Since they are gaining the advantage by translating English publications, then we need to write some software to translate them back! That way, for every document they translate, we will gain an equal number of documents back!
You should consider how much it costs the TSA for each terrorist they caught. Take that $14 billion, and divide it by the number of terrorists they've caught to date (0) since 9/11, and see how economical it has actually been. $14,000,000,000/0 = ?
Ummm, can someone do the math for me, my calculator doesn't have that enough digits.
Another case of lousy foreigners stealing American technology. Just like they stole our spacecraft and jet technology. And radar. Next thing you know, they'll have stolen our sushi and kung foo techniques too! At least we are assured that pizza and coffee will forever be known as ours!
Hide a sensor anywhere nearby, and you can read all the internal traffic.

How can any major portion be blamed on climate change? More corn, which has had one of the greatest price increases in the developing worlds, is being grown in greater quantities than ever before. The problem is that it is being diverted into ethanol production, where it is a very poor performer, and out of the food chain, where it is an excellent performer.
Corn is one of the worst materials to use in ethanol production. It generates very low quantities of fuel for the energy required to produce it. Some report that it takes more energy to create corn ethanol than you create. There are much better crops that could be used.
The only reason corn is so heavily used is politics. You can buy a lot of votes by raising the corn prices AND subsidizing corn ethanol production.

The original Byte was about hardware/software computer development. At that time, it was a useful introduction to interesting technologies, and remained so for many years. At some point, it switched to being just another product review magazine, which was not what the original audience was interested in. Since there were dozens of these already being published, it just faded into the background as just another generic joystick review magazine, as happened to Creative Computing some years earlier. There was nothing innovative or unique about it to attract anyone to it.
Sounds like they are trying to revive a dull, boring, copycat magazine, and are hoping that using an old name will attract enough curious readers long enough to reap some advertising dollars.

Isn't the US, and several other nations including Russia, under the MAD (mutually assured destruction) treaty, supposed to convert them to glass if they use nukes? And, would we actually do it under Obama's rule?
HURD might be finished if Linux hadn't attracted all the developer attention that wasn't going to the 386BSD derivatives.
HURD didn't go anywhere before Linux and the other free Unix derivites came on the scene, and even with all that code now available to steal from, it still hasn't gone anywhere. First time I heard about it, many years ago, they were arguing about which kernel to base it on. Last time I heard about it, they had gotten to the point that they were trying to decide which kernel to base it on. Guess where they will be 10 years from now.
power tower filled with salt, which is able to reach very high temperatures (over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit) and can hold heat for an extraordinary length of time.
Sounds like a great source for Global Warming. Why worry about a lousy 1C increase when they have 1000F right there!

Doesn't it amaze you the lengths that students will go to cheat on their tests? They are now engraving the answers in their hair.

They are obviously trying to determine if it is possible that a swallow (either African or European) would be able to carry a coconut to Britan.

Why should we trust someone who can't spell or punctuate a short post correctly to handle radioactive waste properly?
I think he must be buying it in a WOW auction. He'll probably do more damage there anyway.
You should be thinking of a muppet shark with a flashlight on its head. SHARKS IN SPACE!

4. Profit?
I'll bet the real reason is because they are getting tired of tests with the students name spelled wrong on them.
Aye donut think ewe dew.

It certainly took them long enough to figure that one out.
Was the first clue finding all of their emails on Wikileaks?
But what about the poor people who are losing the use of this head? Shouldn't they be offered a replacement of equal worth?
What do you do with a mumified head anyway? Open pop bottles? Ash tray? Candle holder? How far does "hey, wanna see a head" go anyway?

the company I work for just payed $19,000 for a SQL statement shorter than this very sentence.
Was it something like "DELETE FROM *"?
