That's really impressive, but is it medically useful in the instance they mention in the summary?
If you have advanced heart failure, aren't you in danger of your heart just topping REAL SOON NOW? Can they use the stem cells to repair your heart before you die? It would be more credible to treat people who have had a heart attack and some damage but aren't yet in advanced heart failure.
I think the common factor isn't attitude. It's not having a decent science education.
But in GWB's case it was an affectation. He had the best education money could buy and code to speak a certain way because it appealed to his base.
Many people need to play in the approved sandbox or else they'll stumble and hurt themselves. Others know what they're doing and understand the security implications of actions they take so they don't need Big Daddy Apple watching over them (and would in fact find that restrictive/suffocating).
No, not many. A few. The iPhone is a consumer device. Opening it up for anybody to program and distribute whatever software they want would be of no benefit to the vast majority of users, no benefit to Apple and no benefit to the wireless providers.
If they opened it up, they'd actually be screwing over their customers and business partners. I can't imagine a compelling argument why they should do so.
The level of access that an antivirus program needs is the level of access that a virus needs. Apple's not giving that to the would-be malware creators either.
Besides, an antivirus program for iOS makes no sense because there aren't any such things to protect against. .
The USA spends close to a million dollars per soldier per year. The enemy has to spend maybe 5% of that per "enemy combatant" at most. Probably a lot less. To field a force that would be numerically equal to our forces would cost them maybe $50 million. They'd need a lot more than that to defeat us in battles, because our side is better armed. But this is not about battles. There have been very few battles. In this kind of war, the resistance avoids direct confrontations and chooses to strike where and when its forces can do the most damage to the stronger side -- or just make them look ineffective. Most of the American forces are busy trying to protect every place where the enemy might strike. It's extremely inefficient. So the Taliban only needs a small fraction of our forces to keep the Americans busy -- and going broke.
Basically, this kind of war is not winnable in a traditional sense. The resistance can carry on with a small number of soldiers and on a shoestring budget almost indefinitely.
That's not to say that guerilla forces can't be defeated. They can be, if the populace cooperates with the central government to deny them aid, deny them new soldiers and help ferret them out -- and if the resistance doesn't have cooperative govenrments across the border.
That's not the situation in Afghanistan, so it's highly questionable whether we can win at any cost.
But that only shows that the documents are of US government origin. The government doesn't have to reveal anything about their value or truthfulness to get a conviction
As for Wikileaks and Assange, they would seem to have plenty of evidence that they conspired to commit and did in fact commit espionage against the USA.
There are three reasons I can think of that they might not have gone against him more aggressively (yet):
1. They're afraid of what he might reveal in that case.
2. They are waiting for the conviction of Bradley Manning, so they can force him to testify against his Wikileaks contacts.
3. They know Wikileaks has nothing of real importance.
It depends on if you can relieve the pressure, perhaps by letting the magma out of the dome before it can build up enough pressure to blow what's above it.
To do that, you'd have to put vents in the dome, drilled all the way into the magma so it could get out. But the kind of magma that causes supervolcanoes has superheated water and other gases in it that have the potential to expand explosively. It would be a tricky process, probably more difficult than capping an undersea gusher.

Finally, I'll be able to get my ketchup out of the bottle.

They're a simple solution for guitar amps where the distortion is intentional..players can fiddle with the bias to get the distortion they want.
Also there's an inherent capacity to deal with large overloads and high powers as compared to transistors.
Or s phone that was turned off or an application uninstalled before the investigation started or a service that plain does not work.
What has stoppped your ISP from metering your usage for the last several years?
And why would they start?

Wy bothter to exploit anything else when you can get the user to download and install your shit?
Errm... It would cost the Taliban maybe 5 billion for the numerically equal force.

Wake me up when another Linux variant runs on my phone and doesn't have the same vulnerabilities as Android.
Virus scanners like they have on Windows would destroy the platform. Phones don't have unlimited battery to throw at security.
After they have the nerve to get on the radio at encourage me to rat out my employer, perhaps destroying my own job, They Can Go Straight To Hell.
And NO I don't use pirated software.
Yeah like THAT works. How much have the Occupy people accomplished?
NADA.
If you want to accomplish anything, you need to get your own people elected.
Two cities get to decide what to do with state sales tax?
This kind of deal just shouldn't be legal.
In the United States, if the government accuses you of a crime (treason is a crime) you get a jury trial.
The old distractions are still there. Now there's an added layer.
That makes no sense. You are entitled to a jury in any criminal case and in any major civil case.
This is nothing compared to the cold war.

Government PUBLICATIONS automatically fall in the public domain. Government secrets do not.
