Basically, the government can force you to do anything it wants, and there's nothing you can do about it. Strange, I remember hearing about some document that spelled out certain limitations on the governments powers, and certain rights that people had, but I must have misremembered.
What is low grade helium? Helium is not petroleum. It mostly doesn't react with anything, so at worst, it is mixed with some other gases. Surely they can be separated.
No, that's not even close. Privacy laws don't mean you can't hire someone to read your mail and discard the bad stuff. Otherwise, politicians would have a big problem.
Frankly, I think Google should be able to do whatever they want with their email service. Privacy is a reasonable price to pay for email service.
Of course they want to win. They just don't have the resources to do it, so their efforts look like terrorism rather than civil war. Scaring people is a means to an end, not an end in itself. They want to get some kind of concession.
Almost all outputs of human labor are perishable. Grain stored in a silo will rot or get infested. Cars break down. Computers become obsolete. Money should reduce in value too, since money is (or should be) foremost a mechanism for exchange of perishable goods or labor. If money increases in value in time, or even stays the same, this encourages hoarding, since money becomes a better investment than what it supposed to stand for. If you did me a favor ten years ago, it matters to me less than if you did one today, because time erases everything. Your money should also be worth somewhat less today. It's silly to think that the labor or goods of your ancestors should entitle you to goods today, but people think that way about money.
Of course, the rich DO NOT want their money to diminish in value.
Streaming is going to come with massive overhead and latency. The only reason I would want to stream is if the back-end was MUCH more powerful than the terminal. Otherwise the overhead isn't worth it. If I had a personal supercomputing cluster maybe....
That's because you aren't doing development on computationally expensive simulation codes that run on supercomputers. Because then you would use FORTRAN. C++ is such a memory hog, and the memory overhead scales with the number of processors. In FORTRAN, you only allocate what you need to use, and that's important when working with large arrays. Java and Ruby are out of the question.
FORTRAN is not obsolete, because there are currently no other languages that can fill the role. When running simulations that take 100000+ cpu-hours, it's worth the extra coding effort to write it in FORTRAN. Assembly language isn't being considered because generally, these codes need to run on different supercomputers which all have unique architecture. Therefore, optimizing compiling scripts exist for each supercomputer for use with FORTRAN.

Is it really getting harsher and harsher? Yesterday, you were branded a communist. Now you are branded a terrorist. But which is worse?
Does slashdot count as reading?
So, they are like Megaupload
The correct way to encourage sustainable practices isn't to subsidize some companies, but to tax polluters.

yes and no

Does it show the warning in any of the linked articles?
It depends on if wages keep up with inflation. If not, then employers are benefiting, until workers get fed up and quit.
How does default destroy resources? Default destroys debt. Assets remain.
A "good" cop is one who lets activities that I engage in slide, while punishing other people's activities when they harm me.
You know, if the poster begins with "I'd bet", he or she is acknowledging that the statistics are made up, and there's no need to point it out.
Actually, I was more concerned about the delay in various compression and encapsulation stages.

Yeah, but if you are in debt, that's a good thing.
Indie games are often DRM free.

The hell is wrong with your computer if it can't deal with third party hard drives?
If Genesis is believed to be complete fiction, then why should anyone believe anything else in the bible?
It will accomplish greater redundancy and greater throughput.
I've worked at several big chemical plants and all of them have had spills.
Wow, I feel much better about this now.
You got a source for that? Otherwise, I don't see how that is informative.
