The crime isn't that he lied. The crime was that he lied when he took the oath of office to uphold the constitution. I know a lot of people don't care about civil liberties and regard the constitution as just a piece of paper that sometimes gets in the way of their goals. I don't. Its sacred to me as much as anything could be; I know that is silly, but I don't care.
This would also create jobs (at least in the short term) indirectly, as those who get the high-paying jobs directly related to this "stimulus" will demand additional production and services to fill their personal needs, which will create other jobs, and so on. In this way, each dollar invested in this infrastructure will actually be spent multiple times.
Of course, the way this is financed is inflationary and backed by the public debt, etc. etc. so in the long term, we'll have to pay all that back and then some.
Do it several times over with different cells and "vote" on the inconsistencies between trials. If 5 out of 7 copies of the DNA look like the base at position X is tyrosine, then it's most likely that it's tyrosine.
Absolutely, or any other type of operations center (NOC, SOC...). Great experience, you get extra pay (shift differential) for nights/weekends, and there are always jobs available because turnover is high (gain experience and move on to a better job).
Rather than tech support, there are other non-coding IT jobs out there.
Systems admin (on servers)
Network admin (routers and switches)
Network security admin (firewalls and IDSes)
Storage engineer (SAN/backup solutions)
Web engineer (webserver management specifically)
Mail admin
Combinations of the above
Much much more
A lot of these could be junior-level in a big enough organization, or in a company where you're a junior consultant sort of person. Usually you work up to that type of position by doing helpdesk first, so it looks like you're ready to move on to something similar.
There are better ways to deal with too much traffic than auto-scaling.
One way is to use caching intelligently. This will allow you to use much less in the way of disk I/O resources, so your bottleneck will be one of {CPU, RAM, bandwidth}. CPU and RAM are very cheap for the amount you need to meet any reasonable demand, compared to I/O throughput. Bandwidth in a cloud (specifically EC2/S3) is virtually unlimited, though you'll pay for it. S3 has a CDN-like feature now too, so you can save money if you put your images on S3 and register that bucket for the CDN-style service.
Another way to scale well - specifically when talking about DDOS - is to use firewalls intelligently. Again, assuming bandwidth is not an issue since we're on EC2, you can use pf instead of iptables to throttle individual IPs to a maximum number of HTTP connections before you drop SYNs from those IPs. You can do this either right on your webservers or put a dedicated load-balancer/firewall type VM out in front of the webservers. (Note: I'm not sure exactly how the LAN side of this stuff is configured, never having actually used EC2, but that's how I'd do it with physical or virtualized boxes on my own network.)
Ultimately, the next few years could be very important for memristor research. Right now, "the biggest impediment to getting memristors in the marketplace is having [so few] people who can actually design circuits [using memristors]," Williams says. Still, he predicts that memristors will arrive in commercial circuits within the next three years.
The generator is more efficient in changing wind conditions. When the wind is faster, it turns on more coils to provide greater mechanical resistance and takes more energy out of the wind. When the wind is slower, the turbine can still run because the generator can be switched to take less energy out of the wind.
This isn't a consideration for regular power plants because the amount of energy sent to the turbine is well-controlled and doesn't vary with time like wind speed does.
It's hard to get 100% pure ethanol because ethanol is hygroscopic. This is part of the problem with using pure ethanol in vehicles (water ends up in your fuel without proper precautions), and why butanol may be a better choice for fuel.
Also, I'm not sure why nobody's mentioned it, but vodka is about the closest you can get to a 60%-40% water/ethanol mixture. Very few if any extra chemicals. Why use tequila instead of vodka?

Gah, thank you. I was typing that while half asleep.

So probably not yet. From what I've seen just from a quick Google search, it will involve updating not just the models but the core code as well.
No.

I'm guessing that depends on how you define the "goodness" of students.

Their MirrorCDN option is also nice, depending on what you're doing. $.07/GB is less than half of what S3 charges for transfer rates.
