That doesn't get me what I want when I say that I want to live longer than the eighty or so years I can currently expect. I want that living person to have some sort of continuity of memory and personality with who I am today.
They're pumping you full of cryofluids after you died of something. Either they can fix the effects of the cryofluid and whatever killed you, or they can recreate your brain from the frozen copy, or they're going to leave you in the dewar.
If each packet goes through ten Tor nodes on average before leaving the network, then you are anonymous for 1023 out of 1024 packets. In practice, packets only go through three nodes -- entry, relay, and exit -- which means you are anonymous for about 87.5% of your packets.
Now, IP packets can be up to 64KB in size. Loading one image of decent resolution will be maybe five separate packets. That's a 50% chance that the FBI is monitoring every step of the way and can therefore trace that packet back to you. -- assuming that each packet gets a separate route. Alternatively, loading one web page can result in a large number of requests, even ignoring AJAX -- one for each image, javascript, or CSS resource required by the page. Again, if there are five such resources (including the primary html file), you are left with a 50% chance that the FBI traced that packet.
This is a pretty big problem. It can be reduced appreciably by introducing more hops into a Tor connection, but that increases latency, and client applications tend to dislike that.
Thanks to the two-party system, we have a choice between different flavors of the same police state. Since we vote for individuals rather than parties, there is less room to enforce party policy.
In the US, you can throw away your vote on the US Constitution Party (aka the theocratists), the Green Party, the libertarians (who have nice-seeming objectives but rely on the innate goodness of people and free-market economies), or what have you. Or you can vote for a candidate who might be able to get into office. That pretty much limits you to choosing gay rights or not, and how quickly to erode abortion rights.
The main other difference between the two primary parties is how they campaign. The Republicans use more vitriol and lies about fact; the Democrats use more false promises.
Reminders are helpful. I might know that I should question something, but it's not instinctive -- it takes too much effort, and remembering to think is surprisingly hard.
That means no Google apps by default. I'm guessing they'll manage it the same way as flash and mp3 support on Ubuntu desktop -- offer a way to install the troublesome applications quickly and with no fuss.
It's unlikely that you would alter the changes specific to your copy. It means they'll have to record the specific changes made for each ebook and compare, and sometimes with your algorithm multiple people's would match, but I imagine oftentimes they'd still be able to match it against a unique person.
He's not asking people to encrypt their messages with his public key and send him the encrypted text in base-64 format. He's asking for email providers to enable transport-layer security by default and possibly reject plain-text transmissions. An individual mail server can enforce this, but if the sender is using a mail relay, then the message might go unencrypted between the sender and the relay.
The first time you implement something, you don't know there's a market for it. You write something that is very specific to your customer's needs.
The second time you are asked to implement it, you have a known demand, and you have a chance to resurrect the old code and make it better suited to a wider variety of uses. You can charge the second customer the amount it would take to implement from scratch, and use that time to clean up and prepare your previous work for their purpose and for general audiences.
Carriers for him serve two purposes: LAC carriers -- which throw out a large number of small, independently crewed ships -- provide easy flanking (for craft with impenetrable shields along two planes, this is important), and missile pod carriers allow for offloading large numbers of missiles at once.
LAC carriers are relatively cheap. Pod carriers are quite expensive, but mainly because they throw out a thousand missiles where a typical engagement would previously have expended a few dozen.
Why not alternate between work and retirement? Work a standard job for 20 years, then take off 15, then start thinking about your next career and maybe go to college again. Or look for a standard job when your retirement funds wear thin. Or look for an awesome job that you won't view as work so you can keep at it for a longer period. And if you didn't find one this retirement, you'll have twenty more retirements in which to try again.
Bad analogy. People are tracking your interactions with their servers, and sometimes selling this information to others. It would be closer to a department store using facial recognition with their security cameras to track your behavior in their store.
You need maybe the tenth percentile of physical fitness for a Mars colony. Probably more like twentieth.
For the Olympics, you need people who have molded their bodies for some particular purpose. Most of them have high general fitness. This level of fitness is outrageously high.
If I were reviewing code and saw a crass reference to primary or secondary sex characteristics that was not explicitly required, that would not pass code review. I would also have a talk with the person about professionalism. It doesn't matter whether they are male or female. It's not how I want my company to be portrayed externally, and it's not something I want in my corporate culture.

So you want to live about two centuries. Perhaps a bit less. That's twice as long as you currently have.
Is your aversion to suicide greater than your desire to live an extra hundred years?

If you want to juggle multiple browsers, one only for silverlight, then use netflix-desktop. Otherwise use Pipelight.

Like what? Change the laws that they aren't obeying so they disobey even more?
That's...brilliant.

Because most people are running on EC2 and the Virginia datacenters are the most popular for that?

I think you mean HQL, not SQL.
Hell, that wording probably bans dice. No D&D at the local game store, I guess.
Hey! Java is only six or eight years behind C# these days.

Get four or five copies of the book, compare them, and wherever they differ, go with the majority variant.

Nationalized healthcare solves this problem. For-profit corporations have no business in health insurance.
"Well sir, we've pretty much exhausted the available resources around this star, and worse, the star's going to go nova soon."
"The Kuiper belt?"
"Mined out fifty thousand years ago."
"The Oort cloud?"
"Slim pickings. At the current rate, we've got enough for another century at the outside."
"Dammit, you've got to give me something!"
"Well, there *are* other stars..."
"Don't be ridiculous, it takes resources to get there."
