And no matter how hard they try to sue me, if I don't have anything of theirs on my computer, there's really not much they can do about it, now, is there?
Well, they could try to get laws passed forcing all internet users to pay them $5 per connection - I mean, such a concept got rave reviews here on social^h^h^h^h^h^hslashdot yesterday.
The question is, do they have the "right" to throttle specific applications, or visits to specific (i.e. competitor's) offerings? For example, Comcast, as you may know, offers their own email system - if it's ok to throttle certain kinds of traffic why would it not be ok to throttle access to non-comcast email? I also believe Charter was throttling bittorrent traffic - it suddenly got smooth as silk when the FCC begain investigating Comcast.

MySQL has indeed supported... subqueries... since 2005
Its support of subqueries has severely poor performance when multiple rows are returned in the inner SELECT(s), as I found (again) yesterday.
I'd be willing to bet that a house of representatives with 10,000 people would never even manage to fund the government, let alone get any other business done.
If someone's blood vessel is plugged up with cholesterol, wouldn't a snake get stuck and kill them? And if they break the chunk off that could easily cause a stroke. Plus a big snake stuck in your heart doesn't sound too safe either.
Perhaps such concerns are why it's recommended that this be done under the supervision of a doctor, instead of at the back room at your local fried chicken joint...
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was the eventual deciding vote, saying that affirmative action is still needed in America -- but hoped that its days are numbered. "We expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary to further the interest approved today."
So, if a racial preference is called "affirmative action", then it's ok - but if it's called a "quota", it's not... glad that's been cleared up.

While the majority of crashes are attributed to human error, it's not all pilot error - frequently some error is made in the ground-based maintenance process, air-traffic mis-guidance, etc. However, the thing that we don't have much data on is what percentage of safe flights were made only because the pilot was present when some significant mechanical problem arose. That said, one of the first things taught to any pilot is to remain calm during an unexpected situation - don't start reacting immediately - analyze first. Computers are generally excellent at following directions, and modern sensors are excellent at determining the various events occurring. Unmanned, even autonomous aircraft are a natural extension of this - it's actually much easier to maneuver in the air, given the extra dimensions (lateral movement is often not available on the ground for example, as running off the road may be a worse option than "riding through" the crash). Additionally, it'll be a long time before there is sufficient aircraft airborne to saturate any sort of autonomous routing algorithm - the weakness is our belief that we need to control everything from centralized and ground-based locations - a requirement that such aircraft have reliable position beacon systems that other aircraft can reliably see would go a long way to ensuring no collisions.
Additionally, there are relatively very few unmanned aircraft presently - I don't find it statistically remarkable at all that no collision has occurred.

By your definition then, the use of a large-scale EMP "weapon" at high altitude over a country, such as the US, rendering useless all the non-hardened electrical devices in the country, would not qualify as war - after all it doesn't cross your "bright-line" requirement of widespread killing. Disregard the incredible chaos and economic loss that would follow - no one died from the pulse - other than a few unlucky pacemaker wearers.
Death that accompanies violent[1] action is incidental to a military objective[2] - whether that be the destruction of a telephone switching station being used, or even possible for use, for the passing of military command and control, or if it be the killing of a specific person who's filling a key position in an organization's structure - the fact that a person was killed or not doesn't make it an act of war - it's the intent and objective that is sought by the action that does.

I would think the first step would be to boost the planet to an orbit further away from the sun. Speeding up it's orbit would do that, but I wonder if anyone conceived of a method of doing so?

Yes, money always gets taken seriously by elected officials.

You cannot just let everyone use it -- there would be a lot of interference.
