Not as such - as seen in the summary where geckos are mentioned. One side is made up of a LOT of very smooth surfaces of microscopic size which gets around the problem.
From an engineering perspective, it's going to be a problem
Which has been worked on for decades and is paying off now with a few different things - I think another is called "gecko tape".
Probably not well at all. A relative sprays geckos with insect spray to make them fall off the ceiling. Since the poison is unlikely to act quickly (or probably not at all on a reptile), it's likely to be the propellant getting under their feet. It's not much good sticking to a liquid instead of the wall under the liquid.
I stay around partly because trolling trolls is fun
It appears that you are a far slimier piece of shit than I suspected. That explains why you denied all that stuff that was global news and why you are baiting me by pretending that even Indonesian tobacco companies are in some way government agencies.
Yes, that is much better and you may notice that just like this case such a thing is considered as a criminal matter when discovered.
Anyway, pushing people back in the queue and driving up the costs which are ultimately paid for by the taxpayer to make tokens for a pyramid scheme is IMHO something worth discouraging as a criminal matter and not a civil dispute.
Because in terms of knowing how Swedes have chosen to set up their government, I am actually about six.
Not just that example Mr "Industrial espionage by governments cannot possibly exist because government involvement in business creates a weasel of a definition shift". Why exactly are you here to discuss politics on a tech site and never anything technical? Does it pay well?
You are really going out of your way to justify making money at the expense of other suckers that didn't see it coming. I know that some people see it as "the American way", but that is just so that they can wrap that turd up in a flag and feel that it is OK to take advantage of others. Sadly we are learning more about the faults or secret desires of other posters than about the actual topic:(
I do feel compelled to point out that “victimless crime”
As pointed out above you are diverging wildly from the situation - making a profit by reducing the resources of others and driving up the costs of others is not a “victimless crime”.
As soon as NASA got involved in the late 50's we had a mess
Wow - you've really wound the clock back as far as when everyone was using tweaked V2 rockets and the British had just as advanced a rocket program as the USAF - good job! For a while after NASA started the USAF improved their own rockets a great deal due to an extent to some people being involved in projects for both.
To a lot of people involved in making rockets, the USAF and NASA were customers instead of the sources of the technology themselves.
I get that you wish to mislead the readers here but you have still failed to mention why despite my repeated enquiries. Are you employed to do it but your employer failed to choose someone who fits in well with the demographic here? What on earth brings a young authoritarian revisionist historian political wonk to a technology discussion site?
I looked at them but clearly do not need to read them, since I know it already you annoying and deliberately ignorant little shit. Fuck off with your disgusting little distractions from your "might makes right" and "anything can be done in the name of the King" bullshit.
Well so if the Bitcoin pyramid scam now that tax departments around the world have all noticed it so what's a little more lunacy? Don't worry - nobody can catch them with this digital pretend currency made up of detailed list of all the transactions that have been carried out on it - or so they think for some very strange reason.
That's a pretty big assumption which is unlikely to occur on many systems that go under the name of "Supercomputer". From what I've seen it's like telescope time for astronomers - if there isn't a long queue to use the thing then it mustn't be working properly at the time.
Just like if you got a supercomputer and used it to play games
I think this is probably where we get to see the divide between the "never give a sucker and even break" people and those that see such an attitude as amoral. Yes, perfectly fine to screw others over to fill your own pocket - just like playing a game is it?
Of course there is a reason. You fuck other people around in the workplace for your own profit and you should get penalised as if you were stealing their equipment and selling it.
"Research into bitcoin"? Seriously? They were mining bitcoins and doing so at taxpayer expense. What legitimate "research" could they possibly have been doing?
To see what each one tastes like? My bad, that only works with whales.
Heavy manufacturing in the USA has been utterly fucked over by a mismanaged steel industry on government life support that has forgotten how to stand on it's own. That has forced serious costs on other industries and started the avalanche of manufacturing industry departing offshore in the first place some decades back. Electronics is a late departure but most of the heavy stuff left the building about when Elvis did. Think about things like shipbuilding, mining equipment, trains etc - all stuff that used to be made in the USA in vast quantities and exported some years ago but now there is very little of that or any heavy engineering in comparison to the 1970s.
Fair enough, but for whatever reason I never saw anyone fooled by Eliza for more than a few seconds back in the day - perhaps it was clues in the environment etc.
The far anything are idiots by definition since reality is considered less important than ideology (eg. the ideology of denying the that the century+ old established science of studying climate is valid - or even those that deny geology has worth).
Interesting, I have not heard that story but it makes some sense because electrostatic precipitators, bag filters, scrubbers etc do have non-trivial running costs - have you got any links? Also there are plenty of sources of pollution in China that are not coal fired power stations or similar where exhaust goes up a nice easy to control stack. It's been twenty years since I've been near a blast furnace and don't have a clue what happens with the exhaust, plus there are a lot of vehicles in China now. Even though the coal burnt in China has buggerall mercury or sulphur (which US coal is cursed with), what they do have adds up, plus if all that NOx is not getting removed by scrubbers that's a vast amount of nasty stuff that can drift a very long way.
I'm not so sure, it would be hard to pin down the number of people that played along after they worked out it was a bot from transcripts alone. You can hear it today with some of the current recordings of VoIP chatbots out on the net where some people are obviously fooled, some hang up obviously not fooled, some are playing along and clearly not fooled, others have worked out somewhere in the middle because they are clearly playing along by the end. I had plenty of "conversations" with Eliza back in the day despite running the thing myself so knowing it was a program but the transcripts may have made it look like I was "fooled" despite playing it as a game. However I must concede that the literature is very likely to take all of that into account and control the conditions. I do know that when I tried to trick people with Eliza it never worked for more than a few seconds, but there could have been a lot of reasons for that.
the human interrogators would be as smart as Turing and his friends
Thus "intelligence" and not other human activity such as cheering at a sporting event when events happen or other things that follow simpler and easier to script rules for a mechanical turk.
One of the things Snowden exposed is how utterly shambolic the NSA is and how there is a vast attack surface which would be highly vunerable to foreign agencies or even organized crime. If China and Russia didn't already have access to what an external contractor in Hawaii like Snowden had then they wouldn't have been trying at all.
Chinese have surely previously copied Snowden's stuff and possibly reached a deal with the USSR
The press already have it so there's no reason for governments to make deals - a few bucks or a cheap favor to a paper and they've got the lot.

Once again, watch a gecko or see some video footage of one for an example of this idea in action on wood and metal.

What a tiresome little child you are. I suggest at least attempting to get your mental age to match that of your teeth.
I looked at them but clearly do not need to read them, since I know it already you annoying and deliberately ignorant little shit. Fuck off with your disgusting little distractions from your "might makes right" and "anything can be done in the name of the King" bullshit.
In both cases you are not hogging a scarce resource of others for your own profit so I don't see how it can be compared at all.
Personal profit so more like charging people to use the employers phone system and pocketing the cash while the employer pays the bill.
Well so if the Bitcoin pyramid scam now that tax departments around the world have all noticed it so what's a little more lunacy?
