Yes. That is called "being a sovereign nation". See, for example, Tibet. This is news?
Of course. It's politics: always a negative sum game. The question for Google is "Will we lose less by leaving than by staying?" How much China loses is none of their concern. The matter of censorship is between the Chinese people and their government.
What was the exact wording? Perhaps they thought that they were telling the dispatchers that a fall of less than six feet should be classified as category B.

A gross exaggeration, but the thing would have been leaky. However, as it was intended to fly over the Soviet Union dropping H-bombs, that hardly matters.
"Markup" is not about making notes in the margins. That's annotation. Markup is about marking up a manuscript with typesetting and formating instructions.

According to the articles, both.
You don't see any market for smaller cameras?
Unfortunately, most people consider "downloading some sort of onion thingy" to constitute "being a computer hacker".
I'd bet that most Chinese don't even know that there is censorship.

And you don't hear about other companies not going in or not expanding, either. But it will happen.
> Will they start actively trying to sabotage Chinese web efforts?
Why the hell would they do that? Google is a company, not a government.

The Chinese government could retaliate by driving Google out completely.
Only a minuscule fraction of the Chinese population ever finds the holes. The Chinese government doesn't really care about them.

And it isn't an "archy" either.

Surely the Dear Leader's title would seem less threatening.

Whoever picks up the phone. Hopefully it will not be one of our "leaders".

Nuclear power comes in one form: heat. Heat is what jet engines and rockets run on.
You need to read up on nuclear rockets.
This one is supersonic. Most others aren't, because it is not obvious what advantage supersonic cruise missiles have over ballistic ones.
BTW in the sixties the USA developed but never tested or deployed a nuclear powered supersonic cruise missile.

I have an Onyx with System III. That's old.

Serial cables don't have hardware error checking pins. I think you mean handshaking.

Not really. It's an Altos, not a modern pc.

Linux. If you don't have a non-crippled motherboard buy a USB-serial converter.
He needs to use uucp, not cu. UUCP stands for "Unix to Unix Copy" and it means exactly what it says. Yes, there is a uucp command in the UUCP package.
It'll take a few hours at 9600 baud. It's your best bet. Let it run over night and the job is done.
He claimed he "coded" on the tram.
