You're setting up a false dichotomy between silence and issuing an apology. You can apologise for something you did, directly or via delegation, but an expression of disagreement with something your predecessor's predecessor's... predecessor did shouldn't be termed an apology. By saying that he apologises, Brown is pretending that he was to blame, which is a pointless fiction.
China has a lot of coastline, but even so I imagine that most of its population aren't capable of swimming the Bering Straits, so boats will be a serious limiting factor on the number of people they can move.
In general, no, but I have heard it claimed before that on flights from Latin America to the US they're required to report people who don't eat or drink anything, because one possible reason is that their stomachs are full of condoms containing cocaine.
Placebo-resistant bacteria don't worry me: there are loads of ways of dealing with bacteria. But placebo-resistant viruses? The thought sends shivers down my spine. Imagine a common cold which can't be cured in a week by curling up in bed with a hot water bottle and a glass of lemon juice!
Marking essays remotely should be straightforward enough, and allows a student who isn't cheating to get some idea of how they're doing. Then bring them in for two days to sit down in front of an invigilator and take exams which count for most or all of the credit.
I think that's how it was supposed to work with the distance learning course I enrolled in a few years back, but they didn't seem to have the concept of administration. When I failed to get the mark back for my first essay, and repeated e-mails hadn't given me any response as to what was going to happen about a seminar which I presume they cancelled (although they didn't inform me of that either!) I gave up.
I could have told you that, because it was reported on back in May. A quick Google search shows that it was also in women's magazine Marie Claire in June. For once, though,/. can blame someone else for the dupe.
1 or 2 hours? That's enough time to prepare a 5 to 10 minute speech, assuming you're not recycling an old one. For a 50 minute lecture it's more like 10 hours' preparation time.
In case you're thinking of starting such a book, I present a handy guide on how to write English. You might also want a collection of words to demonstrate how easy it is to pronounce English.
That's how they treat Gold and Platinum level customers? Wow. Suddenly the completely shoddy treatment of people who gave (and in some cases still give) hundreds of hours of free time to answering questions on the JDCF (and probably other Sun fora) makes a lot more sense.
OTOH taking from the summary the figure of 10.149.073 bases examined we get 1/303.5 of the bases covered, so either peter303 was just a bit sloppy doing the write-up or managed by fluke to get almost exactly the correct figure. I'm inclined to be charitable and go with the former.

But getting a check from Knuth means you found a bug in LaTeX.
Not necessarily. I got mine for catching a typo and an abuse of notation in preprints of part of TAoCP vol. 4.

Do you keep your passport in a Faraday cage?
Personally I just go into work and infect all my colleagues, but have you never heard of man flu?

I would have thought it made sense to carry it less discretely. If they split it into several pieces then it will be more discreet.

How did they manage that before support for 4096 cores?

At a bare minimum the summer solstice, but there are claims that it also computes eclipses.
Or mock them. (Chasers' War, for those who've seen it before).
Who modded this offtopic? Stonehenge is seriously claimed by some to be the UK's oldest computer.
Are there really people here who don't get the joke?
Yes. But don't worry: I'm getting off your lawn.
I think they're a common side-effect of sickle-cell anaemia, a mutation which also provides resistance to malaria.
