An efficient computer would produce no heat I think the laws of thermodynamics would have something to say about that. or if designed like a heat pump could even cool a room sure.... if you want to put your computer outside
I hope some crusading federal DAs have their children targeted and decide to go after the RIAA. States have DAs the feds have U.S. attorneys. It would be someone like The U.S. Attorney of the Middle District of Florida
You don't see the big light coloured oval that clearly doesn't fit in with the surrounding area? It's not very impressive looking but it's rather hard to miss.....
Yah I just noticed I linked to the map view rather then the satellite view. It's really annoying that the address bar doesn't update when you change the view. Leads to mistakes like that =/
Your right for the most part. Mainly because you don't get crosshairs in real life.;) (and the lasers don't count because that puts the dot on the target... which can be far away and thus you might not be able to see it quick enough to improve your aim in quick encounters)
But more to the point. It's to make you feel like your more a part of the game rather then provide you with some gaming advantage. I personally think that aiming a gun and firing at a screen like many arcade games have makes me feel much more involved in the game, rather then just using a mouse to click on things.
Now, we all know the concept of mutually assured destruction - it would be insane to attack a nuclear power using nuclear weapons, because nobody can win. They have nukes. Truthfully. It's only mutually assured destruction if they can shoot back. So while it would still be a foolhardy endeavor to attack a country like Russia (not that I'm saying attacking any country with nukes is a smart move.....) that has 1000s of nukes hidden everywhere including those pesky subs. It would be much easy to take out a smaller arsenal like that of North Korea with a first strike. Once their arsenal is gone you no longer have to worry about mutual assure destruction because they have nothing left to strike back with. Though finding those weapons to target in the first place is still a tricky task. It's probably simpler then actually knowing if they have them or not. Example would be even though they were wrong about Iraq having the WMD, I'm sure they still had a list of targets where they would be that were destroyed early in the war. So in the North Korean example, even if they're not sure where the weapons are they probably have a list of sites where they could be, all of which would be struck in a preemptive strike.
If you were a poor person fighting out a living in the ghettos of New Orleans, you might not be so quick to jump to that conclusion. Not all people are lucky enough to have been born with the options available to, say, the average slashdotter. Like legs to walk to the nearest emergency shelter or maybe a buck or two to take the bus? I'm sorry but unless you were physicaly unable to leave the city; it's your own fault if anything bad happens to you when you stay in the face of overwhelming evidence that something terriable is about to happen. And for those that are phyiscaly unable to leave there are more then enough services to call upon to get help to leave. It's not the government's fault when you do something stupid. It's just here to help you when something bad happens. And that's why they are cleaning up the city, rebuilding the levies, and feeding the refuges.
This massive Orwellian bill is the most dangerous legislation since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913; probably even more dangerous, since it will lead directly to establishment of a vast federal anti-hate bureaucracy like Canada's ending free speech. wth?? Yes! Damn you President Wilson for taking away my right to.... ummm... set up a national bank?
Yah it does.... but why would you pay someone on Google Answers to find the answer for you when you have 1,000s of people here that will do it for free?
They're buying it because they think it will make them money. Simple as that. Just because they started out providing one type of service doesn't mean they can't offer something new.
I'm not sure how that makes him amazing... It doesn't really sound that impressive at all I mean we've been communicating with interplanetary probes for decades. From a protocol standpoint how would it really be that different form what we do here on earth? Now if he designed the hardware, that would be impressive.
With a significantly large explosive device you can blow up what ever you want it really just depends on what you mean by significantly large;) 1.3 trillion tonnes of antimatter and you can blow up the earth. But practiley no. Even though a comet maybe only loosely bound it still weighs a lot. So setting off a bomb is likely to make it just slightly looser bound but still a problem for earth.
The supreme court said you were allowed to publish them, not steal them. If someone does both the former does not excuse the latter. Just like publishing Valerie Plame's name that was ok. (although you can't just go around revealing names.... but in the context of the article it was in the public interest to publish it) Leaking her name was not ok and someone could (though it's looking unlikely at this point) go to jail for it. And I'm not apologizing for Chinese government I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of people getting so mad at the Chinese government when they're hardly alone in the matter. And lets not forget that we too are jailing journalist. It's funny, most of the time Americans are considered to be too wrapped on local affairs to know what's going on in the rest of the world. But you seem to be just the opposite, you have no idea what's going on in this country. You should learn about what's going on here before you start condemning others.
Wow you seem to be getting dumber by the second. The Supreme Court held in a 6-3 decision that the injunctions were unconstitutional prior restraints and that the government had not met its burden of proof. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagon_Papers The supreme court was ruling on whether or not that newspapers could publish the documents, it made no ruling on the legality to steal the documents in the first place. Homework for you; learn to read.
Maybe you should have actualy read a little more into that dumb ass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Ellsberg On June 28, Ellsberg publicly surrendered to the US Attorney's Office in Boston, Massachusetts. He was taken into custody believing he would spend the rest of his life in prison; he was charged with theft, conspiracy, and espionage. Apprently the only reason he got off is because Nixon retilated aginst him by breaking into his psychiatrist's office and by having the CIA try to "totally incapacitate" him.
Maybe they have, maybe they haven't I don't know. But in this case we're talking about 'internal Communist Party message' Publishing this type of information is hardly a basic human right regardless of what information was in the memo. We may not agree with this fact but it's China's decision.
And your point is? In china the Age of Consent is 14 and here it's 16. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent Does that mean we're evil for locking someone up for sleeping with a 15 year old? Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they're wrong and your right.
You wouldn't need a country here on Earth to give you claim to Mars. Just go there, start your own country, and claim Mars as your own;)
Of course you wouldn't be able to come back (no one is going to accept a visa from the country of Mars and what not) so you better make sure you have everything in place first for a permanent stay.
Not it's not, it's a very real crime, it's called treason and I'd bet almost every country has some form of it on the books. Freedom of Opinion is not freedom of speech. And in this particular case neither apply. He gave a document to reporters that the government didn't want released. That isn't even protected speech in America.
Guantanamo Bay is filled with foreigners (to the U.S.) A Chinese Jail is filled with Chinese citizens A government looks after it's own first.
But anyway; people in China have rights, have a sentence, and have a trail (fair or not... is debatable) Did you even read the article? sentenced in April to 10 years in prison. The real problem is you don't agree with what the Chinese are doing. Maybe we should send our military over to liberate the Chinese people from their evil government. If the Chinese government is really so terrible to it's people then it's up to the Chinese people to do something about it.
Since when did complying with a government order amount to explicit consent and approval of government actions? Because.... a)We don't like what Yahoo is doing in the first place (the censorship thing) b)It involves the big bad China
Well there's a big difference between invading someone's privacy and jailing them. What the US may be doing is wrong, but China is still in a whole 'nother league.
And technically the FBI doesn't need the Patriot Act to get subscriber info; your standard warrant is more then enough to compel that info. It just makes it easier to justify the warrant. Regardless though, there is still a judge signing off that the FBI has cause to get that info protecting our rights.

I hope some crusading federal DAs have their children targeted and decide to go after the RIAA.
States have DAs the feds have U.S. attorneys.
It would be someone like
The U.S. Attorney of the Middle District of Florida

The real problem is you don't agree with what the Chinese are doing. Maybe we should send our military over to liberate the Chinese people from their evil government.
If the Chinese government is really so terrible to it's people then it's up to the Chinese people to do something about it.
I don't see
'The right to leak state scerts'
listed.
Since when did complying with a government order amount to explicit consent and approval of government actions?
Because....
a)We don't like what Yahoo is doing in the first place (the censorship thing)
b)It involves the big bad China
You are right though, this is a nothing story.
Well there's a big difference between invading someone's privacy and jailing them.
What the US may be doing is wrong, but China is still in a whole 'nother league.
