Just remember, if you see someone dissing on twitter, that is still twitter, trying to drum up more attention. Ignore him and maybe he'll get bored and go away. Mod parent up!
Yes, the summary is correct: the preview is available now. However, it's been available for at least a year and a half, and perhaps much longer than that. I can't remember exactly when it was put up; I visited it almost immediately after it appeared, but was quickly disenchanted with the supplied content and ended up using the original A&S for my grad school work.
The reason why we get laws proposed that have glaring flaws is that those flaws are often what is wanted. The great majority of people does either not care or swallows the snakeoil and the promise of safety, simply because they were never taught to contemplate "what could possibly go wrong".
It's pretty much how Homer put it. We elect politicians so we don't have to think. Unfortunately, he's not alone with this point of view. Which Homer is that? The Homer who wrote the Iliad and atrachomyomachia and who was considered by the Greeks to have given them their Classical culture, or the one who gave us "D'OH!" and "C'mon, Marge! Less artsy, more fartsy!"
Interesting, because at the DoE- (mainly) and DoD- (partly) funded lab at which I work, Linux and Unix (and things like OSX) users are given much *less* scrutiny than those using Windows.
How does the government disseminate whether threats of attack are legitimate or just hoaxes? I suspect that should be "determine", not "disseminate", but either is an interesting question.
Without diving into details that compromise security [...] Thank goodness you put that reminder in there, or he might have given away cooties rat semen!
except while the temperature of the corona is about 6-10 orders of magnitude higher than a typical (terrestrial) flame, the density is a couple of hundred orders of magnitude lower than that flame. I do not think it means what you think it means.

It's a moot issue. Supernatural ability is the real issue, not the existence of a person. Many if not most myths are based on actual people anyhow. Guess it depends on how "supernatural" something is allowed to be without existing.
I missed all of the general-audience talks which have been given at LANL so far about Roadrunner, but this makes me want to try a bit harder at making it to some of them:
If enough people want to tag a story that way, then so be it, but the ending note ("some of the linked (computer-generated) images may be disturbing.") should be sufficient to put you on guard. Around here, certain links won't only put you on guard, they'll put a guard (or more) on you. If you're really unlucky, maybe in you. Just to forestall the almost inevitable cliché, no, I'm not in Soviet Russia.
Clearly, however, the fraction is the more important metric.
No, that's not clear. That's only even plausible if you restrict all of the sites you ever interact with to ones with a certain domain. No one does that.
When I taught labs, I would point out mistakes in spelling (and, of course, minor ones in math), but for these things students didn't get dinged. It was when they were inconsistent from one misspelling (or correct spelling!) to the next that it really started to irk me.
Not only is your post wrong, it's not even internally consistent. To wit: This is a test of predictions from certain types of quantum gravity not of General Relativity. The equivalence principle of GR says there shouldn't be a difference. This is essentially a test of the equivalence principle. You've just said "This won't test A, it will test B. It will test part of A."
The story I've heard (from one who worked closely on the Glomar project) is that:
1) An early SOSUS network picked up a rather large "thump" from a region of the ocean in which the rogue sub was suspected to be. Using the SOSUS data is how people were able to find the wreckage in the first place;
2) Recovered was part of the hull, which proved to be very pitted along its top surface, and Russian sailor corpses, who were wearing heavy coats of the type *worn when fuelling missiles*;
3) Simulations done at-sea later, with high-explosives, indicates that the pitting and deformations of the hull were probably left there when something exploded *above* the sub;
4) Postulations abound, but one making the rounds is that a nuclear warhead launched from the sub exploded above it, essentially forcing the entire sub underwater. When the sub reached its crush depth, the distinctive sound that the hull makes when collapsing is what SOSUS picked up.
I haven't read the fictionalized accounts about the whole incident. All that I report here I have heard from one who worked with Craven, and I don't know how much is hearsay or simply good storytelling.
When the generators which power those things lie still, their steel shafts warp under their own weight. Even when the generators aren't being spun to create the electricity, they have to spin (albeit more slowly) to make sure they don't bend. Wicked cool stuff.

Not restricted to Linux (Windows and OSX versions available too); a great game!
Heeeyyyy.... wait.....
Huh. At least 2001: http://cio.nist.gov/esd/emaildir/lists/opsftalk/msg00011.html

Oops. Batrachomyomachia.

And Spiderpig. Can't forget that one.

That's only true after Middle English arose with the Norman Conquest. This particular point was much easier in Old English!
Ha. That's what "you" is for. We just need to bring back "thou" for the singular.

Great effort, though, editors.
Hehehe.

It was just fixed. Now all of the posts pointing out the original misspelling will be dinged as "redundant" or "offtopic". w00t!
Das ist Ganz Falsch

Just tried it. Wanted to read its documentation. Realized too late that 'man goosh' was a really poor choice of phrase, but just got

help: goosh
Error: command "goosh" not found.
Phew!

So I guess a "customer" in this case is a company or business, not an individual? Unless many of the individuals have several servers each.
