The critical step to this "unlimited budget via the back door" is to bring the new system up, regardless of how far away from actual completion and stability it is, then immediately shut down the old systems, shred the hard drives and dispose of the hardware, so that no one can ever contemplate returning to the old system as a standby.
That's funny, because it's exactly what they did when they overhauled the Canadian federal employee payroll service (Phoenix). There are now egregious failures with the new system: unpaid employees, overpaid employees and incorrect amounts in year-end income tax documents.
Imagine receiving triple your salary, making sure to keep the extra money aside, because it *will* have to be reimbursed. And to add insult to injury, pay income tax on that huge amount, then fight CRA to have your tax return revised when the correction finally gets applied.
Have you seen Star Trek Continues? [...] The guy who plays Kirk in Continues has it down to perfection, every mannerism, speech pattern, facial expression. [...]
He also does a hilarious Zapp Brannigan cameo, in a recent Futurama live-action fan film.
Unfortunately that $5 wrench can also be used to shatter the memory card into thousand of fine silicon particles. PKI doesn't help protect against that.
Any Dev AI exposed to actual end users requirement documents would promptly crash and lock-up, much like the Norman android or Nomad probe of Star Trek.
Watney is playing all that in a soundstage somewhere in Nevada. That's why gravity is all wrong. It's all a plot to increase NASA funding and to stick it to the Russkies....
I'm sorry, that was the plot to Capricorn One. Carry on.
I could see a lossy algorithm for HTML / JS that eliminates lengthy tags and inefficient structures, perhaps even perform code optimization on heavily JS-infested pages, while rendering identically to the original. The result of course would look nothing like the source and couldn't easily be reconstructed.
Your stuff stays stowed below 10,000 feet so you don't get tangled up in your earbuds, tablet, Ken Follet paper brick as your trying to exit the plane should the unthinkable happens.

There are 2 types of people in the world. Those that understand binary and those that don't.
10 types perhaps ;-)
What about the other 8?
So the true purpose of the Large Hadron Collider is to rectify the situation.
"Yes, I know about the nurse, but who's the doctor?"
"Doctor Nourse"
"He can't be a doctor and a nurse at the same time."
"No, he's the doctor. Doctor Nourse."
"That doesn't make any sense!"
Amazon.ca is now shipping using Intelcom express. My delivery was fine and on time, but lots of people have reported bad experiences with them.
Their shipment tracking page just looks like an email feedback form. I don't think they have an publicly accessible tracking system yet.
I've found that i can right click on a tab to close it when it's been hijacked by models.
Is that the one where one goes down on you while the other steals your wallet? Because I already heard that one.

Looks like Dr. Nichols finally figured out the dynamics of that matrix.

13.7us means about 4km of position error, so yeah, a big deal.

It's not the safety drill that is the issue here.
