I think what they mean to say is that the point on the Earth that the asteroid will be directly over at closest approach is in the vicinity of Singapore, not the asteroid itself.
How quaint, but 100% cost overruns are nothing. Look at something like the F-22, or Boston's Big Dig project if you want to see what real runaway costs look like.
And hey, come to think of it what am I doing spending my money on rent and food when I could be buying lottery tickets? Obviously winning a hundred million dollars and retiring to my own private island is way better then just eating and staying warm.
What sort of definition of the word "buggy" are you using in reference to the operation of the universe? The universe is how it is. Saying it is buggy assumes that it is not operating the way it ought to be, a judgment I don't think you or anyone else could possibly make.
I also don't see how the laws of physics could evolve. How would the mechanism of natural selection work here?
I'm betting New York, California, and Pennsylvania are near the top because they're among the most highly populated states. I would be interested in seeing the per capita numbers, those numbers would make comparisons much more revealing. For instance while the US has the highest total number of take-down requests, per million people the US has about 14 requests compared to the UK which has about 22 request per million people.
Not necessary, but nice to have. I've only used flash maybe half a dozen times in the several months since I've had it on my phone. But those half a dozen times, it was really nice to have the option.
Solar power does work great for plants, but I wouldn't say they are better at energy production then us. Plants are only able to convert about 5% of the light that hits them into energy. That low efficiency is adequate for them only because their energy requirements are so low. They barely move, and they don't have complex, power hungry brains.
There are plenty examples of devices that nowadays break down faster than in the past. Good for the economy, but useless nonetheless.
That's the broken window fallacy. Building products that are unreliable is not good for the economy as a whole. At best it may be good for the person making the product (depending on how discerning their customers are).
What on earth are you talking about? Unless something was changed by HTC in the browser that ships with the Sense UI you most certainly can disable flash in the Android Browser in Froyo.

Right. I figured that was the extent of your insight. Just wanted to make sure.
That's Google HK, I'm pretty sure HK's internet was never censored.
And please don't pretend to be a Chinese expert. We (Chinese) know your kind, and we know why you live in China. We despise you.
Care to share your insight on why he lives in China?
Wow, when you put it that way it's so obvious.

I'm a bit curious, could you explain how powershell encourages screen-scraping for those of us who've never had to deal with that beast.

While it's true a government operated CCTV can be found in the homes of most Chinese people, I don't think it is what you think it is.
The BBC article had a link to the map beneath the article, but yeah the link wasn't as prominent as it should have been.

Oklahoma City is wondering why you think domestic "terrorism" is different from traditional "blow-shit-up" terrorism?
He said real world scenario. Can you really say interview's aren't contrived situations?
Which is cheaper - the army surrounding the bottle, or paying to have a support net to catch the stupid when they fall?
Paying for the support net is obviously cheaper.
Are you sure that's what happened? I'm pretty sure they mandated a target efficiency so that energy efficient incandescent bulbs are still allowed.
Who says? Isn't that up to whatever you're running on the phone?
It seems they are talking about recording 1080p, not viewing 1080p. You don't have to view your recorded videos on the phone.

Hmm, I see your point. It should be wrong, but it seems like our government is getting better and better at finding loopholes in the constitution.
Oh yes, that's true. That makes sense.

If there was no time before the big-bang, then there was no change and thus no big bang would have been possible. That would be my guess at least.
But Wikileaks isn't being singled out for their benefit, it is punitive which would make this a Bill of Attainder, which is illegal.
