Ok. Who owns the Moon? I remember hearing about some crazy stuff a little while back how somebody claimed ownership of the Moon and started selling plots. If we are actually going to go there and start mining it with private companies then ownership will HAVE to be decided first. Otherwise it is a free for all, might makes right, who has the most missiles type of deal.
Thats the way everything on Earth works so why not the moon?
Because of course the gold mined on and shipped from the moon would be way cheaper than say gold mined in California. It would be more likely that the moon gold would be sold for a premium with a certificate of authenticity stating its origin.
A large part of the reason we need to drill in such deep water is not because oil is not available in shallow waters, but because of restrictive legislation. I don't think that companies should be given carte blanche to drill anywhere, but a serious effort needs to be made to allow the safe exploitation of whatever resources may be of benefit to us.
I think the article was alright though. It told what was going on, and why it could be important. It wasn't written for a computer nerd demographic so the exact specs weren't really relevant.
Its more like you have a 15 foot thick steel walled safe in your basement, and they have a warrant to search it, but you refuse to provide them the combination to open the door. They could cut through, but it would take a lot of time and resources to do so. Thus by not providing the combination you are interfering with their investigation since the resources spent on trying to get into the safe are not spent going after the real killer or looking for the body elsewhere.
What they aren't telling you is that the space probe actually contains Dracula. NASA got tired of all the vampire stories so they are putting him down.
The GTA4 thing is not really Steam's fault though. My plan for if Steam fails is to pirate heavily if it happens, and up until it does to buy stuff via Steam. Support the medium. The more users Steam has the less likely it will be to go under.
Fortunately they have a solution for that. They offer very shoddy customer service only as long as it is possible for the majority of customers to sue for their money back. Then they stop entirely.
I think it is more of a probability thing then what you are thinking of. The return is the probability that the two values are the same. So 0.5 AND 0.5 would be 100% while 0.5 AND 0.6 would like 80% or something depending on the allowed error and uncertainty.
Thinking of this reminded me of BugBrain. If you want to play with Bayesian logic it has a pretty good set of examples including building a neural network to perform simple character recognition.
Now if you run a VoIP service you have to pay into the government fund to support TTY services. Also if you have a browser on your phone it has to have a built in screen reader or you have to provide a way for a cheap screen reader to run on it. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-3101

Food is different than energy supplies. If humans needed direct injections of ATP to function you might have a point. Also many trillions of people have gotten through their lives without any healthcare through the course of history.
We are seeing robots that can beat humans in certain tasks that they have been specifically designed for, but we have not yet even begun to have any robots that can adapt to different tasks on their own without being told. Also robots have a long way to go towards having the ability to survive without logistical support such as repairs, parts, or energy supplies. They are still just fancy complex tools which humans can use as they see fit.
The test that lead to the disaster at Chernobyl was meant to see if the plant could be safely shutdown if the plant were to lose all electrical power. Basically, they were going to see if the turbine generators would produce enough electricity to power the circulating pumps (which remove the core's heat) while the turbine was coasting down to a halt after the reactor was tripped (all control rods fully inserted). This test had been completed successfully on other reactors with a few key differences. On the other plants, the reactors were shutdown first and in a stable condition. The other difference is that the lose of power was only supposed, actual power was still available to the emergency equipment and as a backup to the circulating pumps. At Chernobyl, the engineer proposed starting the test with the reactor critical and actually removing power from the circulating pumps. The emergency diesel generators were disabled and the reserve power supplies disconnected. The idea was to actually deprive the plant of all electrical power.
Additionally, the reactor operators were afraid that if the emergency equipment automatically started as it was designed to do, the cold water that it would inject into the core would cause a thermal shock. Anyone who has had a hot glass shatter under cold water knows what thermal shock can do. To avoid this, the pushbutton which started the safety equipment was disconnected. The control rods would insert but the safety equipment would not start. Automatic starting was also disabled. The test, including set up time, would take about 4 hours. For those 4 hours the core would be without safety equipment.
Many other plants were approached by the engineer but because of the risk involved, no others would do it. When Chernobyl's chief engineer, Fomin (who, as you will recall, had no nuclear training or experience), was asked, he jumped at the chance to have his name associated with such an important test.
Except that supermodels are rare, have fully developed mental facilities, and have enough money to hire whatever security they need to protect themselves. Children don't. Pedophilia happens when pedophiles have access to children.

Private Space Companies?

Yeah it would totally provide 6 of each!

You are malfunctioning. Shoving is the answer. In any case there are no stairs in space so the point is moot.

Except they wouldn't be prioritizing all UDP packets. Just the ones from the people who pay extra.

I telnet into the servers, and type out the headers by hand.

Yeah looks like you are right about the wire. That could just be a failsafe to keep it from dropping, and damaging itself.
Your wife? Of course not. You might want to hide your smoke detectors though.

Yeah Chernobyl went critical because its Party appointed operators specifically disabled its safety systems and drove the reactor past its red line.
