also of interest, a 10 meter metal (e.g. iron-nickel) asteroid will have big fragments that will hit the ground, for example the one that hit Sikhote-Alin mountains in Siberia in February 1947, 150 tons of fragments hit the ground and one of them weighed 1.7 tons!
there are types of crime a computer makes possible that were impossible before. but I'm not seeing that with this videoconferencing hysteria, all the same issues existed 100 years ago.

nonsense, the nuclear industry does not permit dose anywhere near that which causes detectable harm. The only type of "nuclear worker" at greater risk for cancer is not at power plant, but miners, enrichment and weapons assembly plant workers.
In the USA, In the 8 months or so prior to a refueling outage, through the first couple weeks of an outage, a huge amount of "construction" work is undertaken at a plant involving maintenance, inspections and repairs. A plant that has a couple hundred full time employees will bring on hundreds of contractors, sometimes a thousand or so total. These contractors make their very good living going from plant to plant for pre-outage and outage work. They make way more money than the average IT worker, I can tell you 7-10 years ago it was $50 to $120 an hour, and during the actual outage there would be 10 or 12 hour days for the first couple weeks, that's time and a half and usually gets to double time overtime per week. Those skilled tradesmen made serious coin. The plant issues dose meters and film badges and monitors the rad exposure of all workers, and *already knows* the dose for each area and type of work, there is no faking of exposure nor even possibility of doing so. The federal NRC has an office on site to oversee work, dose, compliance.
These are trained and skills construction tradespeople. I was a scheduler at nuke plant, the contract workers made $50 to $120 an hour. Why, you ask? ask yourself, for example, what kind of "pipefitter" works with 16" diameter stainless pipe, in a rad area. A very well trained expensive one, that's who.
Indeed, this reminds me of the ABC News website. They used to have news, but now three-quarters of the front page is gossip column. Should we all just give it "Burning Chrome" funeral pyre, by cracking the site and burning it to the ground? It would be an act of mercy.

Microsoft's intention is to just have GUI clients for admin, don't get your hopes up that they would actually raise the bar to have real computer sysadmins who can function from a command line
No! those programs need to be rewritten by their makers to run GUI-less, just like real OS which thus far Microsoft hasn't produced. There is no reason to have a GUI on a server.
A centuries old building is a very different matter than 500 year old computers, pumps, fans, transducers, sensors, optics, propulsion, or enclosed ecology....we don't have the means, materials or knowledge to make such things. We don't have means to go 0.01C, though we might if fusion is mastered. As scientist and engineer, I can readily see why most intelligent species may not travel between the stars. Perhaps none of them ever will.
that's an assertion without any proof, there are a few peculiar things about our Earth and the Sol system that might not have happened anywhere else. Really.
there were oceans, less than half a billion years after the world was formed. The oldest fossils are 3.5 billion years old, and are of ocean bacteria. Life on land is very recent, only 475 million years ago or so.
just a case of "different", not wrong. GPL can't be used in some cases where BSD licensed code can, for example one can distribute modified BSD code without providing the source code as long as its done the way the BSD copyright mandates.
at the ionosphere, the power level for the tens of kilometers diameter area is a mere 3 microwatts per square meter. also, the area affected is only hundreds of meters deep . HAARP a gnat's fart in a hurricane, it's effects can only be detected with special instruments. It cannot and does not harm satellites.
utter bullshit, the research at HAARP is open, scientists come from around the world to conduct experiments there with no security clearance, public tours are given, you can go tour the HAARP facilities.
that is urban legend bullshit. the purpose of HAARP is well known, and was funded for that purpose: ionospheric research. The experiments are open, researchers and students come their from all over the world without security clearance, there are open house tours for the public.

nope, stony asteroid has to be about 35 meters or more in diameter to "make a dent", otherwise it will just burn up in atmosphere.
nonsense, that (water intoxication) only happens if you drink too much water (whether 100% pure or not)

and 100 years ago that would be done by eavesdropping near or in the boardroom. so what's the big deal?

man pages are your friend. mac osx also has command line and man pages.

there is a proper way to incorporate BSD licensed code into a GPL project, while complying with the BSD license's attribution requirement.

yes, I knew the the open houses are scheduled. This is true of many national labs, of which I've been to quite a few as employee.
