When in the field, a soldier gets stressed out - sure, however they get to use much of the innate stress mechanisms humans and animals have of fight or flight.
When sitting behind a computer screen in an air conditioned office - much of the stress is still there however there is no mechanism for management.
Just ask an air traffic controller if they think their job is easy - now compound that by actually having to kill people.
Personally - I think these guys probably don't need medals, they probably need lots of counselling.
The fact that so much of the world has so little understanding of science, that they feel the choice is between belief in religion and belief in science.
I'd much prefer a world where belief was protected over in one corner, and knowledge was protected over in the other - and the population as a whole understood the difference.
How would you realistically track our societies on this path ?
You can automatically judge reviewers of large numbers of book by determining how well their reviews fall into a normal distribution.
That is - from a individual's subjective opinion, after reading 1000 books - should form a roughly normal distribution (the worst, the best etc).
So you weight a person's contribution to the overall score by their fit to the normal distribution on their own reviews and the number of reviews they have made.
A rough approximation for the purposes of a 5 star score is 1: 5%, 2: 15%, 3:60%, 4: 15%, 5: 5%. Of course these numbers could be adjusted to allow for equal numbers in each group if they wanted.
Now that the US has designated this status, it gives many more countries the freedom to protect him. It gives him official 'political' refugee status in way more places.
Of course - it also paints a big target on his head, but everything has a down side.

The main difference between C and Java, is that in C you code the bugs personally - in Java, that functionality is baked into to the JVM.
Comes down to who's programmers you trust more - your own, or Oracle's ?
...invisible or something?
How on earth can a country be so contradictory?

Obviously the TLC NAND is named for the Tender Loving Care you need to give it during use.
I think the Slack Lazy Careless stuff is more robust.
I can't afford the $250,000 it would cost to patent ONE thing.
So no - the patent system is for the wealthy.
Only if you say strike earth (as in earth being dirt), however in terms of the biosphere we call earth - they both hit earth.
One of course doesn't reach the surface of the earth, as it burns up in the atmosphere of the earth.
I sense a pedant in the wings.

They will only be screwed if they pay you use fees.
Other than that, they legally wont be allowed to be screwed.

I know it is in Australia (ACCC).... would have thought US had more protection.
My calculations would say it probably went at a speed of around 0km/second, placing it now around 0km from Earth after 5 years.

Of course it matters which was which, the Shadows had way cooler stuff.
stomping around the universe.
Best not to be underfoot during this battle.
So the question remains, which one is Samsung, and which Apple ?
Some Flowers for Algernon anyone ?
.. in a way.

No - an iPad is a tool, a Laptop is a tool - they are just tools for different jobs.
Using an iPad as a laptop is like using a fork to cut steak - you can do it, but it takes a bit of work.
We all know that alien computers talk seamlessly to Apple devices.
So the aliens have been collecting them for years.
What took the aliens so long to publish them - was talking to a Dell Windows laptop.
What he means is that once the Libs get in at the next election, they will stop it being built.
FTTH will be replaced with FTTN.
So - why does a cop car need a million bucks worth of Heroin in their boot ?
One option is - they nabbed a criminal.
... the possibility that the FBI was doing its job.
The only possibilities here are that the FBI or Apple are in the wrong, there is NO possibility that criminals did something wrong.
Remember that simple rule... the FBI and Apple sometimes make mistakes, therefore they are ALWAYS responsible for things. /groan
I'd like a survey of the Jurors to determine what type of phone each of them owns :)
A small developer doesn't have the money for the trial by combat system in the US.
It would change nothing.
When it costs a small developer millions of dollars to patent search and licence obvious designs, we have killed innovation.
