Well, you're almost right. See, the English are a bunch of pussies and they run the country by suppressing the Irish (who made up most the convicts you mention).
Gah. Are you retarded or what? The whole fucking point of the article is that the Cuban government wants to be able to look for back doors in the software. They're not relying on the open source community being "more aware and quicker to patch said vulnerabilities", at all. This is simply a case of Cubans saying "why are we running software we can't even inspect?"
The Russians put sweet fuck all into their space program. They put about as much into their military as the US did. The difference is that they didn't have a functioning economy. They did all this shit in a command economy. That's like fighting a title bout with your hands tied behind your back.. impressive if you can hold your own, but no-one would call it sensible.
Expecting government contractors to do anything more than provide the bare minimum to get the next contract is foolish.
The whole point of Apollo was that nothing fundamentally *new* was required. "All" that was needed was to put the existing technology together. The same cannot be said of RLVs.
I've quietly informed people that they're wrong when they've said it and had them go? Oh, really? Didn't know that. No argument. They *knew* they were just repeating an unfounded rumor.
Dude, MS quotes are always exactly the same. "We're leveraging our IP and that makes us still a winner, even though we can't seem to ship a product that anyone actually wants, you should buy our stock." They could have sold Google an air strip and they'd say that.
Does anyone actually know what was licensed here? Was there even a patent involved or is this journalist just expecting sense to spew out of the mouth of a Microsoft executive when he should know better?
Ya kidding me right? We did differentiation and integrals in high school. That was, ooh, a good 15 years ago now. But hey, we weren't allowed calculators, and I hear primary school kids regularly use calculators these days, so meh.
You got suckered. See, the trick here is to claim that location X is far worse than where-ever you are, so you shouldn't complain. While you're muttering on about the logical fallacy they're over there laughing that you actually believed have even left their home town. Zimbabwe is no more a "police state" than anywhere else. In many ways the people of Zimbabwe are more free than the people of China.. they're just poorer.
Even the dullest high school student has a memory that makes us adults seem slow. There is exactly one way to motivate teenagers: tell them they are not "ready", although telling them they are "not allowed" has a similar effect. With that in mind I recommend you give one or two of them a copy of All the Mathematics You Missed But Need to Know for Graduate School, and suggest they pass it onto someone else if they find it "too hard". It's a great book that gives a quick skim over all the different fields of mathematics that a graduate student in mathematics is expected to know. A typical college student will read this book, shake their head and decide that maybe graduate school isn't for them. A typical high school student, even one not interested in math, will read this book and decide that mathematics is awesome and maybe they should pay attention in class, because if they can't grasp differential linear equations then they're never going to understand Lebesgue integration and infinite Fourier series.
The vast majority of people don't do anything but that. Considering all the positive ways a particular technology can be used is left for the "technologists".

Clearly, you've never read a W3C standard. No-one likes them.
Because W3C standards have become functionally indistinguishable from articles on The Onion?
The poster boy for turncoats.
Microsoft wants to crush Flash, Novell is happy to oblige.
When those pundits said that one day Microsoft would go open source, I'm sure they didn't have this in mind.
It hurts my brain.
Wow, you're right! Shit, how did they miss this! And this is just a new phenomenon too!

Bwahaha.. that'd be all of them.
Please, do tell us these other ways of discovering back doors, we'll wait.

There's a different between engineering and research.

I also heard Obama is a Muslim?
Boy, that one stuck.

Yup, and golf is a sport. Golfers are athletes.
Keep going, you almost had a fresh prince going there.

Hey! Not anymore. I apologized to ESR and everything!

Cybersecurity is a military term. All military terms are honky, it's the style.
Or is there something you know about Melissa that we don't?
Her parents were stranded on a tropical island you insensitive clod.
And what high school students study ODE?

Umm.. the material likely *is* too hard for them. You're not tricking them at all.. you're just giving them the opportunity to accept the challenge.

I win. I work from home.
aka "be more poor".
You're the kind of person that recommends starving people just eat less.
