he won't be broke and broken, living under a bridge, but he's going away.
the question at hand should resolve over whether BP PLC is going away. there is ample proof of negligence and recklessness over the Mondero well, so there is no cap on liability.
if you are going to be evil, you will have to buy a license from Google.

Gulf Oil Leak Plugged?

to control the flow of nonsense over the failed well, contractors will first pump T5000 cement into his mouth under pressure, then fit ankle weights, and send him to inspect the work personally in the Gulf.
bring a bottle, jab the swabs, move on with your life. it's like giving "12345" as your zip code or "888-555-1212" as a phone number at a cash register.
the alternative prospect, that the universe has been biased itself towards things happening rather than things not happening, is just too far-fetched to be believeable. for instance, staff meetings are only one hour out of a week for most people. this is why things still move forward in spite of the organization behind them.
consider also it takes months to put up a shuttle launch, and there are only two or three left in the history of the system.
and consider that any method of blasting the errant satellite makes zillions of smaller, faster, deadlier satellites to puncture and kill the rest of that orbital window.
what we desperately need is a space janitor to creep along orbits and trap all the errant bolts, paint chips, and snattered rocket nacelles from all the decrepit crap floating about, endangering the space systems we have.
this is the reason that millions of americans are faster with the thumb than Buddy Rich with the drumsticks... you can't see the finger move as they type 30 zeroes in a row to escape the mumblebots.
I mean, they already have the malicious software removal tool, so they could blow the roots away if they wanted to. but what is really needed here is to block the rooting mechanism altogether.
or go back to the saner architecture of nt 3.0/3.1/3.5, where only the kernel and its designated MS helpers ran at level 0 to start with. the world started to go to hell when they allowed the video driver into level 0.
which is a big step forward towards doing what the megacopyright holders want... getting after the thugs who are stealing their content.
not the figurative street signs, phone booths, and waste cans that are getting in the way and getting whaled on by the megacopyright holders. for the YouTubes of the world are the equivalent of the graffito-ed walls, and the content theives are the real lawbreakers here.
suing the walls (server holders) is not an answer. it's a public tantrum.
one is, the bad social engineers are winning because the customers are dumber than rocks on click-here installs.
second, anything can run on your computer because we have defined all content good until proven otherwise -- but we can only stop entire sites or entire classes of content based on how it runs if we prove otherwise. custs then work around the controls, see #1 above.
lastly, nobody has even tried to stop embedded crap like loaders in jpg files or poison flash.
we need to start thinking of security as if we were warlords. your crap can't modify OS files -- and the OS can't modify OS files -- without going into a strictly protected mode, a ring-zero concept. and a lot of slop in standards that allows runtime stuff in ostensibly banal purty pictures has to be cleaned up on both the creation and execution sides.
I have, of course, discovered and documented both at work. prior art does exist.
wrong direction. push the redirects to trash.

to be more precise, all decent browsers allow blocking certain sites.
if you can detect a redirect to evilsite.domain, just create a "no-way" entry for evilsite.domain in the table. the ideal traceback code would allow you to hover over the bad site and ask if you want that site blocked.
one-and-done, that's how to fix the evil site guys. eventually ad servers that want to stay in business and log the site entries would start policing themselves.

all particle detectors are biased, and fussy.

nobody's working on it.
we will lose a LOT of technology because of it.

for languages that I cannot even pronounce, let alone read or write? that is krep I can dump immediately to save disk space and memory.
I can fake my way enough in english, french, german, and spanish to get along, thanks.
no, I'm not guessing which is supposed to be my native language, thanks. if nobody else can figure it out, why should I try? :-D

rats, doesn't work. you guys lie.
it has been identified as a pond of duck scum.
hahahahaha, kewl.
answer the door when we knock, don't make us mad.
you know, just like unix... very user friendly, but particular about its friends.
there is the little issue of China having electricity and India not, but apparently spies and lies count for more.
best free antivirus alternative = linux.
just sayin'...

can't we jab this vampire and release the evil? I have it, line the courtrooms with mirrors!

it seems a number of them were hijacked by some pirates who have been distributing them to would-be journalists.
