A few seconds of video, literature, a couple of memoirs and Google Earth helped locate a secret North Korean military plant
More like "helped a couple of bloggers locate...". There's no reason to doubt that the US and China already knew about it. Still says a lot about how much information is online these days.
I'd like to see them start a real effort to come out with a competitive version of desktop Linux.
Red Hat's business model is giving away the server software and selling support. They seem to be doing pretty well with that. Fedora seems like a way to keep the door open if enough paying customers want to migrate their desktops to Linux but not a market they are pursuing today.
Could've been one of the many agencies they communicate with noticed probes coming from their systems- NIH, FDA, CMS, CDC, etc. But it was more likely an agency that's responsible for stopping espionage by other governments.
In general, Conservatives try to minimize government intrusion and control of our lives. So this type of bill would have to come from that side of the aisle.
Liberals (a.k.a.Progressives) would push for more control without requiring justification or checks and balances - which is exactly the problem with the EPA in the current administration. They're pushing a political agenda through executive mandate rather than enforcing laws passed by Congress.
For example, it is possible to temporarily boost economic activity by lowering taxes and interest rates and/or increasing spending, but this is not without its dangers
True, that's exactly what Clinton did. Stock market and real estate bubbles both started in the 1990's. Then the bubbles burst and we're still feeling the hangover.
The problem is that if Reagan had been fair he would have said "Many of you are better off now than when I entered office mainly because that was early in this boom cycle, a cycle that I have little to no control over."
That would have been a silly thing for him to say, because he asked that question in 1980 when he was running against the incumbent Jimmy Carter. The question touched a nerve because Carter's bumbling made a mess of the economy.
If you want a game like [your favorite game here]? Just write it; that's what the author did in the first place. Oh wait, you don't want to make the same investment they did? Boo hoo.
We hear them a lot on/., usually in reference to some policy made "for the children" or "to protect us". Save it for someone who cares.
Interesting response, because the protesters are doing exactly that by using the reef as an excuse to hide their true agenda, which is an attempt by Global Warming Alarmists to block the export of an evil fossil fuel (coal) for use in India.
FTFA:
The decision follows the government giving the green light to a major coal port expansion for India's Adani Group on the reef coast
NoSQL is just a cache, except if it gets messed up you're screwed, unlike a cache which can be reinitialized. But if you want to use it, skip the overhead and use BDAM
Maybe not Yellowstone, but there are plenty of other active volcanoes that would do. Italy could probably get a bunch of power from Mt. Etna and Mt Vesuvius
I'd be happy with a log of what was destroyed. Maybe pictures/scans of the drive just before it was destroyed if the stuff on it was really important. Keeping thousands of wiped drives around so you can go look at them occasionally is kind of pointless
Iceland's National Energy Authority has created the world's first magma-based geothermal energy system after drilling 1.3 miles (2,100 meters) through the Earth's crust.
Could they have actually reached the mantle that close to the surface? I would believe they tapped into a volcano, but mantle doesn't sound right. Crust there is something like 15 km??
Hall's team adopted an innovative approach to investigating Dirac's theory, creating and identifying synthetic magnetic monopoles in an artificial magnetic field generated by a Bose-Einstein condensate, an extremely cold atomic gas tens of billionths of a degree warmer than absolute zero.
That depends on what them definition of "is" is. A government can grant whatever legal rights it chooses. Natural rights don't really apply in this context since by definition IP is a legal right.
The guy was charged with fraud. It happens that the fraud he was committing involved claims about how he could teach people to beat or use polygraphs. If he was busted for claiming he could teach people how to win the lottery this would not be in the news. Now he's making up claims about a government conspiracy as his defense.
The original Beowulf was set in Scandinavia, so maybe.
Perhaps next week we'll find out how long Gates can go against a professional Sumo wrestler. Or maybe not, I really don't want to see him wearing a loincloth.

they're still clueless as to why they are losing in the political arena, and it has nothing to do with tech.
Losing? 29 Republican governors versus 21 Democrats, plus a majority in the House of Representatives.

Yes, that could happen. But look at the number of bystanders killed by these guys. You reduce the number of innocent people killed if you go after the bad guys when you can.
...attempts to fly a helium filled Zeppelin on the Moon failed miserably. Oh the lack of humanity.
Shouldn't they be called "Rare Moon" minerals here?

This is a bill coming from the GOP???

I challenge you try to convince me wrong with a calm and well-reasoned opinion.
Instead they mod you Troll. Good to see people still understand what the word "Discussion" means.
Indeed. Because you can be sure that no other government is conducting espionage. Not.

During the battle, the American forces suffered only one fatality (due to friendly fire), while destroying 186 Iraqi tanks
if it's written into the contract, how can you not honor it.
You can have a judge rule that the contract is illegal. Which is what they're trying to do.
