Yeah. What music snobs don't understand is that not everyone listens to music in a soundproof room, with perfectly placed speakers. We listen to it in our cars, on our bike, in public transportation, at home with a screeching baby next to it, etc... Perfect quality is useless in all those cases. And even detrimental: I turn off the bass most times so as to keep said baby asleep. I'd rather have 100 low res mp3 I can squeeze on a car CD, than 5 completely oversampled raw files I can't actually play anywhere besides a PC.
Having lived it, I can assure you there is a great big difference between -40C (not that cold with good clothing), -60C (fucking cold even with good clothing) and -80C ("my lungs are freezing and I feel like I've just fallen in a pool of liquid nitrogen argh cough cough cough")...
A colleague got crushed in a very similar accident a decade ago. As an electrician he was servicing a damaged robot in a factory (frozen food warehouse actually) when some suit decided to turn it back on without checking first. He got multiple fractures and almost lost a foot. And a nice settlement.
Half of the people at work (research lab) have been using Ubuntu for the last few years. The others are on Macs. The choice of OS is left open. Windows (XP) runs almost exclusively in a few virtual machines kept on tight leashes.
Get a Dell. The Linux option is well hidden on their site, but I had no problem getting an M6700 with tons of funky options (keyboard different from the country I ordered it from). We order Linux laptops from them at work, but I also did as a private customer. Yeah, I know, Dell is not sexy, but all the Linux laptop companies (System76 and others) couldn't get me what I wanted (I'm not in the US).
I believe a simple solution to that is to use higher tax rates the richer you get, to keep you from accumulating wealth without limit. There has to be a point of diminishing returns which should be fixed by careful consideration by economists and politicians, and certainly not by lobbyists for the housing/renting/construction industry.
The situation is not as symmetric as you imply because of the vastly different budgets. And I'd much rather see the budget of the NSA targeted at finding and FIXING security holes rather than exploiting them and letting them be also discovered by others, possibly even more evil. And also it would be cheaper for allies to collaborate efficiently than to spy on each others.
As someone who has climbed El Cap 4 times, I can say that it's not going to feel quite the same watching it in 3D than to actually do it. Eating vs watching foodies pics? Being in love vs watching porn?
Bullshit. You can have for instance separate busses: internal secure (for anything critical), internal unsecure (read-only, so info like speed can be read by others), external unsecure (car stereo, etc). You can even have them all on the same copper with the proper subnetting.
I have a perfect example here at work. After we installed a Wifi relay in the lobby, the idi^H^Hperson manning the entrance started taking sick days after sick days, claiming the wifi was making her sick. Problem was, it wasn't activated yet (building installation wasn't finished), but since it was already powered, it was blinking. Then we activated it and placed a piece of black tape on the LEDs, told her 'Fine, we won't be using it then', and all was fine.
Ever hear a badly injured person screaming from the pain? It's a weird high pitched and very disturbing keen. They might give you a hundred dollars just to knock them unconscious.
I used StartSSL to obtain a certif for my small website when they came up. Spent a while to learn the procedure. A year later I had to redo it all when it expired. Pain in the ass, so I gave up. There should be either: long duration certificates (just like you can get a domain for 10 years), or a shell script that you can cron on your server that will renew automatically yearly.

"Men delay" ? Is that to manage premature ejaculation ?!?
In order not to turn the place into a circus, like has happened in other radio observatories...
So, how do they keep all the 'electrosensitive' crackpots from moving in ? Put random blinking LEDs in the area ?

The more I read about that crazy airplane, the crazier it gets...
It must have been close to stalling at this speed !
It's not like classical music doesn't have its own skeletons in its closets: Lick my ass, by Mozart nonetheless.

Yes, but not for long. Lunar orbits are inherently unstable because of the overwhelming influence of the mass of the Earth.
17 ? More lige 1,271 different secret gov agencies. Why are there so fucking many ?!?
I liked 'The White Plague', about an artificial disease that wipes out all women... and the crumbling society that remains.

Spot on, but also in the US trucks are cheaper than the equivalent SUV. Different tax on purchase for 'utilitarian' vehicles.

This aptly describes my ex's first orgasm ever.

Can you imagine crime in Alaska: "what were you doing in the night from november 1st to february 15th ?"
Ask for a new one. Say you're not suing them for the soot in the apartment. Problem solved.
WTF is a 401K ?!? Can't you speak English ?
