Age is not important. The fact that you have to ask this question puts you in the old dog category. Your experience with other languages ought to give you a head start in learning new languages, and your knowledge of programming paradigms should carry over immediately. Somebody with your skill shouldn't be asking such a question, but just doing it.
Bad analogy. In your example, the merchant is adding some value to the potatoes by transporting them to another place, and moving to another geographic area with a different price. In the case of high frequency trading, there is no transportation to different geographic areas going on. The high frequency trader is simply buying up property and selling it for higher in the same place. He isn't taking advantage of a price differential between two places. Really, a better analogy is scalping.
Great, this is just going to be picked up by circumcision proponents as another reason to force circumcision on newborns. Never mind the fact that babies aren't going to be having sex for a while. Certainly they can wait until they can decide for themselves if they want to modify their body.
Just because it's long-established, doesn't mean it's valid. Every medical procedure which is done without consent must be carefully examined, and re-examined as more information becomes available. The procedure had better well be overwhelmingly indicated to balance the invasion of one's body. In some cases (phimosis, etc), there is a strong indication. In MOST cases, there is none. Other reported benefits, like protection from sexually transmitted diseases can wait until the boy is old enough to decide. There is no need to protect a newborn from sexually transmitted diseases.
Wrong. Electricity can be converted to heat with 100% efficiency, but coal cannot be converted to electricity with 100% efficiency, so the total efficiency of electric heat is low. (There is also some loss of electricity in the power lines.) On the other hand, natural gas can be converted to heat with fairly high efficiency.
There are good reasons to use compression in some situations. Having a roughly constant volume is better when there is a lot of ambient noise in the environment, because one can adjust the volume so that most of the song can be heard above the noise. Uncompressed music will sound better in a low noise environment. Most people listen to the radio while driving a car, which is a very noisy environment, so compression makes sense for the radio. Actually, most people listen to music while doing something else, so they don't really intend to pay attention to what they're hearing.
I call bullshit on that. I'm sure car manufacturers would far prefer that every old car were relegated to the scrapyard. The cash for clunkers program was basically a bailout for the car manufacturers.
It sounds like we need a hacker to obtain the originals, and then do a diff comparison with the redacted list to automatically glean the parts of emails with any value.
The charges were dropped, of course, since they had no chance of standing up in court. The point was to intimidate the guy and put him in jail. The problem is that cops can just arrest you for a bogus charge and then drop the charges later. You get screwed anyway.
A fair comparison between US and China will cover the issue of degree. Both US and China censor things, but China censors more things and enforces the censorship more strongly. To say censorship is censorship is to make an absolutist statement.
There are more choices than ever. If you don't like what's coming out of the big corporate game companies, then don't purchase from them. The internet allows everyone to become a distributor. There are plenty of small indie developers with widely varying gameplay. Some of it is crap. Some is awesome.

That's not green.

We need to conquer Mars and make it our bitch, along with Deimos and Phobos.
if I were a cell service provider, I would put out an 11G network.
Don't give them any ideas. They'll just add this on top of the machine usage. (by the way, they already lock the cockpit door)
He presumably wore the colander to make a statement, probably a mockery of how the government bends to religion. There's no hypocrisy here.

Funny you mention GE and Phillips. They were part of the Phoebus Cartel, and they pretty much invented planned obsolescence, or programmed failure.

Make that "lots of military hardware". And plenty of people outside the US want this stuff.
Google should just say they were tracking people in the interest of national security, and then everything will become just fine.

It's much harder to filter phone spam, and in America, you often get charged for the pleasure of receiving phone spam.

This kind of negligence should be criminal.
Yes, the car is locked, but all the cars use the same key. It would have been hard to prepare for this type of vulnerability.

If you are not convinced that USA is imperialist, then you don't know your history.

Only a small fraction of scientific theories would be damaged by not finding the Higgs Boson.
