So don't be so quick to dismiss the possibility of causation, simply because it was discovered by correlation. Falsely assuming no-causation is every bit as much as a statistics induced error as falsely assuming causation.
With correlation you have a reason to look for causation. Without correlation, looking for causation is just shooting in the dark.
Is this movement along the plane of the galaxy's disk, or oscillating above and below the disk? How sure are we that there even are spiral arms? If there were arms, then why would be be traveling through them, instead of with them? Why would an orbiting star system travel faster than other star systems in its proximity, and still remain in the same orbit?
That is how I read it, or simply wandering comets, asteroids, broken free of what ever they were orbiting. Even interstellar dust concentrations perturbing our own asteroids might be enough.
But I was more surprised to learn the Sun was not traveling in rough unison with a (relatively) fixed spiral arm. Is this normal for all stars? If all stars are wandering why do spiral arms exist at all? Why wouldn't the Milky Way simply be a disk?
Well, actually not a poor assumption, considering that TFA also indicates that much data is 398,772 3TB hard drives and, moving that much data onto or off of that many drives isn't something that even Google can do in the time period measured. They discounted read-and write times on both media types.
(Although they make no allowance for handling). Its a fun mind game, but as usual a pointless exercise. The Microsd cards will cost you $855 million dollars, and probably consume the entire production of 64gb cards for a year.
This is nothing to do with politics, just practicality. The NSA knows well just how much stuff can be gleaned from an under sea cable, so why would they want anyone else putting their equipment in place to tap into later? Too many taps spoils the surprise.
When the US worries about Chinese routers and switches it is most likely that someone in government already has "un-detectable" back doors into US made switches, routers and software. When they worry and bluster in congress about Chinese Cellular transmitter equipment it is likely because they already have all the other manufacturers compromised.
It took many more failures in the chain of events than a simple surge because hundreds of thousands of fully armed aircraft have gone through power cut over before and after that event with no similar occurrence. Were all the safety ribbons pulled? Why were the pins pulled below decks? Why was the missile hot and ready to fire?
You have to remember that this is a journalist understanding of what happened.
Left unsaid was what the tree other safety mechanisms were. Presumably the first two or three were destroyed as the plane broke up and the bombs were severed from the device holding the bomb on the airplane. B52s would almost certainly carry this size of bomb internally.
Jones never actually saw the bomb, all he did was rummage thru papers, and decide on his own, that the "switch could easily be shorted by an electrical jolt", without specifying where such a jolt would come from, or ever actually seeing the switch in question.
No, ext4 is not yet in the mature stage. Compare the bug count with ext3 or ext2, or Reiser, or xfs. (just change the last 4 characters in the link up-thread).
3 or 6 un closed bugs is the norm, and most of them trivial. But ext4 has some serious unresolved issues.
A separate prior agreement that you can make via a phone call while chatting with the driver.
If Taxi's want to compete, let them build a rating system like Lyft or Uber. Put a QR code on their doors people can find out about the surly bastard driving and the condition they keep the vehicle in.
There are apps for this in the taxi world, mytaxi is a common one. TaxiMagic is another. mytaxi-Driver skips the cab company and goes direct to the cabbie, and its the equivalent of a street hail. With some of these apps you can pay the fare through the app. But they are still way more expensive than lyft or uber. Oddly, many cities forbid these apps.
The only advantage taxi's have, is that, at least in some jurisdictions, the driver passed a background check, if not the sniff test.
plus how much energy (that comes mostly from fossil fuels?) will it take to pump the carbon dioxide back into the shale? and how much energy did it take to get the natural gas out in the first place? and how much carbon dioxide did that produce?
Does it matter?
The alternative is no sequestration. Pick your poison.
On the other hand, OpenSuse, and SuSE before them, have a track record of adopting newer file systems as the default. They also demote some filesystems as the default, (while still making them available for the user to set as the default.). (I still use reiserfs on some systems, it may not be massively scale-able, but its pretty bullet proof).
But more to the point, I can't really understand your point about RSNs, since Btrfs is already available in OpenSuse and several other Distros for the last several releases.
Further, on Opensuse at least, the user can set any of the choices as the default for any new partitions, or as the system default at install time. The available choices include Btrfs, XFS and Reiserfs, and three versions of Ext.
Its not that something is promised and not delivered. Its more akin to having the default web browser set to Chrome or Firefox.
There is no broken promises here. Simply a failure to understand that the choice has been there for years.
And which part of the amendment discusses magazine size or automatic fire?
You are not paying attention.
t was fully expected that the PEOPLE would have the same arms as any soldier, which in this the modern era every citizen should be expected to have a fully automatic military long arm and a side arm.
One of the key reasons for the right to keep arms was to control a tyrannical government. It was fully expected that the average citizen would have parity with the the average soldier's arms.

If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude, that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens.
There is a huge discussion about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution and it makes clear that the intent was as much to control government as it was for self defense or harvesting game or being in the Militia. Note: The Militia was never intended as a Federal Force, (those are provided elsewhere in the constitution).
So what's your point. All you've done is prove that an armed citizenry is a polite citizenry. Hardy justification for arms confiscation. Just the opposite.
Enthusiasts have multiple guns. Even though you can only effectively shoot one at a time. Yet every swiss male has at least one, and is required to practice with it.
One in every household is a higher percentage of households than the US. Also its a higher rate of availability. Everybody has one spreads guns to a larger percentage of the population than a small number of guys having large collections.
It is not universally agreed that the comma is significant at all. It merely separates a reason for a right from the actual statement of the right. It was never intended to be the only reason.
Furthermore there was discussion at the time to include several other reasons, self defense, hunting but southern delegates wanted the list to include suppression of slave uprising, snd northern delegates would have no truck with that.
Self defense was just assumed in those days, no on would question that. Stand your ground was the norm everywhere.
The second amendment granted the PEOPLE the right to arms, not the government, and it was precisely to control the government that they were given these rights. It was fully expected that the PEOPLE would have the same arms as any soldier, which in this the modern era every citizen should be expected to have a fully automatic military long arm and a side arm.
See Switzerland. Vastly higher gun possession rate, gun death rate less than half of the US rate.

Ah, such clarity.
Have you told those clowns at Harvard about this?
in other news...many people die in hospitals, therefore hospitals may cause death.
And indeed they do.

That was also my question.

If there were arms, then why would be be traveling through them, instead of with them? Why would an orbiting star system travel faster than other star systems in its proximity, and still remain in the same orbit?
You mean as opposed to Galaxies, which are free of black holes?

Cutters aren't the problem the US is worried about.
Taps are.
Of course they need to lay NSA tapped cables.
Exactly.
This is nothing to do with politics, just practicality.
The NSA knows well just how much stuff can be gleaned from an under sea cable, so why would they want anyone else putting their equipment in place to tap into later? Too many taps spoils the surprise.

That's why they designed in quadruple redundancy.

Black humor or not, that's just funny.
Still, Suse was doing most of the maintenance on that package for many years before her demise.
there are too many bugs in btrfs for it to be installed in production:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?component=btrfs
Well, hold on a second here...
Your list shows 196 bugs with only 36 still un-fixed.
Yet EXT4 shows 214 bugs with still 34 still un-fixed.
Yet Ext4 seems to by adopted by world plus dog.
On the other hand, OpenSuse, and SuSE before them, have a track record of adopting newer file systems as the default.
They also demote some filesystems as the default, (while still making them available for the user to set as the default.).

Really? A room full of grade school kids in a locked room aren't likely to put up much of a fight once the whacko dispatched the teacher.
Would you then lobby for registering all big knives?
You haven't thought this out very well, have you.
The problem is not the evaluation of weapons, it's the over supply of whackos.
We believe in education. People can distinguish between movies and real life.
Besides, US movies are seen around the world. Yet you seem to suggest they only affect the US. How is that?
And which part of the amendment discusses magazine size or automatic fire?
