Lets see if I can put it in perspective. Get out your tape measure and go measure the Hindenburg right now. Or any other larger one right now. The story didn't say it was the world largest airship EVER. It is only the largest airship available right now. (for certain narrow definitions of available)
After reading the article (SHOCKING!)
I wonder if they could get ships to carry a device to collect depth and undersea mountain patterns and then aggregate the data later. Might be cheaper the 2 billion dollars.
Sure, as long as they don't collect info on open wifi hot spots as they do it they shouldn't get in trouble...
I'm imagining a fleet of small boats with the Google logo on the sides crisscrossing the oceans of the earth mapping the ocean floor.
People tend to associate themselves with others that share the same ideals. Just because most people you know are not strongly religious does not mean that most people are not. What it does mean is that you are experiencing first hand what statisticians refer to as selection bias.
For what it is worth, while I don't consider myself "strongly" religious, the people I know that are strongly religious are mostly leftists and vote Democrat which always leaves me kind of flabbergasted. At any rate please consider that religion crosses political boundaries.

Somewhere I have an old IBM mouse with a TrackPoint stick instead of a wheel. Was nice for scrolling about in huge spreadsheets or poorly designed web sites. Even for vertical only scrolling it was better because applying more pressure made it scroll faster.
You sir are absolutely correct. Anyone who writes an application based on screen scraping should expect changes to happen and not act surprised when they do. Besides doesn't Google have a freaking search API? http://code.google.com/apis/ajaxsearch/
Why are we assuming that the intention of this is to modify the students behavior? Perhaps they want to see where students do well despite not attending classes and therefor where the professors/TA's are not worth what their paid. I once had a professor tell me that classes where attendance was mandatory was because the professor was insecure and didn't want to feel (or be proven to be) unnecessary to the students learning.
At any rate, I would be the student to keep his ID in a Faraday cage wallet to block the RFID but still show up. I'd make a point of chatting up the prof after every class and if at the end of the term I was called on not attending I'd be able to say "I was there every session don't you remember?" If enough students did this and the attendance taking was therefore ineffectual they would likely discontinue doing it.
Well, you'll know when to "duck and cover". Or in practical terms you'll know to shut down the critical systems on the satellites and weather out the "storm" as well as have your astronauts move to more shielded areas of the spacecraft.
Never did get the wife to throw away the old clothes though.
Never "throw away" old cloths. When you donate usable used clothing to a charity of your choice and you itemize them well they become a HUGE deduction. I came to this realization back during Clinton's first term when it came out in the news that he wrote of a pair of underwear for $7. If your in the 25% bracket that is $1.75 off the bottom line (no pun intended). Multiply that by the 6-10 bags of clothes we donate each year (kids grow fast) and it becomes $500-700 off the tax bill. Use software like itsdeductible.com (or H&R Blocks version) to get the IRS approved valuations and it becomes easy.
If they are forced to work 15x6 yes absolutely unfair. My dad is a (retired) union electrician. I remember times as a kid when he had the opportunity to work 12x7 and chose to for the extra income. Was it fair? Well he didn't have to do it so sure it was fair.

You forgot the end zones, an American football field is 120 yards. (235 feet)/(120 yards) = 0.65277777....

Good point, we should use something more standard than bbl.
1 (mile^3) = 4.16818183 × 10^15 cc
There much more understandable
so the whole ocean is: 320 000 000 (mile^3) = 1.33381818 × 10^24 cc
No, but if the military version will be able to show maps that are actually useable it's probably bigger than your average (or above average) watch.

Definatly. They need to let us drill down further into the underlying data.
