I used to work with a guy who repopulated the "spew" random headline generator with management/IT buzzwords. I don't think I could tell the difference between its output and the above quoted text if I tried.
Right. And this is why its so important to have the source code available. Some argue, "Who actually looks at this stuff?" Well, here's an example of someone who did. Not in the classical sense of some aspie code geek reading it by hand. But just feed it to some automated tools and see what pops out.
Logged on to my favorite MMORPG today and found myself confronted by an enemy with a billion strong army. I think I'll just sit back and read a good book or something.
EU regs for beam patterns are also a lot tighter than those for US headlights. My H4 headlamps on a '79 Porsche have a very definite beam cutoff line above which very little light is emitted. The optics also produce a low beam pattern which reaches much farther along the right side of the road than to the left (where the oncoming traffic is). I've never seen anything of this sort on US spec cars (mine happens to be a gray market import).
I can. As others have pointed out, cryogenic engines are of little military use. ICBMs use solid fuel to be able to launch on moments notice. So blocking this technology (meanwhile India went on to develop solid fuel missiles) was probably intended to protect the US commercial satellite business.
But this wasn't private industry. The pipe was put in for the state. Private industry is legally responsible to mark their underground facilities. Public utilities just say 'Fuck it. So sue us.'
And Boeing is full of Chinese. They are still in business.
I worked with some people who were on the BOMARC program. The whole spies thing was just part of the US propaganda to sell their shit. BOMARC was a 100% political gift to the Air Force to get them a piece of the missile defense pie. And everyone on the program knew that.
Does the law as written actually permit the granting of waivers
Yes. If a manufacturer can demonstrate that some resource or component is not available domestically, they can seek a waiver.
The sad part is having worked for a DoD contractor that, upon identifying technologies with potential national security applications, crate it up and ship it offshore before it gets identified and put under ITAR restrictions. Its more profitable to sell the product worldwide from overseas locations and back into a US defense program with the waiver than to get it stuck on American soil.
Even better would have been not to have sold Magnequench to China in the first place.
But they are only a manufacturer that takes rare earths as an input. Had their prices for RE been pushed up, they'd be out of business anyway. What we need is a domestic supply of RE ores.
We could have bought it from Canada. Had we not fucked over their military aircraft program for the benefit of US arms manufacturers. That ill will must run deep for us to have to turn to Russia for our supply.

I was thinking Chernobyl. Nobody will notice a bit more.
I'm already working on it.
I'd mod you up, but my keyboard is covered with powdered sugar.
My car keys......? Damn!

Ow! My sides!

I'll take the sweeties. You can have the IT staff.
Computer: "What did you do the last time you logged on?"
Me: "Surfed for porn and posted snotty comments on Slashdot."
Who woulda' guessed that?
Its Climate Change. CLIMATE CHANGE. Don't you read the latest PR handouts?
From the summary:
United States prevented Russia from transferring the technology to the India in 1993.
Anti-tailgating tail lights.
If they looked like a deathstar beam weapon charging up, even better.

US has been out of the Commercial sat business for over a decade.
But not for a lack of trying. That's the American way: Fuck with the competition instead of building a better product yourself.
We kill spiders.

Yes. But only one book.
