You're assuming God doesn't -want- you to have cancer, and die suffering in pain. 'cause... you know, if he really didn't -want- that, you wouldn't get cancer to begin with.
Nah, something that would let -me- (the developer) write an app for the iphone, and run it on -my- iphone without paying Apple $100 for the privilege of doing so.
If my program wrote data, terminated, I did ls on the folder and saw file, and then computer lost power... and file was gone. Yes, it's a bug and is an OS issue. (ie: upon program termination, when all open files are closed, they should be flushed to disk, before program successfully "exits").
If my program had a file open, writing, and computer lost power, I really wouldn't expect anything meaningful in the file after the crash, so... 2.5 minutes isn't an issue. (ie: database apps should be careful to do a flush [and flush should do just that] after a write to open files).
It's not security. The models are b0rken. Badly. There's no good reason to release'em to the world other than to brag about being more open now than before (see, we're so open about our business now, we learned our lesson, please give us your money). Maybe even write off the model [well, labor expense] for tax purposes (donation to the world of open source!).
Internally, other models are being created that are less broken---those won't be made public as the whole point of modeling such things is to get an advantage over your competition (you can't let the world know how much you think stuff is worth).
If someone runs for office claiming to want to "cut taxes" then let them specify EXACTLY what projects will be cut and the people can see how much they'll be saving.
With monopoly money, you can lower taxes AND increase spending. Isn't this exactly what we're doing now?
...it's all about opportunity cost, time value of money, etc.
At the level of nations, actual money means very little... [it's all just printed anyway, and everyone knows that]. It's all about the productivity of the people (and their resilience to various taxes); it's also the public image and perception.

who attend every Sunday, yet who live some of the most amoral lives imaginable.
Actually, that makes perfect sense. If you live an amoral life, you might as well get a clean slate of forgiveness every Sunday.

they "know" they're about to face the final judge.
And if God didn't want them to have cancer, they wouldn't.

Yes, and wasn't there a declassified NSA thing about just this late last year?
Eh. I always assumed that closing the file implicitly flushes disk. Is that not true?
Depends.

So banking is basically a big game of poker?
indeed.

...No, losers are those who actually -did- press Alt-F4 when you told them to. Eh, fun times!
It's not about catching anyone. It's about "doing something", so they can't be criticized for "doing nothing".
Card counting on your own, isn't that hard.
If they could declare -that- illegal (or have a reliable way of spotting it), they would.
Someone should make it illegal for games of chance to favor the house... this is gambling, after all, no?
Also, what are the odds the particle doesn't exist AND they find it?

I say we should blame coca cola. Kids have autism 'cause parents at some point drank coca cola.
Why does it -have- to be vaccines?
What happens, however when the tech gets so good that it can read with emotion..
I think they're trying to claim that blind folks who use accessibility technologies are violating their...copyright?
It also seems they've reinvented mmap.
Indeed. Wasn't there a student suspended for creating a DOOM map that looked like a school (where you can go around and... [gasp] shoot things?)
There are enough of them to name things, and... they all sound cool and sciency :-)
Lets also not forget that many of these ``great russian programmers'' don't actually live in russia.
ie: The dude who wrote Tetris, wr0ks for Microsoft!
They can't find what is genuinely not there.
If they're properly motivated to find something on you, I'm sure they'll find something on you even if it's not there.
I'm also curious whether (if) the chip generated -less- heat at those temperatures (?), due to some superconducting effect.

You'd have to get somewhere like the center of the sun or denser before a collision would be anywhere near likely.
Future grant proposal: create a mini-black hole and shoot it into the sun!
...and today's apocalypse
Who do you think created the apocalypse? :-)
