I have tasted high end wines. I do enjoy wine. I just find the diminishing returns of price to be seriously in play once you get past $50-$100 or so.
Is a $500 bottle of wine better than a $50 bottle? In most cases yes. Is it actually 10 times better? Almost never.
I agree. While price matters to a certain extent (a cheap $10 bottle from the grocery might not be as good as a nice wine), spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a bottle of wine is a proposition with extraordinarily diminishing returns.
When you see how absurd some of those prices are, it's not surprising that you have people trying to fake it for a quick buck.
Infection with these new strains typically means death for the patient."
I'm not sure where this comes from. The article says that typically the patient only dies if they have a weak immune system. It even gives an example of a (supposedly healthy) news correspondent who chose to forego treatment to save her kidneys and eventually recovered.
In that case you would need deep packet inspection to get the URL as the summary states. If you don't have that then I assume yes you would not be able to prove anything.
7 TeV is still more than 3 times Fermilab's total collision energy.
This more conservative ramp up is probably smart given the previous problems with equipment failure on the LHC. This will allow the systems to be tested thoroughly before going to max capacity.
On the other hand, if the guy wasn't honest about his degree, how did they have any guarantee his work was honest?
He could have manipulated someone else into doing the work for him or cut corners to obtain the result that was sought in perhaps undesirable or illegal ways.
If your organization used Paypal and they froze your assets once, and you "struggled for more than half a year" to resolve it, why the fuck would you STILL be using Paypal?
Well Everest is just under 9km up, and people have scaled it without oxygen. However these were mountaineers, and not duty free guzzling pilots.
Also that's a totally different scenario. High altitudes like that without oxygen while mountain climbing are achievable only by letting the body acclimatize for several weeks at progressively higher altitudes during the climb.
You take anyone at sea level and put them immediately at 9km up without oxygen, they will pass out within minutes.
Arianespace is not entirely private though. Governments in Europe payed significant amounts toward the development of their rockets and they also subsidize losses incurred by Arianespace so the company does not have to make a profit.
Maybe but price is not the only consideration in a 2 year phone contract. Lots of people may not want ATT, lots of people might have an existing contract already.
Even though the price is higher, being a device unencumbered from long term commitments will be an advantage in comparing sales to the iPhone.
If Apple gets the tablet right and it sees high demand for the product, I don't see 10 million being an unreachable goal. The iPhone has a significant impediment to sales that a regular computer doesn't have, you have to sign up for a 2 year phone contract that costs over $2000.

OMG PONIEEESS!!!!
that SCO can't afford
Don't be so sure. If there's one thing SCO might actually hold a patent on, it would be increasingly complicated ways to avoid death.

The new standard in router benchmarks for the 21st century!
...electronic torture?
We can just declare this method in violation of the computer's rights and solve the problem easily!

Interplanetary travel? Yeah I can totally see Scaled taking over development of the Ares V, lol.
unless they used a God class for everything.
There's more actual risk from 'motherfucking snakes' on the plane than from batteries.
yeah I mean, some people could have been discussing what kids they molested recently over dinner.
It would be unconscionable to miss this valuable peace of information in bringing them to justice.

Seriously is child pornography going to be trotted out for EVERY encroachment on privacy that we have to endure year after year?
It's getting so old.

Huh?
The Air Force is not delaying the launch. SpaceX isn't ready to launch it yet. The delays are caused by them, not an outside party.
How is NASA supporting that now that Ares V has been cancelled.
No private firm is going to build a rocket of that capability anytime in the near future.

and bounced
No no no, bouncing forged mail is a horribly bad idea. That just clogs up legit people's inboxes with spam that it looks like they sent.
Forged email should simply be dropped by the server.

Air becomes incompressible at supersonic speeds
No it's the opposite, it becomes compressible at supersonic speeds. Low speed airflows are incompressible.

I would be more concerned that senior tech leaders are actually clicking on links in malicious emails than the fact that they are running IE.
