I have seen the documentary. This documentary isn't all about Gawker. I am not going to comment on the Gawker situation. However, no one here seems to be mentioning what happened to the Las Vegas Review-Journal or how Billionaire Adelson, bought the paper and ordered someone not to write about him. Adelson even brought suit against him and t hen offered to take care of the journalist's kid's medical bills and drop the suit if he would retract his earlier comments. The journalist refused. However, almost everyone that wrote the article about Adelson's family acquiring the paper no longer work for said company.
While the legality of this is up for debate it does go to show that with enough money you can silence anyone. Free Speech and Freedom of the Press only work if you have the funding to back your side.
Is it just me or is there a bit of a contradiction?
From TFA:
"It turned out that Miles had noticed something no-one else had - including the Nasa experts."
"Nasa said it was aware of the error, but believed it was only happening once or twice a year."
So he noticed something no-one else had....then in the very next line state that NASA was aware just they believed it wasn't as common as he pointed out.
So NASA did know about the negative readings but didn't quite know the extent of the mistake.
I guess, he noticed something they didn't but this seems a little click-baity. I mean good on the kid for noticing a pattern but the wording is just grandiose.
We all complain because gas prices are so high. So what is the first thing we do when gas prices finally drop a bit? Talk about how we can raise them again.
Everyone is cracking jokes, or discussing how it can be accomplished, but has anyone wondered why the interest all of the sudden? Do they know something that we don't?
We have already sent 2 probes outside the Solar System? Really, they were just arguing earlier this year if the first probe we sent has even exited our solar system yet. Additionally, it will lose all contact with us before it gets very far into interstellar space. We could probably sent out a ship that would take a very long time to reach another star system, but communication would take twice as long and it just not very feasible. We can't even feed and cloth everyone on this planet, much less send a bunch of people on a very long journey into the stars.
I think expecting intelligent life to have visited earth is a bit arrogant. The fermi paradox is mysterious because we haven't been visited by intelligent life yet? It is highly likely that intelligent life either wouldn't want to visit us, or maybe they have something like the prime directive where they aren't allowed to interfere in our lives until we can match them technologically.
I know they probably made it official now, however, I could have swore i've read this a while back when they announced they were making a new Star Wars movie. As I said, they are probably just making it official now, but I think everyone was already prepared for this to happen. So its kind of a non-story?
I really would not want. You are basically the NSA's scape goat. Any privacy related issues would have to go through you and you would become the NSA's whipping boy. Even if you agree with what the NSA is doing, that job has gotta be frightening.
I dropped out of High School because I was living on my own and had to work. The only job I could get at the time and age required me to work during normal school hours. I then got my GED and since then have joined the military and now i'm out of the military and i'm attending College. If it weren't for the GED I wouldn't have been able to do what i've done and get more than a minimum wage job.
That this could really be a bad move? I mean what if some mistake or miscalculation happens and then we have a 500 ton asteroid headed straight for Earth? Wouldn't it be better to examine the Asteroid in the field instead of bringing it back to Earth?

The only thing this study proves is that 1. Most people don't care enough to know who are CEOs and hot shots in tech 2. Some people are idiots.
Our government is behind this in order to make everyone afraid and give up more rights and to justify their cyber warfare initiatives.

Let's send robots to excavate to find any fossils. Maybe there is some sort of remnants of life on Venus?
This will probably get downvoted all to hell and probably sound really cruel. I am a father of 3 myself. But this is Darwin's Law clearly at work....
Incoming Asteroid, we done screwed up....
I for one, embrace our new Skynet overlord. May it reign peace on earth thanks to the brutal efficiency that only an AI can create.
If TFA is about Nazis?

Funtoo has patched GNOME 3 to work without systemd.

Has a cousin from that star system, and he said the stars were just rubbish....
Big Picture Mode does and has worked on Linux for a while now. Infact Big Picture mode worked on their beta before it was even "officially" released.

That bird is a spy. It works for the NSA to capture traffic over IPoAC
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Someone has been watching too much Breaking Bad.
