Also the fact that they are so slow that they indeed can interact with pedestrian have the feeling of the noble who doesn't get down from horse to ask a puny peasant his direction.
But you don't understand, you pedo-terrorist, that now families have access to the Internet !
Of course you don't understand, like me you probably were already browsing before puberty. You have to understand that some ministers started browsing after menopause...
I would be surprised the panel did not consider that. And yet, they recommend science, not stunts. The Mars rovers were the pretexts for the mars orbiters who did the real science. It is not mutually exclusive. But the policy must be science-based, not stunt based. The difference is in asking "what kind of cool mission can we design while testing space-building technology in L1 ?" instead of "What kind of science can we do while landing a man on Mars ?".
To be honest, I prefer that the NASA disappears completely if all it does fund is space cowboy stunts.
My dwarf fortresses tend to have 50% of females, but I must say, we are biased against goblins and elves. Though not completely, they have their uses : their bones provide raw materials for our beautiful crafts!
Ok, sorry, I only know old theories about BIOS.After reading the (justly) outraged answers I looked a bit more in depth and... I was bewildered. The goal of the BIOS is mainly to start a bootloader. Sure it can be flashed, but this is the last piece of software where manufacturers want to put bugs. I was taught that BIOS focused on simplicity and small size.
I had somewhere in the back of my head a sticky note saying that BIOS could be a dangerous part of closed source, but until today I did not realize at which point. 4 MB of code ? Closed source and executed without I can prevent it ? This may be the biggest threat to OSS computing I have encountered so far. A keylogger there will be really hard to spot...
In this simple case, yes : for this program it is possible to test inputs vs desired outputs. Hell, some people still know about assembly code, just look at what was generated !
Well, if I were there, I would try to get everything I could, to totally steal money from eBay, give half of what I won to EFF and say "see ? with open standard, and without stupid software patents, this would not have happened".
Or I could make a discount with the insurance that Skype will become and stay GPLed.
But more probably they are just fighting to get some money, cashing out legally on human stupidity.
I don't like children. Can I register myself as in the list so that parents go make their spawnlings cry and shout somewhere else ? Can I register a dozen of imaginary offenders too ?
The same study happened last year in France and now all organic food (or "biologic food" as it is called here) are now advertised as environment friendly food, not super-healthy food. Their ads were really fear-mongering before that.
It is another conspiracy. I hear they referred to objects going at several "knots" of speed. Another weird unit. They were probably ciphered messages talking about UFOs...
Oh ? Game companies, the next big guys after alcohol companies and tobacco firms ?
Anyway, there is a world between spending less than 3 hours a day in WoW and completely canceling an account. Unlike tobacco companies, Blizzard do not get more money from total addicts than from occasional users.
It has been done with other electro-sensitive subjects : the sight of a fake cellphone gives them headaches. All the symptoms usually listed are those of psychosomatic diseases. But MPs are never the wisest and the "precaution principle" keeps popping up. Apparently it is admitted that a medical study can prove the existence of a risk but not disprove its existence. Which is a real problem.

In nazi Europe, Germany moves to you !

Stop using common sense in politics. It doesn't belong there. As far as I know, two things can influence a regular politician : bribery and riots.

Think market share. They have maybe a one year advance on spaceX. It is better to launch 500 tourists a year at 100,000$ than 50 at 200,000$
The only reasonable thing to do seems to get rid of this piece of software. Are the free open source BIOSes reliable now ?
Fire the guy. BIOS do the same function on every computer and are a very simple program of a few K. Bugs in there are totally avoidable.

Same story except I kept some contact with the guy : he earns maybe ten more times my salary. Nuclear engineers are the new geologists.

Can we use this as a clear proof of a unique ice sheet retractation or was the news really about the boat design ?

Apparently WoW will not reopen in China any time soon...
Someone who successfully rebooted a series just wasted talent at it instead of launching a new one.
Musician is not a paid position. Researcher is. The researcher is paid to make public research. It just makes sense that his research is made public.
Russia recently made two test missiles from a submarine emerging from the Arctic ice. Yes, they emerged through the ice cap.
