All it would take is for a minor bubble and value crash to endanger a few of the big providers now, and half would get bail outs. You don't want the power market going out of business, do you?
For all the speed with which Debian rolled out a patch, it'll still be months or years before this patch makes it into the wild on all the systems it's being used on.
When you show me the OS that has a patch for idiot, lazy or incompetent operators, I will buy you a beer.
Why don't pipelines like that have passive shutoff valves every hundred feet or so, such that if the pipeline suddenly looses pressure, the valve closes and no more oil can escape than already made it into that section?
Because several miles of crude oil flowing at 10 miles an hour has a lot of mass. Suddenly closing a valve would be like suddenly popping up a wall in front of a train. The oil would not just stop, but find a catastrophic and explosive new path. No, not money. Physics.
As to the money thing... Why is that considered so unimportant? More people die of a lack of money than any other thing on earth... People who say "It's only money" must have never gone to sleep (sleep, not bed as homeless don't have beds) hungry.
Except that the town wasn't screwed up - a well outside of town was on fire for several days. One person (an employee) unfortunately did die. The payoff was for the noise and inconvenience not due to any contamination. Then, some ant-drilling group posted some petition showing that the residents were pissed off. The only problem? Nobody in the town had actually signed it. Here's the link: http://www.businessweek.com/ap.... You may want to read your news more critically and not jump on the internet's immediate "omg, evil corporation" crap that seems to fester immediately when some news comes up.
I wish you had not posed this AC. The moderators may miss a very good and informative post. But, it does not support the mantra of "Oil Bad, Green Good" so they may have modded it "-1 Attacks My World View."
Seeing as how this was a hack only applicable in Europe, and he is giving the talk in Amsterdam, I doubt he cares about the US "No Fly List." However, rendition is still a possibility...
More than that, if Congress wants people to stop lieing to them, they have to have some consiquenses for it. Start jailing a whole bunch of people for purgery. Nothing major... Just what Martha Stewart did... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
Your spelling is atroscious.
Your ability to ignore my points and construct a strawman is admirable, congressman. And you spelled atrocious wrong...

With all that money he can get a new identity. He can get plastic surgery to change his looks, and hire excellent security.
Assuming that he did not blow it all as he got it thinking the gravy train would never run out... And based on how things unfolded, I am guessing it went that way.
Surely photography would be a better reference - I'm assuming that the vast majority of 'globally influencing' pollution would have occurred after colour photography became popular.
"King Edward I of England banned the burning of sea-coal by proclamation in London in 1272, after its smoke became a problem."
So how far back to you think color photography goes?
Uhmm... Money trumps everything. More people die from a lack of money than from mudslides... Wasting a few billion on inspecting shoes in airports means it can not go to disease research, or fresh water projects, or health care, or... Large amounts of money ends up being wasted in very unlikely but high profile disasters where "We have to do something!" Unfortunately, the money is not unlimited...
Jokes aside, I never understood why people live in KNOWN dangerous places.
Actually, there are damn few places in the US that are not subject to some type of natural disaster. http://www.datafoundry.com/dis... And this does not include the power grid killing ice storms... And southwest Texas, while nice from a natural disaster standpoint has a rather large man made disaster of the drug trade and related crime to contend with. So, where are you going to live?
In a cage match between you and Charlie Sheen, who would get the ring card girl?
Joking aside, how do you feel about the comparisons, or are you just glad that it is a better association than with Intel AV?
My stance: I don't trust KDE or Canonical to develop a useful UI, one is too stuck on supporting fringe uses at the cost of any possible performance and the other has shown a hostility toward any user customization. (Ok, for full disclosure, I installed KDE after accidentally upgrading to a 'Unity' Ubuntu build. The system went from ugly to crashing more than Windows ME. LXDEd it later and everything is back to useful.)
I do not trust any "GUI UI Designer" to develop a useful UI. Why? Because their job depends on constant change, regardless of if it is better or not. Take cars, for example. Can you Imagen what the Unity team or KDE would do to you car? I can bet it would not have a wheel in the middle wipers on the right, turn signals on the left, ignition on the dash on the right, headlights on the dash on the left, and gear selector on the right in the center. (For left had drive) Nor would the peddles be clutch brake gas from left to right... Why? Because leaving something that works well alone does not validate your existence and contribution to the project.
Detroit didn't adapt. They could see what was coming but refused to make what in the scale of adaption, was a miniscule change, so their city died. You are comfortable with predicting that a sudden, previously undemonstrated ability to adapt will suddenly arise in humans, and that the obvious economic issues with "adaption" can safely be hand waved away.
This is the key, and the point. Detroit did not adapt. Houston, on the other had, did. Houston had an oil based economy, until the 80's/90s oil glut when the bottom fell out. This is when Houston (and to a lessor extent, Texas at large) started to adopt a pro business and pro trade atmosphere to attract non-oil related business. The Port of Houston was vastly expanded, and rail was expanded... Now Houston has a large and diversified global economy, and hence it did well during the rescission, and came out of the mild housing collapse quickly. Adapt or die... How the planet works.
This is not how the internet works. You don't get to dictate what a service provided by a company located in another country does or does not offer. And the sooner your realise that your futile attempts to "erase" said service from "your internet" by various blocking methods, the faster you stop making a moron deserving utter humiliation out of yourself.
Are you talking to the Turks, or US Media companies?

Forget openwrt... How about all the ISP provided "Firewalls" that are total garbage, have one password, and can not be updated?

Talk about naive...
So you won't have a problem if I dump a few hundred gallons of crude in your living roon.
As long as I can leave my car idling in your bedroom. See? To much of anything can be bad.

At least, according to Van Gogh.
But due to the prevalent light pollution, from our perception they actually have gotten smaller.
That was the first painting that came into my mind when I read the summery. I did not know the back story on it either.

I doubt Turkey or anyone for that matter can block all of the IPv6 address all the time. The block file would be huge if it was to be done.
