Just leave your PC's by the curb in a busy urban area, and they WILL be picked up. We used that technique to get rid of two EXTREMELY heavy 286 servers in London. We were about a block from the British Museum, wiped the servers, left them by the curb and ten minutes later, they were gone.
If you can prove they're government backed, drop the gateways to China flat. It'll make some U.S. businesses scream, and maybe make them less likely to spend money in China. India has almost as many consumers and they speak English (sorta).
They strapped a thirty ton magnet to the missile with bright flashing light and had it fly 40 mph? Naaaah. I'm sure the test wasn't rigged. The military would NEVER do that.
And I used to buy a lot of CD's. I buy fewer now, because I'm older and pickier, and I've looked at iTunes and other stores, but I just didn't want to have to go through the buy, burn, rip cycle to remove the DRM. If the label actually allow drm'less mp3's, and make it as easy to buy as an iTune purchase, I'll buy a lot more music a song at a time on impulse.
While some celebs say dumb things, there's a rush here to attribute pure motive to this Sense about Science group. It's interesting that the interests of this group seem to conform to corporate interests more often than not.
I don't know enough about them to praise or condemn them outright, but I encourage everyone to take a scientific approach and regard the motives of this group with great suspicion. Who funds these people? Pure reason has no lobbying group or PR firm.
Europe is a serious economic power and a major global market competitior. Militarily - not so much. The US has heavily overinvested in defense for the benefit of the political contributors in the defense industry.
Now if you're including Russia in Europe that's a whole different thing. Both Russia and the U.S. have about 8000 warheads apiece considered battle ready. Britain has about 200 and France about 350.
Plus, the U.S. doesn't have the language and governmental coordination problem that Europe has.
"if I can write good code, why should I give it away?"
Because no matter how code the code from your one set of eyes is, it won't be anywhere near as good as the code that's been reviewed by 100,000 sets of eyes?
So we're going to rely on bigger and bigger pizza pies to protect our bigger and bigger space investments? My god, man, you're talking about a pizza larger than we're capable of baking. And think of the tomatoes necessary for such an operation!
I forsee a Pepperoni gap between us and the Russkies.
And just where do you think you're going to get pizza for the return journey. No, my friend, these are critical protective pizzas, not for eating. In space, there are no wood-burning ovens. Or mozarella.
Order the pizzas frozen from Domino's so you won't be tempted to actually eat them.
Get a degree in business management, psychology, economics, engineering, biology, communications, basically anything but computer science and take compsci classes as a minor.

Quit talking smack about Louisiana.
The post timer is lame, it punishes those who can type.
They say it "Eu-bun-teu".
What are the chances that a government agency would ever overstep its bounds. No seriously, what are the chances? 100%? 110%?
If you follow that logic, higher prices reduce demand which does make the manufacturer pay.

I - I would pay to see that, I'm afraid to say.
Complaining about the lag.

Big Surprise.
The 8000 number for Russia is servicable missiles, down from 30-40,000.

If you eat the pizza you destroy your shield!

"We recommend that enterprises dump Microsoft and start converting to free software immediately." - never happen, no one to fund Gartner then.
Gartner will say almost anything you want them to say if you fund the study. I've been in IT for 21 years and this is an absolute truth.
I refer you to the "plog".
It never freezes.
The name, I mean. Who can get excited about being neutral? The Swiss?
We should start to use "Network Equality" or "Data Non-Discrimination" instead.
The public good doesn't have a lobbying firm.
Like Worf said in the TNG Tribbles flashback episode - "We don't talk about that."
