The very same. Do check the date on your copy of that book though. While the 1996 revised edition did somewhat embrace the internet, the 1995 first edition had this to say:
The Internet, wrote Gates, is one of "the important precursors of the information highway," along with PCs, CD-ROMs, phone networks, and cable systems, but "none represents the actual information highway.... today's Internet is not the information highway I imagine, although you can think of it as the beginning of the highway."
A most irritating Slashdot bug. But do take the opportunity to post something sensible, such as "Why wouldn't top bankers pay top dollars for top secrets?
That is incorrect, they released one email in which he asked a legal question about the precedence of laws vs executive orders. In the email, he did not raise any concerns about any programs. It did not verify his story.
The Standard Model is a coherent, thorough description of a very large number of physical phenomena: atomic theory, radioactivity, antimatter, electromagnetism, the nuclear forces, neutral currents, neutrinos, the bewildering range of particles produced by colliders - and much more.
Curious, where does it say the earth is the center of the universe in the Bible?
Oh, probably around Genesis 1:1.
Actually, the whole chapter. It says much about the creation of the earth, and very little about the creation of any other celestial object. In other words, Genesis Chapter 1 is geocentric.
Beg pardon but the brain was designed for survival of the genotype, just like the rest of the organism. It just wasn't designed by who-you-think-it-wasn't.
There are genes which have an impact on language development if faulty or missing, but are they necessarily "genes for language"?
You betcha. A rather well-established survival strategy among humans is spoken language. A newer and less-well-established strategy is written language. It's those new things that undergo the most rapid natural selection. So yeah, "genes for language".

To keep the guns out of Mexico, eh? Not such a bad idea ...
Well the normal procedure is to leap 500,000 feet into the air, and scatter yourself over a large area.
I wish I was a loser like Elon Musk.
If the computer could open a superposition of the two vials, it would go like shit off a greased shovel.

You won't get better confirming evidence from the NSA. This is how they roll.

You may make him commit suicide again. He's done it before, you know.
Did he redirected?
But is he omnipresent? Or just highly maneuverable?
Is Postgres now web scale?
That depends: are you going to blow some project to hell because you get a woody playing with software like it's a sex doll?
a lot of the changes are random
And here's me thinking that all random mutations are random. Give these guys a Nobel Prize.
... whilst only allowing the president or the military to make first contact ...
... only then to find out that interplanetary aliens really hate synth music.
Worthy advice from someone who has clearly mastered the fine arts of debate, persuasive writing, proofreading and capitalization.
As with anything environmentally friendly (LH2/LOX), it is stupidly expensive.
And some things are not as environmentally friendly as they might appear. Bulk H2 is produced from natural gas.
Look up the acronym RTFA sometime. You might be surprised what you find.
Now I'm waiting for a community service announcement like this one in an old episode of The Young Ones. Fast forward to 5:07 :
"The BBC would like to warn all small children that pushing people inside old fridges is a bloody stupid thing to do."

Oh all right, here: get some culture. And some more.
I'd bet it against your soul, because I think I'm better than you.
What does that even mean?
It means he's a thoroughly dangerous man.
You may not know it, but this man is a spy. He's an undercover agent for the FBI and he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
In a big storage server, that could amount to few kilos, perhaps
Absolutely. That's astute! They're going for cloud storage.
Didn't they confiscate it on check in? Or is it only in the USA (TSA)
They would have, but they misspelled his name on the no-fly list.
I both work for MS and read Slashdot
That's quite OK. Just say three Hail Marys and a P.S. Fuck Beta.
