And finally, the reason the supermarket wants your purchase information is to do analysis of demographics and to better optimize their business. They are not doing the sort of data mining that would allow them to sell you lipitor based on how much beef you eat. You have absolutely no evidence to back up that assertion.
Really? Then how come every month they start offering me coupons for 'feminine hygiene products' around my wife's 'special time'? There are several types of products I buy with some regularity and invariably I get offered coupons at the checkout station a few days beforehand for competitors products. They do track what I buy, they know about when I'm going to buy certain things, and they use this to market other products.
We are talking about apples and oranges here. You are referring to high velocity neutrons vs. slow velocity neutrons while I'm talking about fast release neutrons vs. slow release neutrons.
They do fall into place automatically (this is what happens when the reactor 'scrams'). The problem is that slow neutron production goes on for days. And no matter what you do some of those neutrons get absorbed by fuel and create more neutrons (the chain reaction part). Depending on the reactor size it can take weeks to shut down properly, and losing coolant doesn't help at all as the coolant acts as a moderator to the reaction (it helps capture some of the neutrons).
You can't stop the fission reaction immediately. Nuclear power relies on slow neutron production which takes time for it to stop (fast neutron production is what makes bombs go off). After the control rods are reinserted you have to wait for the decay chains to run down and neutron production to stop (or as close to stop as it gets). This is why you can't just shut the reactor down and then pump a lot of coolant through to bring the temperature down. These things take time in BWR.
Let's take Comcast and Netflix. Comcast hates Netflix because Comcast is also a content provider. They want you to pay $6 to watch their on-demand movies. With Netflix I can watch tons of movies for $6, and Comcast has to carry the traffic. Without Net Neutrality, Comcast would tell Netflix "you use too much bandwidth. We're going to throttle you down until your movies are unwatchable unless you start paying us a fee. That fee will increase until we make as much money from people watching your movies as we would if they bought them from our service".
Netflix would have to increase prices until no one would pay, thus forcing them out of business and all you would be left with is Comcast, which then jacks up the prices for their on-demand movies.
And what criminal conduct did he know about? Did he read transcripts of the trial and see where they had taken his report and lied about it? He is/was not qualified to comment on the reports from other so-called investigators unless he'd actually read their reports. All he knew was that his study didn't support what they were saying, but that doesn't say anything about other studies that may have been conducted.
I have a DVR that lets me record 2 shows at the same time. Before the DVR, I'd have to choose from competing shows, but now I can record both. Sometimes I have to skip something when there are 3 things on at the same time. What they need to be working on is better on-demand. That way I can watch everything (that I want to watch). I believe they'd see a big increase in veiwership then.
If your TV stops working, do you open it up and fix it? How about your phone, or your car? Do you rewire your own house for electricity, plumbing? How is this different than your average person and computers?
By the way, punctuation goes inside the quote.
Not always. Question marks go inside the quote only if the quote is asking a question (Rule 2). In this case, they were not, so his usage is correct.
Libertarians would not regulate pollution, they'd make the business that polluted pay for the damage they cause. With freedom comes responsibility. You can do what you like, but if it affects others, you have to pay for it.
What's scary is your obvious coded message. I noticed that each line begins with a capital letter (VSIITF), which is obviously code for "Very Serious Information, Initiate Task Five".

Did you mean wait until 2011?

Don't worry, Congress is working on that now.

Net Neutrality provides choice.
... and no one knows the floor price to make shale oil extraction profitable because that's a field of engineering only now being developed.
Say what? Shale oil extraction has been around since the 10th century, lots of development went on in the 1980s
. Kiviter process facilities have been operated continuously in Estonia since the 1920s
It's obviously cheap enough as some people have been doing it for nearly a century.
It's a lot harder for them to 'lose' the recording if they do something wrong when you do the recording.

Notice the "under the 4th amendment", the one that requires them to get a warrent. He's saying that doesn't apply to email.

Yes we did, and it says " I am the IT guy and will be responsible for most if not all aspects of hardware and software (not to include editing)."
He isn't in charge of editing.
Mod this up. Ask the crew what software they want to use for editing, and get whatever supports that.

Of course they won't. Who would buy the gold they are farming?

Or they could use the cell phone of the victim, to 'prove' they have them.
COBOL compatibility has served us all very well for over a decade, and to develop new programming languages is wanton and irresponsible.
Given that they don't want to give actual numbers, for all we know sales went from 1 to 2 (100% increase). This whole article is a propaganda piece.

A terrorist attacks civilian targets. Freedom fighters attack military targets. There is a big difference.
And that is exactly why they are doing it. This competes with part of their business model (pay-per-view), and they don't like competition.
