Look at the bill. A cyber security emergency is when a piece of critical infrastructure gets owned. In times like that, you need to drop that shit off the network ASAP, and figure out what happened.
GP:
then I have to wonder who put such a critical systems on an unsecured, unreliable network
Yes, scientists studying moon rocks have to write research grants in order to borrow a piece less than one gram in size. Yet the Dutch prime minister was given a fist sized moon rock. Yeah, OK.
Perhaps some (real) chunks are more valuable/useful/interesting than others. TFA:
The US agency gave moon rocks to more than 100 countries following lunar missions in the 1970s.
If, per the article you linked to, NASA carried back "842 pounds" of rock, it makes little sense to loan out grams at a time unless there is something mighty special about those grams, and/or mighty boring about the other 841 pounds. So it doesn't quite add up as simply as you are saying.
SAT is more than any old NPC problem. SAT is THE canonical NPC problem as it was the first to be proved so, by constructing a SAT problem from any given turing machine.
Pretty much *by definition* of NPC can sudoku problems be 'reduced' to a SAT problem. That more a property of SAT than it is of sudoku.
If you want to get all technical about it, the creator already HAS "[promoted] the progress of the useful arts and sciences," by creating something, which copyright law then "[secures him] for limited times [..] the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries".
And more to the point - there are more permissive licenses. Personally I like BSD and equivalents. Certainly no derogatory term would apply there as far as I'm concerned, certainily not 'viral.'
2-letter acronyms for the US states are so common, and so easy to recognize from context, that I don't think it's unreasonable. I'm not American and I picked up on it instantly. (Anecdotal, I know.)
I've never really felt that nethack was fun, because it was ME running around in dungeons. Nethack is fun because it speaks to logic and bad puns (i like bad puns. I like bad punch too, if it's spiked).
Although I get your point, my experience is a little different; I remember playing 'larn' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larn) (a kindof easier-to-understand/play version of nethack - i never got the hang of nethack, too many buttons perhaps?) and being really immersed; as in, addicted, driven, while playing, affected when dying, and being terrified of the letter 'd' on the screen (some dragon).
In bioshock, less so, although I still enjoyed it. I could go into why I think this is but your guess is probably as good as mine. (By which I mean, quite good, but lengthy.)

I'll let you and GP talk to each other. You:

Most faults on most platforms are caused by hardware faults
bullshit.
first sensible post i've seen in this crazy story :)

accidentally modded this 'redundant,' thereby accidentally enobling it more than i wanted.
No.
Viral was about the license.

Haha cool :-)

what's so bad about it?
I don't quite get it - what damages?
oh, i thought linuxbios (nowadays coreboot?) actually worked?

Poor attempt at trolling. Get your facts straight at least.
It's 300% of the old boottime, which is a 200% increase.
well, there is an open source bios project, so that doesn't have to be the problem.
Says the one that takes a good joke too far...
Sorry :)
But come on, admit it. A spelling error like that in such a nasty post.. no-one could have resisted it. You're just jealous ;)
Says the one who can't use the proper from of 'their'.
Says the one who's sentence doesn't parse.
Says the one who doesn't know when to use "who's" or "whose" :-)
Says the one who doesn't know how to properly terminate a sentence.
That's reaching a bit, but oh well, if you say so.

It was funny for a year, apparently.
Graphics can be great for immersion.

while probably technically with merit, sentences, verbiage like this make me want to be sick. exorcist sick.
Tell me again what Facebook's revenue model is...??
