Lets see, post history... Java, Sun, Eclipse, DataCenter, CPU stories, certainly posting things similar to his occupation. Ah this looks interesting....

If there was time dilation at work, the observer in the same room measuring the decay would be in the same reference field and wouldn't notice anything different.
Any business with redundant links to the net will most likely be using BGP to tell their ISP's about their IP addresses. Yes, there is a fairly large setup cost to run this hack, but the infrastructure is bog standard.
We already have a viable alternative to allow a kind of self signing with DNSSEC. DNSSEC requires a PKI infrastructure to be built into the DNS naming system that could make any other PKI infrastructure obsolete (see RFC-4398).
Java code absolutely can be optimised to run at a similar speed to hand optimised C / machine code. Just look at Jake2. But you do have to think like a low level C programmer, fully aware of the hidden costs in the code you write.
Where I'm working at the moment we've had a queue of work to do almost continuously for the last 10 years. Only very very rarely have I ever completely run out of work to do, or had every single project waiting on other people.
I think there are definitely working environments were telecommuting makes sense.
Sure you could encrypt traffic between client and server, but if you can't verify the identity of the server during key exchange, you can't prevent a man-in-the-middle attack which makes the encryption useless.
There are other features that I don't see how they're getting, such as the zones where photos were shot from. That takes an awful lot of extrapolation. What's the difference between a photographer 10 feet away, and a photographer 200 feet away with a good zoom lens? Almost nothing, except maybe a little focal distortion at the edge of the photo. That varies with the quality of the camera and lens anyways.
Perspective changes a lot based on where the camera is, a big zoom lense does nothing to change the perspective it just makes the image larger.
Their process finds machine recognisable points in each photo, then looks for matching points between photos. Once you know that 2 photos are of the same subject you can use the separation between these known points to work out the relative viewing position of each camera. It only takes about 4-5 common points on different planes to pinpoint where each camera is relative to other camera's. I can visualise how this process could be completely automated.
At the end of the process they have a 3D model of where all these identifiable points are relative to each other, and they know where to project the plane of each photo within that model.
The actual validation of the certificate chain doesn't depend on network access. Only a check for revocation would require it, but I would hope that certs used for passports would be very closely guarded secrets for which revocation would be a rare event.
SSL doesn't depend on a single central server to authenticate host machines. You get your public key signed by a recognised authority and you can then sign anything you want. Anyone who trusts the signing authority will have no trouble verifying the signature. So let each country generate their own private key and publish all the public keys. Then you can sign all the biometric details on the passport. Preventing full duplication of a passport is a little trickier, if not impossible. But you should be able to spot any partial editing until the private key is factored.
Also they seem to have implemented cryptographic certificates really really badly if they have to share their entire databases with each other. I mean even a browser can spot a fake web site cert without polling the network. I'm sure you could build something similar where each machine has a copy of the public key of each nations passports, with the biometric info signed by a key that was (directly or indirectly) signed by the nations key.
Absolutely, the paparazzi are going to love this application.
I bet you could use their software to crawl google and build a database of compromising images, analyze all the faces within them, then take a random photo of a celebrity and put their face in a bunch of compromising photos...
My biggest grief with the awesomebar is it also seems to remember mistyped URL's, pages with a 404 result, or redirects. Why on earth would I want to revisit a site that doesn't exist???

We Built It For The Lulz.
"Gordon freeman, you're needed in the test chamber".
And of course in a similar vein there is the stock response to spam solutions.
Not to mention that a touch screen interface either gives you RSI or neck / back ache depending on the position of the screen.
Ambient temperature in the lab?

If in doubt, google seems fairly knowledgeable on the subject.

To continue the pedantry, I think you meant "I couldn't care less.".
No he meant he could care less, since he cares even less now.
Or in X-Men 3 where they made the two lead actors look about 20 years younger.
But, it's probably not even necessary, as blueprints and photos exist on the internet for any target one might find interesting.
And there are ways to build 3D models you can walk through from those publicly available pictures.

Paper ballots are the worst kind of election system. Except for all the others.
Everyone's suggesting a usb floppy, but have you tried using subst to mount a folder on your C drive as A, or mounting a network share?
AFAIK when a disk is scratched you are more likely to get a tracking error than a failure to decode the audio.
