearly the only political model he knows - America's. Compile-time binding is conservative and run-time binding is liberal? Oh please.
Yahoo doesn't have any strengths or innovation though... It's been dying for years and anyone left who has the technical ability required to save it will soon be jumping ship to somewhere they can get equity and be bought by google or facebook in a few years. Applying strategies which worked for start-ups (free food, regular meetings) just isn't going to work here. It's cargo cult management.
I must admit it does amuse me a little to see a smug Apple fanboy so crushed by the realisation that Apple doesn't really care about him or his security. The moral is not to daisy-chain all your accounts together so snugly.
Both Saruman and Gandalf are immensely powerful. Gandalf the White, aided by Narya, is the second-most powerful being in Middle-Earth. However he is forbidden from using his powers directly and instead has to offer counsel and assistance to the Free Peoples rather than impose his will by force.
Yes Charlie Eppes came up with a model in a few hours that predicted the behaviour and location of a group of criminals and interfaced seamlessly into criminal databases and detailed maps of City streets and buildings.

Of course wind power "works". Wind power has been used for millennia. It's just a question of where to put them. (On top of mountain ranges perhaps?)
Real journalism is expensive and no-one is willing to pay for news these days.

No. No it isn't. Not at all.

When did Ceres become a dwarf planet instead of an asteroid?

Change your name to ChumpusRex2003'; drop database;'
Why is it always America? Does it dawn on you that less than 5% of the world is American? This could be very disruptive technology in many countries.
No they're not really self-aware, it's just a Chinese Room.

That could work ...

We need a lot of new laws? Yes that always works so well at advancing technology.
Have you found a reliable vendor of tin-foil hats? I'm concerned mine may be bugged by the government.

Just give it a penis then it will waste all day drinking beer and failing to interface with female robots.

Yes then they'll have to write off $12 billion.
