This might have been the case before. But now getting a G+ account appears to be as easy as thinking of a pseudonym more creative than John Doe. One thing I discovered is that I can actually change the name I used to create my gMail account into something else. So if I signed up as Iman Idiot, I can create a G+ account as Ima Troll.
Bigger numbers are easier to relate to. Let's be honest, which gadget would you rather buy, one with a 4000 mAh battery or another with a 16Wh battery? Simple consumer mathematics will tell you the 4000 mAhssive battery 250 x better than the 16 Whatever battery.
OP wanted to send objects out of the solar system. He didn't say in one piece. Then again you can think of all those Hollywood stunts where the hero jumps onto an oncoming truck or train. So in principle it should be survivable with some monstrous shock absorbers.
All Bills of Rights have "escape clauses" that limit the rights of an individual when they appear to threaten public order, national security etc. There's not going to be much difference in the bill of rights of a totalitarian country and an open and democratic country. The rights exist only so long as there are people willing to fight for them, whether in word or deed.
According to the Ars-ticle this is supposed to be "the first version of the Firefox browser that does not use the Gecko layout engine, instead using iOS's built-in WebKit-based layout engine". How soon before Mozilla ditches desktop Gecko as well?
We'd have to grab it or land on it...which means we'd have to match its speed...which means we'd be going fast enough to do this anyway, so why bother grabbing a comet?
This makes Newtonian sense, however I can think of one scenario where we don't need speed up to the comet. Place the spacecraft on its path. Basically instead of trying to catch the comet, we let the comet catch up with us. Not recommended for humans or delicate equipment.
You forgot to mention Facebook, since that's email for more people than the aliases and multiple accounts served by Google and Microsoft. What we need is a truly decentralized communication system.
Your argument assumes that asteroids are all made of hard material. But if the asteroid is made of loose or soft materials, mining could directly or indirectly cause the asteroid to break apart, and this could lead to complications with #4 since our ability to predict the asteroid's path would go from large bowling ball to colliding billiard balls. Detailed scientific study of the target can fix the problem, so there's still a need for government oversight to ban missions to dangerous asteroids.
This problem can be remedied using a mesh or fence of mini-subs spread across a wide area, where an alert from one mini-sub would trigger the monitoring of the next sub along the line. With this approach you can even go virtually fuel-less, just ride out the ocean waves like a jellyfish or naval mine.
But just today all news sites over Germany reported that the German BND (the direct successor of the Nazi "Organization Gehlen") has been spying on allies, too, including France and German(!) diplomats.
I can't see the point of your Nazi reference. The Federal Republic of Germany can also be considered the direct successor of Nazi Germany. It's probably more accurate to describe the Gehlen as a CIA program that recruited former members of the Nazi military in much the same way that the US military and later the space program used scientists who were active in the German war effort.
This isn't about 'a bunch of guys chatting', it is about actual crimes. And if there is more than one person involved then, by definition, it is a conspiracy.
I'm not implying the suspects shouldn't be prosecuted. All I'm saying is that prosecuting the case the wrong way, even if it leads to the correct result, might have serious implications for us all. Not all crimes are felonies, and not all felonies are punishable by jail time that exceeds the election cycle. Conspiracies are prosecuted as felonies and also lead to longer jail times than when a crime is committed by an individual.
A more concrete example, the TPP has vague provisions for "commercial scale" infringement. Clearly one individual pirating a single movie isn't commercial scale, but what about 10,000 individuals? Now suppose a clever law enforcement official manages to link these 10,000 John Does together as a conspiracy, then their individual acts of piracy become commercial scale.
I think a fusion of the two ideas would be better. If you separate the search from the destroy function, you can have smaller, dolphin-size drones forward-deployed to search for the enemy. When it finds something, it "radios" back to the mother drone or the crew of a manned submarine, who will then decide whether to attack or continue surveillance.
It's probably in the prosecutors' interest to portray the suspects as a "ring" or "criminal enterprise", but how sure are we that this isn't just the hardcore criminal equivalent of Anonymous? Do a bunch guys chatting online and exchanging info about security weaknesses already constitute a conspiracy?

Or you can focus on the file containing the topic likely to be of most interest to Slashdot readers: intellectual property. A quick search through the chapter turned up the following section on the public domain:
Article 18.15: Public Domain
1. The Parties recognise the importance of a rich and accessible public domain.
2. The Parties also acknowledge the importance of informational materials, such
as publicly accessible databases of registered intellectual property rights that assist in
the identification of subject matter that has fallen into the public domain.
The agreement merely asks countries to "recognise" [sic] and "acknowledge" the importance of the public domain. This contrasts with the provisions on copyright and patents, which demand compliance in many instances, including the following example on "Criminal Procedures and Penalties" (Art. 18.77):
Each Party shall provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied at
least in cases of wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyright or related rights piracy on a commercial scale.
The definition of "commercial scale" is particularly troubling: "significant acts, not carried out for commercial advantage or financial gain, that have a substantial prejudicial impact on the interests of the
copyright or related rights holder in relation to the marketplace."
Animals, or at least mammals, are basically female. That's why it's possible to survive without a Y chromosome. So everybody, even extremely violent criminals with multiple Y chromosomes, has an inner woman.
So why do aspie men have so much trouble finding them?
I have a theory. These men actually do run into their opposite number, but because they both have lower than average empathy, their meeting turns into a tragedy of errors. Maybe she mistakes his attempt to make conversation as sexual harassment, or maybe he mistakes his sexual harassment as still normal male dating behavior.
While the claim is extraordinary, the idea behind it isn't new, at least as a science fictional concept. I remember first reading about a vacuum drive in Arthur C. Clarke's Songs of Distant Earth, (c) 1986. In his acknowledgements, he credits a certain Shinichi Seike with providing the theoretical basis for the idea in a paper written in 1969 titled "Quantum electric space vehicle". Interestingly, I can't find any mention of Shinichi Seike in Wikipedia either as a standalone article or by typing in the name in the Wikipedia search form, which should turn up results for pages that contain both "Shinichi" and "Seike". Other references to him on the English language Internet appear mostly in poorly formatted web sites suggestive of the rebel science community
Of course they could have anticipated the arrival of the submachine gun. The shoulder-fired rocket is, I suppose, significantly less obvious. However, it was presaged by a number of rocket weapons, including the Korean Hwacha, employed against the Japanese in the 1590s. Europeans became aware of rocket technology "thanks" to the Mongols, and the first iron-cased rockets were successfully developed and used in 1792 by rulers of the Kingdom of Mysore in India against British East India Company forces. And no, I didn't know any of these specifics without looking them up:p
I doubt the Founding Fathers had access to Wikipedia. But yes, the image I get from the word "arms" is that it's any sort of weapon that you can carry in your "arms".
Probably the reason the kill ratio in land combat has mostly been in US favor. Here you get what's effectively the largest reserve army in the world, larger than the official armies of countries with stricter gun control laws.
