It doesn't say science depends on morality or that science is inherently moral, immoral or amoral. It says that when people think 'scientifically' they tend to consider moral issues more often or in greater depth. That may because those understanding the scientific principles are also aware of the lack of inherent 'morality' in them. So they are motivated to think beyond the pure science.
They got their start writing a Basic interpreter for the MITS Altair. Bill and Paul had access to a PDP-10 at school. And their Basic looks a lot like the Basic I remember from my PDP days.
And then Bill got on his high horse about people stealing 'his' Basic.
The solar constant is about 1.36 kW/m^2. One quarter sun would be about 0.34 kW/m^2.
My microwave magnetron output is 0.75 kW. Spread out on a sphere of 2.2 m^2, this is 0.34 kW/m^2.
The area of a sphere is 4*PI*r^2, so r = 0.42 m
I was wrong. Its like standing in front of a microwave with its door open a little less than half a meter away. I was being conservative in my previous post.
If girls don't want to get into tech why are we trying to encourage them.
By the time they get to college, they don't. And they stay away from math and science fields as well. But before high school, the interests (and skills) of boys and girls tend to be pretty well matched. High school is where one or two loud mouthed mysoginists start making trouble and imposing their world view on the social order. And the faculty is powerless to do much about it
There has been some success at splitting the genders up and allowing women to develop interests and study in all girls classes or schools. But this does introduce socialization problems when these students re-enter mixed gender organizations (college or the workplace). Particularly if there is no attempt at weeding out the troublemakers from the mainstream. Perhaps the best solution is for grade schools and middle schools to cull the knuckle-dragging morons from classes and divert them into trade schools. Where their abilities more closely match a future career of breaking rocks with sledge hammers.
Its the idea that your status in an intellectual setting should be based on how far you can throw furniture. Or how far you could throw a football back in high school. These sorts of attributes may have some validity in some blue collar jobs, like ditch digging or bricklaying. But they have no value in a high tech company.
As long as you're watching the BBC, they won't care much.
But the NSA, and undoubtedly their partner services such as the GCHQ have a secondary task of reporting criminal activity to the appropriate LE agency if they encounter it. No doubt, the BBC and British taxing authorities are interested in anyone bypassing the television tax. So any VPNs that are found that might be bypassing this tax could be throttled. Or cut off completely.
The security services don't need to decrypt your traffic. They can just switch on BBC2 to see what you are watching. But they probably do track and report any instances of VPNs found carrying their content to the television police.
That's not the way background checks for security clearances work. You don't snoop on your own wife/girlfriend/whatever. The agency has people that check out your activities and associates from time to time for any potentially compromising (blackmail potential) situation or connections to foreign intelligence or criminal groups. Other information uncovered is rarely fed back to the employee.

Personally, I welcome our overlord Riddick.
but want well-lit cities,
Do not want.
Criminals don't give a damn about the 'cover of darkness'. That is just the sales pitch power companies made up to sell street lighting.

You know those magnets that can shut down a portion of your brain if you put the plate right against your skull?
This explains those people walking down the street wearing headphones.
This could be extended to sites like Slashdot. And be used as a sort of aversion therapy for people who read posts by timo....[Ouch!]
Simple deductive reasoning: Super tankers are made of the same stuff as paperclips.
Checks outside. Still raining. Screw it, back to Slashdot.

At least he knows what size shorts I wear.
This is just the culmination of the Dilbert Principle.
A wife.
What? You haven't moved your entire life history, personal photo albums and soul to the cloud yet?
What's wrong with you? You need to be sent to a consumer re-education camp.
The design being discussed has an intensity at the ground of 1/4 sun.
That's like standing a few meters away from a microwave oven with a broken safety interlock running with the door open. No thanks.

Also, they are ordered to retain every single phone sex conversation
They are just keeping an eye on the Secret Service advance teams.

I think the parent was implying something else.
Don't ask, don't tell, don't spy.
I wouldn't trust anything published by anyone named Lucas or a derivative thereof.
