I know several people who participated in the attack - I'm not connected to hacker underground but they are. They say that almost all people they know that participated in this attack also dislike Putin and his regime.
It doesn't take an 'ultranationalist' in Russia to protest against the destruction of war memorials - Russia lost 30 million people in WWII (that's about 50 times more than USA lost in WWII).
Personally, I see this as an evidence of how easy is to wage electronic 'guerrilla warfare'.
That depends on what you define as 'seeing'. Is it conformational change in opsins (light-sensitive proteins) or conscious awareness of seeing something?
That's good for RealityTV but in real world I wouldn't want to work on a software where I have to struggle with other people editing the same file code at the same time.
In 99% of situations you should just modularize your code to minimize conflicts, not try to make them 'nicer'.
Not exactly, currently, Android depends on *nix security system. Some features (powersaving, graphics, sound) also require cooperation between Android and the kernel.
It's not much, of course. But you can also argue that you can run Symbian OS applications on Windows if you care to port its API and binary loader.
You can already easily use native libraries in Android, even though it is officially unsupported. Android has a perfectly good security system which makes it possible.
In future, it should even be possible to extend the Dalvik VM (its sources are not available right now).
Static and dynamic approach to LINQ-like interfaces are completely different. It's easy to have a dynamic databinding - you just need to inspect records at runtime. You can literally write it in couple hundreds lines of code.
It's much harder to do it statically. I know only one other language which supports LINQ-like databinding, and this language is Haskell:)
Also, I prefer static languages not because they are faster, but because they are statically checked.
LINQ is different - it's STATICALLY checked while Ruby's or Python's versions are dynamic.
LINQ also introduces type inference, anonymous types and extension methods to C#. While none of this is new, I have not yet seen another _popular_ language supporting it.
JavaFX was pretty big on this year's JavaOne conference. They are planning for release sometime this summer.
I'm not entirely sure that Sun will be able to produce something GOOD at last (they have a long history of disappointments on desktop), but so far it looks pretty good.
Java is planning to do the same - Google for "Consumer JRE". The size of Java runtime is going to be just a few megabytes, about the size of Flash/Silverlight.
Also, JavaFX is rapidly becoming a fairly good alternative to Flash.
There was a similar research program in the USSR - subjects lied on bed for 6 months without moving.
As far as I remember, one subject broke his femur when he tried to stand for the first time after the test. Also, all subjects experienced frequent orthostatic collapses (i.e. they fainted then they tried to stand up).
The damage was quickly corrected by using calcium gluconate injections and physical therapy.
There is one working breeder reactor in Russia and one in Japan, AFAIR.
And several more are being built. Breeders are not cheap and easy to build compared to common reactors, that's why there's little demand for them right now. It's easier to mine U-235.
Russia is MUCH larger than the USA, and its Internet access is rapidly getting better (in Moscow or Saint-Petersburg it is already better than in most of USA).
Besides, the limiting factor in Russia is backbone network - it's almost saturated during peak hours at lots of places. And the USA doesn't have shortage of backbone capacity.
Honestly, no - I've never used Hibernate in particular. However, my job involves not only the usual simple persistance/retrieval stuff (which ORM makes easy) but also writing complex reports (or even not-so-complex reports that just really don't fit the OO view of the data). We write pretty complex reports using HQL and Hibernate, there's no problem with relational model at all. In fact, ER-diagrams used to model relational databases map PERFECTLY into object model.
Instead, problems begin when relational model is not enough and you have to use non-relational extensions of your database or things like views and triggers (which are orthogonal to relational databases theory).
...the OP was asking why anyone would access a DB with anything other than an ORM framework - and the answer is that sometimes the query you run just doesn't cleanly fit the OO model you've constructed. Parent, clearly, has not worked much with complex data processing. However, he has a point - most applications do not even NEED complex data processing.
Most PHP websites just use scores of "select... from... where id=234" which can be automated by Hibernate.
Hibernate performs quite well, it doesn't try to mask the underlying database. HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is just SQL with some additional nice features AND you can use native SQL without any problems.

I'm sorry, but Russian channels reported that the memorial was being moved to the cemetary.
It doesn't make a difference - it's no less offensive.

To be fair, there's also MIPS (on almost all wireless home routers) and SH.
Personally, I prefer MIPS for my embedded devices. It's cleaner than ARM and dev-boards are easier to use.
That's awfully close to 'mindrot' in Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky".

How about a double-supernova? It can, in theory, eject a pulsar with a pretty good proper velocity.
BTW, I'm not an astrophysicist, but right now I'm running different variants of capture scenarios on my cluster.
Maybe, it was a binary system which captured a neutron star, ejecting one companion in the process.
It's possible, but very unlikely.

Nope.

Simple: ignore RST packets. They are not really essential for normal work.
http://www.proza.ru/texts/2006/05/07-127.html - that's memoirs of a military forensic examiner.
I've read about this loooong time ago in a paper magazine ("Technika - molodezhi").

Alas, I can't find a source for this in English.

I'm curious how they achieved it.
Neutrino sensitivity is limited by its VERY small cross-section - it's not hard to detect gamma rays from neutrino-proton interaction.
During the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino_experiment they got only 3 neutrons per hour from a reactor just 11 meters from a detector.
Neutron flux obeys the inverse square law, so this detector should detect only few neutrons per _day_ at the distance if 100 meters.
It seems that this device will have a lot of false positives and negatives.

I mostly agree with the rest of your reply.
Have you even worked with good ORMs?
Hibernate performs quite well, it doesn't try to mask the underlying database. HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is just SQL with some additional nice features AND you can use native SQL without any problems.
I'm sorry. But what is 'relation model' you're speaking about?
ORM is just another way to work with database. It doesn't magically transform relative database into object database.
Alternatively, you can have electric train engines. Like in the most of Europe.
