This was a TEST well, not a producing well. It was in the process of being CAPPED OFF so they could move the rig and drill more test wells. It has no bearing on oil used for gasoline or anything else.
I've created some click-n-run templates that generate reports management demands on seeing. THEY are command-line challenged. My stuff is already 90% automated.
What are the average wait times around the world? I had a cornea transplant in the U.S. and my doctor wanted to find the best compatible tissue. Total wait time was 2 weeks from my (and my insurance) saying "do it" and him getting the tissue and actually doing the surgery.
Honestly, with this first being performed in 1905 and being the single most common transplant surgery done in the world, I expected that in any industrialized nation there was an ample supply of donor tissue. In non-industrialized nations I'm not sure the artificial tissue would be any cheaper, but I guess it obviates the need for a donor-bank-recipient network. Just place your order and await FedEx.
The question is, how much of a premium would you be willing to pay for that? If you're going to be replacing labor that costs $0.25 per hour with labor that costs $8.00 per hour, most products will see a large rise in cost.
Correct. I was addressing why the U.S. gov't doesn't have laws against this, and why Facebook permitted it in the first place. Also, this addresses why the U.S. is never behind those proposed "do not offend or blaspheme" UN resolutions.
I was unclear about the relationship of Facebook and the law.
In the U.S. the laws of Man far outrank the laws of Religion. The U.S. Constitution, Article VI states:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwith-standing.
In simple terms, this means in the U.S. the Constitution outranks the Bible, Koran, Vedas, Egyptian Book of the Dead and any other religious law or rule. And, in the U.S., Freedom of Speech includes the right to offend and blasphemy. It may be rude, but it is there to prevent the slippery slope of censorship, lesse majesty and, essentially, newspeek. Being occasionally offended is a small price to pay to not having to worry about being thrown in jail for calling the President/King/Mullah an dick, and the government a corrupt bunch of money-grubbing assholes.
Well, the first phase of this project is supposed to connect New York to Chicago and Ashburn, VA. Level 3's headquarters in in Ashburn, VA. So, you might be on to something.

Uh, no. This was a test well that was in the process of being capped when it exploded. It wasn't a performing well. BP would have needed to drill again anyway to get the oil.
The "fixes" were being prepared in parallel and what were technically the easiest and quickest to prepare went first.

Never would I have thought to see those words strung together in that way. The end is near. (Or you're delusional. This being Slashdot, odds are the latter.)
Even with that in the contract, I fail to see how a "we may change these terms at any time and make them retroactive" isn't the very definition of "unconscionable", and thus unenforceable.
It is called subtlety. Specifically a rhetorical question pointing out what is frequently perceived as hypocrisy by many. Yes, it has been pointed out before but since the behavior continues the pointing continues.
What you're suggesting could have been accomplished much more effectively by the method used by many observant Jews and written as "G-d". A more humorous approach would have been to insert a quick visual of one of Monty Python's images of God smiting someone from Holy Grail, essentially a visual metonym. But totally ignoring it was simply an act of cowardice and hypocrisy.
Someone explain to my why whomever it was felt it was okay to transcribe half the curse words in the English language, but had to leave out "God Damn"?
Fuck him like a bitch is okay. Mutherfuckaaa is okay. All the rest is okay, but "God Damn" is censored?
Personally, I'll bet it is the counterfeiting that irritates them most. The gov't hates competition.
From the article:
The problem is that accomplices can remotely wipe the phones if the agencies don't remember to remove the battery or turn off smartphones before sending them off to the forensics laboratory, he said.
Fortunately, the person in the article isn't wanting anything done about it other than agents remembering to do this. Nothing to this article, other than the guy saying "sometimes we forget to do this and it is a pain. Don't forget."
I will agree that we handled it badly. However, I think the part that went badly was waiting too long to take action when it was clearly warranted long before.
I agree. We shouldn't have been letting them know in advance where inspections were going to happen, nor ask permission to enter areas. The very first time the Iraqis refused with a "this is an off-limits Presidential Palace" the inspectors should have showed back up the next day with an armored division and not bothered to knock.
You even admitted it yourself when you attempted to claim that WMDs are completely made up.
I didn't claim WMDs were made up. I claimed the term was designed to create a vague uncertainty that left plenty of wiggle room for the powers that be. You corrected me in where the term came from, but I stand by my claim that the term was used in the method I described in talking to the public. In the vernacular, WMDs means "nuclear weapons".
Don't put words in my mouth. I have NO qualms about the U.S. relationship with Kuwait, nor any quibbles with the justification of GW1. I didn't say a thing about oil, nor will I. We came to the defense of an ally.
My claim of the "difference" with Iraq is this -- Iraq posed no serious threat of retaliation to ANYONE or ANYTHING we cared about. They were, for all intents and purposes, impotent against the U.S. Korea, on the other hand, is within spitting distance of S. Korea and Japan. Any military strike there could quite possibly mean death and destruction in the tens of thousands of non-participants and allies.
We -- the U.S. -- aren't in a position to do anything about India or Pakistan without starting WW3. They're essentially off limits.
Iraq was opportune. Not only were they essentially impotent, but we already had all the logistics, troops and battle information in place from GW1. It was convenient. If we weren't set up, ready to go, I doubt it would have ever happened.
Actually, it takes LESS code. They probably wrote a sloppy bit of code to grab a few seconds of packets, then filtered out SSIDs later. Probably just a Perl script hooking into libpcap and dumping to a file.

And if they aren't going to sell it, exactly what do people think they would do with it?
Can a government be held to account for not paying for something it orders within 3-4 days?
Although it may seem like it sometimes, BP is *NOT* a government. They are a trans-national corporation.

No, sorry. :-)

The Nessus web interface is done in flash and fairly nice. Is there an alternative for the command-line challenged?
It seems you missed this story on the first commercially available jetpacks back in March.
