the big problem I see with GCE is that you can only assign one IP to an instance; so if you need, for example, a load balancer, you can't run your own. There is no support for Brocade, F5, Netscalers, etc in GCE, you have to use their LB-as-a-service which doesn't meet my company's needs (i.e., we need iRules)
Think about it; if M-class planets are so rare, and this alien species can fly faster-than-light to our planet, they likely want to take over our planet (and wipe us out in the process). Why else would they bother showing up?
Besides, the author makes a key logical fallacy; having information does not make one smarter, it makes you better informed. Just because you can instantly pull up the equation for gravity or the schematics of a rocket, doesn't mean you'll understand it.
by catching return codes to functions, and displaying their results back to the user.
If a function tries to open a file, and it fails, the OS will tell the program the reason and describe the failure; all you have to do it pass it along to the user.
such as:
open FILE, "filename.txt" or die $!;
The game which really needs a remake Is Tie Fighter. All time greatest space shooty, it just needs to be able to run on modern hardware without messing around with emulators.
If they have a T1 that can transfer 30 megabyte file in 0.5 seconds, they should be given a raise... my T1s only do 188 kilobytes/sec (1.544 megabit/sec).
From TFA: "For the transmission of passwords and PINs, for example, users can change seamlessly to soundless language and, hence, transmit confidential information in a tap-proof manner."
Um, not if there is a lip-reader in the same room, like a hearing-impaired person.

All things in moderation (we limit ourselves to 4 WoW nights a week)
I got a new job about 10 months ago.. during the interview, I asked about their benefits, and was told they were "pretty standard". Now, I learn how dishonest they were... health insurance is $850/month for family plan, and we only get 4 vacation days off a year (and only 5 paid holidays). No certification reimbursement, and they want to be able to call me on my personal cell phone after-hours.

If there is a stateful firewall between the sender and receiver, the firewall may block "unexpected" packets, such as those who's sequence numbers are off, or unrequested retransmits.
I'm a little ignorant on this, but aren't (most) satellites in a geo-sync orbit, so that their orbit doesn't decay and require the use of boosters (which have limited fuel)? If this is true, then the spy satellites were already over Mexico to start with.
Trust, but verify.
Forget a ram disk or a SSD drive; your operating system should cache frequently-accessed files in RAM anyway. So after the first time you read the file in, it'll be cached (barring memory pressure, of course). RAM is cheap, much cheaper than a SSD drive.
Maybe they sniffed something, but the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, which I'm sure someone as large as these guys must be forced to comply with and get regularly audited to, clearly requires all card-holder data be encrypted, either while on-disk or on-wire.

If they really want to fix the soloing problem AND the tank/healer shortage all at once, they need to make respecs free. My paladin has a great healing set, and a decent tanking set, and a meh ret set. I am not willing to drop 100G to respec prot and back again to tank some pug that'll likely suck anyway. I also can't afford to drop 100G to respec Retibution to do (some) better damage for soloing.
But if re-specing were free, or at least a heck of a lot cheaper, I might.
Maybe it didn't happen (as much) in the '50s because TV was less entertaining back then.
Then:
3 channels of fuzzy, black&white content without so much as a knee exposed, and certainly no sex and hardly any violence.
Now:
You get 500 channels of crystal-clear content, oft sprinkled with half-naked women, violence, and sex.

Maybe they won't, but I just paypal'ed them $10 (I've never even used OpenBSD, but I can't live without OpenSSH). Sure, its only $10, but if a thousand people send them $10 each, that's a good start.
Actually, Microsoft's OS *don't* have a built-in crash reporter for the OS; they report crashes of applications, which is totally different. A BSOD only hits the screen.
When your kernel is trashed, you can't trust your disk subsystem, networking subsytem, etc. to actually do what you told it to.
Actually, we block webmail because it *IS* a security vector; files that our lusers download from hotmail or yahoo's web mail system isn't checked for viruses/trojans before it enters the network (yes, we run AV software on each workstation, but blocking all exe's/etc at the MTA level is much safer). Our lusers could also use a webmail system for data theft.
Besides, they are at work to work, not to email their friends from their personal email accounts.

IPv6-enabled content is the first half... now to get a big ISP to enable it across all their systems (someone like Comcast, but more competent)
