First you take away my ability to influence what the site is about ($rtbl'ed for moderating a comment 'interesting' - which means I cannot moderate or metamoderate anymore), and then you want me to give you money?

A blue-ribbon panel of technology experts assembled by the National Academy of Sciences said lawmakers should consider ending Microsoft's and other software companies' special protection from product liability lawsuits, which have long forced makers of cars, medical devices and just about everything else to pay closer attention to the safety of their wares.
Interesting, but in the case of free software, what would this mean for the developers? We all want Microsoft to be held responsible in some way for their security holes and such, but would we want to be treated the same way ourselves? What would happen when an author of a piece of free software was dragged to court because the software was buggy? And what would happen if it was Microsoft who did the dragging?

a country like China or India, that has billions of 'expendable' people, but little in the way of technological or military sophistication.
What? Do you really still believe that India and China are developing countries? Both are nuclear powers, and China bought much of the former Soviet Union's rather sophisticated air defense systems and fighter jets after the collapse. Their navy keeps buying Russian subs and surface ships. They have also announced that they're aiming to put a man on the moon in a few years time. Unsophisticated, my ass.
Which means what? That they're valid targets? That their deaths are "unfortunate"? That they only have themselves to blame?
I don't think so. You aim those missiles, you fire, and you make damn sure they hit the intended target, not a school, a hospital, a nursery or four sleeping UN workers. And if worst comes to worst, and you do miss the target and hit one of those, you step up, admit your fault, and face the consequences - a courtmartial.
One would have thought that you would have learned by now that friendly fire isn't.
"A week ago, with billows of gray smoke still pouring from the remnants of the World Trade Center, a twin-propeller plane flew 5,000 feet overhead, bouncing pulses of infrared laser light off the scarred terrain below."
So I guess they don't actually monitor it constantly.
The trouble here is that employers are still measuring work effort by how many hours you spend at the office, not how much work you get done. Therefore you get paid the same amount for a 40-hr week no matter if you in reality work 30 or 60 hours.
The solution might be to try to measure work done and pay for that, or simply say that you get paid for 40 hrs no matter how much or how little time you spend at the office.
Is it just that the avarage corp is fairly new to the web that makes them confuse domain names like this? I mean, blizzard.com and blizzard.net are about as alike as apples.com and oranges.com. In my view there is absolutely no reason to think that people would go to blizzard.net thinking it was blizzard.com - and even if they did, they would have to be quite dim not to realize their mistake once connected to blizzard.net
"To Steve Ballmer I would say, perhaps we could have a brief discussion regarding some ways to manage this situation. By now it should be clear that farming me off to your legal staff was not a good decision."
Aw heck, I don't know, but this seems like the key sentences in the article to me.

Leonard Cohen, but hey, nevermind.
But the lyrics to that particular song are quite fitting: I've seen the future, baby, it is murder.

Why does this require a LIDAR to do
It probably doesn't - most likely it's just to note that the LIDAR is pretty accurate - enough to pick out debris on the roofs of buildings.
